Lucia and TK should not have been relying on Stella so much in the first place. They don't seem to make their own plans, even when they have meetings about making their own plans. Even when it does look like they came up with something, there is rarely any follow-through.

I can't count the times a scene has shown TK sitting at his desk and looking blindsided by some information he has just learned. There have been other scenes of Lucia just sitting at her desk doing nothing until the lawyer or Gyeong Chae comes in and starts talking smack, to which she rarely has an answer.

Anyway, I hope they get in the game soon.

It will be her own fault to an extent.

I wonder if we will somehow get Manager Kong, Gyeong Chae mystery they have been dropping hints about, settled first, and if that twist is introduced, it will prompt Stella to finally wake up to do some due diligence instead of just accepting the word of proven liars.

Hang in there. It's got no choice but to change soon.

I prefer they make them all 100. 120 is way too often more episodes than they actually have a story to tell. So, they veer off into silly stuff instead of using the extra episodes properly to flesh out more details. They could also use the extra 20 episodes to give characters more depth so they don't appear one-dimensional. I think it adds to the drama when we get the impression that a character is not all good or evil.

The one character in this one I think the writers really hit and missed the mark with is Se Ri. She has shown actual growth and maturity. However, having her just mope around in her room most of the time, to me, is a waste of seeing her truly grow.

I have this feeling she is going to push Hyera into acting out in front of the family and making Se Hun and his sister think Hyera hates her and is abusing her.

She is supposed to be more savvy than this. The people seeking revenge in this drama have been so disappointing. So far, they have not taken any revenge, as they have been really lucky; things have worked out in their favor, even while they remain clueless about whom they are up against and to what lengths they will go.

The woman participated in kidnapping and holding her own father hostage because she wanted the company so badly. Stella knows this. Yet, Stella really thinks she wouldn't lie to her about a grandchild and couldn't possibly have another motivation for doing so. SMH.

I don't think that would stop her. JW is bound and determined to get what she thinks is revenge.

It looks like to me JW is up to some shady stuff already and she is doing it to deliberately piss her off. Also, it looks like JW is seriously going to go the pregnancy route.

How can Stella be this gullible and not see any red flags? She just learned of her (fake) granddaughter, and all Gyeong Chae can talk about is Stella helping her return to the company. She is going to be so hurt when the truth comes out, and it will be her own fault for not doing anything to verify what she has been told by people she knows damn well she can't trust.

The sad part is that's all totally believable because there are people in real life who would fall for this same manipulation. One thing is that they really do lie to people close to them, whom they should trust, because they fall for the con so hard. Just like Stella does with Lucia.

Yes, genres different from the Rom-coms. They are almost all the same, with just the actors changing. I am really enjoying the mystery, fantasy, and crime ones. They are at least different.

I really enjoyed the Guest, Save Me, Save Me 2, and some others. Right now, I am finishing up with Strangers from Hell.

There was one scene when they were alone and SR brought it up herself, but when Lucia started asking more questions it was obviously something she wanted to get off her chest but it was too difficult for her to continue the conversation.

Right. Lucia and Stella should assume the worst from GC & SJ and always suspect their motivations.

This type of writing is why AI will put human K-drama writers on the unemployment line. There is very little deviation or creativity in these dramas. Their only hope is the SK government stepping in and preventing it.

Yes, SR has come a long way, and is, at least to me, one of the more relatable characters in the drama right now. You can see in her attitude that she is very remorseful about her role in Miso's death. She was a teenager at the time, so her punishment will be having to live with her actions for the rest of her life.

However, you can also see that SR is still lost and struggling with not knowing who her mother is. Her family ignored her pain and left her to deal with it on her own. All to protect CG's reputation. So, it is probably why she lashed out, destroying things and hurting others. She received no guidance, love, understanding, or care. When she caused trouble, they just sent her off for someone else to deal with.

It is frustrating to watch Lucia and Stella fall into every trap and succumb to every manipulation when the story is supposed to be about them setting the traps and pulling off the manipulation. Even when odd and unexpected things happen, they have no clue that things are not adding up. The way this is going, it will continue this way until the very last episode.

I hate flashbacks. I watched one 8-episode K-drama where literally half of it was flashbacks, making me wonder why on earth they didn't just begin the drama in the past, and then jump forward to the present day for the end of the story.

As far as JW reconciling with her biological mom, her dad and his current wife decided to rob her of that chance by telling her bio-mom that she passed away and dismissing her explanation out of hand that she never intended to abandon JW but was in a major accident and incapacitated for months.

For JW's part, she appears to be unable to grasp the fact that her mother misses her terribly, and what happened in the past requires more explanation, as it may not be as simple as her mother abandoning her.

Of course, her mother's conduct was not the best to begin with, going to a man who told her to abandon her daughter.

Min Soo Sik and the Dimwits. They should start a band. Their hook would be Gyeong Chae crashing out on stage every night.

We got the B side writers.

I hate when they do those fake out scenes. Just get on with it. I think he will tamper also.

Another thing. The writers do this intercepting and changing of the DNA results to death. It's so predictable and boring.
