All I can honestly say is that I am shocked about how bloody this show has turned up to be. I though we will be getting a happy ending for the 4 leads. But with that bloody preview...Jizz.... I do not thing Yun Hwa will intend to kill his friend like his father. After talking to Seol Mae Hwa his eyes have changed. I think he really started to believe that his father is not an angel and is hurting now. They need Jun Hwa to wake up to his senses because Yeongcheonru cannot seriously end un in the hands of the ones from Uiju. They are nasty people that will destroy the inn with theyr way of being. Myeong Ho is how it is because of him being raised by them. They look like a pack of mad woolves. I am glad that the Grand proprietor was not killed by Jae Eon but by a swords men. She did not deserve to have that much blood on her hands. Poor Eun Ho....all he wants is to protect her. Not to become a king. Not to become a murderer....not to loses his friends....his brother or his own life. However the finale episode seems to be dedicated to him being chased and sworded for wanting to ascend the throne to be able to protect Jae Eon. He was used by his father in an attempt to clear his sins....he lost his friends and his brother seems to play someting nasty behind his back. Although he did retirned him the proof he had against him and let him leave with Deok Su. I am unsure about that brother or cousin of his. His father has absolutely no remosre and wont stop killing people for that ledger including his acomplices and perhaps his own son. And ultimatley....poor Ko Su Ra. From beggining to an end he was the only thru to himself character in this story. He was lied by his friends . Each and everyone hiding his real identity. Yet he never got mad of them. Instead he refused to betray them especially Yun Hwa for money. He defended him from the Uiju pack of woolves and tryed to take the blame on him for Myeong Ho's condition. Yet it seems that he will be the last one standing....his friends might actually end up dead and Myeong Ho's family is about to take over Yeongcheonru and make him a sleeve. Another reason why I strongly believe Jun Hwa will wake up in the end. I imagined a happy ending for the 4 of them. Now I am seeing Su Ra completly alone in the middle of a blood shead in Yeongcheonru. And out of everybody he was the most pure of all. If this turns into a KTrauma it will be tHE ktRAUMA of the century. The most unexpected one.

Still he returned the proof he found at the minister of war's house to him and let him go. In the preview he threat him to return to Yeongchongru to Deok Su and stop playing next king. He does not want to kill him because Muyeong was his only real family and he did not knew what his father did. I do not think it is him....more like the king swards men that has been told to find them multiple times already......

They did not. Junwha knew his father send people to kill Mae Hwa and could do nothing especially believeing she is the killer of Deok Su's family. And Eun Ho is just doing what he promssed Mae Hwa he'll do....protect Deok Su. And Deok Su and Mae Hwa have a plan. That is why she changed roots and riched uiju. They needed more power and more madness to the game.

I do not think he is faking the sickness. There are a lot of backscenes with him as a kid and as a teen being sick and Jun Ho witnessing that. And if I had not read wrong there are 3 princes. Yunseong, Eunyeong and Muyeong. Yunseong is the grandchild of the minister that was killed. Eunyeong is the sick one and Muyeong is Eun Ho. As he is defenetly sick he kind of has to choose between the sons of 2 traitos. Yunseong we never saw him. And Muyeong was the only one unconditionally on his side all this time. The choice is kind of clear. As much as he wants revange he wont take in on Eun Ho. My guess. We will see.

Thought on episodes 35-36:
Attempt number 3...or 4...hopefully this times it does not get deleted.🥲

I expected a rushed and ridiculous finale but not to this extent.
I loved that they tryed to avoid a massive cliche with awakening the comatose with the kiss of the beloved one...but Ji Yeon and Da Rim were just hilarious and uterrly ridiculous.
I loved that somehow everybody got a conclusion but it pissed me off that the one they left the most inconclusive was exactley the one that has done the entire show. SEO GANG JU.
You are telling me that after everything he did, Tae Woong is the one getting the engagement party? Amd the scene where the family is reliesed from prison? You are telling me that after we have seen halmonie killing her kneews to pray for Gangju's life , Bongwhi not being able to sleep or stay chill cause he felt guilty and misserable for what they did to Gangju all this time, and haraboji stopping to cry for his noona only to cry like a baby for his beloved nuisance...we are not getting a scene with the for of them in the end? We do not get to hear Bong Hwi taking back her words of Gangju not being worthy of the family and Da Rim? We are not getting an emotional thank you and sorry from the grand parents twards Gangju?
And more important...we are left with Gangju's retorical question "I will be part of this family soon too, right?" ? This is the most rediculous finale I have ever seen. And oh I have seen idiotic finales in the world...like the american series Riverdale or the colombian series El final del paraiso. And yeah even the mexican telenovela El amor 'disque' invencible. I have seen series from the entire world at this point including long stupid flashlighted indian dramas Yet never have I ever seen such a makjang. I get that the series is supposed to be black comedy an taken as it is but the finale, the conclusion that is the most important should be the glimse of seriousity of this show.
Let me add the fact that Gangju woke up from a coma because of his mother's promise of donating the doomed money. As if the actor were to say "Writernim you eather wake me up properly or watch me sleep my beauty sleep f good, cause I am not sacrifaicing muself for the damn money EVER again".
Yet Ju Yeon never lerans her lesson innthe end and ironically the money returnes from where they left...the safe from the house. She does donate for one kid and we are left to presume that she will continue doing that but actually god knows at this point.
Back to Gangju why was he so hated by writernim? He was the glue of this series. His linked every character with his actions and created developement arcs for forgoten characters like Cha Rim that got a change to show she is not just a narcisistic gold dogger through her work in his new company to save the family. He even tamed his dad end his brother dearest yet in the end daddy gets a trip with Bongwhi and brother gets the engagement party that was ment to be for Gangju.
Some of you are going to say that is better this way cause they do not rush rheir relationship. But then here I am to remind you that they are freaking 9 almost 10 years in delay. First he never called back, then she had her Taewoong era, then they had to focus to make up the money, they they got arrested, then he felt into coma...rushed my ass. It was their time nkt Tae Woong and Cha Rim's with all due respect.
All the other couples arcs were left in the air. Mu Rim and Su Ji almost did not make it...and we nevef got to see the baby they sid they have been working hard on...Gi Dong and Mi Yeon we still do not know if the mother in low agrrees with that. At least Shin and Beom seem to get along with eachother. The intention of redemtion of the police officer was not belivevabke at all. She looked on them as if they were the scumbags of the society even if they did not killed or harmed anybody. She got the promotion while Mu Rim lost his job. And then a couple days before the family was released she came to Bong Hwi to say that she was going to leave it up to Su Ji if she wants to repair her relationship with Mu Rim. Ffs...

To rushed and to nonsesic this finale...
The show itself I adore it. I was here from the beggining and spent 4 months of my life with those characters I am so going to miss. I do recommand it. And I will eventually one day rewatch it...or at least some scenes from it that were worth it.
What surprised me the most was how the script made as love and hate everycharacter in turns. It was a real rollercoaster.
All in all the protagonists of the show were THE MONEY. And the families were the idiots that did not knew how to care them properly. Stolen or not. Enhertied or not.
I thoughed that the last scene was going to be a kiss between the keads on their beloved crosswalk but insted they were duing laudry while the family was partying and they found a 50.000w bill inside the washer that ironically smiled at them. And the series did not started with AA so that was kind of a simbol of "We are finally clean". However Gangju DESREVED better.
Jung Hyun is an excelent actor. This character was made for him. I cannot think of another actor portraing Gangju better. Yes even he admitted he overdid Gangju a bit but that is purely because the script said so. He so deserves his TOP EXCELLENCE AWARD. And even more.
But next time I wish he chooses a writer that does not want to screw him.over and over. It was painfull to watch him. Especially the kimchy box scene.

And to those of you who thing Tae Joon was more interesting...I KEEP my opinion. He did not desreve his awards for the Best Supporting role. It should have been haraboji or the actor playing Seung Dong. Seung Dong was an asahole form beggining to an end but at least the actor screemed his lungs out. While Tae Joon was given zero chances to shine. I also hope he will get better characters next. Perhaps even a drama in which he could co lead Yang Hye Ji with a proper love story between them.
Special shoutout to the grannies. They were so cute and top notch acting. Never have I ever thought I would get to see the halmonie of Coreea in a prisioner costume. Or the ballerino haraboji from Navilierra in a prison cell.
That being said...Goodby Iron Family. It was a good ride.

P.S I think I am left with some brain damage from Ji Yeon, Seung Dong and Bong Hwi's screems. I still hear them in my head even now. 😂

Yes and no. Yes yhey donhave like a marraige oarty bit they do not register their marraoge due to the family being jailed for grand lacerny. And they breake up until the last episode when the girl pissed off with the situation return to his family's house to kiss him abruptly and he just hugs her back and we have tonsuppose that they got back and will eventually register rheir marriage.

Thank you Jung Hyun oppa. Well said....

NO do not. It becomes better once she starts loving ML. Skip pisodes 13 to 19. They will have their first kiss on ep 24 but starting ep 19 the ML kind of starts fighting properly for the girl.

Thnak you money indeed.

No other victim suffered? Aham...the fat loan shark that took all the money died...like for real dude felt off a building like a big pie...Gangju her own son got to commit a crime to protect everyone...and ended up in a coma because of that stupid money. Had she not taken the money out to soon the car driver would have never saw them and plan the robbery in the first place. Had she not gotten involved with the loan sharks Gangju wpuld have never ended up in coma to begin with. Had she properly reported the real amount the case qould have made the news and therefore even the elders and Bong Hwi wpuld have doubted the money under their couch.
Everybody was hurt because of the money including herself by getting a divorce. Had she told the truth to her husband and child about the enheritance NONE of that would have happened.

Oh Lord...I wpuld pitty her cellmates if so. They would be paying a double sentence...the one given by the judge and the one given by Ji Ye9ns screems. Also she would make all the guards quit in within a day.

The 1 year in prison was because they have more attenuants then agravants. For the frannies was taken into consideration their age, and the reason of the theft and the fact that they did not spend all 10 million...and did not soent them to do bad things eather. For Bong Hwi I guess theybcould not prove she destroied evidence so theybcould not properly chrage her on that. As the judge mentioned she also has atenuants her background as to why she stole cause it was comprehansible since Da Rim condition was under clock, and also the fact that she tryed to getter the money on the right way asking everybody she knew and no one wanted to help for some selfish reason. They all recueved alternatives like fines in money or up to 5 years in prison but we the deductions they only got one. I disagree about them not having remorse for what they did. They did have remorse and ask everybody for forgivness and including when they got out they said "Lets not steal ever again".

Have you seen what has gotten him.out of come? I died of laughter. Not mom and dad screaming near his bad as they did all his life, not Da Rim with the kiss of the princes...no...not a all. His mom's promis to donate all that doomed money. It was like...at this point "Writernim I refuse to get jailed or killed for that doomed money ever again so write my awaykening properly or you'll hace to pay for my sleeping beuaty hospital charges. ". 🤣 Mujkang mujkang but buggest clichee ever was evoided... Ji Yeon to Da Rim: "Are you sure he loves you so deeply? Have you kiss him properly? They why is he not waking up?". Da rim to her: "I do not know...perhaps he forgot about me? I am sure I behaved lile he behaved to me".Jiyeon: "Are you sure you know how to kiss? Did you too even did it properly before?".Da Rim: "Darling, we even slept togheter...sish.".

Amd I respect your opinion about Tae Joon even If I do not completele share it. At least Tae Joon got an engagement party in the end. While Gangju after everything he did had to wait for his turn. And he was like...its pk your my brother. 😂 I wosh we had more romance for both the couples but it seems hilarious that Tae Woong and Cha Rim were given 0 chances to shine but were given the engegement party first.

Happy emding though....you are not going to believe what got him out of coma. 😅 Just keep watching.

Well Gangju's plan was to steal the theifs car so that they could not follow the mother. His plan backfired since the car was not electric and needed the key. It was somehow absurd but the intension was good. Here his mother is also to blame because she left woth the money even though she turned back for him. Had she not left the things would have been better. Gamgju's accident was needed for both his parents to finally wake up. KDramaland indeed.

I agree about the parents. And you are right about the orphanage stuff. But still at least to me Gamgju was more present in the story and It was him that liked everybody in the end because of his love for Da Rim.

He was obssesed with his stepdad because it is the only paternal figure he had in his life. Since his real father abandoned them he was left with daddy issues. But ever since he becone Seungdons father he himself said that it was the best gift her mother has given to him. Perhaps more backstories of the two of them would have been nice so that we could understand why Gangju loves him so much despite of him bei g an ass hole.
As for Taejoon...what dots dod he connected?
If he had not lie to the family rhey would have never ever needed to steal money in the first place. His fear of abandonment is not as justified as Gangju's. His existance explained his fathers past somehow. That I agree. But I do not feel like he has connected anybody in this story at all. He just existed there. He did not even knew about the money, he was the kast one to find out that his family and Gangju were under arrest and he could do nothing to save anyone whatsoever.
He did not do amything special for his dads company. He just hapoened to come with the idea to unite Gangju's blooming business to theirs so that they could work togheter cause he alone was just useless in that position. I still dislike how he got his position in the first place. Gangju was fired because he was too perfect. And because Sungdon did not want anybody to believe he was favoring his son. Yet he brought his other son and installed him on a CEO position with him.only having a highschool diploma and some weird ways to make money by investing. That were to nonuse ever since he got the CEO position.
I could not agree more about the fact that his pitential as an actor was missused. Wasted. But the way the character was build now you can say that he really did someting to metter in this whole story. Not even his relationship with Cha Rim was built properly. He never puted an ultimatum on Da Rim in order to not break her heart but If he had been strong in his rejection the Taewoong ere would hqve been a mere fling insted of an era.

Dobyou really wanna know who is her? I did not mwntion her name to spare myself some nasty coments from her fanatics.

I just realise someting. Gangju's plan was to steal the theifs car so that they will not chase his mother, which could have been a geniuos plan if not for Gangju's usual bad luck. Meaning the car was not electric, not opanable from a button and he needed thw key. That is why he left himself be beaten by that baseball bat. To protect the freaking key. He could have ran the car over one of them in legitimate defense but then the others would have still had their car and could chase them and provoke a nastu accident. He wanted to protect his mother on every possible outcome. Amd this way as painfull as it was It woke her up...she does not need the money to be hapoy, she needs her son. Amd also Seung Don was awaken...in the preview he literally went to attack back the idiot that almost killed his son. Aknowledgeing Gangju as his son finally. None of them deserves Gangju yet Gangju loves every single idiot chracter on this show. The move of leaving the car was not the wisesed one but not the worst one eather. How not to love Seo Gangju? 😁🤪😍
