are even 100 eps drama even worth looking at? Makjang drama almost always bad right? but i did watch some that…
Eh. I personally grew up watching soap operas as a kid, plus my first k-drama was a daily drama (Unknown Woman) so I'm used to watching them. Also, not all daily dramas are necessarily makjangs, and not all makjangs are daily dramas. Some of the most popular k-dramas ever have been makjang dramas. But makjangs are my thing (most of them, anyway lol)
As unrealistic as they are, they DO reflect reality to an extent. Chaebol families are INSANE! And so are some Korean rich folks. 😂
WTF! Is this a copycat of “The First Man” (MBC, 2025)? Except here, the main characters are of the older generation.…
Twin swaps & revenge have been in a thing in makjang dramas for a long time... the oldest example I know is Resurrection (2005), which is a famous one with male identical twins. Wife Returns (2009) is the oldest daily I can think that did it with female identical twins, and the rich twin (she was CRAZYYYY) got revenge for the poor twin. Just another trope borrowed from the makjang playbook! 😂
That was a great first episode! I'm very curious to see how everything unfolds... but first:
This daily is INCREDIBLY cinematic. It doesn't even look like a daily drama, the quality is PEAK! As for Jung-Ran, I was hoping that she was more... menacing and scheming? But she just seems like a trashy idiot. I love Kim Hee-Jung but her overacting in these kinds of roles gets irritating QUICK. 💀 As for Jung-Ran's driver, I've hated every role that man has played in a daily drama, but let's see how it goes here...
Myung-Hee being a sugar baby to pay for Dan-Hee's cancer treatments (it was NOT heart disease) is a very interesting angle. 👀 Jung-Ran will definitely come after Myung-Hee, I wonder how she dies? Lots of questions. I wonder how Jin-Ju/Chloe plays a role in all of this. 🤔
Choi Jae-Sung is an INCREDIBLE actor, he made me hate Park Tae-Ho so quickly!
Finally watched the last episode last night. I actually liked the ending a lot. - Hyera giving up Kunhyang was…
I love Jung-Won! She was definitely a great FL to me! Nice recap. I loved Jung-Won and Young-Chae's dynamic too, especially when Jung-Won got her lick back during her villain era lol
I didn't mind Tae-Seok dying (I was so happy about it lmfao), but I'd definitely change how he died too!
Okay WAIT- Se-Hun and Young-Chae getting off scot-free makes a whole lot of sense now with that angle...
What subplot would you have introduced with Hye-Ra at the Kun-Hyang estate? I also wish the writer delved more into the pasts of the characters instead of the 10+ minute recaps. 🤔
Gun-Young irritates me! Also, why is a prosecutor doing police work? Isn't he supposed to be a lawyer, working at an office? 😂
Additionally, this should be tagged as "Villain Male Lead". Gi-Tae is NOT an anti-hero lol, he's a villain protagonist with (some) sympathetic traits.
An anti-hero - a person who does bad things, but for a good reason or turns out to be a good person. Usually morally grey. Prosecutor Jang is an anti-hero.
A villain protagonist - the protagonist is the villain. They do bad things for bad reasons, even if they have some redeeming qualities. Baek Gi-Tae is a villain protagonist, period.
An anti-villain - a person who does good things, but for a bad reason. They ARE the villain, but with morals.
Bad guys can be the protagonists, and good guys can be the antagonists, and vice versa (which is what 99% of k-drama fans are used to. No wonder why people didn't like this drama lol)
