This has the potential to be a very good drama but something I cannot stand about J-Dramas is how the FMLs are…
wdym always? jdrama has so many strong FLs. and it's not like kdramas & cdramas don't have similar kinda of FL all the time too... I hate when ppl make blanket statements like this.
to the new people here: Netflix will be releasing new episodes each week, maybe, (but I can't see that in my country). anyways, try to support the cast & crew by watching legally.
HOWEVER, you can watch this through the the fansubber, aoharusubs. she translates both Korean & Japanese dialogue. Fansubs are always better BC a fan will by definition put a lot of care into their subs, out of love for the media & the craft itself. Meanwhile, NF & other official sources force an underpaid & overworked person to translate with 0 QC. the only issue is that her updates are a bit slow, which is understandable bc she's in school.
where did you watch ? I have been waiting from the first day for it to be subbed in a good platform. I wanna start…
those are machine translated. pls don't recommend that cursed site for jdramas, they either do AI generated subs or straight up steal from the fansubbers who translate most jdramas
Impossible Heir EP. 4: is it bad if I ship Tae-oh with Hui-ju? Actually low-key want them to be the leads
They have such chemistry, she's a better actress, and their relationship would be interesting to watch. Just a bunch of cute pyschos being lovey dovey while plotting to take over the world. They'd be unstoppable. get married pls.
wasn't expecting to see Indian representation in this jdrama of all places, but I'm happy anyways. maybe it would have been cool if he wasn't literally a curry guy (!!) but Sanjay and Akane are really cute so idc
A lot of people have said it much better, but yes, all of these people have gone from "morally dubious" at best to absolutely horrible.
Ah-jung? She turned down being a beard for a gay man in an extremely homophobic and rightwing society. Which is fair and valid, because any passing chaebol pyscho could crush her broke ass like a bug. and yet, she chooses to be Do-han's fake wife, not because it's life and death for him, but to spite his evil goblin little brother.
Ji-han? A parasitic capitalist scum who uses and tosses away poor people just to appease his corporation and his even more soulless grandpa. That's bad, sure, but he also seeks to impose his vision of success and security onto his brother, when Do-han has made it clear how unhappy being the CEO would make him - Ji-han cares as little about Do-han's happiness as the rest of his psycho family. And that's a charitable interpretation... it's also likely Ji-han is unconsciously doing this so he can vicariously be the CEO through Do-han. And this isn't even touching all the ways he keeps screwing over Ah-jung but it's OK cause he's a hot kdrama chaebol ML.
Do-han? he's not as bad as everyone else in this drama but using your broke ass, lower-middle class friend to save yourself when you can't really protect her when all the chaebol intrigue goes sideways... like come on, man. i also did not like how he treated his former boyfriend when the latter got assaulted, but it's not my place to say anything about that aspects of his character.
and these are just the main characters, y'all. the only somewhat wholesome ppl in this drama are Ah-jung's parents and those random farmers. that being said, I am enjoying this drama and will be watching it to the very end. if you want a positive spin on it, i guess u can say that there are very morally grey characters, which makes it more realistic?
eh, I prefer fansubs because the fansubbers always time and effort into giving the best possible translations. also, idk if Netflix translates both the Korean & Japanese dialogues.
