It's very messy and full of plot holes.

Kim Siwon revealed the video because was about to be outed as the 'daughter of the crazy Shaman who drove her husband to death'.
She had successfully let them believe that Hye Ryeong is the daughter of the shaman. But after she caught HR with the talisman, SW's coding group was connecting dots about how SW could be the actual daughter as she is sensitive about the topic shamanism and how HR uttered 'your mom...' to SW. She released that video to flip the script before she was outed as the actual daughter.

Si Won was insecure from the beginning. She opens up about her secret of wanting her mom dead just so that she could go ahead and ask Hye Ryeong what her 'big dark secret' is - so that she gets leverage. She hated that HR knew about her background and that she could use it to blackmail her (she even asks HR this directly) or destroy her social life. She was disappointed that HR didn't even have a dark/twisted secret like hers. So, she made a video of what she could get.

Hyeon Wook would've died either ways - because of his timer running to 0 or because of Na Ri's wish. My question is why didn't he die immediately after Na Ri made the wish?

Motivations for Hye Ryeong and Si Won were very weak. We see Hye Ryeong as this sweet adorable girl and suddenly she kills herself so painfully. I agree that they should've shown what she went through to take such a drastic decision but what I really don't get is why Si Won wished for the curse to repeat itself.

Why was Hye Ryeong also stuck in the curse? She kills herself and her wish of them dying comes true. Shouldn't she have been freed then? Did she stick around to stop Si Won? When Ha Young takes control over her and tells Si Won "let's go", Si Won tells her but we have our curses. Is it because Si Won is not fully dead that Hye Ryeong also had to linger? But breaking her phone freed her from the curse (her cut marks disappeared). The more I think about it, the more questions I have lol.

The bromance must live on! XD

This should've been a 12 ep show. They went in circles for the past few eps and we only got some type of development in this ep. I can excuse her not remembering the doc cause even I'm bad at remembering faces (lol) but they should've just revealed her secret to ML in this ep itself. Dragging it too much.

That line made me think that maybe she's also doing it to kinda one-up(?) CEK. Gave me you are my boss, a famous public person, etc. etc. but I'm the one sleeping with your husband kind of vibes. It's like she got a kick out of saying that. Don't know if she's jealous of CEK and did it or because she genuinely just likes the husband but whatever it is, things ain't gonna go well for her.

He also said yes, prosecutor ig?
Either the mole is in the family or they want us to believe that and will show it's someone else.

I decided not watch ep 7 and 8 so that I could binge watch the last 4 eps together. But *sigh* I couldn't hold out XD

No, not saying it's a reason to slap someone. Generally when a character questions if they're dreaming, they would slap or pinch themselves. This just tried to take the viewers by surprise and show something comedic. It was not meant to be taken seriously but I can see why one wouldn't like it. There's not much logic in these shows. For eg: how does she get a job when she doesn't even have an ID?

Slapping a stranger? If you mean in the police station, that was because she clearly aged overnight lol.

Their double dates are really cute haha.

They're also good friends in real life!

She sleeps with the son. They separate but later due to some circumstances she becomes his father's fiancee.

I love the mother-daughter relationship of FL and the sauna owner. Not their relationship exactly but the way the writers wrote it because dramas generally have the cliche of the FL having to "listen to" and "follow" whatever the "mother" says in this kind of a situation. But here it's different.

The mom isn't the step mom type where the FL has no choice but to do the con/listen to her/ has no backbone and won't stand up for herself because of whatever reason (the reason is generally annoying to the viewers). Rather Da Hae is also able to call it quits. The mom is thinking about what's monetarily beneficial for them/her.

Don't get me wrong, I hate the mom. But this type of writing where insurance is what the mom benefits out of the FL has helped FL be written and developed in a different (better and more independent?) manner.

Now that I think about it, here's a wild theory:
ML's father (a high ranking politician) disapproved of their marriage and caused the "accident".
It's a bit of a cliche and as it happened 10 years back I don't think it could work but just putting this out here lol.

I think he was driving and then in a car accident with his wife that led to her dead. That's why Captain Jung asked if the father in law didn't resent him but father in law says he was a victim too. Captain Jung could've been the cop involved in that case or someone who worked in the father in law's team.
And ig the accident was never simply just an accident which could be the main story arc.

Psychopath diary was on my list for a long time. Seeing ur rec I went and watched the first ep. Imagine my surprise seeing Park Sung Hoon as the psychopath when I just binged The Glory while waiting for Queen of Tears lol.

Technically no. She met him when she was single. His dad proposed to marry her after she returned from her vacation where she met the son.

Alternate storyline: Ji Han finds out about the contract relationship when he sleeps over at Ah Jeong's. So he also finds out that his brother is gay. They have a falling out. Mid drama could've focused on Ji Han and Do Han understanding each other's povs. (Instead of all the loops they went in the middle part of the drama).
Then he accepts it and joins the team. Ji Han and Ah Jeong continue falling for each other but cannot express or hang out together because they have reporters tailing them and the siblings are trying their best to find their weaknesses.
Second conflict point could be for the siblings to find out about this arrangement and Do Han's secret and exposing them. And the whole grandpa plot (idk about this though, haven't watched the eps).

They do end up falling for each other but in ep 9 Ji Han says let's focus on ourselves and they go on a trip TT. There's so much going on, he doesn't even the truth about their arrangement and I expected Ah Jeong to come clean (that their wedding is fake) at least at that point. But the whole thing just felt very poorly done.
There were so many ways they could've tackled the issues and brought about conflict points but it really just fell apart.

Basic points that frustrated viewers were - him trying to steal his brother's fiance (this was something I could ignore) but it just kept adding up from here. They were spending time together in public when he's from a chaebol family and they KNOW that reporters and secretaries have been tailing them.

It's just a mess. The story is all over the place. Wasted potential for a well-written female lead because she starts out really good.
