This story is a mess of inconsistent insufferable characters.The Chairman, Chairman's biological son, The cop…
I have to say that neither Murim or Tae Ung characters and their relationships were written very well. They were 2 very dull characters. They didn't seem at any point to be that into their partners. If they had been more charming or even provided comic relief I think I could have enjoyed them more. But, both spent this series looking like they didn't even want to be in the drama as characters in the first place.
"The most useless character award goes to tae woong" got me rolling on the floor 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like it when writers give 2nd and 3rd couples completely different dynamic relationships than the main couple. This technique provides the viewer with a respite from the main couple's storyline even though they get way less screen time. The other couple may be more lovey-dovey from the onset or just flirt with each other endlessly.
This did not seem to happen in the drama. All the couples have been troubled from the beginning. Giving me at least, a sense of sameness. I don't enjoy them switching to the other couples' storylines because of this.
How about some light-hearted fun. Let's pick our top 3 most disliked characters. I'll go first with the obvious…
For me.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd: Chairman-Tossing his family like they were never anything to him in the first place. Force to pick two more it would be: 2nd:Tae Ung-Carbon copy of his A-hole dad. 3rd: Cha Rim-Gold digger vibes.
I gotta say they blow the tax evasion hate out of proportion. It's inheritance tax, which is a ridiculous thing…
Well, it's K-drama writing. They create rage out of the most ridiculous issues. Like an entire country would care about somebody they never heard of in their life evading any sort of tax.
she is portrait as the kind / open heart / benevolent cinderella
To me at least there is really nothing appealing about the doormat FL. I know K-drama writers cannot create enough of these type of characters so it is what it is. Everyone who cares about the FL can see her walked on daily and even called her out on it. You can see their frustration with her.
The saving grace for me with this character though is the few scenes so far that show us she is no dummy and is smart. I hope this is the way the writers are showing us how she will not lose herself, but slowly get stronger, more powerful and will be able to protect herself and love ones as the drama goes on.
Regardless of his continued presence in GH’s life, he has the right to know. Not make a decision for her though!
That's right. This does not mean she has to marry him, but the child has a right to know his or her father, and the father has a right to know he has a child. He also needs to take financial responsibility. Really expensive to raise a child anywhere in the world. As a single parent, it's even harder to make do.
Her parents should support her but let her handle this. She is going to face tougher challenges as a single parent. If she and MG can at least figure out how to co-parent it would be better for everyone involved.
The abuse the FL suffers is very hard to take. She won't protect herself. She has had several chances to do so and backed down each time. She gets mad at anyone else who tries to help her and gives deference to her abusers. I don't quite understand why she thinks she has to endure it. Her brother as an officer of that company had every right to file that complaint and for her not to understand that is absurd. She could end up dead due to her stupidity.
It's just killing me how naive the FL is. How can she not understand with everyone involved and all that's going on that MG will find out about the child? She must tell him herself and stop with the "baby has nothing to do with Mr. Seo BS."
Yea it's total BS, i mean i would of been seriously pissed if either of my girls ended up as a teenage mum, thankfully…
It sounds like you have a really healthy relationship with your children. The kind of relationship where they feel comfortable sharing things with you without fear that you are going to overreact and freakout when they tell you what is going on in their lives.
A lot of parents never learn the lesson that being overbearing and overprotective can cause their kids not to trust or want to confide in them. The kids then try to handle issues and problems on their own without the necessary guidance from their elders.
The way I see it is GH saw her mother having a really tough time dealing with problems and didn't want to add to her worries. But, if she had been confident in mother being able to handle it she could have sat her and her father down and let them know what was going on in her life.
I agree with your points above.And yes GH should have told her mother sooner, especially that’s she’s decided…
About him not showing he has money. I am not sure if it was an actual plot hole or he didn't want show he had money to keep the ruse up with grandma about his ID as Holly.
The FL's mom cannot be that dense she can't see the kid is missing his not-so-responsible mom (who is a doctor by the way) and is acting out. It's not HD's fault and her son is about as helpful as a teapot full of holes in the situation. Even his own kid at that age can tell how useless and lazy the guy is.
So, DS being Holly is messing with MG's plan to replace him as head of the company so he may get ruthless now. He doesn't know about the baby yet and he has to tell the Chairwoman he is marrying Angry Kang. I can't stand his father, and I wonder how much MG knows about his father's interference with DS' mom.
It was not MG's mom's place to tell GH's mom about her pregnancy and that's why I was disappointed GH didn't confide in her mom in the first place. Keeping secrets from people who should know the information never works out well in K-dramas and also every time some third party spills the tea first.
I also wish GH's stupid dad would tell Audrey what happened with her husband's death so she can have something to fight back with. He probably killed him by accident responding to a call. I hope he wasn't drunk driving at the time or anything like that. Audrey needs to stop running. DS finds out he is not going to let her just leave him again.
I don't know how the DS will react to the pregnancy but I bet he tries to protect her rather than get angry at her. Of course, he is going to have to deal with Angry Kang and MG.
Still don't know why they chose "My Merry Marriage" as the English title of this drama. Maybe it will make sense at some point.
everyone sitting around talking while she does all the work
They were all sitting around backstage at the show talking about how GH was working her butt off. Not one of them offered to help or even find her to see if she needed any help.
