Its bcuz she is asking to stay in the house. Plus she is associated with their son who was a criminal so she might…
Allowing her to stay at their house just like that, is another incomprehensible thing of this drama. She came out of the blue claiming something that any sane person would doubt to start with and they simply allowed her to stay at their house. What if she is a murderer paid by a terrorist organization to kill the assembly man?! How and why did his security allow her to stay there? But anyway... even if they want to use this pregnancy for political reasons there are easier and safer ways to deal with her. Pay for her the accommodation at a hotel and the medical cost, keep an eye on her in order to make sure that she doesn't plot something and ask her to have a DNA test after delivering the child. If the child is indeed their son's child they can take it home along with the mother, if it's not arrest her for fraud.
Don't tell me that this is heartless and other such things, because she has already threaten them that she will reveal the whole story. So there is a hint of blackmail in her stance.
I'm now in the fifth episode and the whole story is completely stupid and generally speaking nothing is progressing in this drama other than the fact that there are secrets in the family, but not that interesting ones in order to make an interesting plot. The FL character looks timid and pitiful all the time, and makes me wonder why the ambitious assembly man would choose such a person as his wife. I can't also empathize with the persons that killed themselves up until now, because all of them were guilty of some very serious crimes. Their son was drinking heavily and was found with a dose of meth in his pocket, which suggests that he was probably dealing drugs, the med student was guilty for molka, the guy from the FL's past tried to rape her and so on.
Not to mention that those that they committed suicide have all the traits of people that don't give a fig about other people in order to feel guilty enough to kill themselves. I can't also see why those that they exposed these persons ought to feel guilty themselves and have any kind of morality crises. It is not that they drove any innocent persons to commit suicide.
What is the message that this drama is trying to pass? Don't expose the criminals because they will kill themselves? Or what?
I'm watching now the third episode and I don't really understand what are their concerns about the pregnant girl on regard of whose the baby she is carrying. She can have the baby and then do a DNA test on the baby and if the child is not their son's sue her for fraud. If she decides to abort it, then pay discretely the costs of the abortion. What exactly is their problem?
That story plot would have made sense if this drama took place at an era that there was no way to find out who the father is. Nowadays they don't even need the DNA of the biological father. Any relative's DNA sample does the job. Not to mention that they have already biological samples of the diseased father by the time that they got samples of his blood for the toxicology tests.
This is the most accurate review ( and title for a review) I've read for this drama. It is indeed tragicomic and I had a good laugh while I was watching the first episode. But Park Dong Ha is not exactly stupid. He is timid and naive and clumsy and desperate. And his wife doesn't help with her intimidating and demanding behavior his condition. I felt sorry for him for the way she devalued him with her behavior and words. She has some right in her turn of course, but... on the other hand.. she married him! She knew who he was after all! Anyway. This is a great drama for what it is and and a underated here on MDL.
How old was that Meng Chao when her father died 8 years ago. 15 or something?! He looks like he is in his early 20s and he said that he was working at the bridge construction site 8 years ago. How is that possible? Do they hire children to built the bridges in China? If that is the case then I'm not impressed that they collapse!!! looool
Yes but it was and it is not illegal for 17-18 year old minors to have affairs with older people. He is not a sex offender when the person that he had the relationship consented. He was never convicted for rape, or exploitation or anything else because the woman that he accused him admitted at the court that she was into this affair with him because she was after that role and she lied about her age. Don't bring into the discussions irrelevant examples. There is a huge difference between being 12 y.o and being 17 or 18 y.o. and I bet that you yourself started your personal life at this age. Most women at least in Western world countries start their personal life at that age, somewhere between 17-19 years old and most of them with older than them men. Not that much older but most of the times older than them and already adults by law, ( over the age of 18 in the Western style).
because he is very good in his trade. like other who got canceled he can still try to stand up and he did it again.
Even if that is the case she lied about her age and she was in a long term affair with him while she admitted at the court that she was in this affair with him because she was after a role.
That is the surreal of this case. That at the very end the court didn't convict him for the rape, or for her age, or for anything else, but convicted him because he promised her that role that they considered it as prostitution. They didn't convict her though, for staying into that affair for that long, not because she loved him or liked him as it is obvious, but because she wanted him to give her a role and when he didn't do it, he took him to the courts. In other words the court literally reward her for committing an act of prostitution and convicted him, like they were not together into this relationship. Why was HE the only one who did wrong and not she? And how his conviction made her a better person, a person that will not exploit her relationships for financial benefits?
I have read a lot about the case and I had a similar discussion bellow. He was never convicted for rape, let alone a child rape. He was convicted for promising to an 18 year old actress a role supposedly in order to have sex with him. The fact though is that he was for several months in this affair with this actress, who on top of that lied about her age that was marginally close to that of majority, which indicates that her intention was to use him more than he used her in order to advance her acting career.
Whatever is the case though he paid for this "crime", ( in quotes because the other part committed a crime too) and he was never a rapist or child rapist as I read so often in the comments.
The two factors that go for his defense is the fact that we are talking about a relationship and not just an one night stand or forced rape and that the actress was lying in all the duration of the affair about her age, not only to him but also to the production team.
because he is very good in his trade. like other who got canceled he can still try to stand up and he did it again.
And she gave him sex for several months with her will while she was lying about her age!
The fact that she lied about her age indicates that she knew that the affair with him wasn't exactly "all right" but she stayed in the affair either way and she kept on lying about her age hoping to get the role! And accused him for rape, exploitation, and prostitution and all about everything because she didn't eventually get that role.
I assume that if he arranged for her that role everything would have been alright... eh?
He was never jailed btw. Just fined because the court didn't convict him for rape, or child rape, or exploitation, or anything else.
Keep the names for your self. You are not in any position to call other women names just because you disagree in a discussion.
because he is very good in his trade. like other who got canceled he can still try to stand up and he did it again.
What sort of prostitution exist when two people have an affair? Did he paid her each month in order to be with him? The length of their relationship shows that she consented, she was in an affair with him with her own will, because she was well above the minimum age of consent. He didn't force her to be in an affair with him and she wasn't bellow the age of consent that in Korea ( another surreal thing) starts by the age of 13! In order to understand how surreal this whole story is, just think that if he asked her to marry him, she could do so without asking her parents. It is not that she would have needed the written permission of her parents in order to date him, have sex with him or marry him if their affair was that serious. On the other hand if she was 6-8 months older would that have had change anything on regard of her consent or their affair? From what I've read about the case and from any point of view being in an affair with him was her decision too. He told him that she was older and she dated him for several months and when she didn't get the role that she was after she accused him for rape, ( like he raped her for months or something), for exploitation and prostitution ( like he gave her a salary or something ) and for being in an affair with her though she was underage ( although she lied about her age). Excuse me but these are not the traits of a innocent, exploited victim. I'm not against women's rights but on the other hand women that behave this way harm more than we can imagine this cause, because they show how exploitative can be themselves.
Edit to Add... Anyway... whatever was their affair he was never convicted for rape let alone for child rape. And the conviction that got for prostitution is debatable, because he didn't paid her to be his girlfriend for several months and he didn't force her to offer sexual services to other men.
because he is very good in his trade. like other who got canceled he can still try to stand up and he did it again.
Aside the fact that he is a very good actor he was never convicted for rape, let alone child rape. He was convicted for having for a few months an affair with an 18 y.o woman and that because the age of majority in S. Korea is 19. If he had the same affair anywhere else she wouldn't be able to bring the matter of her age into a court. I've read a lot about this case and it looks like a classic case of revenge. She probably had an affair with him to get a role, dating him for months, and when she didn't get this role she accused him for all about everything. He claimed that she hadn't told him her real age and I personally believe this claim because I don't think that it would made that much of a difference for him to wait her a few more months to come into age. Anyway... the point is that he was never convicted for rape, 18 year olds are not children, a nobody can force anyone in any kind of long term relationship like the one that they had.
How both Yu Jin Woo and Cha Hyun Suk were able to play the game simultaneously on the beginning of this drama…
The creator of the game didn't give them access to the full version of the game and that is the reason why there was antagonism among the potential buyers, that they were antagonists either way and in a more personal manner. That is the reason why Yu Jin Woo was after the developer's (Jung Se Joo if I'm not mistaken the name) sister. She paid her to buy the rights of the game in absence of her brother. Technically she couldn't sell something that it wasn't hers to sell in the first place, but anyway...Let's say that she had the full version of the game and the codes to give him full access to her brother's server that was also rather impossible. But even if the potential buyers had been given access to Jung Se Joo's server to play the game, it would have been impossible for the tech guy in Seoul to follow Yu Jin Woo and Cha Hyun Suk progress into the game in real time. How could watch what the players were experiencing into somebody else's server with the dedicated equipment that the seller gave them in order to play? These were playing the game into some sort of intranet, not internet. On a local server not accessed on the www ( world wide web).
They didn't wear only contact lenses but they had earbuds too. So they could supposedly watch and listen to whatever the server transmitted to them, but locally. In Granada and not anywhere else.
Now the bug in the game wasn't that bad plot idea because the bug was either way in the original version of the game.
The problem in that series wasn't the fantasy part but the real life technical part that was depicted completely wrong.
You can make that that damn President was a cat with nine lives because at the end they shot him from all directions, even directly on the already broken armored windows of his limousine but he left the scene unharmed while all else got injured or died.. The final action scene was very good but over the top and it didn't make any sense either.

It could have been a very good movie but the end was over the top. Was that damn president a cat or something having 9 lives or what? I've end up wondering why nobody could kill him...lol
I can't help but notice that plenty of S.Korean celebrities after breaking up affairs or marriages with S. Korean partners, switch to relationships with non S.Korean people! There must be a very toxic culture and attitude around S. Korean celebrities' personal affairs and as soon as they realize this... that's it. They are over an out! lol Anyway... congratulations to the couple.
Now could someone explain to me why did she care about him and he cared about her? There was no story between them, they ate a couple of times in two three days that they stayed together they dealt with the gang that attacked her uncle ( she dealt with them ) and other than that they were two completely unrelated people. In fact she didn't have any particular reason to revenge the gang because she didn't like her uncle either way as she consider him responsible for the deaths of her parents and her sister. So they actually did to her a favor to kill him. He had more reasons to revenge the gang but he had no reason to go back and save her. Why did he go back to save her knowing that he wouldn't be able to deal with all of them? Aside the fact that the whole plot was completely generic, it didn't make any sense as well.
