That's on par for a makjang. I'm not gonna dump him just yet, I do feel like he'll eventually go to her side and stick with her.

Yes, but Temptation of Wife and Temptation of an Angel too. I liked Penthouse S2, but S3 was UNNECESSARY!

Oh, the chef can definitely help, even though he (they?) seem like a neutral party lol. Nan-Suk's assistant (Secretary Gu, if I'm correct) could be swayed somehow.

I can't see Hye-Ra on JW's side, but Se-Hun should stay on her side. He probably will. Ha-Neul annoys me right now... Mi-Hyang is on her side... who else could ally with her?

Nah, the wife (MH) is completely on JW's side and willing to help her. The dad is irritating though.

I feel like SH is defending her enough? He hasn't divorced or left her yet.

What strategy do you suggest for JW to fight back? I feel she does need to lose a bit, since our villainess can't get wins all the time... I definitely feel like Dummy Dad will die, which will break her.

If this were a Kim Sun-Ok drama, the twists would've been insane. 😂

That's understandable!

But then it's not so predictable, you're just thinking of possibilities/theories then... no?

That's fair too. I can see him becoming obsessed with JW, or alternatively, them (SH + JW) becoming a sort of "villain couple"- I'd mentioned this before.

Right, right. You and I basically have the same opinion here. I think the drama probably will focus on JW and SH, they're far more interesting. I even find myself skipping JW/HN scenes now.

Exactly, SH is a far more interesting character. HN is *SUPPOSED* to be getting revenge for his father, but hasn't done a damn thing for that. HN is just... boring. Of course his acting is fine, but his character has nothing to do.

Oh okay, I see what you mean now! So it's more about the framing/presentation of the character rather than their actions/motivations? This I can agree with... I guess I should get started on this show. Like, I know that Ah-Jin is a sociopath because of her *past,* so obviously her trauma broke her (mentally.) Basically, a (slightly more) ruthless Ju Da-Hae from Queen of Ambition. Thank you for the explanation, makes things clearer now.

Though I think gender bias needs to be discussed more. It's a complex issue with multiple parts to blame, the audience, the writers, etc. Different outfit for a different day.

I do recommend the dramas I mentioned except for Escape of the Seven... it goes off a cliff really quickly. Lol

BINGO!

I feel like JW and SH are kinda the leads, if I'm being honest. I feel like they have more chemistry too! (Even if they ARE stepsiblings.) I'm rooting for them, and I'm happy I'm not the only one anymore... I hope SH finds out and still stays with JW after or doesn't care.

Tell me you expected the JW/YC secret to come out now. Did you? Noooo 😂 I still think it's a 50/50 chance, either one could happen to me tbh. He *could* cheat as much as he could *not* cheat. None of us know for sure lol

At this point, I'm gonna consider SH the ML and HN the 2nd ML. That's exactly the vibe I'm getting. HN is so self-righteous and annoying, I couldn't stand him from the first episode. Let JW do her thing and be villainous!

As far as I know, he wasn't cheating in Love To The End or Apgujeong Midnight Sun! (But he played supporting characters there, so...) His character is also much more serious here. This drama has been unpredictable so far, so it can easily subvert expectations. It's a 50/50 chance tbh! Lol

This is beyond messy! 😭

Glad I'm not the only one who dislikes Ha-Neul lol
