Just from how these things have gone in other dramas, from the poster and the cast listing, many strongly suspect…
They could but they wouldn't be called the secondary couple. That is pretty much always the SFL and SML getting together. I think if the sister and the doctor get together, they would be a third couple? Side couple? Not sure. Same with the brother and cafe owner.
The writers are really letting their lead have it. It's so disappointing to see. It's not even enjoyable at this…
Hae Mi is the direct supervisor of the interns but somehow was not even questioned when things got blamed on the interns. Like when YY supposedly burned down the kitchen. Or when the wrong dates got printed on the beverage cans. Or when YY ordered 10x the normal amount of supplies. Wouldn't HM have had to sign off on that? Who gives an intern that much purchasing power? I'm middle level management where I work and I still have to get my boss to sign off on everything.
Anyway, all these mistakes are costing the company tons of money and somehow Hae Mi, as the person ultimately responsible for it as the interns' direct supervisor, doesn't have to answer for anything. It's nuts.

I agree with you. These daily dramas tend to grind the FL down until about about halfway, so I was expecting some turnaround to start happening around episode 60, but nothing so far. I think making this 120 episodes rather than 100 is making them drag stuff out already. I hope it picks up soon.
I can't understand for the life of me why they writers made Young Yi so weak. Why does she have to just sit and…
In these daily dramas, the writers generally pound down the FLs way past the breaking point. I think it's to make the eventual turn around and triumph and/or revenge that much sweeter in the end. We're past the halfway point, so it's time for the FL to start getting some wins now. At least Young Yi hasn't been to jail (looking at you, Second Husband).
As to why no one in daily dramas clears up any misunderstanding, ever, with anyone, I still have not figured that out. I know Korea is patriarchal but to this extreme?
Just from how these things have gone in other dramas, from the poster and the cast listing, many strongly suspect the writers will put Se Jun and Hae Mi together as the second couple. Evidence for that is that when she pulls her worst behaviour he always comments that it's intriguing and then helps her, despite this being completely out of character on his part.
Just watched the most recent episode (Internal Investigation episode). All I can say is that the writers must…
The MIL does this all the time so it's not surprising for her not to care. It makes less sense from the FIL though. (By MIL and FIL, I mean Kyung Jun's parents.)
I guess Hae Mi is guilty of corporate espionage? Is that what she would be charged with? I wonder what the punishment would be for that in Korea.
This drama had so many things going for it. The acting, the cinematography, the sets, the music. The friendships and relationships felt real and believable. The fact that there were gay and straight relationships and it doesn't need to be categorized. The music set a sweet and nostalgic tone, even if it was a bit loud at times.
But two things really brought it down. The wigs-- no explanation necessary. And the plot. The whole setup was great, and there were many moments where the dialogue felt real. But a few times an episode there would be a plot point or a conversation that would leave me shaking my head. For example, the bride who gives exposition on all her family trauma during her wedding speech. Or the the couple who's just broken up and one person is moving out and at the car, the other one proposes. When asked why did that, he says he doesn't know.
Was it laziness, did they run out of ideas, were they just bad writers? It really took the sheen off of what could have been an amazing series.
i know this is fiction and in general i should be the bigger person here, but by the end of these 124 episodes…
She will probably end up with SeJun and I'm going to be so pissed about it. The writers are already starting to do him dirty. She'll do the nastiest thing ever and his reaction is starting to be, "She's so intriguing!". Barf. She needs to be in jail, not in a redemptive character arc she doesn't deserve.
What I've learned from dramas.Too much wasted foodNo privacy, anyone can just walk in bedrooms etcDoors are not…
No one can dodge a slow motion slap. If you abuse someone it's justified, if they return your energy they are the worst person on Earth. No one cares about the law or the real reasons for anything. Child custody is determined by the whims of rich grandparents. Modern forensic science does not exist in Korea. Security cameras are always broken if there was anything interesting to capture. If someone likes someone else, they have the right to stalk and terrorize the person they like and anyone around them. Probably more...
Good question. But correct me if I'm wrong, don't all the ones that involve a fantasy plot not have the step-brother…
I never thought about it that way but I think you're right. Trapped, Right or Wrong, MODC already had other things going on, so didn't need another twist. I wonder if this new one will be straightforward because of the sci-fi elements. I've seen some really good shows that play with time so I'm looking forward to what the writers come up with
I’m praying history5 will show no step siblings romance omg
It doesn't bother me that much since it's fiction (obviously it would be super weird in real life). But I'll take it any day over another ending like MODC!
Even more distracting for me than Win's roots discontinuity, is Team's whole "swimming is traumatic for me" issue. Who goes to school on a swimming scholarship when they have deep-rooted trauma around swimming? It's such a reverse-engineered problem that so much of WinTeam's relationship is built on. It bugs me all the time. I feel like without that, all they've got is lust.

MIL: move out!
