"I dissect words because words mean things. I try to choose my own with care" - do you? walk the talk cause given the way you're writing does not indicate so. There are better ways to disagree with someone without calling them derogatory terms.

Yes, if it is given beforehand it is definitely something you can avoid or delay untill all seasons are out.

But then there are times when series get cancelled, or there are some aspects that hint at seond season but you don't know (for ex: one of my fav dramas - Move to Heaven - it is complete, but then what was that ending)

I have seen him in student roles in Weak Class Hero and Twinkling Watermelon, therefore I was slightly taken aback and loving the refreshing new look he will have as the CEO. While I am just seeing it in pictures and reading about him being a CEO and it is a slight disconnect from how I have seen him previously but I know he'll pull it off given his talent is palapable as he showases a range of expressions/vibes in the previous dramas.

Also it has one of my favorite girl - the talented and beautiful actress: Moon Ga Young, so I know this would definitely be a fun watch - can't wait! ❤️

Absolutely agree with your point - on how dramas are getting shorter.
In fact, one of the major reasons for me to gravitate towards Asian dramas was the fact that they had one season, short episodes formula in comparison to western shows.

But then while I like how they are getting shorter - there are some exceptions. Sometimes OTT platforms play our heart/antiipation and give us short but multiple seasons, or give an open ending to keep a road open for future sequels. Personally it irks me a little bit cause it defeats the whole meaning and reason why I came to K-dramas in the first place.

Still, can't stop them - they also need to make moniesss

It has my favorite - Park Bo Young, so am going to watch it no matter what. I have not seen Our Beloved Summer, but see a lot of comments saying it is giving similar vibes - so that would be interesting, maybe this show will lead me to the other.

One thing tho - why is my man, Lee Jun Young, as a SML? Why oh Why? 😂
This guy needs more main roles - but still am always happy to see him, in whatever shape/form/role - so excited for this drama!

Still halfway through - but wanted to commend how nicely the creators have added in time stamps to differentiate the timeline as well as the cinematorgraphy: the different timelines have different tones, warm and cold as well.

This drama had been in my watchlist for very very long, and I have always also come across your review and upvoted it cause it was short and covered all points without giving anything away.

I really loved how you mentioned it is a reminder of World of Married + Signal, which are 2 of my favorite shows. In fact this kind of acted like a hint + the mention of "gaslighting" under themes in the MDL detail page. So as soon as the wife "apparently" jumped from the bridge and yet no one's body was found - I immediately knew that the wife is definitely one of the manipulators and Da Bin and she are alive. Poor Sung Rok's character!

I'm still watching it (on Ep 8) but thought to comment here and commend your review. Not sure if you'll read it cause it has been quite long since your posted your review.

No - cause I know you are very eager to jump and give clarification about everything yet fail to understand how your own words can impact other users on MDL. Was highlighting that but as before, you choose to see only what you like :)

This had been on my list for very long, and I am currently watching it. What prompted me to watch was my own interest for these themes of time-travel/mystery thriller/gaslighting etc + a short to the point review where it mentioned the drama being a mix of two of my fav dramas, World of the Married + Signal (Read here: https://mydramalist.com/profile/adamrahimi02/review/110035)

Therefore if you like such themes, or have seen the other dramas - you can definitely give it a try. While I am still mid-way in the show: the acting, suspense, pace and story is really great! Hope it helps :)

this had been on my watchlist for too long, finally picked this up in 2025. Still on Ep 8, though had understood way before what a manipulative B* the wife was. I hope Seo Do Gyun also realises it or is betrayed/killed by her in the end.

While this is in a fictional world - unfortunately there are such manipulative people in real life too, which is possibly making me more furious about Kang Hyun Chae + her great acting!

Oh yes - I remember your dissection in our earlier engagement.
Like you said "words mean things" - I hope you know it did so in your comment here: https://mydramalist.com/article/yoo-ah-in-sentenced-to-1-year-in-prison-taken-into-custody#comment-18689143

Glad you have your clarification on this one.

I LOVE IT! She deserves it and more!

while he always has sported a short hair look - why does this one still look different. In any case - he looks SO DAMNNN FINNEEEE

my little extreme was for public in general, no country - and then i said epecially in Korea. And because I have not followed all the news or research on this hence I did not use only the word "extreme"

But yes, rather than dissecting the words: both of us mean the same in terms of harsh reaction celebs face in face of scandals

Thank you for sharing -damn, SKJ looks so, so, so good. Jkj beautiful as always. Waiting to see this pair soon!

true - and while I also wish for them to all alive and happy in the end, seems like Ji Seok might follow the "you dig two graves when on a path of revenge"

But yes, lets see how it all pans out - I am a sucker for happy endings so hoping all the evil characters get a taste of their medicine and the rest live happily ever after

Omo - you just stole the words out of my mouth (head?)
I love Jin Ki joo - feel she is a very underrated actress (still) and yes, who can resist the handsome Seo Kang Joon (I have not seen many projects of his and while he is not the greatest but still good actor).

Plot sounds funny while reading the synopsis but then I'll believe in drama-logic and the cast and crew to make it happen.

I have not come across the teaser - can you share the link ?

I really hope so - but does not seem like, he geniunely seems to be into her still. She too, though I feel she can change given we have seen her be on the side where money is. Or maybe she will change and be with Ji Seok too.

Either - he will die/sacrifice himself for the greater good or something.
OR they will end up together - like Se Young will be banished from the Yoo household after the whole truth comes out and she will leave for US and ofc ji Seok will follow.

Honestly I'll prefer - if Se Seong leaves alone and starts a new honest life somewhere else, and Ji Seok remains with his family and also finds someone new.

But given the way the dramas usually go it looks like they'll end up together, Jin Goo and Ha Na are definitely not people who will hold grudges and rather wish them happiness. Meh but yeah

It will all conviniently come out at the time of succession or will being made :P
Either Myeong Ji/Se Young or even Ji Seok and Richard Han can reveal it at any point.

Basically at every point Ha Na will have more enemies than allies.

I am interested to see how her romance with ML bloom. Like how will they break off his engagement with Se Young and so on? Or will he just keep supporting Ha Na while being engaged with Se Young and ultimately when the final confrontation will happen and Se Young leave for US (and of course Ji Seok will follow) and Ha Na and Jin Goo will be together?

The questions and the anticipation is just too much!
