I am already dreading her ex coming back. I just know him and his money hungry family is gonna show up at some point and I’m already annoyed by it. Also that actor has the face of an annoying character.

Her desperate actions are always linked to her mothers phone calls. She borrowed money from her hard working mother only for her to be divorced and scammed.

Just finished watching this drama and up to episode 10 the show was fairly light. I love food so I enjoyed all the cooking on the show. I will have to say the King wasn’t the smartest tool in the box. Why did he agree to the cooking competition with the Ming chefs knowing that guy would never be impartial. If you are looking for an amazing romantic story this ain’t it. The FL and ML have zero chemistry. I didn’t even think she liked him until she said so like in episode 10 or something. The ministers wanted to get rid of a violent king by signing up to be ruled by an even more violent power hungry man. The FL knowing the future didn’t even tell the king about the evil consort. Just all around useless lol. nonetheless it’s a fun mostly light watch. Please don’t expect some sort of grand romance or intelligent political show. This is a good watch for when you don’t want to be emotionally invested in a show and just kind of want something to watch that’s visually appealing.

Time travel is a complicated subject and almost always incredibly difficult to explain. The highlight of the story was the romance and the time travel was mearly a device to bring the couple together. That’s why in majority of Korean dramas they rarely ever explain how the main leads are able to travel. In Twinking Watermelon we don’t know how he was able to travel. Same with marry my husband, moon lovers, Mr queen etc… None of these dramas went into details on how they were able to travel but just had a few rules here and there they needed to follow. Even in Tunnel we had no idea how he was able to go to the future just by going into a tunnel. It’s not the time travel that’s necessarily important it’s the story we should be focusing on. It was easier to explain for example in My perfect stranger as it was not some mystical time travel but one based on technology.

you are not really suppose to care about the rules or the intricacies of the time travel tbh. It’s why the show never provided too many details outside of the watch and she can’t share information directly from the future. It was just a plot device to get the characters together. I think you are suppose to watch a cute story and not do too much thinking.

I enjoyed this drama a lot. Everyone just looked so expensive and attractive I was living for it. Now my girl crush on Zhao Lu Si has increased even more. She really is that girl. Beautiful and talented. I was a little sad that shen Hao wasn’t his biological son and I kind of hated that he wasn’t there at the end of the Episode. Feng Li was so gross omg. imagine wanting to be with your deceased sisters boyfriend. The sister was Arely in the ground and she was making plans to be with her man. so much so that instead of helping to raise her sisters child and depraving her parents of their grandchild she faked his paternity. She caused her sisters child so much pain just to be with a man that literally did not like her. Pretending to kill herself like what was wrong with her. I’m always shocked btw when rich families don’t run multiple test on the children. The mom is so specific so it’s hard to believe she didn’t double check. Nontheless it was a fun show that didn’t require too much brain cells. I like shows that I don’t need to think about.

I don’t think she’s unlikeable she’s just more pathetic and lacks self worth to me. I don’t believe she’s a serial liar she only lied so she could take advantage of the system. When people are scammed they usually resort to desperate measures. especially the guilt she feels cause it’s not even just her money but her hard working mother. I’m not gonna even front if an opportunity like that came to me where I won an expensive home I would move mountains. Especially in this economy. I can judge her for the trash husband she picked but I can judge her for trying to get this house. Mind you it was the company that was also cheating so…..

How do the FL’s always date/Marry the worst type of men in the first couple of episodes. Like that man had zero redeeming qualities how did she date him for 5 years? not to mention both his mother and sister are equally as disgusting. It’s one of the more unbelievable tropes especially when in later episodes that disgusting partner decides out of nowhere they want to get back with the FL/ML. That greedy family is for sure gonna try to come back later.

has someone taken you hostage and is forcing you to watch this? if you don’t like it don’t watch it.

I’m honestly gonna have to see him in another role to make a proper judgement of his acting. I just never felt anything with his character. just kind of there and very empty. it could be the script so I will need to see more of him to make a proper judgement.

I personally didn’t see any trauma bonding. We seen one flash back between him and the evil lady so it makes zero sense why he is so loyal to her. He seemed more like a mindless robot to me. We never really understood why he was the way he was even. I think characters like that require a backstory and an excellent actor.

the show was overall really interesting although I think it lost itself a little at the end. one thing about c-dramas and k-dramas is that it starts of really well but the story becomes crazy at the end. Dex’s character was really empty. He literally gave nothing. It seemed like he had a connection to the little girl but ultimately nothing came of it. The deep connection he has with the evil lady didn’t make any sense. The acting was very bad compared to how talented the rest of the actors were. They should have given the role to a real actor.

It’s kind of hard watching the actor that plays the priest knowing he took his own life recently. Korea losing all their talented entertainers to suicide is heart breaking. They really should reevaluate their society.

The kids have “parents” that are high profile. I hope at some point they decide to make videos and post them all over the internet. if everyone found out all these kids who were pronounced dead or missing were still alive it would cause massive attention. This makes killing then even harder.

Also my American instincts was really hoping she would take out those awful nurses lol. Also I did want those horrible bullies to die as well.

First episodes- The guy with the ankle monitor almost killed the police officer. How was he not arrested for attempted murder? He even verbally admitted to it. Also what’s the point of the ankle monitor if the criminal is allowed to live under his mother’s name? I understand there’s some sort of registry list but it clear the women’s guard was down cause he used a women’s name. The first mass shooter would have benefited from some noise canceling headphones. Why did they just have patrol officers dealing with a mass shooter with an automatic weapon. There was an arm criminal on the way to the police station why did the ML and the other cop just stay posted outside and not send a warning to other police officers? Like that made zero sense. Also the police had a list of addresses where the guns were sent. How was it not a priority to utilize every cop in the city to go door to door confiscating those guns. They literally waited until several massacres to go through the addresses. Also one thing I wanted to know is do Koreans gossip that loudly? The police officers daughter killing herself cause she lost her dad’s savings. I understand she felt guilty but damn now your dad has to bury you as well. Koreans just accept so much abuse it’s so mind boggling to me. I wish a co-worker would try to pass their work off to me I would laugh in their face. The story at the end got a bit ridiculous but it was a fun watch.

I thought this was a decent watch. Just like with the kdrama I feel like it was missing a little something and to me the leads of all the different versions just never have chemistry. This one even less than the Korean version. also this might be controversial but Japanese people just feel to polite for a revenge story. Yea the friend has a horrible life but she she tried to destroy the girls life for no reason. Why are you apologizing? all in all decent one time watch.

I’m really enjoying the story so much. The way I hate all those parents that I almost wish that the kids were down their practicing the whole time on how they were gonna get their revenge and had an amazing revenge plan. I would have loved to see pictures of all the parents on the wall and them getting their revenge one by one. I would have ate that up. I can’t wait to see how the story develops. it’s been two episodes and I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about Dex being in this show.

The moment I saw Si Woo smile I knew he was gonna be the one to make a mistake and bring the whole enterprise down. Poor kid. I’m surprised that no one is putting together that a bunch of kids from wealthy families keep disappearing.

I know that So Hang Gi is a decent person who seems to have turned his back to his families wealth and is currently trying to make it on his own. However, the article is about powerful people in society using their wealth and power to get their children into top schools. It happens in all elite schools where you have lots of often unqualified rich kids taking spots when they don’t deserve it. Although the comments were awful it’s mostly frustrations based on an unfair society. People are not judging them cause they happen to be born into a wealthy family it’s because their wealthy parents cut corners and paid their child’s way. so if you work hard to get into school and some rich kids parents cut a check and he was able to get in as well. I can see why someone would be upset by that.
