I hope writernim gives them a happy ending not a bittersweet or open ending after all the suffering we deserve…
I am dreading the ending bc objectively for that time period, ML cannot really marry the FL and then the two live happily ever after. Yeah one realistic ending is marrying the noble SFL as the real life and keeping FL jailed in the palace as his concubine. It is a disgusting ending in many ways, but the only possible if he keeps his title. If he does not keep his title, then ... how will he make a living... ??? and still, he is a noble, CAN he marry FL as his only wife??? It is really rotten choices any way you look at it. They are slaves to the "lion pack rules"
I know some people think the SML is strongly written, but I completely disagree. To me, he comes across as very…
Wow this is an amazing review!!!! I am impressed! I TOTALLY agree with you. I would add my 2 cents worth: it seems to me that SML was interesting only bc it is a very good looking young male actor who obviously has a large fan base, and those girls do not care for the role he is playing, they are just watching him for the sole purpose of swooning. The audience cannot see the role and does not care for the role...
I totally agree with you, the script did not spend much time painting his character and that is sad. We just got to see that he feels bad about himself and ppl who feed him, and yet wants to stay there and be rich at all costs.
I think the script thought that a few scenes from his father and brother saying what they think of him, and SML telling bs to FL, would be enough to make us believe in the path that made SML what he is. So you are saying it was not enough.
Are you saying it would have been great to show a few scenes of his mother or his father treating him as a child or something like that?
The script makes SML very violent, then start showing his good side bc of his "love" aka confused feelings for FL, and then bring him back to violence. So we as audience are left to make our own conclusions about SML feelings and inner workings and where exactly he has gone off to the evil side.
I think the SML actor acted pretty good for what he was given in the script, and was able to show the wicked side and the emotional side and the conflict quite well. I think that actor qualifies for ML roles, as he can act violence, pain, anxiety, love, care, internal conflict.
The funny thing is how earlier reviews by oppa_ are written by someone Asian whose English is not good and who wrote very amateur stuff, and now we have this art-critic-worthy essay in perfect English ...
WHO IS THIS OPPA_ REALLY? it seems to be a troll account .. ....
Ta da! The twins finally met face-to-face at the department store, the cliffhanger. It was also not an illusion…
Yeah Chef knows for sure he was adopted bc it was when he got leukemia and he was like 5 yrs old? So that is where that interesting dynamics is coming from - proessor's wife calls him 'son" and he is polite and calls them mom and dad - but he is icy cold to them and vitriolic towards Baek Ho. I really dislike how all of them treat Baek Ho
I see a lot of comments not liking SML here tho... me included ;D
what do you know :) I am certainly not looking at him as a 2-d person. he is complex. BUT I have no desire to study him :) I'd rather study someone nice :) I think the Prince Charming is a lot better complex person to study :)
I don't think the twins will die. Possibly they will take turns at fooling the evil mom and Manager Lee. They…
yeah there has to be taking turns bc it is too tough to film scenes with both of them in.... or is it? I saw a dancer who filmed herself dancing as 4 people... and she did not even have AI back then
Okay why are you insulting her weight y'all don't know how 🤔 strict companies can be? And the crying scenes…
you mean her management company? Well that kind of exploitation needs to stop. In the USA, fashion models must maintain minimum weight.
As for judging - those skinny ones are judging everyone else!!!! Every magazine, news, advertisements, etc has only super skinny people, so ... that small group is judging and fat shaming everyone else!! GET A GRIP!!!! Marylin Monroe is a FAT PIG based on those standards!!!!! Marylin is a healthy and sexy woman and she is considered a FAT PIG according to those "companies" you mention. This too skinny is a health issue, it is well known for athletes. Women cannot maintain their periods and hormones when body fat is less than 20-30%. HORMONES DO NOT WORK WITHOUT ENOUGH BODY FAT.
It is obvious that you are unaware of the issues. So consider yourself lucky that you got some info and now lets prevent those monsters forcing anyone to have less than 10% body fat. That is INSANE AND UNHEALTHY
I googled it: it's not gonna work to have Jang Mi going to the USA to become a Michelin Chef - it takes 10-15 yrs to do that. A realistic thing is 21 months of good culinary school and then 1 yr internship under a Michelin Chef. But Jun Ho is not a chef anymore ... so ... dunno how this route could work... Seo Rim going away with Suk Hee seems more plausible but .. Suk Hee will know it is not Jang Mi :) so will they tell her both are alive? ..... so dunno how this route could work... and why would they swap? Seo Rim dying is not an option LOL Seo Rim in a coma - no....
I really like Beak Ho, he is really nice kind gentle warm STABLE RELIABLE guy and has some brains, and the actor is acting that role very well and makes Baek Ho seem real. Hm, he is a better version of his dad... who also is a rather kind person, his reaction to the car accident shows it... but .. dad is too dumb naive and ok with morally shady and lying, and falls in love twice with snakes... Baek Ho has good taste, Jang Mi, although not a rocket scientist, is a good person and would make a wonderful wife in many ways, esp when she opens her mind and starts shining. Jang Mi and Baek Ho are a perfect match for each other - both are kind, dedicated, warm family ppl who arent the smartest but are adequate, who arent the visionaries but a stable foundation for the society.. So called "ordinary" family people.
Baek Ho is handsome too so overall, a nice and kind presence on the screen is welcome :) And "in" the screen too, his persistent help paid off. Jang Mi likes him :) he is a natural part of her environment. His plan worked LOL as usual. I have not seen a woman who did NOT fall for a dedicated loyal nice guy who was always there for her... he is nice, handsome and totally hers. I am glad she was smart enough to realize quickly that he is irresistible.
But to be truly her da man, Baek Ho first needs to grow up some, he is so naive and often quite dumb.. e.g. he found out Manager Lee went to buy soju and then he went to Manager Lee to ask him. I forgot the exact scene bc my jaw dropped and my eyes popped in total shock LOL I couldnt believe what I was seeing LOL
Really, imo the spunky colorful adventuresome Seo Rim is the smartest one and the most fun to me in the whole show. Without Seo Rim, the plot would NEVER EVER move forward. Everyone else is as slow and thick like molasses......
So we need Seo Rim in the drama, she lives and stays active... !
Jang Mi could never impersonate Seo Rim 100%, and vice versa. Jang Mi is a stable and steady caretaker mother hen. No risks, no deviations... her dreams and aspirations are rather "ordinary"... to be a Michelin chef. Jang Mi does not see herself shaking the world anew... Seo Rim is like a dragonfly, fast, refreshingly creative, unique, adventuresome, free risk taker and player. She will be perfect for the Chef to go to business meetings and banquets with, talk to customers, have big "on the bleeding edge" successful projects, etc. She is a shaker and mover with big bold visions. The Chef will be a good match for her, he has big bold visions too and is an adventuresome risk taker - how he hang out at the bad job bc he wanted to turn over the bad restaurant - he is a big man at heart, bold and fearless business person, but first he has to melt big time to match her. Right now, Chef typically annoys me, bc he is too ... stiff. The actor is too ... simple in his acting.
If there is anything we learned from Tae Puyng, it is not to assume that anyone who SEEMS = I think the keyword is SEEMS - to help us is a nice person meaning well...
Yes! Exactly. They showed us a ticket in eps 43. So this means something right? Will the smart twin bring her…
oh yes!!! Hm then... if SR and JM swap, the only possible way forward is for JM to act SR. But,,,, what can Jang Mi do better as Seo RIm than Seo Rim herself.... ? Swap makes sense if JM were a black belt or special forces... LOL but as is .... ??? Maybe something will happen with Seo Rim, like injured..? but then could she take care of SH in the USA... ??? Let's see :) Sky is the limit when the two finally meet AND ppl tailing SR see it :)
Overall, this drama is super cute! I love how it addresses real life and very deep serious issues in a compassionate, light, warm and comical way. It is like - ok we cannot escape this, let us deal with it the best we can. This drama is such a realistic yet positive and inspiring view of marriage and family
So yeah these 2 are gonna have to grow up real fast and learn not to yell and slam, not to forget the phone, not to ask Woo Ju to quietly sit and wait... :) aaaand... if they slip once in a million times, to be thankful if nothing goes bad and then try even harder. Because, with kids, one careless minute means stitches, anesthesia, hospital...and strife in the house leads to anxiety, lack of sleep, etc. and lifelong trauma. Kids are resilient, as long as they are loved somewhere and have some good food they will grow, but .... we should give them good environment so that they can become the best version of themselves.
It is so fun to read a good review of someone who is enjoying the drama :) Yeah thats why I like kdramas, they…
Yeah kdramas are now chasing $$$$ so kdramas got quite westernized Good start points are youtube How Netflix Killed kdramas by Asian Boss and youtube The micro drama pandemic of China I think Spring Fever did a good job and totally surprised me, Underciver Miss Hong is fun, No ail to Tell can be fun, To my Beloved Thief is quite deep. Idol I was great too, Haunted Palace, recently I saw masterpieces - Dream Lifee o Mr. Kim , ... so kdramas are alive and kicking. Positively Yours is pretty good too imo, I am enjoying Recipe for love on weekends. Oh there was Undercover high school - that was soo fun! There was some trash like Dynamite Kiss or Hundred Memories 2nd half, or latest Can this love be translated. I almost puked. . Crushology 101, the witch, sll missed it A Graceful liar should be called Kardashians... But there are plenty of great kdramas.

And ML is a crook stealing the company with his friend?
or is it? I saw a dancer who filmed herself dancing as 4 people... and she did not even have AI back then
Like this this is all one dancer ) without any AI :)
