Yep, it's a writer trick: when you feel a character isn't needed, there is some ways to merge it with another one. HO could do that well. The problem for Hyeri writer: she needs the secondary character to make speak people, I mean, protagonists. The strongest line was "the forest takes care of her better than you". But maybe it was possible to put that as ML voice-over too. In a more quickly way.
You see that in kdrama Memories of the Alhambra: ML has voice-over where he throws at himself his own wrong. And voice-over happens in moment of other actions. So we can say, screentime is much more optimized and punchy.
A compilation, but I think it's only 1% or even 0.1% of this kind of scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TONXOuZ1c4 😂 The one of joker is famous because explosives didn't work. The actor had to improvize the scene, hoping it would work later, and BADABOOM, finally it worked.
I hope Kim Jae Young's paycheck for this role is generous enough to make up for him having to play this cringe…
I liked the drama because of comedy. But last episodes are less good about that. Else it's quite a cheap drama, mostly targeting easy entertainment. Many characters are simple or caricatural , most of villains first. It still work, as you can see the drama has a good popularity.
The very plot I CAN'T STAND ANYMORE about protagonists with super-powers: They LOOSE their super-powers. Now, it will be such a pain to watch, I just want to drop the drama. I could feel that coming from miles away, just from episode 1.......

Yeh. So, I'm thinking: remove brother and sister. Put Cho-Rong first, so we see her before, would be better for accepting the mariage plot more easely. Because this character wasn't introduced over time, we got a 5 minutes info-dump during flashbacks of Ep8 (if I remember well). But anyway, it still add someone taking care of grandmas.
Then remove also some grandmas, 3 would be enough. Remove the dead one, it wins screentime. Remove the subplot about the husband gone and coming back. Well, I'm redoing the script structure here. LOL! It's a bit risky as I don't know yet how the drama ends.
I just think about to remove as much as subplots and secondary characters from the start, because anyway, some will be needed for the main plot. Problem is the writer probably signed for a number of episode, and by removing too much, how it stands with the whole? There is probably something more to do just with the main characters, so we get the feeling the story moves during present time.
Also, it's not like the grandmas were poor. They live in this big house, looks like they saved money, as they can pay ChoRong. Not easy to give to a protagonist a solid reason to never want to marry.
How he lives with her for 8 years but knows nothing? How was she working years like that and started having "big…
It's enough explained. She gets big shocks in 2019, when Hyeri is declared dead and grandma dies. Then the break-up doesn't make her situation better. I find that good, it's a point when a personnality already in trouble but able to live normally falls down.
The showmaker failed to connect with audience. Whatever they trying to tell, most audience failed to understand.…
I found that enough convincing, thought.
I've rather have trouble with the pace, many episodes without Hiery and feeling the story doesn't move enough in present time, many flashbacks, a bit too long ones or too numerous. From episode 5 to 9, number of great scenes is lower. I find the writing both great and flawed. I can only get the feeling the drama needed less episodes and less secondary characters.
Ji-On and Sister: it's not I dislike them, but I wonder if the story would be better without them. They also step over ML main problem: take care of the grandmas. But as there are three of them, it should discharge him a lot of this problem. They could just taking turns. If he were alone to take care of grandmas, we would have a better feeling of urgency and the weight of his burden.

Gives her back her powers without blah-blah. 😇
Axe and bodyparts in the secret lair... I don't see how it could be more a given.

Still more funny when Robert Patrick does it:

She's a bit crazy to enters, while she doesn't have superpowers anymore.
Those lawyers have multiple stomachs?!!
Doesn't look like good ones. Slimy. Industrial food.
They LOOSE their super-powers.

Apart the cliffhanger, but I guess someone else interposes: maybe BitNa assistant.
Let's see that in Ep11 now.........
