So, basically, the billionaire son needed a tall, lively, Miss Korea beauty contest runner up and successful young actress to be his trophy wife, and after she gave up her career and gave birth to two healthy kids for the family, he took the kids and threw her away.

She has health issues. She spent 1-2 weeks in the hospital in the middle of filming.

I take k-drama seriously. It's a form of entertainment that has a lot to say about life choices, human nature, soul-destroying societal pressures, but also, how regardless of your background, if you work hard and have a talent for something (anything really), you can have a fulfilling life, etc. It seems to me like the most significant and effective form of communicating the Korean ideology of "soft power," and I love it.

Admit it, you're a friend of her toxic ex-husband.

SBS should start engraving Go's Baeksang award.

Note: Mephisto hated this drama and Go Hyun-jung before the 1st episode had even aired. He came to this site to dissuade people from watching it.

I'm still thinking about this drama as well, and the scene in which Go's fury manifests in her smashing her red, designer bag and the way she pauses briefly before unleashing another wave of fury. That's the magic of Go.

Go is the queen of multi-dimensional characters. When she's in a scene I feel compelled to analyze every twitch of her eyebrows and why is she smiling like that and, etc. And I've heard that the camera people on her dramas are dedicated to capturing every move she makes. She's the best there is.

That's depressing.

And those other ratings are the ones currently influencing visitors to this site to not bother watching it.

Opinion: MDL should turn off ratings until all episodes of a drama have been made available for viewing.

Maybe those giving it low ratings will perk up if Jang Dong-yoon has some kissing scenes in later eps.

For that reason, I've begun to only rate the dramas that I've watched from start to finish and that IMO deserve a 10.

Ha! I wonder if they realize that, as a result, their opinions are useless.

Ah, now I know why the mom became a serial killer.

It's to reveal the names of the dramas that have met with your approval.

So, people watched one episode and decided to give it a low rating?

Same.

But I think that even the earlier k-dramas proved that Korean culture was extremely attractive to many viewers beyond Korea and even beyond Asia. For many Americans like me, it was just about being able to SEE Korean films and dramas. And thanks to even the earliest years of Hallyu now we can. And although the financial funding offered by Western streaming companies like Netflix has influenced some Korean production companies, I think the Korean creative teams have still managed to make even their Netflix sponsored dramas way more Korean than American. It's just that once American viewers were able to see them, it turned out that we really, really like Korean content! I hope Koreans will see that as a positive thing.

Thank you for the recommendation. It's on my list. Like many of the actresses who have entertained audiences for many years, she has a huge, loyal fan base. That's so good to see.
