from what i have understood that when her baby died she tried to bring back the babys soul which is like dark…
@Lilsoftae Thanks for explaining! That makes so much more sense now. It definitely adds more depth to her character, but why has she been targeting Gyeon U? It seems like she's been after him since he was a kid. Is it just because his parents paid her, or is he part of a bigger plan to retrieve her baby’s soul through him??
Maybe I missed something, but can someone explain why YeomHwa is so hateful and carries such a grudge against basically everyone, including herself? I know she lost the baby, but do we know the full story — the why, how, and what? With only two episodes left, it’s frustrating not having these answers.
ugh...i guess not all manwha work as live actions after all...i stayed to the end for the sake of Ok tae yeon…
I completely agree with your thoughts. I feel for him because both "The First Night with the Duke" and "Heartbeat" had such fun, lighthearted, and quirky premises with great morals—stories that really seemed to suit him. However, the execution and scripts didn’t quite hit the mark. I’m not familiar with how the industry works, so I’m not sure if he agreed to these projects before the scripts were finalized. Either way, it feels like these projects didn’t do him justice.
I think the obvious reason is that Heo Tae Yun is a threat to him taking over Daesan Group, but deep down, he’s jealous of all the love Tae Yun received. Maybe it’s also about revenge for his mom, since Tae Yun’s mom has always been mean and hostile towards them.
Hm, the episodes have continuously been fine so far. Am I seriously the only one still invested in the storyline?…
You're definitely not alone! I'm super invested in the story too. I totally agree it has all the ingredients to be great, but yeah, around episode 5 it did fizzle out a bit. Not in a "throw your remote and rage quit" kind of way, though—more like the intensity took a little break. But it's still really fun and entertaining, and I’m excited to see how it wraps up! Sometimes dramas just hit differently when you binge them, so I think this one will age well for sure. Let’s hang in there and enjoy the ride!
This show is infested with haters, on asianwiki it has a rating of 57, when any average drama there has at least…
Same here! I started watching after the third episode dropped, and I was blown away by how the story unfolded so intricately right from the start. The execution and acting were top-notch, and it felt like discovering a hidden gem before the hype took over. Honestly, it’s such a treat to stumble on a good drama early without all the over-the-top promotion. That said, I’ve definitely been burned by overly hyped dramas that just didn’t match my taste. Everyone has their own preferences, so while sharing reviews is great, there’s no need to bash what others enjoy. After all, what clicks for one person might not for another—and that’s totally okay!
How does he even have this much money I mean I know he's a veteran idol and figure but LOL
Before he gained widespread recognition as an actor with The Red Sleeve, he had already spent years as a member of 2PM. On top of that, many people don’t realize he’s had an incredibly successful solo career in Japan. As a singer and idol, concerts are one of the biggest sources of income, and he’s done over 150 concerts with 2PM and more than 100 solo performances. Being a hardworking, low-profile kind of guy, all that effort has definitely paid off!
I'm still confused about somethings. It seems the real BS's mom just found out about her son being alive, so she…
You brought up so many great questions! I’m not sure if they’ll stick to the novel and make the mom the mastermind, or if she’s just going to help out her son once she realizes he’s alive—so not the grand master. Guess we’ll see in this week’s final episodes.
As for your second point, my take is that since Chairman Hong already invested in the Baek family’s political influence, killing him in that moment would’ve made him lose everything. But now that the "little monster" is out of the way, he can repay him later with his potential political power, plus that "do whatever you want" contract as a bonus.
Don't kill me, but I think even more gruff and older guys like maybe Hyun Bin, Ji sung , Gong Yoo could play the…
For teenage girls, guys in their 20s can seem like they’re from another planet—🌌 so wise, so grown-up. Then you hit adulthood and realize the age gap isn’t that big, and those 20-somethings? Often immature and still figuring life out. Oh, the perspective we had back then... cue existential laugh-cry 😂🤦♀️.

I totally see where you're coming from. This character is written with a wealth of experience, a cultured background, and a composed personality—perfect traits for a presidential spokesman. Actors in their 30s or 40s would be a great fit, as they can really bring out the depth of the role. That said, the casting of Yoo Yeon Seok in this drama is an amazing choice!
In the political world, 40s is young. After all, Kennedy was 43 and Obama was 47 when they became presidents—they were seen as youthful leaders!
After a three-year wait, it’s finally arriving on Netflix this January 1st! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it, but a new year calls for a new binge. Here’s to kicking off 2024 and manifesting all my wishes!
