My narrative weaves together the glittering illusion of K-pop, the entrenched power of chaebols, and the selective…
wow. I am deeply moved. I always buy Samsung bc that is my way of paying back for kdramas :) but I didnt know that Samsung workers were so mistreated. So which S Korean companies should we support these days?
To me, GS's conduct at the very beginning of Episode 46 was infuriating. Absolutely refusing to listen to DS's…
HE demonstrated how it is done when you care for someone - she asked him to keep it a secret and he immediately went home and told the grandkids. No secrets if you care for someone. The root problem is that GS does not care for DS. He is just ... an old man who bails her out of trouble
Ep 46 has some real stuff and lots of superficial stuff. After ep 45 I am bored with this series now. It is so .... diluted. It has been for too long. So the drama is boring. That 1 hr drags too long now because there is absolutely NO MOVEMENT. There is no real substance. Nobody is changing and growing. CEO Ma is so ... blah towards the Chairman, he is NOT her darling whatsover, She treats him as someone she HAS to be nice to when he calls because she doesnt want to piss him off, but she has NO intentions whatsover of calling him first, etc. She is just not even remotely liking him. And he is totally impotent. They feel like an older sugar daddy and his younger mistress who cannot stand him but takes his favors with a fake smile. The fact that she wants to sign things without even talking with him first, the fact that she never shared with him what's going on in her life, means he is 100% NOT in her life. He is just a NUISANCE to her unless she needs his help.
Professor and Se Ri too... feel like student and professor. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING romantic between them. Someone used the word "awkward" and that's exactly how it feels. She cannot act and he cannot act, both of them behave as if they just swallowed a frog and are gagging in disgust. What's their problem, they look like a pair of people who cannot stand each other and are stuck in some lame tv show where they hate each other so much that they cannot even force themselves to ACT. What is their problem really? They look like two people who told each other how ugly and full of warts the other person is, and now cannot evan shake hands or be in the same room. Disgusting and UNPROFESSIONAL. *** ACT *** you are paid for it!!!! Dancer is a terrible actor, honestly. He is a good dancer though and his coreo was fun! I am a dancer so I wont let you belittle a fellow dancer, he is fine! Washing down the spunky hairdresser to look like the average Ms. Kim is just ... boring. I am sorry that so many ppl shoot down their plot but their plot isnt developed well. it has potential though.
Couples should never let 3rd parties interfere in their relationship. I don't care if it's father, mother, sister,…
EXACTLY. I agree 100% with you. Forget what Zango is saying. What he is saying is super dangerous because it is POLITICS, not a relationship, and everything can go wrong
It is the art of strategic silence—and Gwang-sook is playing it like a seasoned tactician.Telling DS everything…
I disagree. I think that GS has to tell DS and consult him before she signs anything. The way the scene went, GS was going to sign it right there on the spot. THat is ... stupid. What bothers me is that she doesnt treat DS as a partner that she shares things with, but as some business advisor and a source of favors
Based on episode 45:Some thoughts on the lead couple, not the actors that play them…To me (and I think they…
I 100% agree with you. Indeed, what GS did is rotten. It is absolutely not ok to be signing things without first asking your partner. AND what I see the problem is that GS doesnt treat DS as a partner. She treats him as some fuddy duddy old man sugar daddy she could care less about.
And, what Zango said is politics, not a relationship. It can terribly backfire. It is best not to be holding secrets. Firs of all there will be no trust.
The metaphor—a jewel in the box, not on the hand of the beholden—is exquisite. It captures exactly what’s…
Yeah exactly, "she’s circling back. Not out of love, but out of emptiness." and "she just dropped them as inconvenient luggage on her way to shininess" indeed!!!!!! SO WHY DID SHE COME BACK? her hubby already found another one? Or her role as a trinket for show is over already and she can retire as a kept wife, quietly in the corner??? And she has criminal cruel nature and IS capable of kidnapping and lenghty nasty lawsuits and such... So .. lets pray that BS gets rid of her asap. I think the easiest way is ... to have a chat with her husband :) and say that his wife will be exposed on tv or something LOL
Agree with everything you said. She's very delusional. I also find her victim mentality laughable.
She doesnt have victim mentality and she is not laughable. She is a delusional psycho capable of kidnapping, $$$$ long nasty lawsuits, scandals, etc. SHE IS A DANGEROUS MANIPULATIVE CRIMINAL
My take....unpacking the sociopolitical architecture of chaebol culture and how it warps identity, ambition, and…
i think I see you in Queen's House too? Mi Ran is 100% example of the heavy duty business kind, where you give up your baby so that there could be a male heir, and you marry for connections. Yeah it seems obsolete in 21st century, doesnt it... ? But it is so much money, so they do it..
This kdrama was so good about showing really unpleasant heavy topics from the point of view of comedy, but ... the water is getting deeper and things are scarier. The blood spewing is ... tuberculosis... ???
Why are people saying that the Joseon SC is now in year 2025 with that skin machine LOL I rewatched the scene at the very end of ep 8 and could not figure out why ppl thought that Joseon SC was now in the real world... What made you think she was the Joseon book character that jumped to live in the real world... ???
and this FL character is a LOT more self sufficient, independent , smart and active, taking care of things, than a generic kdrama loser FL lead that keeps falling into her own mouth bc of her own dumbness and rashness .. This kdrama is actually quite progressive as far as kdramas go and in general... FL and ML are about equal
OMG I missed it!!!! HOW DO YOU KNOW it was the real Joseon lady there? I was wondering why the body is not on the floor and why the whole apartment was clean etc but I didnt catch that she is the Joseon lady.
So that is the crossroads - WILL they switch places or stay as is forever...
