It's still called a criminal scheme if it's done to evade taxes. And where exactly that money came from originally if not from that bankrupt bank's misfortune? The villains were behind it.

Yea, I saw it, there's something about her and Bu-Yeon. Probably gonna be situation reversal where it's Naksu's og body now, but still with two souls inside - hers and Bu-Yeon's. The other small possibility is that Naksu's soul will die/gets separated and it's actually Bu-Yeon in her body. But that would really suck, Naksu is the FL we all know and love, not the barely known Bu-Yeon.

It was villains dirty money they've laundered through criminal schemes. I'd say the most legit owners could be that bankrupt bank's victims, they were the latest ones. Maybe they'll still be compensated in the end behind the scenes when that criminal family's assets get redistributed.

Why do people sacrifice so much to raise their children? Is it not to continue their legacy, to see that their children achieved a better life and became more successful than they could ever become themselves, to insure that in their senior years they are looked after?
I get that it puts pressure on children to keep themselves within standarts their parents put them in. But in the end, as you get older you start thinking about it from a different perspective, both as a parent and as a child. If there's real love in the family, like what was shown here with elder sisters, the child can never become a disappointment and nothing is asked in return - it's unconditional.

I was lurking here recently, looking for new pictures from the set. Nothing really interesting so far, sadly. But since they've finished filming maybe a new teaser soon is not too much to hope for?
However, I did laugh at showrunners weird and futile attempts at hiding GYJ's face in all the pics with emojis. Come on, everybody knows she's gonna be in AoS: LaS, why even bother? 🤦‍♂️😂

P.S. Btw, don't know about you guys, but as time passed I got over that unceremonious ditching of JSM's character and am looking forward the finale with GYJ (I hope she delivers!). I view this now as a dark comedy analogy akin to grand theft auto - it was stolen by a perp, used and abused, and after losing control crashed into the lake 🤣. I know, I know, not funny, #BuYeonDeservedBetter, but I'm sure her story is not over yet, considering her child actress will be present in LaS.

I mean, they put in those references and cameos from actors' other works - Hot Stove League, The Veil, Awaken. Haven't seen so many in a single drama. You can't help but wonder if it's not some sort of fan service tribute to NKM.
Personally, I'm not a fan of these types of inserts and inside jokes, because not everyone watched referenced works and just won't get the meaning behind them.

I think because he'd be investigated and found guilty in the end.

Whatever, she was there conveniently at the right place at the right time to get a piece of evidence. That's a single major, if contrived contribution her character made throughout the whole show. The rest is bs. Her family got the money for her surgery (and it still remains unclear whether it was a natural occurence or something the main villain did to her), they did everything they could to inform and keep her out of trouble she got herself into with that rich crazy family. But she wanted a rich and comfy life, she was very clear on that, which means her sincerity about Hyo Rin is debatable. Hyo Rin was basically her ticket to better life and she got it. To me she looks like a selfish calculating brat.

Because she's very ungrateful to her sisters, who'd do anything for her. This is not like the situation you describe about yourself. Her sisters loved her unconditionally.
Theirs was a tough lot given in life, but they did everything they could to soften it for her. But instead of being even remotely grateful she chose to put all the blame on them and run away to rich strangers. Good on her to get that rich comfy life she desired at the expense of her rich girl friend. But even at the end of the show those grateful thoughts she thought she never shared with her sisters. And that money they got wasn't from her, it was all ML's doing. So basically, she ditched her family and ran away.

Fan service drama?

He looks like a cow licked him, or like he wanted to make a one side horn 😂

Btw, does SK have different laws about what can be shown on live TV? That morbid murder footage without censorship was pure bs, imho. Furthermore, why do they always say real names of suspects and convict them of yet to be proven crimes in their kdrama media all the time?
Also, I was waiting in vain for the police to come after the main villain, but I guess since they went full makjang in the last episode they probably covered that up with classic "chaebols' unlimited corruption superpower" kind of trope behind the scenes 🙄

Not sure about that, but they're definitely very funny together.

The reporter sister and her simping childhood friend.
Also, I'm not sure what was going on between In Hye and Hyo Rin, but they successfully ran away together.

He may be the greenest flag out there to still give you trust issues trauma 🤣 . Good on FL to not follow him, he's too smart and unpredictable for her.

Yea, she was far from best girl, more like the worst.

She didn't do anything out of any altruistic motives though, did she? She just wanted a rich and comfy life away from either families and only cared about herself and her rich girl friend.

Just like simping Ha Jong Ho, I feel like her character wasn't contributing much to the plot in general. But there just had to be 3 sisters.

Yea, the hypocricy was glaring there, but right at that moment the show conveniently ended. That money should have been returned to that bankrupt bank's victims.
