Mid-way and the drama is disappointing to me…I understand why it’s been in a drawer for 2 years and maybe it should had stay there.
The plot-twists aren’t really making sense.
Most characters have 2 brain cells or aren’t remotely realistic.
The story doesn’t look like something written by an adult that has been in a real relationship…
It isn’t a funny satire about marriage and divorce
It isn’t a dramatic compelling story as any of the difficult challenges are told in a way that make you feel sorry or understanding of the characters.
It isn’t a slice of life on how to overcome couple crisis.
It isn’t a dark romance about falling again in love after literally reaching the point where you cannot stand the view of each other anymore.
I have no idea what they are trying to say or even if they had anything to say

Not every actor has a wide range and can play everything…everybody has strengths and limitations.
Instead of blinding fangirling you should open a dictionary and read the definition of prejudices.

Agree. He is violent and too aggressive. His behavior wasn’t appropriate neither with his sister or Seri or his nephew that he push on the floor
He was looking to kill the husband when he was in the army so I did not expect much sense from him

Thst was my first idea after the DNA test right at the beginning
And it explains her entitlement to that family and the business
It also matches Korean traditions. One official wife and concubines around… I got the 🤢🤮 each time I see that woman in the house …where she should not have any business to be

People are often surprised that I mentioned this drama only for the OST. I agree with you OST is its best assets

The beginning is very sad and many people are suffering, there are scenes of school bullying, 3 deaths…but now the comedy is taking over and it’s more upbeat. Most characters are more happy. Another trigger warning I know here some viewers are very sensitive about infidelity…there is here a branch of one family created after a painful separation. They really had their share of suffering for around 35 episodes. I found it does raise something interesting about Korean society but it’s obvious some viewers don’t like it.

I cannot remember the older ones you mentioned but compared to Recipe for love and Iron family is more melodramatic. As the ratings weren’t great (below 5% viewership) the drama has started changing to add more comedy…the drama focus on a 2 close circle families, the cast isn’t very extensive and it is not the typical daily drama, makjang. They didn’t took the road of the Clich revenge plot.
I personally find the 35 first episodes relatively enjoyable as I liked the Melos MBC used to do 15-10 years ago
As you liked many family dramas you can like this as
family is the major theme

It was awfully ridiculous

I am afraid we don’t talk about exactly the same thing. I hear your suggestion that some supporting characters are created only to make some kind of parenthesis in the story and make people react, make them cry, laugh or whatever. That cannot be the purpose of a character he ended up being some kind of a clown a cliche a one-dimension person. My mention about being useless is: does the character help to make the story progress, does the existence of the character has being thought (who that person is?) outside of cracking jokes….to me she is useless in the story and to the story, she has no purpose, no real function….but it’s my point of view and how I analyze characters in movie/book/serial…those situations are also part of the bechdel test to determine is a content is misogynistic.
But here EunSeo’s father is also in the same situations totally useless he is just here making faces and he is even worth at least she is gonna have that stupid romance
Is terrible when actor aren’t capable to see on a script the difference between small parts and useless parts. It’s better to book a guest role with one or 2 impacting scenes but a role that has in impact on the story than a support where you play the
green plant for weeks you just there…guest roles get also more money for a few scenes than those green plants.

I feel scammed by the promotional posters with Uee in her fitness attire. I was expecting an upbeat and positive character…For sure one of the worst family drama I have ever watch in my life and god knows the last years the family dramas were bad. . Most characters are despicable and annoying. None has done anything to deserve forgiveness at the end.
Since episode one I could not deal with granny garbage I wish there were a button to avoid all her scenes, poor old lady from picking food from the streets to her face plastered with white concealer without powder or anything to remove brilliance to her dirty teeth…I almost 🤢🤮 several times. Towards the end they slighty cleaned her teeth but god like around ep 40 way too late, who let her go on screen with that makeup too
Amongst the 3 brothers only the older one was someone decent the others were morons make you wish to be a unique child.
The mother since episode 1 is insufferable as granny garbage a button to remove all her scenes please. She literally gave me headaches with all her screaming, fake cry, constant complaining and all her nonsense…I wish the female lead was orphan seriously a mother like that I don’t wish it even to my worst enemy. Let’s not normalize to eat food that felt on the street. Disgusting old woman…
Unfortunately Uee was very annoying I don’t know why she always picked those depressing doormat part. Since High Society O have seen her in anything decent. The overall story is so Deja vue, full of the boring cliches. Love triangle, workplace harassment, dating scandal, forged books, Secret origins, chaebol battle for the business, forced marriage, disparaging act…the overall message is your family can mistreat you, scam you, deprive you of your future, basically do any shit to you but if they stick up it’s fine. As a woman you just have to endure it, shut up and keep loving them. Such a loud of crap. really bad a bad drama.
I cannot find one positive point about it to share

Those daily’s aren’t all written by the same writer, viewers taste evolve, Korean television has seen numerous changes these past decade too…I refuse to believe on
any form of fatalism

Blood type especially if he only knows his mother cannot be 100 proof of parenthood. I sincerely don’t know since the last 2 episodes where it’s going. The writer can be misleading
us. I am watching this one as I really like her previous work Chocolate

You have done researches I like it👍🙌👏

Sorry I don’t buy that as a justification for her reckless. Being caught because they add an extra lear of security, or because the villains outsmart the hero is one thing but being caught because you have a
poor planning is
another one
…but at least she is trying and not waiting to saved or even counting to much on that puppy lawyer

I don’t find it is good reason, or justification because she is a support character that she should not have a purpose. No involvement in the general plot or an interesting secondary plot. It’s just lazy Writing and borderline mysoginistic to put her here useless

A project is signed with a direction and a budget, if you change direction after a third of the program because you run out of budget you clear have no business doing project management.
You must be a mind-reader to know what I imagined about that drama… and a bad one.
The Im house, the hanok and the streets outside were from the beginning in a studio so changing how they are lighted is more a matter of taste than budget.
By the way Melo and makjang are two genres not all Melo are makjang…and people watch whatever they want and when they want

That baby situation is a bit strange. First time I saw the kid I was certain he was his son even thinking he looks more like him than her 🫪
Now I wonder if the friend she may the maternity gave her her baby…but it feels wrong who gives his baby to a jobless and broke woman with poor connection (she is nice but her family isn’t
her best asset).
Now I wonder if her bio mother wasn’t at the hospital and did something and took the baby if you give birth to dead baby you know it that announcement felt weird and sketchy, even for a c-section (as 66% Koreans do) it’s pretty fast and you are
awake and conscious
about what is going on
She has no money to buy one. Where did she find that baby?

Your interpretation about the dead baby was still right.
In my country I cannot put Ciki and Kocowa on my tv but I can access on my computer (or phone). I feel for you thst you have those limitations there are some nice old drama that can be watch only on Kocowa and Viki
I have nearly watch all the possible dramas available on Netflix in my country…but I am pretty certain it’s now quite expensive in many countries they keep increasing the subscription fees each year

There is no translation credit so they could use Ai
On those Korean channels YouTube the content is provided with also machine translation
Netflix, Prime use human there name are credited in each episode. Viki used to used none pro but it’s more and more machine…
I only have like 18 months of Korean learning so far to be an expert but I do notice some mistakes too…it’s even worst with other languages than English

You were right !!! where do you watch the drama? It seems more accurate than mine

He seems like Kocowa has deal with Korean channels to get the content with English subtitles included they only have a few hours delay from the Korean airing. Netflix, Viki, Prime, Disney have raw content so they have more delay as they need time to translate in numerous languages or even sometimes dubbed for Netflix and Prime.
