This and First Man are the only ongoing dramas that I'm watching right now. I am SO happy that I've found an ongoing (non-daily) drama to get hooked onto! And it's very unique, so I love it too.

I have SO MANY thoughts right now. Between Jung-Won and Tae-Seop whooping ass together, Sang-Ah being bisexual (well, sapphic somehow), that INSANE TWIST at the end of the episode... goddamn! This drama went to good to "holy shit that was amazing!" for me!

Also, I see that my theories about Sang-Ah were mostly correct. Part of me does think that she's the chairman's illegitimate daughter, too. And as for Kwang-Jae's death... yeah, Sang-Ah did that shit and I'm on her side, completely. He deserved to die. BUT there's more to the story, for sure. Episode 3 was incredible, a lot of questions have been answered, and I'm officially hooked.

One more thing: The way some of y'all are talking about Sang-Ah vs, Tae-Seop is... interesting. So Tae-Seop essentially stalks her wherever she goes (she's keeping secrets, but so is HE), and it's cool and all, yippee, we root for him! But Sang-Ah being emotional (she CLEARLY has some sort of PTSD/trauma from being sex trafficked) and keeping secrets is... the worst thing ever? 🤨 Please help me understand. They're both pretty awful people to me. 💀 And I love it & hate it...

The reaction to Sang-Ah's involvement in Kwang-Jae's death also reminds me of the reaction to Min Seol-Ah's real killer in Penthouse. The way that people spent the entire rest of the show in complete denial- even after the author confirmed it- was both hilarious (and irritating) to see. 😭

And one last question: Who's the protagonist of this drama? Is it Tae-Seop? Sang-Ah? Both of them?

With all these hints that they're dropping, I do think that she did it, but yes, there's definitely more to the story.

Also, did Tae-Sup, like... not kill a guy in today's episode, too? 😭 In addition to basically stalking his wife and people are hyping him up?

EDIT: He TRIED TO. Still bad, though.

That scene they had in the car makes me think that, too. I don't think Yang-Mi knows...

She could've been imagining the murder and still done it... in the past. I do not think she's innocent at all in this drama.

Unnecessary

??? What does this even mean bro lmfao

You, Spirit, I like you 😈 lol I love a smart villain MC too. Like Baek Ki-Tae in Made In Korea!

I don't understand why some k-drama fans are so averse to FLs who aren't pushover sweethearts that act like 5 year olds... a morally grey FL is very unconventional. A villain one is even more fun! (But again I like villain protagonists, so... 💀)

I don't remember her in The Glory 🤔 but this seems like a performance issue (in the context of Climax.) I agree that her acting is very jarring (again, OTT) here. But directing plays a role too. She was the protagonist/FL in The Queen Who Crowns.

Cha Joo-Young was amazing in The Queen Who Crowns and as far as I've heard, she's a great actress. Her character here is supposed to be over-the-top, I think.

She is morally grey but she's not evil. There's nothing with her being morally grey, everyone in this drama is.

I do not remember that lol but I'm gonna give Fatal Promise a second chance in the future too!

I was watching Eve's Love on Asiaflix!

YES! Also Yoon So-Yi is a great actress too. On the topic of Angel's Revenge, from what you remember, was it good? I know it was one of the first KBS2 revenge dailies (after Ruby Ring?) 🤔 I left off on episode 20.

You're gonna LOVE Queen of Ambition (I hope...) and Return too! I wasn't too crazy about the ML in Return but the FL- keep an eye out for her (both versions of her character, but the 2nd one mainly.) 👀

He was a good guy in Band of Sisters!

The next dramas that aired after Snow White's Revenge/Scandal were major improvements, definitely.

K-dramas can be and are misogynistic as hell, but hairstyles have nothing to do with that lol

Also k-drama fans can be misogynistic too. Which is low-key what YOU'RE doing. 💀

If she were "too fat" y'all would have an issue with it too... 😂

The synopsis said that Dan-Hee and Jin-Ju/Chloe would work together... let's hope they team up to take down the villains. Fingers crossed...

You're welcome! There are definitely some missing details and it's confusing! But with this being a suspense/mystery-thriller & political drama, everything's gonna add up soon enough!

Precisely. All of the characters are one-dimensional, except for the FL, who HAS potential but is being held back for some bizarre reason. They can easily make her an anti-heroine. It's sad...
