Yes, nothing original about it, it's already been done dozens of times, and better, too.

I hope including badly written commercials for kpop groups in dramas isn't going to become a trend, because so far, both of the times it's happened have been abysmal.

Zheng He Hui Zi is her name, and she doesn't have as much experience as LXY, so it makes sense that she would be as good as he is. I really loved her in Ugly Beauty: although the show dropped the ball about halfway through, her performance was absolutely fantastic. I really wish she got cast more, she definitely deserves it.

ZHHZ is fantastic in Ugly Beauty. The show dropped the ball about halfway through, sadly, but her performance never disappoints. She plays two different characters in it. I really wish she would be cast in main roles more, she definitely deserves it.

Precisely. I read the webtoon as it was releasing, so I never got the feeling that it dragged, and I absolutely loved it, but this adaptation isn't working at all for me, they changed way too much, and strayed from the beautiful karmic justice the webtoon served all around.

The webtoon is fantastic (way better than the drama imo), definitely worth a read!

The best part about the accident is that he sabotaged the car's brakes himself, planning for Soo-Min to die so he could get her life insurance. Except she killed his mom in the hospital, so he rushed there when he heard the news, forgot about what he'd done, and died on the way. Karmic justice at its finest.

That would have actually made sense. Too bad they decided to deviate from the original in all the worst ways.

It's very common, unfortunately.

I feel like recent productions have been very bad, to be honest. They all drop the ball after episode 10 or so. It sucks.

After surviving so much, how could that useless puppet control him? The worst part is that ML will probably win by the end (god forbid the good guys lose at the end), but it'll be by no merit of his.

To each their own, as they say. I'm not enjoying it at all, but it's good that you are.

Me with Marry My Husband, basically. I really dislike it, but I can't wait for the episodes lmao

OMG, YES. That conversation where he told her he wanted her to focus on having kids and being his obedient wife even though the reason he fell in love with her was her strength and courage... I hated it SO MUCH omg. The writers destroyed this couple, istg this drama traumatized me. I loved it so much when it started but it really left an awful taste in my mouth by the time I couldn't take it anymore and dropped it.

Honestly, I don't know if it's because of how the censorship has tightened, but lately it feels like we're only getting copy-pasted dramas, just with different names and faces. Everything feels the same, and they all have the same issues (namely, terrible decisions, "strong" FLs who turn weak as heck as soon as there's romance involved, plot holes the size of an ocean, convenient stupidity,...). It's exhausting.

"Maybe they both should take over their countries, get married and unite as one."
Man, I can only dream of a world in which the scriptwriters have the guts to write something like that. It would be epic.

It's been my nightmare for years: they shout about a strong female lead, show you how badass she is... and then turn her into a moron who must ask for permission to breathe as soon as she falls in love. Exhibits one and two: The Song of Glory and The Legends. I was hoping this would be the exception to the rule, but it doesn't seem like it. I'm so tired of this bs.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, I noticed it as well. I wouldn't say it's unbearable, but it does lead to inconsistencies and plot holes. Like the door being open when she was bathing even though we saw her close it tightly five minutes earlier...

FYI, the novel got licensed in English and should be released in the coming months.
