I was thinking a lot about this daily and I think the captivating factor here is that the drama looks totally real. Actors are really INTO IT, as if they were really those characters and these were just scenes from their daily lives. (well the Chef gotta get there too, he yanks me out of the story, but everyone else is already there). Even the golddiggers. They are hilarious :) and Chairman is sooooo shrewd....

After thinking a lot about what makes a drama so captivating, it is really how much the actors are into it, how "honest" they are about being in their role and not just pretending they are something, but BEING their character. When they are soooo "as if they are the character" then we the audience automatically get pulled into the story.

I have no formal training in acting or making films/dramas or scripts, only the intro class in Improv Comedy, so everything I am saying is not technical, it is basically from my observations...

I just notice, when an actor is ... determined? I dont know how to describe it - DETERMINED to be that character, really INSISTING on being that character, FULLY COMMITTED to BEING that character, something magical happens bc you are automatically pulled in to watch them.
So in this drama I get that from Seo Rim and now from Jang Mi too, from Baek Ho and from CEO Chae, who makes my skin crawl the second I see her or she opens her mouth LOL she is very real to me LOL her hypnotizingly overly sweet bs is just .... like an emergency alarm to me LOL she pushes all my buttons as DANGER!DANGER!DANGER! lol lol lol

I think the key for me is the FL actress, who is just super convincing and really fun as Seo Rim, and in the latest episodes, quite convincing as Jang Mi too. JM is not so dull anymore, so she seems more like a real person rather than someone trying to act as a dumb person LOL
Plus, after meeting SR, JM is now getting woke :) and almost kissed Baek Ho.... :) That scene was sooo cute and so real. Baek Ho is so real, too. In fact, I think that is one of the key things, he seems real. He is on the screen a lot and making the drama look real bc he looks so natural. I am sure you know someone like Baek Ho. "the good guy next door", or family, friend or colleague That actor is really making that role seem real and "familiar". I never saw the actor. I only see Baek Ho. To think if it, that is an amazing actor, totally totally camouflaged. For FL, I know it is an actress but I am sooo sold out on her role. For her, it is like I am agreeing that she leads me down the path of the story. I know it is an actress but she says "watch me!" and is leading us down the lane and showing us stuff and it is all as if real. That is a great skill too...

For the murderer criminals, since most of us do not know any murderers personally - I hope!!!! the criminals are harder to imagine but CEO Chae and her lapdog are pretty convincing. I am now rethinking what I just said bc I DO know sweettalking lying snakes like CEO Chae and I know some of their misdeeds and now I wonder - how many ppl they killed LOL and what I do not know.... Actually....

after meeting SR, JM got a lot more ... spunky :) and almost kissed wtih Baek Ho, that scene was soooo cute!!!
First I thought it was already Seo Rim impersonating JM, so I was like whaaat - you stealing a kiss from her guy?? but then I realized it was a lot braver, more confident and realistic JM, who was NOT AFRAID nor holding back anymore. Yay, JM!!!!

ong ep 46! @TooEmotional was wondering about what Seo Rim will do to Baek Ho? It already happened,

SR said during massage that she wants to DUMP her mother on JM... what does that mean... ???

Seo Rim as Jang Mi is gonna be subject to murder, and Baek Ho too... But .. Seo Rim is smarter than JM so hopefully she will evade the murder attempts even if BH doesnt protect her

YES!!! both twins stay!!!! the lead actress is just AMAZING acting the two

He is EITHER a criminal OR special forces, and I am ... not sure yet..... but at the moment... am leaning towards "criminal"

Yes she became softer and Albert became more ... serious. Ep 10 had scenes with Albert's mean face and I was scared lol
Albert was smiling at Nora as if he likes her, Nora is a good pair for him. But arent they related...? Nora's mom is wife of Chairman. Albert is son of Chairman's daughter. But tehre is always adopted, cheaters, etc... so ..

Oh I forgot that - what happened with his mom? She was ... killed? So that's why Albert has to keep pretending he is a moron

I am not sure yet if Albert ***can*** take "the high voltage" that FL is... she has integrity and doesnt budge. Albert looks for roundabout ways that cause no trouble. BUT for a good reason - they are trying to kill him. Right now a killer is tailing him for real.
So I think Albert pretended all his life to be an idiot and not bring attention to himself as a possible competition. BUT NOW THE COMPETITION IS FOR REAL SO yeah Albert will have to come out of his pretenses asap

And so I think we will find what kind of person Albert really is

ML can take the high voltage but I am not sure he wants to.... . ML is sooooo ... soooooo .... murky.... . So far, he is unsuitable.
I had some suspicion ML is undercover special agent, in any case, he is actively engaged in criminal activities, and I now have suspicion he is just a plain old FINANCIAL CRIMINAL

Ah so much hype about sex trafficking etc but .. why is it happening? It is just THE TIP O THE ICEBERG. How about the iceberg itself.... ???? That is not so glorious but that is the iceberg...

WE ARE TALKING THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF ****SLAVERY**** where a woman is free labor and army-producing domestic animal, without property adn without any rights.
THIS SLAVERY WENT ON FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS!!!!! this is the oldest form of slavery... African Americans bitch about slavery but female slavery is 100000 longer and deeper....

Also, slavery of domestic animals... This idea that we can rope someone - animal, woman, black person, any person we dislike - slavery was practiced amongst ppl of the same color!!! Irish were slaves to Brittish... So anyways

THE ROOT IDEA IS THAT IT IS OK TO EXPLOIT SOMETHING THAT IS WEAKER
**** AS SOON AS IT IS WEAKER, I CAN GRAB IT AND USE IT FOR MYSELF *****

women could be exploited bc they are physically weaker and have babies.
black and Native ppl didnt have guns etc

So... it has to be solved at its roots....

Before you get into sex trafficking, you gotta talk about 70% salary for the same job.. No women in power positions... Barbie doll expectations... The language we use in daily life.. the Expectations in daily life... favoring sons over daughters.... and constant glass ceiling and imposter syndrome... you gotta talk about spending HOURS and $$$$$$ for makeup pantyhose clothes hair .... snagging men to get ahead... snagging other women's men... tripping other women... attacking other women....

AND THEN YOU CAN START TALKING ABOUT SEX TRAFFICKING and other things as expressions of the BASIC SETUP of how we people **** ARE ****

I wrote you a nice lesson to occupy yourself. If I hear back from you, I am blocking you bc talking with you is a waste of my time, I havent learned anything from you and I have to babysit you. So do NOT write back to me.

LOL here is this little girl without any real life experience.... It is obvious you have NO IDEA what you are talking about.

vinvenzo is a 100% hard core criminal and I cannot stand that drama glorifying his help. I take it as a makjang comedic effect and as a commentary of how desperate the low pions are for ANY help - Vincenzo as the godfather of a little girl... ??? common

If you dont take men seriously, then you are just the same as what you hate, and you cannot take women seriously. You need to look at the PERSON regardless of their external attributes - $, race, religion, gender, etc

Only then YOU can be called a human being.

Why do you think men were able to rule for thousands of years this cruelly so far? BC WOMEN ENABLE IT

Women like you, who just hate without doing anything to change
and women who plain straight foward support patriarchy

as long as you hate men - or women - or white people - or black ppl - or asian ppl - or chriants, muslems, hindus etc - rich ppl poor ppl city ppl village ppl - AS LONG AS YOU SO HATE ANYMORE and feel so powerless and also so special and superior, you will not move one inch forward

So I have nothing to talk to you about anymore. The issue of HATRED in your heart is a serious issue and will just burn you alive

So I am gonna block you shortly, I dont have time for this :)

Ok some stuff is clear and some is really murky :)
I am impressed with acting of Ms. Bok He - that actress makes Bok He sooo real. I am impressed with Ms Bok He too :) she is very complex...

Well every role in this drama is complex and seems so real :) Everyone acting in this drama is very for real.

At this point, I am not sure why Albert keeps smiling at Nora, he obviously likes her, and his smile CAN be a romantic interest or just friendship - ARE they related by blood?
And as I suspected, he knows who FL is - so .. is he still romantically interested in a very hard core hard working tough crude financial police officer.. ??? Imo Nora fits him perfectly!!!! but she is his relative.. Or is she? Is Albert circling Miss Hong bc he has some corporate business to do.... ? Albert is different now, he used to be this comedic lazy bum clueless guy character, BUT NOW, we get to see mean and calculating faces of Albert... At one point, I was really scared to look at him...

Nora's mom in that white blue dress is like ... whaaaat? Ah - like a rugby player LOL And we are 10000% Ms. Song is just a hard core CRIMINAL. So there is no more questions about that..
and we know who Yahppee is - a fake! wow what a disappointment...

ML seems like a professional financial criminal, special forces on the side of crime. not on the side of the law :( That actor is soooo good about microexpressions and subtle acting with his face..

The IT guy from ex-office is ... interesting. He keeps catching my attention bc I have a feeling he knows something.

Albert keeps smiling at Nora... why? Like he is having a crush on her. But arent they relatives?

I was going to post too, I really am ***impressed*** with acting of that actress. it is PERFECT. Ep10 had me speechless

Ms. Bok is real

she has :) She spied on Mr Kang and got him killed bc she said he is seeing some woman... she took the ledger, etc... she is a thief. BUT she is humane too.
I really am ***impressed*** with acting of that actress. it is PERFECT. Ms. Bok is real

who is lee min ki? sorry, I am so bad with names There is Mr Lee from IT department... but he does not have deadpan expressions... he is so in love with Miss Hong ... and ... imo he is hiding something :)

He is perfect or this role! he is a very very very great actor for subtle expressions but he nails them down so well.

Nah The criminal comes ***first*** so his love for her is just an obstacle in the way of whatever he is doing. I was toying between criminal activity and an undercover agent of some sort, but I am leaning towards criminal at the moment

that ... space suit? superhero outfit? that Nora's mom is wearing is like ... gagggg!!!!
