I didn't find much fault in FL, other than being married to work basically. An ambitious career woman who is good at what she does and takes pride in her job. And she didn't do anything bad in particular. That assistant though has soo many issues, it's a whole other topic.
The only thing I found inconsistent is FL's determination. She broke down very easily after that fake story. She worked her ass off for years, likely enduring through a lot of flak through her professional life. And to give up like that was kind of inconsistent. But I'm sure she'll get back on her feet in later episodes and kicks that bish's butt.

ML's character is a bit off here so far, I agree.

It sure looked that way. She has laid her cards bare to FL already - a sad loser with self-esteem problems being jealous of a successful person. She wants to become like FL, but she can't beat her with skill, so she settles for the next best thing - to steal from under her and ruin her life. Just a fcking bish, nothing else to say.

From what I've seen in SK bullying allegations are the most popular way to take a public person down. Haters and jealous people make up vague stories about allegedly being bullied years ago in school by a target person, or by target person's friends at that time and we rarely see that "me too"-ed person ever again. Never mind that later there are news about "victims" being taken down in court for lying or apologizing for false accusations, nobody cares about targeted person after a while. That's mob's nastiness for ya. Adoration is fake and fleeting, and people love to hate on somebody.

But it is realistic, happens all the time irl. For those who were wrongly "me too"-ed laws don't apply apparently - immediately guilty before being proven. And even if proof of innocence is found later the hard worked on image is ruined irrevocably anyway and in most cases they can kiss their careers goodbye. And all those lying, self promoting bishes who ruin people's lives just like that usually get off scott free, which is infuriating. But that's the crazy world we live in now.

Another drama that promotes countryside life clearly. Personally I like watching those, they are relaxing and a nice change of pace. But I hope it's not gonna turn into one of those depressing ones showing dying out towns with natives consisting mainly of elderly people.

As for the leads, I'd say that ML has anger management issues. His profession is not the root of it, it's chill af. Some deep seated dissatisfaction with his life in general more likely, not sure FL should be put to blame for it. And his acting looks rather exaggerated and not in a funny way.

FL is quite relatable though, I like her character. Awesome acting from SHS as well. Getting "me tooed" by a jealous bish with self-esteem issues who basically wanted to take her place in life is very annoying, but it happens left and right nowadays as well. I hope there will be a reckoning for her later. But those drinking scenes and staged "me too" aftermath were there to show how lonely FL is and that her obsession with work has replaced everything else in her life by the looks of it.

This one is so bad compared to Korean version 😅 . Especially the acting, bad makeup and overall feel of cheap quality. It's like television sketch parody. Couldn't watch more than 2 episodes. But if you've got nothing better to watch you can try it out just for the lulz.

Why is it in top upcoming shows now? Were there news about release date?

It's an Asian thing. If your kids are not studying in cram schools till 10PM every week day you're a bad, cheapskate parent and your kids will have no future prospects. That's how things are there. Insane pressure on the kids to be very competitive.

Why'd you have to hide your insults? Also, why get so passive aggressive over somebody not fawning over actors visuals and wanting a good drama overall? If you're their fan, keep it civil.

Normal woman reaction, the guy's body language and words were quite misleading. It was actually frustrating to watch because he won't tell her about who he is or what's going on. He was just leading her on for dramatic misunderstanding's sake.

They may have the visuals, but the rest is nothing special so far.

I still remember the epic funeral for the fish:

🤣
But I really hate all things makjang, lots of things in that drama were over the top, starting with TOP, if you know what I mean. Just made my blood boil from frustration.

How does it end? Happy or she dies anyway? Or something crappy like "it was all a dream" or something? Spoil me.

Somehow this drama got so predictable and boring that I'm skipping scenes now. Especially about that psycho dad, that plot just overstayed its welcome several episodes ago.
I want more about FL becoming a pop star, not about ML's family issues. And I'm afraid they're gonna rush it with two episodes left ☹️.

Everybody wants to murder FL for being successful and grandma's favorite 😭. This reminds me of CLOY, or Graceful Family but without makjang bs.
And most of it is fine, but needs more comedy. So far grandma is stealing all the comedic scenes.

Looks ok so far, but those last scenes with FL slowly running away from the killer who slowly chased her, then her getting into the car, then getting behind the barrier way closer to ML somehow and then falling weirdly into the water with washing up ashore somewhere miles away was way too extra and clumsily staged.

Other things of note was a budding feeling that they are trying to copy Goblin here or something. And FL's foster family house is the one so overused in so many dramas in the past few years it just bugs me every time I see it.

It didn't look like it was a special case though. More like common practice.
Also, using handwriting can make the writer easier to find, not harder.
Realistically, that bookstore owner should have had connections with printing houses and could have arranged printing anonymously.

Why are they copying books by hand? Widely popular woodblock printing was in Korea since 8th century and movable metal type since 13th. It's especially weird seeing that considering those books are supposedly very popular and everybody reads them.

I may give this a try at some point then.

What's the ending? Happy or sad? Spoil please.
