This series seriously glossed over the Baek family news empire. Who inherited and/or controlled it after Grandfather…
Omg no, the Baek family doesn't have a family empire like our normal CEOs they were family active in politics and have been a part of the presidential candidate for the upcoming election. It is the Hong family who has an empire that includes multiple news/media channels that’s why the arranged marriage was done to receive help to mend the Baek family's tainted reputation so that in the coming future they can stand in an election which is where the drama started.

As much as I have seen dramas and heard true crime, the presidential candidate often comes from a background in Law, like a prosecutors. We see Mrs.Baek was a negotiator and had worked in the field during her days. The grandfather who we didn’t know/see much is the one who made the Baek family eligible for the Presidential candidate. Mr. Baek (dad) said in the end episode that the presidential candidate Beak Jang Ho(grandpa) they knew and loved was a fake.

Now a surprising fun fact, in South Korea jobs that end with “sa” are on a higher social level. For example, people in law, like pansa (judge), geomsa (prosecutor), and byeonhosa (attorney/lawyer) are on top then comes Uisa (doctor) then the news anchors which is a very respectable Job in Korea and very preferred when it comes to marriages. Surprisingly companies Ceo’s come after this. Why I'm saying this ML chose to be a new anchor which is a respectable job for a family of politics he also worked as a negotiator like his adoptive mother and then he became a spokesperson in the current presidential office for which his father is standing in coming years so he is working for the current president

That's the huge reason it felt like the dialogue is not written for /delivered by the beak Sa-eon and Hong Hee-Joo we know from the start that poon of the story.

Also if they wrote the ending for him to get back to his old job of negotiator they should have persuaded that better than the Argan story.

I don't think anyone is justifying that everyone is talking about what a sh*t show that was, the people are only pointing out how the plot was present in the original novel and how the writer had liberty to change that but didn't come up with proper ending

Finally finished it and I f**king loved every minute of it.
I have watched so many amazing dramas in 2024; to name a few, whether it is QOT, LR, Miss Night and Day, JFTH, Light Shop, or even FBC I watched all as they were dropping 2 episodes a week. If I have to say this is the best one I will say YES! Without a doubt.
There was something in this drama that made me on edge and every week unbearable cause I could not just binge it in one go. Every week keep the interest alive like no other drama has done for me. Call it the chemistry, the direction, the screenplay, the story whatever everything came together so beautifully that I enjoyed every second of it. Of course except “Argan storyline” but then Sa-Eon took his shirt off and I wasn't complaining at all. Okay serious talk aside, the ending is also good with a few minutes of exceptions.
Am I still going to give 10/10, heck yeah, my 10 are saved for the drama that I can rewatch again and again without getting over them. A new obsession is here, well until Buried Heart is dropped, I mean I’ll see

I thought Argan was a country 🤣🤣
I checked that too mainly for that code, but the country code 604 is for British Colombia Canada and yes apparently Argan is a region in Morocco famous for its Argan oil production and Argan trees.

Yes, I'm stopping mid final ep to comment on this. The entire Argan story I am like “What the f**k I'm watching? What the h*ck, is this the same show? What happened?

They wasted 45 mins for this. They should have opted out of the Argan storyline and come up with something different. Not only that, but the entire dialogue during the Argan storyline also feels like it is not Baek Sa-eon and Hee Joo talkin'. They wrote this and thought that it was the best

1. Why did you stop just drive
2. Why people were saying they could be related. I means yes kdrama has a phase where step brother and sisters were the ml and fl and falling in love but am i the only one who thought what he said has something to do with Hee joo’s dad and the condition he is currently in.

(I don’t think she is his niece given the fact when hee joo was born they didn’t know the Baek family. Others sayin they might be connected through Sa-eon’s mom; maybe. I mean if they chose to go to incest route then i guess a lot of people gonna go crazy.)

Omg sweetie 😭😭😭This is so sad. Why does she blame herself and say such self-deprecating things? I'm sorry…
On the part of “i’m sorry for taking public resource”. I don't know how much you are familiar with chinese media; but media person when they are making any statement that sentence is default sentence like in korean media when they are making statement they post a black picture. But i agree her statement give very much an impression of self blame i think that is something she is working on as she is talking about how during all this time people on multiple occasion made her belief is is useless.

I believe every country has different statue of limitations. It used to be 15 years but was extended to 25 years in S. Korea but if I remember correctly around 2015 the statue of limitations was abolished for first degree murder. But for manslaughter the 25 year SOL is still the same

why in cast section hae ju surname is also mentioned as Na (same as yu ri )
Because Hong is from her adoptive family. Her biological father's name is Na Jin Cheol; so until her mother remarried she was Na Hee Joo and it became Hong-Hee Joo after the remarriage. In Korea the wife doesn't take the last name of their husband but the kids do.
