Okay so one of the side couples has an unplanned pregnancy but it low-key felt like baby trapping. This really ruined the couple for me and after that I comoletely started skipping their scenes. Also her new mother-in-law knew her because she's a part timer who she almost treats like a daughter. She encourages her to go to the parents of the man who impregnated her, saying that he and his parents should take responsibility and what not. But once she finds out that the man in question is her own son she does a complete 180 and refuses to accept her. She does accept her in the end but that's like several episodes later. Either way it felt very hypocritical, but then again she did baby trap him so eh...
Another thing that bothered me was how the main couple rushed their relationship and got married so quickly. They both have children from a different relationship and they didn't reallt give their children a chance to get used to the changes in their own pace. For example the the male lead and his kids are still very close with the parents of his late wife and are very well off. Like they even live together, but after he gets married he moves in with his new wife and her kids in a small apartment and completely cuts off any relationships with the grandparents. So the kids suddenly have to get used to not seeing their grandparents who they saw daily and not being able to afford everything they wanted like before. This really ticked me off especially since the main couple was acting like their children were the problem.
So these are my personal biggest problems with the show. Other than this I found the drama very enjoyable. The acting is decent and the characters or at least some of them are really fun to watch and encourage in their struggles. I think, I'd still recommend it
Oof. I enjoyed it, but for me it wasn't a complete masterpiece. There were characters I really enjoyed but there were also some tropes that I'm not a fan of.
Also somehow with 54 episodes they still managed to not have enough time to finish every storyline.
There are like 4 couples (plus one cheater couple and her mother, who get a lot of, like a lot of screentime) and 4 sets of in-laws who are all related to each other through either family or friendship. I wish some couples had more screen time than others but oh well...
if you want a more detailed explanation with spoilers I will put it down here...
praying for the day that Japan will stop the "seeing a woman next to a man from a distance and then assuming that she must be his girlfriend" trope, cause good god I'm so over that
Hi, sorry do you have the English name of the novel or where can I get translations? I can't find it!! Thanks,…
No problem. Though, remember to use an ad blocker when you go on that website they use a shit ton of redirect ads. Oh and when you are reading a chapter and want to go to the next chapter use the green button and not the purple "next chapter" button. The purple one will get you to the next chapter but it will open it in a new tab, the green button won't.

I came across it under the name "Awakening Love: Reborn to Be His Duchess". They use westernized names for the characters but the story is exactly the same as the drama. I found it on crushnovels
watching this for the first time and the inspector did not have to die at episode 12/24. Absolutely bullshit, the ml was already on his way to him, he could have told the sml to go to the victim and fml, but nooo he had to play hero for the fml. This death was way too forced
Until the 72nd minute, the sfl is only know as Ma Do Jun's wife. It isnt until the 72nd minute that her name is mentioned. I watched the whole 1 hour and 49 minutes and yet I cant help but feel like I mist 30 minutes of exposition. Each character is so unfamiliar that Im not even sure who I'm watching and why they decided to do this and not that.
been reading the novel after watching the drama and long time ago. The age gap is so much clearer and awkward in the novel that I'm not sure what to make of it...
I just dont get why the demons killed the criminals and made it look like a serial killer. Supernatural beings usually do things while hiding away from human eye but when they attack the criminals right after their trial and burn them all with the same mark there's no way humans won't notice that or leave that alone. Also if demons are supposedly so unfeeling and uncaring for human suffering then why are they taking their time to make the criminals feel the same pain as their victims? Shouldn't hell be the punishment of their bad deeds? So why dont they just kill them in their sleep or wait till they die as they were destined to?
The characters do so many things that feel out of character or unnecessary that I genuinely can't even feel satisfaction over the criminals receiving punishment.
