Ugh I was hoping that this father/daughter thing wasn't going to happen. So I am guessing she didn't sleep with…
Se-Hoon is NOT the chairman's bio son. As soon as they started hinting that JW was chairman's bio daughter they threw in a scene where the chairman was having a conversation with SH and he told SH that he should have never taken him in as a son.
The FL hair color doesn't suit her at all .. she should go back to dark or dark brown
Yeah I think they did this for a future purpose. If you notice it is the same color and similar cut as the red head designer Ji-na. Which may not bode well for Ji-na's life expectancy on this drama. It is Ike the original star trek - when the main cast went on a mission on the planet, they would take some red-shirt guys with them. You knew those guys were not coming back alive.
Sw yesterdays … so that didn’t take too long for yc’s fake pregnancy to be exposed she really folds when…
Starting to notice all the dialogue around how SH is becoming evil and more like his dad. They are giving him lines that are trying to make him appear more sinister. He also has his bad thoughts inner dialogue. They have him knock stuff off his desk and try to appear angry - now they are going back to his obsession over JW (which had been put on pause for awhile now).. The only problem is he is so unbelievable - He does this stuff and immediately runs to his daddy to do it for him. He has no power and is not mean enough to do anything himself.. As an evil character he is about as believable as Daffy Duck playing Darth Vader.
It looks like it. But some of the story and character arcs are different. The biggest is that the FL is the CEO and the ML is the secretary. It is actually quite entertaining for me so far.
The number of times we have seen the same rejection scenes, with the only thing really changing being the location…
It is so stupid. I hate the I am rejecting you for your own good trope! And then drama has the nerve to show him with red eyes and in pain from his own stupid decision. I feel absolutely nothing for characters being in pain of thier own making.
I think they purposely changed SH midway because if they didn’t, we might continue to pity him and they need…
Maybe possible events will change him. Since he wants the company so bad, what will happen if/when: 1. he finds out that he is not the chairman's bio son (maybe he knows already?) and : 2. that JW is the chairman's bio daughter (most likely) and : 3. then she tries to battle him for the company (which she probably will)..
Will he finally become ruthless or will he stay weak?
didnt she JUST wake up from a coma due to severe life threatening brain injuries? did we time skip a bit? how…
This drama has been good at doing the unexpected - even unbelievable - but it has definitely done some crazy unexpected stuff and big reveals way before other dramas would reveal - and then just keeps going full speed ahead - it really has not taken itself seriously - which is for me kind of enjoyable...
It is almost like they have someone watching MDL and every time we are sure they are going to pull a certain trope - or hold on to a secret for a long time - they make a hard left turn! Then laugh that they fooled us!
SH is such a weak bootlicker! He is so wishy washy as a character. He sides with people and then immediately changes sides as easy as waves come to shore and retreat back to sea.
His motivations are all over the place - except for his belief that he is the heir apparent and just because he is the chairman's child. Well that is, until it comes out that JW is the chairman's bio daughter, and will have a claim to the throne.
What about SH's love for JW? He watched his father throw the love of his life off the top of a building - and what does he do? Try to blackmail his father - but then runs to the hospital to see her - and - WHATEVER.
I mean he is the most inconsistent character I have seen! He is schizophrenic! He will do two polar opposite things in the same episode. I would say doing things against his character, but he has no established character traits - except that he is a sniveling, weak and entitled bootlicker
In regards to XZ, Gu Man kept the story to her novel. In the extras in her novel, after 10 years, he had not moved…
Yeah and he was a little hurt initially that she seemed completely indifferent to him when they saw each other at the restaurant. Which on her part indicates complete healing from the trauma she had around their relationship.
But given the final passage from the novel, I think he moved on:
Zhuang Xu instinctively reached out to steady her but restrained himself at the last second.
“It’s nothing, I just bumped into someone. Sorry—” She was explaining to the person on the phone when she looked up, about to apologize, but the words died in her throat the moment she recognized him.
Across mountains and rivers, through endless nights—gazing into her eyes now, he knew that when it came to her, he had finally reached the end of the road.That's wonderful, he thought. She came here without any reservations, completely unbothered.
He hadn't left a single scar on her happy life.
It felt as if a hidden corner of his heart had been fully opened. He smiled, looked at her, and said, "I'm sorry."
She paused, seeming both surprised and understanding, before finally smiling back at him. "It's okay," she replied.

FYI: HN is JW's first love ... and SH is JW's brother (non-bio)
