Dying in episode 7. 😂 I totally relate to the disgruntled mom, and the entire exchange between XZ and his dad was hilarious, but so spot-on in the depiction of thr family dynamics and their absolute cluelessness. All the show's depictions of the idiotic/chauvinist mindsets of different types of men are infuriating but well-done, because they weave it so well with the keen observations of the women who sharply rebuke their behaviour and attitude. I only wish the FL was more vocal in defending herself (that just because he is like that, doesn't mean everyone else is). But I get it - she is tired of dealing with him and it's easier to just not engage. I also don't love the attempt (intentional or not) to elicit sympathy for the woeful loser (soon-to-be) ex-husband, but I get that it's trying to show his regrets and perspective too.

I am only in the early episodes, and I can't stand the husband's world view on relationships and all his assumptions. Just because that's how he is, doesn't mean everyone else is the same. The FLs insights about him are absolute fire. And the BFF's comment about how he has the guts to cheat but not the guts to admit it. So good! (I know they get together later, and i can totally see that, because they seem more suited to each other, since she's not a long term commitment type either.)

Just started ep 1 and really enjoying it. Also great production values for a modern c-drama. Great mood, colour palette/filter, direction, and details -- almost like a movie. Also, the FL's speech to her soon-to-be ex-husband when he remarks on why women lose their cuteness as they age: "It's because of men like you. You grow old in age, but your mind doesn't mature. You're old but immature, you also can't accept women that are more capable, smarter, and with more ideas and opinions than you." 🔥

From her perspective, it's kind of understandable though. She thinks the FL was scheming against her all these years and the guy offered misleading "proof"

Most of the ones I've seen have been HE. Provoke was a HE too. Hopefully this one will.

It's also mentioned in ep 7 when the FL and "friend" were looking at his info on the USB thumb drive. It mentions his medical training. It comes up again in ep 7 when he is arguing with his friend, who mentions that he gave up medicine to seek justice for his father's death.

If I recall, Bride's Revenge was a HE, though I didn't think it was that good overall.

So far I'm liking this much better than Maid's/Bride's Revenge, even though it has a similar mood and vibe. Hopefully it will get a better ending too. Great production values again for a mini-drama.

Edit: For those who liked the OTP from Maid's Revenge, they are in a modern mini-drama that just started airing called Forever Love.

This will be also be coming to the Toronto Film Festival in September.

Chuckling at the bajillion super-obvious product placements in the last couple of episodes. 😂

oh man!! That ending sounds like it definitely wins for "worst way to treat your protagonists and viewers”!

I kept wondering why Da-eul put up with him (and now her obviously equally awful in-laws) instead of divorcing him, but the whole issue around Pyung-hwa and her "status" as a divorcee sheds some light on maybe why Da-eul didn't kick him to the curb eons ago...I hope her storyline ends where she does though! There are also parallels with the sister as well, and her unwillingness to sign the divorce papers too, saying it's a critical time for her career-wise. (Also, the way she treats her own son is heartbreaking...)

On Da-eul and her useless, ungrateful, lazy husband...

There's no way he would! I think he's playing it smart and cool, and going along with it to help Gu Won, instead of flat-out slamming the cup down and saying, "are you out of your mind?!" which is what I would have stupidly done, lol.

Is it just me or from the trailer, it looks like live audio!? (not dubbed)🥳 Anyway, this looks creeptastic, lol

You should watch Familiar Stranger, where he is the ML. It's one of those short-length mini-dramas, but one of the best ones I've seen of that type.

His name is Tong Yi Lang. I've created a new profile for him, but it hasn't been approved yet, so not part of the cast list yet.

I am enjoying this, GHY is hilarious here and the chemistry between our leads is great. The FL is so awesome, strong, and independent! These types of rom coms are meant to be a little over the top (and pretty clear from that opening scene!), so I think it totally work here. The storytelling could be tighter though, especially in the middle, where I am now. The little sister got super annoying though, unfortunately. Still fun overall, especially for fans of GHY, but I recommend waiting for non-garbled Mango subs for non-mandarin speakers!

no. It was originally a completely fake relationship only for the public, but the ML became interested when the twin stepped in to pretend to be her sister, because she was suddenly so different.
