Yes, ice Adonis and yellow boots are the same drama. Meant to Be is also written by the same writer. I'm looking forward to your feedback, I hope you enjoy!
what other revenge drama where the FL is totally badass would you recommend pls? this is boring af
Here are some dramas I recommend where the FL takes a more active role in her revenge: Gold Mask - FL takes a much active role in her revenge. Meant to Be - this starts slow since there's a lot of backstory but around the halfway point the FL starts getting her revenge, which she has an active role in. If you can get through all the backstory, this drama is definitely worth it. Heaven's Promise - the couple the FL is getting revenge on is similar to Woojin and Juryun. I highly recommend this because Lee Yuri plays dual roles here and it's one of my favorite dailies. Temptation of Wife - older daily from like ... 2008. Starring Jang Seohee and Kim Seohyung this was one of the more famous dailies when it aired because the villainess is crazy lol Ice Adonis - another Lee Yuri revenge drama from 2012. Highly recommend this one as it's the only daily drama I've watched more than once. Story of Mermaid: this is probably the longest daily I've watched with just over 200 episodes. Also stars jang seohee and it's similar to snow whites revenge because the FL is also a screenwriter who is getting her revenge by writing a drama, but this one executes the concept better so it's more interesting to watch Apgujeong Midnight Sun - another longer daily, FL not only takes an active role in her revenge but she's not the typical "bright personality" FL that we usually see in dailies. She's more of an antihero
Currently on episode 6 and I find the "good" characters super obnoxious (especially dongjoo's so-called friend, I literally fast forward through all her scenes) and even dongjoo has her moments lol I'm way more into Sabina and her mom's storyline
Time for my weekly comment ...! Seems like the sponsorship storyline has been put to the back burner for this…
Okay word I just watched ep 55 and juryeon just found out about the sins of her parents. Low-key hoping Juryeon and Seolah team up against Woojin and Jeongin... that'll make it all worth it to me ... see y'all next week lol
Time for my weekly comment ...! Seems like the sponsorship storyline has been put to the back burner for this "fake screenwriter" plot... I'm not a fan of it but I do enjoy seeing Director Na and Sunae lay the smackdown on Jeongin over the implications of changing screenwriters. On a similar note, my eyes rolled back into my head when Woojin came to Seolah's studio and tried to comfort her over the scandal... Iike ummm SIR, aren't you supposed to be engaged to juryeon? I'll be glad when this love triangle ends.
I also realize that we're now more than halfway through the drama and there's no sign that the murder in episode 1 is coming soon... (I'm assuming that poker face is a 100+ episode daily drama) I wonder if that's how the series ends? We'll find out... Well, maybe I won't. This has been getting harder to watch every week lol. But seriously, my prediction is that Jeongin gets murdered between episode 70-85....
Btw, as a regular watcher of revenge dailies, I live for scenes where the FL verbally squares off against the evil character she's getting revenge on (so in this case, Jeongin) but with baek seola it feels like watching a Chihuahua bark at a German Shepherd. But that might also be because, like I said in my last comment, the reason for revenge just feels so low stakes... It could've been written better. It doesn't help that I'm also watching other revenge dramas right now and all of those have higher stakes reasons for revenge lol
Considering dropping this but I'm too invested for the time being. I like director na and his mom so I at least want to see how things end for them... and completely unrelated to the plot, but I high-key use Juryeons outfits as inspiration when I buy clothes these days haha....
At this point, the subplot with the escort/sponsor scandal is more interesting to me than this whole love triangle with Seolah, Juryun, and Jinho. Same with Seolah avenging her father's death.
Sunae & Director Nah is still the best part of this drama. I feel like I fast forwarded through scenes of Seolah's family more than I did in previous weeks as well
After I finish elegant empire I think I might start red shoes, since they have the same writer (and Choi Myung-gil) and speaking of elegant empire.. I think I just realized my issue with the drama ... in EE the reason why the FL wants revenge is way more meaningful than Seolah's... which is probably why the whole Seolah getting revenge on Jinho thing falls flat to me.... it's too low stakes
Currently binge watching this ... Jaclyn Taylor may be my favorite makjang second lead of all time... Woohyuk…
I'm on episode 76 and I went in with the knowledge that the ML gets replaced around episode 30... while the first actor was EXCELLENT (and it's a shame this was his most recent role, I found him so charismatic) I hope he's okay), the second actor ... I'm biased because I enjoyed him in man in a veil, but seeing him play someone as fantastically evil as giyun has been so entertaining!
It's been a while, but yes, I'm still here... watching while I knit lol
Never would I thought that they would go *there* with the sponsor subplot. Sunae is truly pulling the strings with her revenge... like Jeongin doesn't realize that she and her golden boy are getting played. 10000% chance this sponsorship deal comes back to bite them.
I am over Seolah and Woojins story... and so I mainly watch this for Director Na, Sunae (my favorite characters), Seok-ki, juryun and Jeongin. As far as side characters go, I like Eunbyeol too. Some people have drama OTPs, and at this point my Snow White's Revenge OTP is Director Na and a daesang for directing poker face lol
PS: I still believe that this is better than the two sisters (although that's not saying much lol)! I don't even think I made it to episode 44 for that one 🥴
Definitely a slow burn but I'm not complaining. I debated reading the webtoon before watching this but I decided to go in blind.
If I had to guess, Sunhee is taking the fall for Kyungho's murder because of her debt towards Suyeon ... It's safe to say that Suyeon is mentally unstable due to the consequences of the fire
Looking forward to seeing the parents do more in next week's episodes. I don't really have much to say as the last two episodes were mostly flashbacks and exposition that "set the stage"
With the Olympic hiatus happening now I purposely waited until now to watch the most recent eps... And it's finally happening. Jinho has recovered his memories and joined the dark side! Seolah telling Jinho that Jeongin and Taechang killed her dad and Jinho being like "why should I care"? Oh he's ice cold!!!
Episode 31 preview shows that he has fully lost the plot (slapping seolah) so I'll be back sometime next week. In the meantime, I'll be making my way through elegant empire...
Oh and someone tell Juryun that getting proposed to with the ring meant for your partners ex isn't the flex she thinks it is 💀
