Seems like it, yes.

Wow... I'm wondering if I should be surprised, jagiya? Hmm. He seems he'll be the true final boss.

There's a reason why the secretary is like that. It's explained later on, she's not a true villain.

Did you like that *ONE* twist regarding Matthew? I loved Ra-Hee/La-Hee too... and Do-Hyuk. I might try to rewatch it because I hated it after like episode 12 lol

So DS isn't the final boss anymore? It's Sun-Jae? Of course... 🙄

Lots of grey characters... I guess that's the best perk of this drama lol

I understand the secretary's case now (and I feel REALLY bad for her), same with the lawyer. Hwa-Jin surprised me a bit, since her being Min-Chul's daughter was somewhat unexpected. It may not be AS complicated now, but the first 4 episodes were a damn headache.

I'm watching episode 8 now, and I can say that I am enjoying this show much more, thanks to your motivation. I'm getting really invested and it seems like Su-Yeon is gonna be the final boss in all this! I can't believe I'm seeing Eugene play a full-on villain! (Even if SY was trying to protect her husband to an extent, I fully believe she was behind that fire.) This is SO exciting!!!

Resurrection is another twin makjang-ish drama, it's not a daily though. And so is Queen/King of Ambition with the ML!

Wait you're up to the swap plot already?! I freakin' love Yoo-Kyung! It's become one of my fave Korean names in general lol

I wonder if Young-Chae will redeem herself while Jung-Won becomes more evil! It'll be so interesting to see...

Could be because Tae-Seok betrayed him somehow. Or Chairwoman Gong's husband found out about something horrible Tae-Seok did.

Hold up, so Tae-Seok DID kill HN's dad?

Also, I can tell that I'm gonna need a break from this show for now lol

If you ignore the ML it was a good drama. (At least... I did lol)

Personally I like unpredictability (and yes, I agree with that last part), and I like makjangs, political dramas, all that stuff. But the pacing *IS* off and that's my main complaint. We've gotten NO answers for anything or any major reveal so far and we are on episode 8. Last third of the drama. This is not a good sign, but maybe it'll all pay off if nothing's rushed at the end.

I love the actors, acting (like I always say, Eugene is KILLING IT), and directing, though.

Even so, most of the family dramas don't get as "dark" as revenge dramas. It's usually a side plot lol or just temporary.

I liked that Cinderella Game (Splinter Ahjussi aside) had a nice combo of both.

I think there are 2 "types" of daily/100+ ep dramas:

1. Family/sitcom dramas. Has most makjang tropes with the FL "overcoming" her struggles. If I'm being honest, these usually make me cringe because I don't find them funny. But I've seen a few/checked them out. Sunny Again Tomorrow was good.
2. Revenge/betrayal/picaresque dramas. Most makjang tropes exist here. Usually darker in tone, with deaths, betrayals, affairs, family, power struggles, and of course, revenge. These are the ones *I* like. Most of my completely daily dramas are of this type.

Actually this new drama is most similar to: Good For You (Ha Hee-Ra played twins here), The Promise (LEGENDARY), and Wife Returns (I'm loving this one right now!)

I don't think the president-elect did it. The only other option is Chairman Yang, but we've certainly seen Su-Yeon have a ruthless streak. She's definitely capable of evil to me... I guess we'll have to see though, lol

I think it's because the pacing & storytelling are all over the place, it's SO hard to follow. No one knows what's going on. I like this drama but I've spent most of it being confused... not a good thing unless they start revealing more quickly! (My personal rating is now at 7.5 from a 9.0...)

Completely agree! I guess pretty directing doesn't always guarantee good writing/plot... 💀

I kinda like her too, tbh! So I hope this theory is true.
