not even halfway through the show and yet soooo many characters have figured out or revealed nearly all the secrets. The only thing left to "reveal" is Hye Won's abortion and that Kang Tae's dad ended up with Eun Dong's father's heart. In the grand scheme of things, not much left to "reveal" for a shock factor to anyone that would last 60 more episodes. So, I wonder what off the wall stuff is going to happen to keep this melodrama engine fueled. *hmmmm*

the only thing that worries me about this show at this point is the pacing. We're not even to the halfway point and... [check spoiler below]

I really hope that isn't the case as well. I'll be super disappointed.

the ML looking like a teenager is a slight issue for me too HA. Ah well, still really enjoying it for sure :)

this sounds very very similar to a mix between "Temptation of Wife" & "I Have a Lover".

looking forward to this one!!!

usually if a show isn't woking another problem (for me) is the FL. But, here, the problem most definitely isn't the awesome FL. It's the ML. I don't feel his emotions at all. Not anger. Not revenge. Not love. Not passion. Nothing. I guess even if the plot were better, I still would be a bit disappointed because of this issue. An entirely revenge-driven plot needs a ML who is passionate about his revenge. Right?

on episode 14 now and am kind of "over it" already :/ I'm going to watch to see the ending but the "romance" is definitely a major back burner here in my opinion. The ML has more action with all the other women rather than the FL. Revenge and Mystery are the MAIN plot points here and even those are starting to wear thin to keep carrying the show further. Honestly, I don't see how they can continue for so many more episodes/hours of film time. Nothing plot-wise will be interesting enough to carry the show forward and not just on into "meh" territory.

really enjoying this one with such a strong FL!

correct. + the time is off. That child was already a baby when the FL went to prison but Hye-Won very was newly pregnant at that time so the timeline doesn't make sense. The baby the FL was taking care of would have been closer to 2 years old by the time Hye Won gave birth. She definitely had an abortion. Also it is why she's so devastated. Because of that decision she now is under fire by her mother & in-laws for not being able to get pregnant with this asshat's baby. She said "she always thought she could just get pregnant again later".

what the previous posters said is correct. That boy is the adopted brother of the FL. Her dad was a priest or studying to be? a priest previously and tended toward helping people/children and Eun-Chan is a baby he brought into his home who was abandoned.

LOL. Right? though to be fair... Joon Hyuk is a twat and his personality can push people wayyy past their limits, right?

had to do a LOT of skipping from episodes 12-21 unfortunately. Really enjoyed it up until that point before it painfully drug out. Such a great plot, characters, and acting though.

On ep 6 and nearly spit cheerios all over my laptop at the "car window singing scene"! The FL & ML have an awesome chemistry together as well. SO funny.

kind of hard to watch as the ML is a real twat even up to ep 6. Six long hours of him being a real ass. I usually jerk leads but there has to be some warmth, some hesitation, but, this guy...

you sound like me. Love Better than Immortality was only ok. I also enjoyed OMEmperor season 1 but skipped through all of season 2 because I it got boring and repetitive. I'm really enjoying this one a lot though. Very well done. Hope it continues on at the same pace! :)

they definitely do. I think Zhao Lu Si is brilliant in this role!

I rarely enjoy "historical romcoms". I like my historicals more on the serious side, BUT this show is such a breath of fresh air so far. Story is unfolding at a nice clip and nothing at all is "skippable". All the characters are wonderful and well thought out. I'm super pleasantly surprised by this show so far. Particularly how the male-female role reversal in the fictional city here is brilliantly done. Not just for comedic effect but to show how ridiculous gender based societal expectations are. Most especially in regards to women. #LOVEit
