okay both are adults. As long as an actor can pull a role off they can play any characters they want. it is called acting for a reason.

Who said it was okay for her to cheat or that it was okay for her to lie? What people are saying is that they are not choosing to fixate on it because it’s not the main PLOT of the story but just a mere subplot. It is insane to demand accountability in just two episodes because that’s not how the story works. Sometimes cheaters get caught and sometimes they don’t. It’s just the reality of the world.

They are gonna take lots of L’s for sure. Hopefully now that they know the guy that they thought they killed is still alive they don’t have to be as nervous about their past. They should also come clean to the FL’s police officer’s husband cause he seems to be very observant anyways. it’s only a matter of time before he puts all that information together.

They only accounted for an actual killer coming in to finish the job. They never anticipated that the killer would hire an employee to threatened her. The problem is that they keep promising to keep everyone safe when in reality they don’t even know where the threat is coming from. They are going after an incredibly powerful organization that has people of all sectors working for them. The most the FL’s can do is investigate, take it to court. While the other side has an entire clean up crews. There’s a massive power imbalance. This would be an excellent case for the crew from taxi driver.

Getting caught cheating or hiding your cheating is always used as a method of tension and suspense in most movies & shows. It’s one thing for your husband to find out you are cheating but its a whole other story when it would be part of a public investigation. Famous attorney cheating on her police officer husband and the man she cheated with ends up murdered. Not to mention the possibility of her DNA being tied to what appears to be a previous crime. The possibility of getting caught cheating, it becoming public, the possibility of losing her career, perhaps she even suspected in the murder, she loses her marriage. I think the stakes are high enough for all that suspense and tension. Not to mention she was not actually moving like a lawyer when she found the body.

I think that might be your own personal interpretation tbh. In fact most of us thought it was just the kiss until she admitted to sleeping with him. The only thought I had was that she allowed her past relationship to impact her decision making and after that she had to do what cheaters always do. Lie, cover their foot steps etc…. not to mention she was panicked and do so sloppily. It’s for sure normal for people to want the spouse to find out about what their partner is doing behind their backs. It’s insane to demand that immediately though.

Oh that poor girl I had the feeling that she was gonna be killed and they used her sister to threaten her. As for the FL’s I’m so curious to find out what happened in 2005 that involves one of their DNA’s already being part of the system. Did they kill someone?? Now I’m curious about the prosecutor. He wanted the husband to know it was his wife that was there that night and he will probably eventually figure out the dna was switched. How much does the prosecutor know? it’s clear that the app people have their hands in every sector so even if that phone everyone is so obsessed over in the comments would have likely disappeared. All in all the story is getting interesting and I can’t wait to see everyone’s back story.

The summary above literally tells you that each one suffers from something different and some of them are even hiding from their past. You are the one that assumed that they would be presented as morally prestine. The audience watched a girl get beaten with a bat forgive us if we are not trying to hang the FL for cheating.

they didn’t move past the affair though. They already planted seeds of doubt in the husband when he found her jewelry at the crime scene. Plus they are gonna look into who made the call to the police in the coming episodes. It’s kind of insane to expect the writer to put the whole plot in just two episodes. It clear that things are gonna be slowly revealed as the episodes progress.

Got it. I guess I was trying to understand that statement he made to the ML that pretty much shaped how he behaves till today. At one point his mother is disappointed in him and as he walks away he whispers it’s the way to keep you safe.

Why did he kill the son of the concubine? kings kill of their family members all the time. Even if they can’t physically kill them they accuse them of treason and have them drink poison. Thats why I want to get a little more insight into the king so we understand what motivates him behind the seasons.

got it. do you remember the scene where he tells the prince how to keep his mother safe? he told him not to do anything. pretty much stay under the radar. That’s why he pretends to be a “useless” son. He might not be able to outright kill the princes mother I’m pretty sure he would be able to find some other reason to get rid of them both as other kings have done to their siblings. We know that he is impacted by his skin disease and probably by the death of his mother.

The king is such an interesting character that I really hope the story gives us more insight into him. There are so many contradictions in his actions. Why did he let his brother live but kill the concubine’s son? Why did he give advice on how to keep his brother’s mother alive? In some moments, he seems genuinely wise, like when he wanted to bring back the FL’s father because he understood that surrounding himself with nothing but yes-men isn’t healthy for a ruler.
At the same time, it’s hard to understand why he neglects the queen while allowing a clearly scheming concubine to stay so close to him. And why wasn’t he more suspicious of the minister telling him not to tell anyone what he saw? That’s suspicious behavior 101.
The fact that he was able to accept that the FL’s brother was innocent shows that he isn’t entirely evil, just incredibly complicated and difficult to read. Either he never killed the FL’s father at all, or he was so heavily drugged that he hallucinated the tiger.
The ML and FL standing on opposite sides at the end is going to be fascinating. I honestly understand both of their perspectives. The FL deeply cares about the world and sees the suffering caused by the king’s neglect, starving children, rampant disease, and the murder of her father on top of everything else. For the ML, though, that’s still his family, and he understands the devastating consequences of rebellion

yes! Who is the CEO now? It’s the evil dad right? Or is chairman a different title from CEO?

you guys i feel like the son of the CEO is still alive. Also everyone is getting so close so when they discover her identity it’s gonna be heart breaking for everyone. my girls are getting along so well.

Please point me to the post where I supposedly said I sympathized with her. I didn’t. My entire argument has consistently been that the characters are complicated, and that cheating, while wrong,is an unfortunate reality of life. That comment was directed at people who are fixating on the mere depiction of cheating in the show, not excusing it.
I also never brought up Marry My Husband, you did. You’re the one who asked what the difference was between this female lead cheating on her husband and the husband in Marry My Husband who was universally hated. My point was simple: not all cheaters are the same. No reasonable person would seriously equate these two characters, yet you did, and that says more about your argument than mine.
No one claimed her actions were good. They weren’t. Cheating was wrong. Tampering with evidence was wrong. That’s not in dispute. What is being discussed is the difference between characters who are layered and multifaceted versus characters who are outright villainous. The male lead in Marry My Husband was a straight-up villain, with no complexity or tragic backstory, just cruelty and selfishness.
You keep insisting that I’m excusing her behavior because she’s a woman, despite me repeatedly saying that I enjoy stories with morally complex characters of all genders. I watch and love shows full of characters who do terrible things: Suits, House, White Collar, The Mentalist, The Blacklist, Person of Interest, Lie to Me, Prison Break.
In Prison Break, the male lead knowingly helps release dangerous criminals, including a pedophile, for the sake of his family. That doesn’t make him “good”; it makes him complicated. And that’s the entire point. Complex characters do bad things without being reduced to one-dimensional villains.

At no point did this drama ever claim it takes place in a universe where everyone follows the law to the letter. I have no idea what the writers ultimately plan to do with the phone. I’m simply drawing from years of watching Korean dramas where lawyers go up against powerful interests. In those stories, the powerful often control multiple institutions and make evidence conveniently disappear. There’s no guarantee the phone would have even made it into police custody, especially when we’re dealing with an organization that clearly has a cleanup crew.
It’s also worth noting that taking the phone could have seriously complicated or damaged the case as well. Unlike you, I’m not making definitive claims about where the story must go. The narrative could unfold in many different ways, and I’m willing to watch and see where it leads before passing judgment.

Are you okay? You’re making extremely definitive claims when there have only been two episodes. Most people wait until they have more insight into the story and characters before declaring things so confidently. Yet in almost every post, you keep insisting that the show is “trying to force viewers to see the female leads as great,” which just isn’t supported by what’s actually been shown so far.
First, the claim that “lawyers don’t lose cases” is flat-out false, and you know it. Losing cases absolutely impacts both the lawyer and the client. That’s why law firms advertise their win records and why clients seek out lawyers with strong track records. Having a good lawyer matters. Saying otherwise completely ignores how the legal world actually works.
Second, the story is primarily about the case. The personal lives of the main leads are subplots. I genuinely don’t understand what you mean by the show “glorifying three adult women as superior protagonists.” I do agree that the lawyers should have done a better job confirming where the minor and the actor initially met. However, your claim that they “blamed the minor for lying” is inaccurate. They questioned her about why she lied and where the meeting actually took place because they were preparing for an appeal. That’s now the third time you’ve misrepresented something that happened in the plot.
You also keep implying that I blamed the minor, which I never did. All I said was that she lied to the lawyers. I never excused any of the female lead’s actions either. Cheating on her husband was wrong. Leaving after discovering the body was wrong and stupid. But people do stupid, irrational things all the time. That’s why I said these are complicated characters.
I also never said the reporter wasn’t capable of rape. What I said was that the female leads argued about it: one believed he wasn’t capable of it, while the other argued that anyone is capable of rape. As for whether he actually was a rapist, the show made it clear in the last episode that he was killed by the people behind the app, who forced the minor to hold the knife. At this point, I’m honestly not convinced you’re watching the show closely.
When people say things like “he wouldn’t hurt a fly,” that’s a very common human response based on personal experience. Your refusal to acknowledge nuance is wild. Believing that one bad action means someone is capable of every possible evil is just illogical. There are people with deeply conflicting morals. There are killers who would never harm a child but would kill dozens of adults. Human psychology isn’t binary.
Your examples about House also miss the mark. House was a morally repugnant person, misogynistic, racist, and cruel. In the real world, he would’ve been fired repeatedly. And yet, he was also capable of immense kindness and genuine connection with patients. He even had an affair with a married woman. Viewers tolerated all of this because he saved lives. He was a deeply contradictory, complicated character who made you feel conflicting things.
The same applies to The Mentalist. Patrick Jane constantly manipulated people, broke the law, betrayed his team, and pursued vengeance at all costs. He was morally inconsistent and often destructive, yet still capable of good. He’s another example of a “villain-type hero.”
If we followed your standard, where characters must be morally clean or consistently righteous, characters like House or Jane wouldn’t exist at all. Stories would be flatter, less human, and far less interesting

There’s pedos and abusers and all they can fixate on is cheating. There’s an app predators are using to buy women for their twisted fetishes and there in the comments talking about can you believe she cheating on her husband. Yea that was wrong but it’s life and people cheat all the time. Thats one of the most common tropes in kdramas.

You guys have a serious and deep obsession with having gender role conflicts on this app and projecting your personal issues onto others. You guys refuse to see the difference between cheating and abuse. In married my husband the ML was physically, financially, and emotionally abusing the FL to the point where he ultimately killed her. How can any intelligent person possibly compare that plot to this one? He was gleeful waiting for his wife to die so he could cash out on an insurance policy and even stopped paying her hospital bills. Now a person whose crime is cheating on their partner is in no way shape or form similar to that man. A person that cheats and is remorseful is better than a person that cheats gleefully. The problem is that you guys see everything as man and women, good and bad, black and white. No nuances what’s so ever. With the other FL that brought up her divorces she wasn’t even bragging. At this point I’m certain that y’all are not even properly engaging with the plot. She said it for two reasons. To discourage the new man that her mother was trying to force down her throat and to tell her mother that she was no longer going to play by her rules. The story made it clear that the mother controls her daughter and pushed for those two marriages and now she’s pushing for a third. She also wants her to become CEO of her company. There are plenty of ML’s that the audience are sympathetic to when their parents try to dictate their lives/marriages. It’s not a gender issues it’s parental “abuse” overbearing issue. We have millions of ML’s that are arrogant and no one is calling them predators or Narcissist as long as they are handsome and not abusive to others. Based in your reality we live in an unfair world that marginalizes men. I thought I was engaging with an honest person but it’s just someone that refuses to actually engage with the plot and just wants to victimize men. good bye.
