Just starting the second episode, please tell me it gets better. Yes, they had to address the cancer diagnosis, but the way they're going about it so bad. The style and tone of this season is so different from the first. Like, did the new director even watch the first season? I really thought I wanted a second season. Now, not so much. Does it get better? I'm getting myself ready to have to drop it. : (

Wow, was it ever a hot mess!

The first episode starts as a flashback from the final episode of Kingdom of Love - all the "final couples" in tuxes and wedding gowns - but we never circled back around to that moment. Gotta say, though, that the last episode was better than the majority of the series. They finally started developing a storyline right at the end.

I was thinking the same. They had great chemistry as friends, but not at all as lovers.

Yes! Of course, if I had a girlfriend like that I'd look pissed off all the time, too!

Choi Si Won has outgrown that haircut.

OMG, what is WITH the cheesy 80s synth music in the background? OK, you can't get rights to the ACTUAL music, at least put some effort into matching the atmospheric filler music with the atmosphere of the scene! This has started to become more common lately. If it gets much worse it might make me quit kdrama altogether.

It's hard to watch Choi Si Wan mope around. Not that he's doing a bad job with the role, and I can understand wanting to break out of mischievous imp he's been typecast as, but I just can't see him in this character. I'm trying to keep an open mind. Maybe the script will surprise me. Maybe there's some nuance I'm just not seeing. But I'd like to see him in a serious role better suited to his image. I hope he doesn't end up with FL. (And why is she half naked most of the time?)

Big hopes for this drama! It's got so many of my fave actors and actresses! The screenwriter can be hit-or-miss, but when she's good, she's great!

I thought it was pretty clear that Ju Hee recognizes him, even though he doesn't seem to recognize her. Some part of him might. Implied to me that they end up together.

Could be that, either way she's punished. But if he sticks around long enough to demand ransom and collect payment, he's a lot more likely to be caught, rather than just stealing the baby and disappearing to sell it.

The only way I'd want a season two is if it involved a whole new set of characters, except granny, selling some other supernatural object from her table. That one question kept nagging me all the way through the series: What does all the other stuff on her table do?

Wow, what a great show! I've said it before and I'll say it again: MBC has the best dramas.

Agreed. She isn't a main character, why would she be written as one? She's a great supporting character and filled that role well.

Ok, but iirc, she said her housekeeper stole her spoon, implying she was originally the housekeeper, who switched with the politician, then switched back and lost her spoon. Do we know that TY's mom wasn't a politician? Homeless lady could have been pregnant before she switched, had the baby, then switched. back. In the mean time, the politician fell in love while switched to the housekeeper, switched back, and couldn't get the divorce. Because of course, her husband knew about the spoon. Ok, so I'm writing my own episode, here, but that's the fun, isn't it?

I don't think anything you've said negates the possibility. The homeless lady isn't aware of TY and SC switching. She had her own spoon, and may not have all of her memory, just as TY doesn't have all of his. Claims of his mother's death could be a cover-up by his father.

Except the kids are supposed to be in their 30s, so...She's the same age as the other parents.

Yes, that's where I thought it was going, and didn't want them to switch back. Until the end of ep. 14 I thought they are all better off where they are. I still kind of hope they don't switch back, but I feel better about it now if they do. It will be the result of some real soul searching instead of just puppy love.

I bet the crazy homeless lady is Taeyong's real mom.

He was stabbed like 5 or 6 times. Surprised he could manage to speak.
