I was actually surprised to see the preview tbh... Since dailies usually end on Fridays I thought that was the final episode 😶 (I was low-key glad to see it because I thought that was how the series was gonna end)

If anything I can see it being a dream sequence or she stabs her, Seonju survives, and SangA's prison sentence gets extended from 25 to life since she not only became a fugitive but committed a violent crime while doing so

Guess we'll find out on Monday 😭

I agree - this one is way more dynamic!

This is the first time in a while I've seen a main daily poster with only the FL on it. I wish the main poster was the other one, where she is holding the rose but it is what it is lol

Just watched the trailer and sign me up!

This is an interesting perspective and I see what you're saying. Being forced in bad situations when you yourself don't have the foundation+ emotional stability/support ... things will get messy. People will get desperate when they feel trapped...

It's similar to how here in the US, women weren't allowed to do things like open up bank accounts w/o a man's signature (husband or father) until like ... the mid seventies? That's a huge reason why street walking was a huge thing in major cities... especially if for whatever reason you were running from an abusive spouse/family situation.

I also think people don't realize that SK used to be way harder to live in than modern society. Especially of a person of Soonae's age, SK wasn't doing too well after the split (Fun fact: NK was actually better off until the 90s) and you know the saying, desparate times call for desparate measures. Poverty can do a number on a person... it's called living in survival mode. People do crazy shit when they're dysregulated. And to someone who never heals, like Soonae, she will never see the wrong in her actions. Because in her mind, she was perfectly justified, since it got her out of survival mode and into "the good life"

Me saying this =/= me excusing Soonae's actions, but they shed context

Maneun serves as a good foil to her because despite growing up in the same circumstances, the only crime she committed was annoying me (lol). The difference between having a good emotional foundation and a bad one... early childhood experiences and all that jazz

Good to know!! I liked where the story was going at the beginning, I just got busy with school haha

The fact that sangah was able to get away with sneaking out the hospital the way that she did is crazy work. I was fully expecting for her to get caught. Not as iconic as Lee Yuri's prison escape from Ice Adonis, but....

And she stabbed Seonju at her wedding??? lmaooo what the

I can only imagine how y'all feel - those of you who have stayed loyal to this from episode 1 🤣

I dropped this drama (will probably pick up at a later date) but I got curious and watched the very beginning of episode 123 and BOMB THREATS? ✋🏾😭 HOW did it escalate to this

Watched ep 8 before work this morning:

So Jayoung isn't actually Seungwoo's son and in her PTSD induced rage, she was going to kill Dohee and blame it on drunk Seungwoo? It didn't go that way, but this is SO makjang. It explains why she doesn't want him inheriting YL ... despite their perceives closeness. Now I have to wonder, will his mother end up showing up at some point?

I'm actually shocked bc I thought it would be JAEIN with the birth secret - like maybe seri hated her because she knew they were swapped or something. Idk. But hey, this is a makjang, the writershand out birth secrets like they're candy - anything is possible!

And much to no ones surprise, Dohee is our first fatality in Queen's House - by way of Gichang's Genesis. Of course, Seri was with him and they're gonna hide the evidence! RIP Dohee, she had a good run... and honestly? Doyun and Dohee have the healthiest relationship in this show - Doyun's angst is going to be intense... And it's boram's birthday too? 😭 Now that Dohee is dead, Seri can no longer "hide" behind her. Next question becomes: how long until the affair gets exposed?

I think the story is foreshadowing that Yukyung is going to turn against Jaein ... the threat potential is there. (There will definitely be drama between Doyun/Yukyung/Jaein. Nara is a red herring - it seems like the bratty (ex?) SIL will be Jaein's biggest obstacle, but with Yukyung, the betrayal will sting more. I'm excited to see where this goes

ETA: THE *WAY* DOYUN FOUND OUT???? My biggest anxiety working in healthcare - that I'm going to come across someone I know and love on the job and they've died unexpectedly and nothing can be done.

"Dohee-yah, it's time to go to your birthday party" 😭

NOT HER ENLISTING SERI'S HELP TO "CATCH" GICHANG???? and then ending her request with "don't tell Jaein"

She has no idea she's making a deal with the devil 😭

And in true makjang fashion, the most obnoxious character in the show (Giman, who is my least favorite character hands down) gets to run a restaurant! I'm surprised it happened this early but I'll take scenes of him trying to run a restaurant instead of watching him be a drunk, emotionally unstable man child

So I totally have been neglecting this drama because of the nhl playoffs (duality of woman and all that lol) so I last left off on episode 7 and while I appreciate the heat that Jaein's mother is bringing to Dohee, I wish her spy would've gotten footage of him with the ACTUAL adultress. How I wish Dohee would've exposed Gichang to him instead of trusting in his words 😭

"personal reasons" was the reason given.

Even as of today (May 11 2025) he hasn't actually acted in any project since dropping out of Elegant Empire so I hope he is doing okay

Bold prediction: Seungwoo could potentially get in trouble for drunk driving and his parents are going to try to cover it up in true chaebol fashion...

Whenever Gichang and Seri's hostile takeover of YL group happens, they are going to expose this to the public. Seungwoo uses this as an opportunity to grow up and mature, etc....

If they do this, this would be an interesting parallel - Seungwoo handling his problem drinking in a more mature manner than Giman...

I think Yugyeong is going to be a much bigger threat to Doyun/Jaein than Nara will... I feel like Nara is most likely going to somehow end up with Seungwoo at the very end (hopefully they can influence each other to become more likeable people haha)

Until then, Nara will probably be a comedic relief character... she's not much of a threat. So far, her only "sin" is that she is annoying....

Me too! Seri doesn't seem to be super rich or anything so I wonder if Mommie Dearest going to kowtow to her ...

What does her father have to deal with their relationship? I think I missed something.

You can say that again, I'll always prefer an evil/grey FL over the "bright personalities" (until they have their revenge glow up, that is 😭)

That being said, I don't feel as strongly about Jaein as some other people do. If she were smarter this would be a 10 episode drama not a 100 episode one lol. I think it fits that she's naive - it's a natural effect of growing up privileged and sheltered from the harshness of reality....

At the minimum I would've taken a picture and sent it to myself - probably do a little investigating on my own and once I get more solid proof... expose him!

If the pacing is good, Jaein's turn around may happen around episode 35-40. It also doesn't help that the affair itself barely got any screentime (which also pushes the main story back... smh) the screenwriter seems to think Giman is a main character for some reason?

This is an interesting theory - I took that scene as her looking down on her husband because of the potential of him grooming Gichang as his successor - and she is aware of the fact that Gichang is cheating since she saw the pictures. Like she was probably thinking "oh you have no idea..."

But now that I think about it, the CEO and his wife do feel kind of awkward when they interact.

Right? It was actually funny because right before all of this, Gichang was ready to cut ties with his entire family but somehow everything got flipped around 😭 so frustrating
