Looked like a total psychotic episode. She seems to have lost total touch with reality and now just blames everything that happens to RYC. Actress Mabel Yuan is serving it though - quite the performance.

Oh no, BLL mother...in ep. 24. I hope it is not what I think it is. She doesn't deserve such a daughter who apparently is just rotten to the core and blames everyone for her problems.

Yes finished that as well. Glad she is finding gigs. I know she has had health problems, think it was meds she took for depression that caused her to gain weight and C-drama industry favors toothpick girls so I am glad she has found a niche to shine in. She is a very good actress.

I was wondering about Climax. Will check it out. Thx for mentioning it.

Same here! Funny how I am rewatching The Double and Her Blaze at the same time. I really enjoy both as well. I also started out watching POJ first but after a few episodes, it didn't really capture my attention to make me want to keep watching. The leads are good looking, esp the ML but neither of them have that extra spark to really pull me in. I was thinking of giving that a rest and then maybe give it another try but based on your comments, I probably will pass. The are other K-dramas that are keeping me entertained.

Totally agree. The bad guys are amazing actors as well, esp Ning Li - he is chilling in being so sociopathic. I am afraid of his character and would not want to, as he said, go against someone like him. I am looking forward now to how Yuci gets back at the LiangLiang, Gramma Bai and DongChao. I hope none of her family or friends get hurt though.

I think I know why he said her picture looked like a Southeast Asian - the hair. It's wild and looks like a farmer, not a scholar. So yeah stereotyping here - he probably was not even conscious of it at the time he mentioned it. So it probably wasn't intentional. But it is unfortunate. He should have just owned it and apologized - end of story. Calling it a misunderstanding is kinda lame and disingenuous...and frankly makes it worse because now he is assuming his SEA fans are stupid as well. I am dropping Pursuit of whatever. Neither actors impress me in RL.

Racism in one culture doesn't negate racism in another culture.

So far great drama. The ML (Gao Xiang) is really worming his way into my heart and I imagine into FWZ's heart as well. He's so likable and charismatic. I hope they do end up together even if this drama is not romance focused. I am trying to check out this actor's other dramas. He's better than a lot of idol actors out there TBH.

You obviously didn't watch the latest episodes where she tricked them and got them to return home without a cent. Seems like her nephew and niece are quite honorable. It is a realistic depiction of chinese culture especially of guan-xi and obligations between families. I have had to sit through lectures from random relatives I barely know and be respectful in spite of wanting to tell them to get the f off. So unless you are Chinese, you would not really understand the nuance here.

I agree but I think it's a matter of 1) potentially miscasted actor for the role - I feel he can't decide how to portray the character's motivation - he's like wanting to be this guy who lost his sister, then a guy who wants takes down all the bad guys then he's a psycho dude. 2) the director not giving enough background to this character to make us believe his motivation. They glossed too lightly over his attempts to get justice for his sister which would have led to his creating such a destructive app. Just revenge for a sister he had never grew up with isn't enough motivation to go to such lengths for revenge. Also - the director/script-writer made him into this kind of omnipotent being just because he's a tech dude. I've noticed K and C drama romanticize the tech CEO. Reality is so far from the truth here and I know since I work in Silicon Valley LOL. No hot tech guys - everyone is an average, super stressed employee worried about AI taking over their job.

Yup the war on Iran by Trump is a classic Wag the Dog move. Not fooling anyone with an IQ above 100.

I know a lot of people hate her short hair style but she had a very cropped look in the Price of Confession and I thought she still looked stunning. In fact, not having the hair in the way, her features really stood out and I realized what a natural beauty she is.

Wow - what a wonderful drama! PSH knocks it out of the park with this one. Forget the other MLs - I want her next ML to be Kim Won Hae - they are hilarious playing off each other. Every time I see him in the script, I have a big smile on my face. The man is a comedic genius. I've rewatched The Judge from Hell and am now rewatching Dr Slump. She does pick really good scripts. And such an amazing presence on screen too. This was overall just the type of feel good drama so much needed especially in a world of wars and things just falling apart (if you live in the US, you know) and AI fear hype taking all our jobs. I kinda wish I was back in the 90s too. Life seemed more innocent then.

This is a very interesting and complex drama where everyone is complicit in something. Outside of the 3 women lawyers and the girl who was a victim, not sure who is trustworthy because everyone except for the detective husband, seems to be Connect-ed. Pun intended.

Wish they'd chosen a hostess who was less skeletal - she doesn't look at all like she enjoys bread. Watching her jutting collarbone and emaciated arms makes me cring - especially as I am watching a bread making contest where food is the main focus here.

He is just the best - I adore this actor. He's got such great comedic timing and is an awesome actor able to go from extremely serious to hilarious in a single scene. And underneath all that, you can sense he's just very self deprecating and having the time of his life. In a lot of BTS, I also notice that even the leads in the dramas he's in respect him a lot as a veteran in the field. Every time I see him in the cast, I look forward to the scenes he's in.

How is Bloody Flower. That one seems even darker than this drama. A ML serial killer right?

Yuk I hope the plot doesn't go there.

Thanks. Yeah I am not sure how the friend is the same as current day prosecutor. But Ra Yeong's reaction when he delivered the flowers made it seem like she just saw someone rise from the dead. Maybe he got new name and worked his way back somehow into law? And a morbid thought just occurred to me - I wonder if the detective husband is going to die. It seems there is going to be some karma payback somehow from her cheating. Just not sure how it will be played out.
