She said she was going to come clean to the director so they wouldn't have the lie hanging over them anymore, so why is she still chilling in the house what seems like a week later? Coming clean would actually remove any leverage anyone wanted to use against them so what even is the point of this upcoming plot line?
We all knew the ex was going to find out and use it against her but since she said she was ready to face the consequences, why isn't she actually taking steps to do that? Like packing up her things... Looking for a new place... Anything really.
How are you gonna blame the kid when your son was the one driving the car and looking backwards??? Dude had his entire family in his car and couldn't keep his eyes on the road? ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
As for the doctor friend... It's obvious that this man doesn't think of her romantically. I need her to kindly move on and stop being so cringe. The ex can go jump in a lake or something with his mother and sister.
Finally, isn't this the mother of all childhood connections? They met as kids, we're each others "first love", AND probably had their dads murdered by the same dude! Holy coincidence, Batman! It's funny to me that the uncle hasn't changed his murder weapon of choice in forever. Still trusting in the steady hum of the white truck of death.
The most ridiculous thing about this show is the fact that the president-elect and his family have zero security and randoms can just come to her house whenever they like and roam about. 🤣🤣🤣
I think this is the first time that I'm watching a drama and I'm more invested in the villain's story than that of the leads. Credit to the actor cos I really feel all XJS' choices have been painful and against his wishes. He's not cartoonishly evil, or obviously crazy & delusional. He seems like a more refined version of the actor's character from TPR.
I've been struggling to connect with FSG especially - I don't know what it is or why I can't, but that's made his plot line almost meaningless to me. I don't get why he fell for FYX so quickly, and I don't really feel anything when he's onscreen. This is definitely a meeting thing, and I'm pushing through it lol.
Currently on ep 18 and the idiot sister did what was expected. Truly don't understand the trope of "you once looked in my direction so now I am madly in love with you" that these dramas use for 2nd female leads all the time. What do you mean you've betrayed your entire family and country for a random man????? Yikes.
When Xu Yan said she wants to be the source of her own happiness, I'm fully convinced a lot of viewers weren't paying attention lol.
I was actually annoyed when SHM showed up with the Russian guy's wife at the crucial moment when Xu Yan was negotiating with her suppliers. A lot of "she owes it all to her husband" vibes in these comments are the same as with those suppliers. No one was saying SHM owes everything to Xu Yan when she was moving in the background, building relationships with potential partners and getting them to look at her husband and give him their business.
Anyway, I can see they're trying to make us forget that he hasn't even apologised or reflected on the things he did and said to her, and I guess it's working for most of the audience. We'll see how the rest of it plays out.
Episodes 24 and 25 were complete filler. And what was that ending in 25? Did she really do that?? The person who…
The situation was caused by SHM's business rivals. Also, JL has been supporting that business against his sister's wishes from the start. He deserves the acknowledgement and gratitude. SHM helped them, sure, but it also helped him since the Russian wouldn't have partnered with him without Xu Yan. He can sit at a table quietly and let her honour her investor without sulking.
SHM declaring to anyone who'll listen that he's tried everything to get Xu Yan back, and not one of them has asked how he apologised or if he told her how he supposedly feels. Anytime he wants to approach her, it's through tricks and deception... Throwing money around, manipulating the people around her, inserting himself into her life without invitation... Everything BUT an honest moment with her where he acknowledges his wrongdoing and expresses what he claims to feel.
I can't stop feeling that his problem isn't that he lost the woman he loves, but rather just that he lost and he doesn't like losing. I'm seeing the direction they're going with this and honestly, it's not something I'm enjoying right now. Every scene with SHM makes me more irritated and that's really not what you want with your leading character.
I need someone to explain why Haoming acted the way he did in the period before Yan asked for a divorce - rejecting…
The other thing for me is, if he actually loved her, even if he thought she was a ruthless gold digger, he would've left a way back for himself because he would've deluded himself into thinking she might love him too. Instead he went full scorched earth, treated her like dirt, and now I'm supposed to find him monitoring her and blocking her attempts to be free as cute?
"I want to win her back but I don't know how"... my brother in Christ, have you even once considered simply apologising and showing that you know what you did wrong?
It really pissed off me i really really don't want them to end up together Even his secretary is telling him that…
Oh, that talk with the secretary almost sent me off the edge completely cos whut??????
Do you think SHM even remembers saying that from the moment he knew she was a fraud he could never love someone like her? Does he even understand how much he hurt her with the things he said AFTER the truth came out? I'm not inclined to believe he does cos they've never once shown him reflecting on his own actions, just fondly remembering all the things Xu Yan did for him and his family or thinking about how pretty she is.
When I see people saying they're now rooting for them to end up together I have to ask... WHY?
It's the fact that SHM's talking about getting her back when he has never even considered apologising for what he did. It's comedic how he's acting out n all, but him successfully delaying the divorce really put me off. I would've preferred if, to his shock, they agreed to process it and finalise their divorce. He still has not realised that he lost her because she's still tied to him and he can still call her his wife legally. Perhaps this was always meant to be a quirky romcom, but it didn't have those vibes in the beginning and now it's just pmo cos he acts like a brat who's not being allowed to play with his fave toy, rather than showing proper remorse. I don't think he truly understands the role he played or why what he did was wrong.
I also don't get how time passes cos she said she met JL a month ago but I could've sworn their cooling off period started before that meeting. Maybe I'm the one who's confused there.
Idk y'all... I'm starting to think there won't be a lot of grovelling and it's upsetting me and my homegirls.
But I enjoyed that they finally had probably their first real and honest conversation when he told her about his issues with his dad. I'm sure it had never occured to him to actually confide in her or lean on her emotionally before. Just imagine how powerful they could've been if they weren't both lying to each other from the start!
As a vertical drama watcher, I am highly suspicious of that paternity test. And if it is indeed fake, it was Fang…
Same! I smelled a rat as soon as he said she came back with the news *after* they broke up. And Fang Lei definitely faked it thinking he'd let her get closer to him because of Haochen. Maybe she was even the one who convinced her sister to scheme like that.
This was a thrilling ride. I had so much fun watching this and oh, Stella Young, they could never make me hate you. She went out like a boss, on her own terms. Was she thoroughly crazy and bloodthirsty? Yes, but she did it with such class!
I think we all knew San Ho was never going to see the inside of a prison cell, so the ending was exactly what I expected. I do want to see President Seo Mun Ju in another show, pretty please.
With each gift Hao Ming buys, the relationship is starting to feel more and more transactional. It feels a little darker each time and I just know he's going to throw all these things in her face one day.
Xu Yan is so weighed down with guilt, I don't think she even imagines that there could be any ulterior motive at play here, even when he lies right to her face.
Pure comedy from start to finish! I couldn't take anything seriously cos the show itself didn't take anything it did seriously 😂 I laughed through most of the final episode - it was so unserious. I like how they didn't even try to explain the mythology or anything.
My favourite part of the show was all the Joseon characters trying to pronounce modern words all through. Loved that little bit of consistency.
This lie is not sustainable and Xu Yan always looks like she's being cornered because of the house of cards she's…
And I must say, Hao Ming has been throwing up so many red flags but I gotta overlook them cos my girl's literally lying her way through this relationship. All the secrets will meet in a room and knock each other out eventually.
