That lie would work in a small town where internet is shoddy at best, but among the elite where competition is steep its harder to accept. It just feels like lazy writing. Already well known and respected luxury brands would have been all over her and blow that lie right up. She’s competition, there’s no way competitors would just let her slide right in like she’s been there all along (a century!) and take a top spot. The European market alone would have eaten her alive over that.

This is really bothering me and maybe I missed the explanation….

Does the drama ever explain how Boudoir could make it as a brand in the first place? How can you make up a brand and say royalty has loved it for a century and yet not one person questioned that? Did she hack historical archives? Create vintage designs and plant them in museums? I don’t understand how that lie worked. Especially on netizens. We all know how ruthless they can be and dissect every single thing. But this major and easy to prove lie slipped by the masses?

That’s where this drama lost me. I’m far removed from the world of luxury fashion, I’m all for comfort and dressing for the weather. But you can’t tell me royalty has loved a brand for a 100 years and yet there’s no mention of that anywhere in history? Nothing in museums? There are no vintage archives? Her whole start was comical. Who would possibly believe those photoshopped images? I know people with money like to one up each other but to believe some random person on the internet was too much of a stretch for me.

Hahahaha, I wish you weren’t right! This will attract the every drama gets a 10 crowd all while stating its flaws. It really erks me.

Those dramas are typically much longer than 8 episodes though. This really isn’t a lot of time to tell a kdramas story.

I’m starting in a couple hours so hopefully I’m wrong and too much wasn’t left out to make it a solid drama. She has a large devoted fan base though so regardless of how the story flows, this will be rated high by them and still do well.

Considering each episode actually averages 45 min and not 60 like traditional kdramas, I’m not surprised it’s convoluted. Netflix dramas have a tendency to miss the mark for me, sounds like this one might not be the exception.

I’ll start it in a few hours and see how it goes.

Dang how much did Netflix cut out? Each episode averages 45 min, not 60? Hopefully it doesn’t ruin the flow.

If I remember correctly it’s showing a different POV. Like when she was being attacked in the parking garage and it ended there. The next episode went back father so we could catch up to what the ML had been doing before that took place.

12 episodes in and I would say no. There’s great chemistry between the cast but no romance.

Right! It now feels like whatever is really going on has only just started and now I’m nervous!

Fully agree, I liked it at the beginning but somewhere along the way it just became meh and I stopped caring.

Wait are you actually trying to say that your response calling me a lunatic because I told you the Epstein files were a global issue, that was an argument?

bless your heart. I really hope you find something else to occupy your time. This whole faux rage thing doesn’t really suit you well.

Have a good one. Sounds like you need it. ✌️

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Life is hard enough so you do you.
Hope your day gets brighter.

I mean neither is Norway, United Kingdom, France, Poland, Lithuania, the list goes on and on. They are all investigating their citizens listed in the files. This isn’t a US problem, it’s a wide spread GLOBAL Issue. So most definitely put some of your time to good use. Be that feminist you wanted to see and fight.

inmyrare, I wish my life was so good that the worst thing I could see in a drama was a FL who I thought had a moral compass, ended up just being basic and cheated on her husband. I truly wish I could ignore the other atrocities the world and this drama shows, but hey, guess we all have different ways to handle the hard stuff.

Kbeauty, you clearly have a lot of time on your hands, which is awesome, I wish I had more of it. If you can spare some time though, instead of putting all your energy into a drama character who cheated on her husband. I urge you to reach out to your local government and demand that those in your country who are listed in the Epstein Files be investigated throughly. Let’s direct our rage and energy towards the real life children who were s*x trafficked and graped daily. Let’s all be the feminists we hope to see in dramas and put our time and energy to good use.

I’ll have check that drama out, I love a good body swapping but I agree this drama isn’t perfect. It’s good though, and I really think the 2ML will face reality soon and stand up to his dad. Or I hope anyway because the 2FL has already had some good character development, his just might be a little slower.

Seriously, I keep wondering why I haven’t dropped it yet. It’s like I keep hoping it will turn around and become the drama I thought we were getting after the first episode. This feels like a bait and switch.

Because his character wasn’t written that way? You’ve watched a lot of dramas, this can’t be the first time you’re questioning why a character won’t stand up to their terrible family members. It happens all the time in these dramas. His is no different, some will stand up and fight and that’s usually the lead. Except in Something in the Rain, the FL needed to grow a backbone and quick, she and her mom annoyed me. But it is a theme in kdramas. It takes a lot for a character to stand up and make their own decisions regardless of the consequences. There’s still time for the 2ML to turn it around and see his dad for who he really is.

I’m always baffled when people say an average rating in the low 8s is “underrated”. If a 10 is perfect then 8 is near and that’s a solid drama. There are people like myself who don’t bother to rate until all the episodes are completed. Right now, I love this drama but it’s not done. If it stays on this trajectory I could rate it an 8.5-9 depending on the emotional elements, I don’t hand out 10s easily. If the writing goes downhill I could give it a 7-8. We all have different systems.
