I wanna say LOL because ... you are taking on global sexism LOL .... but yeah, that is a goal... For now, I think…
There is a way out. There is no reason why writers can't show the evil tropes of a female lead being deceived and taken advantage of, while at the same time showing her with the ability to see through the deception and not easily gaslighted. She can be respectful to her in-laws without becoming a servant in their household.
They can still write an intense, suspenseful drama, they just have to be a lot more creative and resist writing the same script over and over again while only replacing the actors.
Jae In doesnt know about her husband. She is in blind love... as a typical spoiled naive rich girl who got her…
The doctor seems to have something going on with her father, and we don't know what that is yet, but she seems to indicate that's why she is sticking with her worthless husband.
As I have watched this type of drama, I am starting to get to the point where I don't feel sorry for what happens to the FL at all. It is very frustrating watching someone be so naive and clueless until they lose everything, including family members and children, because they refuse to accept or acknowledge any of the many clues that something is off.
I can't even root for their comeback because even though they are being portrayed as a victim, the portrayal is often presented in such a way to indicate everything is their own fault. So when I see scenes where the villain laughs in their face and declares they should have paid attention to what was happening around them, I find myself agreeing.
I am trying to hang in there with this one, but the weak, naive, and easily fooled female lead roles drive me up the wall. It makes no sense why Jae In and the doctor are even putting up with their husbands.
From the 109 preview, it appears my prediction of Sang A finding the POA first may not come true, but Chu A does come to Seon Ju and So U for help. Sang A is the next one to try to kill her Dad. Next week, things should heat up. Still have those birth secrets to come out.
I hope this doesn't happen, but I got a feeling Sang A will use the superpower of deduction that the writers have always given the villains and figure out where the POA is, and go to Seon Ju and So U's workplace, search and find the POA in seconds. No one will be there, of course, and Sang A already goes in and out of there like she owns the place. This is a K-drama after all.
Chuah’s woken up and realized sang ah’s out to kill her dad and bonus she hates her mom too 👏 😂 and…
As far as the actor seeming to break up with MJ in the preview just remember this may be true and it may not. The previews are often misleading and those 2 already have a history of conspiring together to pull deceptions on family.
