I'm watching now, have less than 10 eps left and I'm thinking the same. Like at least kick the grandmother and granddaughter out of the business and house, they can't be trusted. I understand since they harmed the fanily them maybe they won't want to press charges (though they should), but at least get them out of here because they can't be trusted around BCW. Her dad seems to have learned his lesson not to scam, and he was just a pawn so I wouldn't send him back to jail for this. If he ever scams again though, jail! NR should've been smarter, he wanted to try to get into a rich family and scheme, he should know they try to blame the "little person" for their crimes everytime. The risk he took, smh. Meanwhile he could've just been happy that he got a decent job fresh out of jail, and could have used his looks to get a normal rich person to marry, if he wanted to be superficial like that.

Yeah, they definitely glorified her stalking unnecessarily. RH could have gotten a girlfriend in a healthier manner. It was goofy though, I chuckled sometimes.

Right! I was seeing people on reddit say they love and want more Naro and I'm like ugh, yall clearly jist like his face because he's a bad person. Not the worse, but not good at all.

They disliked their parents more than they liked money. Peace of mind is worth a lot more than fancy accommodations.

ep 84

I really like this kdrama but like all kdramas things are making me mad.

1. BCW was very annoying at first with her whoa is me I don't know my birth parents storyline. She has a loving family who cares about her. Lots of people run into money problems at some point, that's no reason to dump the people who raised you, especially when noone forced you to work. She chose to take that on, so if that's what you want to do, do it without regret because it makes you look bad to help someone and then complain, like there are strings attached to your generosity.

2. So grandma got rid of her granddaughter just because she doesn't like her dad? That's a high level of crazy. Also to be so rich and you didn't even at least buy her a building so they can have reliable housing while she takes care of your family member? Had she simply done that instead of giving the dad all this money to blow on bad deals, BCW and her adopted family would likely have had no big money issues and would have been comfortable living off the renters and whatever jobs the mom took on. Would have changed everything about BCW's petty bitterness.

3. I've never seen a kdrama of people so unbothered by blood ties before. They are usually so stuck on that nonsense. They included tropes like BCW having things in common with her parents or being drawn to them, but then the grandma couldn't care less about their blood relation and wants her out of the family and adopted the unrelated psycho SA as her only granddaughter. Very weird to see. Also both adoptive families seemed to really treat the kids like family and not burdens they regret taking in. I was glad to see it so plentiful here.

4. SA is mental, her mom has raised her poorly. She continues to do her a disservice by never holding her accountable which she expects. She has the nerve to act like her mom is being mean for letting the cops question her. You do criminal things younshould be treated as such, not let off just because you have a rich mom. That's how you know rich people rarely pay for their crimes yet are doing plenty of them and piinting the finger at poor people for actually suffering consequences for theirs (or just not being able to afford good lawyers). SA should have been put in a mental institution long before she committed the crime though, you can tell her mom knows she's mental but just doesn't want to have the family look bad for needing the psych ward. Also, the mom's "sickness" that made her unable to take care of BCW seems like it was at least partly post partum. She should have been given a therapist and maybe a mental hospital stay as well. Instead they just kept telling her to snap out of it and ignoring the issue. It would have been nice if they actually went into that as a story point and where they could have treated the issue instead of blaming her like she was just a slacker mother. I mean the dad or grandmother didn't bother to help with the baby, they just outsourced it to a young girl who had no kids. Trash!

5. How is it a company-risking scandal to find out that your legitimate child that you thought died, is actually alive and back in your life? People should congratulate them for the reunion, it's literally good news! They're acting like she had an outside baby.

6. All of these people as always could use therapy. They have crappy communication skills and some are bad at confrontation and just run away. I'm glad JH's parents at least got some, but jeez it took 30yrs of her being abused as a wife, so sad. But it's a start.

But I like this kdrama a lot. Noone was too evil, and the storylines didn't drag imo.

I'm on EP 79, finally thinking to finish it having stopped here when it was still airing to wait for the rest to come out so I can binge it but it's looking like people don't like the end so I'm scared lol.

I finished it now, it was good. I'll check out first man, but I wait til the end because I'm not good at cliffhangers.

I'm only on EP 75 but I was thinking there might be a twist like this and it always makes me think, see this is why you should treat people equally, especially your kids. If you go around treating your bio kids better than step kids or adopted kids that YOU chose to raise, what happens if it turns out that they actually are yours and you've been harming your own kid this whole time?? Harming any kid is disgusting to me, but that's what they get, the knowledge and having to live with the fact that you tormented your own child simply because you thought that they weren't yours. It's trash!

I'm here 2 yrs later and on EP 74. I agree with your points. My opinion is that 95% of kdramas aren't well written so I won't hold this one especially accountable since most of them aren't, I don't think they like smartly written dramas which is why they tend to be written so stupidly with the same dumb tropes. But about your point 4:

DY really is a doofus, it seems like he was coddled as the baby and boy child of the family and this doesn't have any skills and hasn't been forced to work. So he's late 20s and wants to be a rapper? He's Korean, he should have gotten himself into idol training, or get on 1 of the 75 different rap battle shows, or at the very least should definitely have his own YouTube channel going but instead all he does is sit around and waits for another rapping loser to call him out to have a private battle? Who even does that? Rap battles are in front of an audience I thought but those fools just meet in the park and rap at each other. Nonsense! It's funny though. I blame the parents for not making him be a functioning adult. And yeah idk what DR could see in him long term except for a good stay at home dad. I think he would learn how to take care of his child and wife we'll, he at least doesn't seem spoiled nor does he act like he's too good to do hard work. He just hasn't yet been required to.

5. So true that I was also think why haven't they revealed what Mari is so mad at JT for and what she blames him for because they really haven't told us much. And she is definitely crazy and abusive trying to keep him in this marriage to torture him and also torturing her son in the process because that's a toxic environment. They work with a bunch of psychiatrists yet don't think to get themselves some therapy or just discuss the issues themselves and work it out. They just go around being quietly mad and vindictive to each other (mainly Mari) for 30yrs!? Crazy.

6. I really hate how they make SJ react to things and decisions she makes. She's supposedly a famous psychiatrist yet she seems very not psychiatrist like when she's having a problem. Idk how she can justify letting her sister do all that stuff to her and not reveal the truth, and diagnose her mental problem (because her sister definitely has a major one and needs treatment stat). It is ridiculous. Then finding out about her mom and refuses to listen to reason. Like of she wants to just blame her to blame her fine, but don't try to make her into a bad person just because you don't like your upbringing. Things happen. She let the movie star off the hook for being separated with her daughter but wanted to be ridiculous when it came to her own. Yes she came around pretty quickly but still. A psychiatrist should know better than to act like that at all. She should be better at using her words, if you need time say that. If you don't want to talk now say that, even if you're mad, but she acted like a mediocre regular uneducated bum in that instance. Even with breaking up with Uri, shouldn't psychiatrists be better at communicating, discussing feelings, problem solving? She just comes to her own decision and is done and avoidant. She needs to stick by him because he's the only one doing the psych work here.

As for the uncle and teacher, it is a dumb storyline. Idk why he and the mom can't just get together now as 2 consenting adults. Why play with this lady's feelings when he's not that into her? I just feel like Korean rules make things harder than they need to be. Who cares if someone marries their adopted sibling that they didn't even know about, and who cares if the uncle wants to marry an older mother of 3, let the people be happy and mind your own business if they're not harming anyone. I would even say who cares if a sister marries her sister's former fiance, except we all know that NY plotted that mess because she's obsessed and needs to be locked in a mental institution.

I guess what I'm saying is, this show where the main characters are psychiatrists, needs all the characters to seek regular therapy stat! And allow smart writing for once, jeez!

I'm only on EP 52 but just like they seem to be promoting adoption, I wish they would promote people getting therapy. The fl's ex and his parents and her sister need major therapy. I'd say the sister shouldndo a stay in an institution. The 2 leads are psychiatrists but so many people around them clearly need to see one. Including the FL with her issue of letting her sister walk all over her and feelings about her mom who "left" her.

I agree, ml was jumping to all kinds of dumb conclusions at first. I'm glad that didn't last long.

That would have been way more interesting because how often does a regular person go from a 9 - 5, to small business owner, to big corporation owner without finding out that they're a cheobol child or some other "lottery" situation.

Literally, grandma died for no reason. Like seriously, families live for decades and decades without a death, life's normal ups and downs are drama enough if you're a half decent creative storyteller. So lazy.

Just finished and I'm so confused as to how we got here. Like what was the point of the last transplant issue coming up? Can we not just have a normal family drama where people have everyday ups and downs and learn everyday life lessons to become better people? Did we need a random and unlikely tragedy occuring at the end just to make a "miracle" happen in order for things to become resolved? Like what was the point?

The drama was so good and I was ready to add it as one of my favs to rewatch in the future, then the writers suddenly decided to ruin it with weird nonsense. Lol, I feel like someone must've challenged the writer in some way, and they were like 'challenge accepted'. Oh well, it was cool for 2/3rds which is better than a lot of others.

That's exactly what I said. You just got diagnosed with a heart condition and so you eat a caffeinated candy? Y'all been eating too many of those things as it's, that probably caused it!

I'm on EP 16, just got the transformation of the female lead and wow! How did they do that? Her face was kinda awkwardly puffy before which used to make me think 'are those fillers or what?' But now the transformation has her face so snatched that I'm like is this a facelift or camera filter because I need that! Of course her makeup is much better, but her face looks so tight and nice now I wonder how they did that? Maybe it was prosthetics in the earlier EPS, any beauty experts understand what I mean? Anyway, love the show so far.

I said the same about HN's hair, like ok I see the half comb back now!

Yeah the lady's secretary seems to work on the sly for her hubby. I think they'll get some redemption bcz evil dad has been threatening to off them or family forcing them to comply.

SH is an embarrassment. Which is why his dad didn't pick him, raised a whining entitled do nothing. Like I literally was trying to think of when I've seen him work this whole show. He's only had meetings with the family and chased around JW, oh and drink dates. I was wondering how JW still liked him after having moved in with him and see that he only always throws tantrums and does nothing else. Meanwhile HN was there as an unjudgmental ear, and helping her with everything she was running around doing, and even upping his game to better support her and now he's VP. I don't want him to get all murder bcz that's cliche and also pathetic, bcz the best you can do is off your opponents? You're a loser! But then that's what his wife YC does basically, but a little less extreme with the theft and sabotage. I wouldn't put it past her though with how jealous she is of people with actual skills.

That's what I understood, she wants to make it seem like they aren't good so the dad doesn't try to off her. But with that, why not like 20 EPS ago did they not put it together that the dad is the worst one who orchestrated all jw's troubles basically trying to get his woman. He's a loon.

He's literally the best character. The rest need lots of therapy and or jail time.

Her mom does all the work for her. Which isn't work, it's crime, but Yc does it stupidly and poorly everytimt so her mom has to use money and power to clean it up.
