When you fall in love with someone, those irritating habits become cherished traits!
But if they push you buttons then they are teaching you that you have these buttons to be pushed. So you can grow and mature and chill out a little bit. It's not like these irritating behaviors are red flags. On the contrary. Why wouldn't you love someone who makes you a better person?
It took me 10 episodes to realize the stabbing was a flash forward, not a flashback. Here, I've been waiting for Si Yeol to demonstrate his gumiho powers!
Eun Ho's vision (if what we saw is exactly how she saw it) did not clearly show that WS was the one fated to be…
Yes, but which time? She switched it around by kicking a soccer ball (car accident), and nine years later she literally swapped their fates with magic!
Please add a page for Jeong Kwan's newest cookery show, now on Netflix, 'The Philosopher's Kitchen' (2026). Fans of hers from 'Culinary Class Wars 2' should enjoy this. (Please also add CCW2 to this page.)
about the changing of fate hijinks: the 2nd ML got ML's fate as successful football star but if you remember earlier…
Thank you! This has been bothering me, too. Nine years before the wish the gumiho said Si Yeol was fated to poverty and U Seok was fated to success. She declined to mention at that time which one of them was fated to die from an aortic cardiac infarction.
The deity said that Si Yeol's fate was "to rise high, but burn out quickly" while WS's was to have a "long…
This line by the deity confuses me greatly. Because the men's fates switched more than once.
Originally, U Seok had the brighter future and Si Yeol was fated to poverty. It wasn't until after the gumiho kicked the soccer ball (auto collision, nine years prior to the wish) which caused the initial swap in their fates, placing Si Yeol on the trajectory towards success.
So had the gumiho never intervened at all, would Se Yeol live in poverty, unable to pay his soccer fees, and still die young of a heart attack?
Can someone please explain for those of us in the back row…
What exactly is the ploy with the old currency? I'm thinking that the money is no good, but why does O Deok Gyu believe it can still be exchanged for new currency at face value? (I get the part where they're using the laundered money to purchase shares of Hanmin. But why did they decide to exchange their checks for old currency in the first place?
Interesting view. I personally like when dramas have nore episodes, as along as it feels natural regarding the…
I can enjoy a slow burn, but I'm less invested when it seems like there is a different plot for the first 10 and major shifts for the back half—something I'd rather experience across two seasons. I can't say whether this drama fits that description. And I did enjoy the first two. It'll be in my dropped list forever, taunting me to come back & resume.
A bit emotional when Bang and Seo where laid-off, it's kinda personal to me because my company just made a huge…
In my experience, loyalty in business at the employee level rarely—if ever—pays off. I've heard many more stories of people getting laid off then hired back (at a higher salary). More often, loyal employees are easily overlooked at promotion time—the higher ups consider promotions as enticements to retain talent; something loyal employees do not seem to require. The managers can take them for granted with minimal risk of losing talent.
I admit this was too subtle for me. IMO the production/writer/editor/narrative should have hung a lantern on this key point.
