The whole forbidden weapons plot element is just stupid. Who in his right mind would blame a weapons maker/inventor for the death caused by those weapons?
15 episodes in and I don't find any of the characters likable. They are all calculating and manipulative. Everything feels very transactional. I can somewhat understand that the sisters developed this trait as a survival mechanism. But I still wish there would be a bit more magnanimity.
It is still a watchable show though, if you enjoy scheming. :)
Currently rewatching this one. The premise is still great. But, good lord, I completely forgot how ridiculous the MLs are, yelling at the FL, dragging her around, casually kidnapping her. And she just goes along with it, as if it's the most normal thing in the world. Although, I guess it is somewhat typical for kdrama MLs of that time.
Just finished ep25 and I am somewhat frustrated. FL said that she'll leave to see other places. This sounded exciting. But she only went to her birthplace and will go back now. And then there is the ML, stuck to her like a friggin tick. There are very few scenes where she is without him around.
A somewhat weird power fantasy piece. Not only does the ML have the Jade Buddha Hand but he also has telekinesis? Because one can never be OP enough, right?
Is Sungho's teaming up with Jiseok to bring down Hyesung Group is to force Yeojin to stop those corporate raids?Then…
I don't get Sungho either. He seems to feel sorry for the collateral damage, but does nothing to stop or mitigate it. Why use someone with a personal grudge for his plan (whatever it is) in the first place?
Just finished it. And wow, it was so good. No saving the empire stuff. Just a woman surviving and thriving. I also like how the ML and FL are BFFs not lovers.
Childhood friends (and lovers) separated by circumstances reuniting again. And of course the ML only has eyes for FL and has been waiting for her all the time. It's starting to feel cheesy and trite.
I wonder if the jade business is really as shady as portrayed here, dominated by a bunch of gangsters.
Also at one point physician–patient privilege is violated without any consequences.

I hope it continues like that, won't get dramatic.
I've looked it up at the beginning of the show because I was skeptical about it. But there is indeed a drug called Luxturna, which costs $850,000.
