Don’t do it writers… just don’t do what I think you are planning to do. I know that you have about 36 more episodes to go, but if you plan to fill it with the separation of KY and YI, so that crazy Hae Mi and her equally crazy parents can be happy, it will be a shame. You got featuring a good plot SJ and high heels and that paternity drama. Just write Hae Mess and her parents out of the script. Send them abroad so Hae Mess can get the help she needs to heal. And, also get her mom and dad counseling help too. They could each benefit from intensive Family Therapy.
If this was a real life situation Hae Mi would never get better because everyone is contributing to her craziness and re-enforcing her delusions about Kyrung Jun. In short, they are her enablers. I do not like the direction this show is heading. Too bad, I really like the two leads. They are as much a victim of these delusional writers as we, the viewers, are. The messaging that if you have a tantrum, act crazy and attempt suicide you get to have your way is not working for me.
I agree with all of the comments, particularly the one about suicide is no joke. Hae Mi maybe a smart woman, but she is emotionally and now mentally unstable. Her parents blaming Young I for the decision their daughter made is beyond stupid. So, the writers may be over the top with the way the parents are being portrayed. Sure, I would not like that you hurt my child. But, you have to be in relationship first. Any romantic ideas were always expressed by Hae Mi. They all know this. So, writers please resolve Hae Mi’s and her parent’s unrealistic attitude towards KJ and YI.
I am really hoping for a happy ending for Young I and Kyrung Jun, and his brother. Eun Jin’s brother needs to find another woman and Hae Mi still needs to be committed because she is one crazy….
I wonder when Jang Kyung Joon will lose his memory? 😅
Just as you predicted memory loss is a key factor, but it is not Jang Kyung Joon. We now know why Kyung Jon’s brother can’t sleep at night and why high heels is panicking. I will not go through 30 episodes of Young I hating Kyung Joon because of his brother. And, I’ll be very upset if Hae Mi gets to marry Kyung Joon behind this upcoming crises. If this starts to look like the Love Twist drama, I will drop this show.
Just watched the most recent episode (Internal Investigation episode). All I can say is that the writers must be channeling their inner Hae Mi because for the last 10 episode they have been viciously torturing and belittling us viewers. And, slapping us in the face😡. Really President and Vice President? You know Hae Mi undercut your company, but you plan keep it a secret and do nothing? You want this idiotic, and as you called her irrational and reckless woman , as a daughter in law and keep her in a position of authority. Wow. So, anytime she has a personal vendetta she will use your company to serve her needs and your company on the legal liability chopping block. As soon as I found out that she sold us out as the head of a company in the business to make money and improve the Brand, Hae Mi would be FIRED.
Everyone has been coddling Hae Mi as if she is a victim when in she is a conniving, hateful and manipulative psycho. I don’t like that the real victim is being portrayed as the scheming vixen. Please writers don’t wait until the last two episodes to vindicate YI.
Wow. Who knew that you could mend a broken relationship by threatening the ex friend with more of the behavior that caused the break. Hae Mi takes being psycho to a new level.
Though I have been watching Kdramas for a while now, I find it somewhat difficult to do reviews as I am not well versed in Korean cultural nuances. However, for this Kdrama I want to discuss my thoughts about what I have seen so far. I have seen all episodes up to episode 69.
First, I think that the storyline is good. Although it is the familiar rich guy meets poor girl and falls madly in love I find that because each of the actors are playing their roles consistently and with such vigor it makes this familiar plot interesting to continue watching. I really enjoy watching the interaction between the main characters, but I find myself hissing and screaming at the TV. This is because of the male leads’ stepmom and the second female lead’s shenanigans against both the ml and fl. I find the character development right on point. I based that on if I feel any emotions towards a character. For this show, I have some strong emotions when watching some characters. I really do dislike the main bad characters and really like the main good ones. With the exception of the grandfather, grandmother, the housekeeper and her daughter, I find many of the support characters (Do Sik, Do Young, and Eun Ho are either frustrating or annoying, or both. The busy body male co-worker, I find exceedingly annoying but, the female co-worker is the only one that I find to be downright boring. Min Ri Nae is just too cute and a very good actress.
The main leads finally acknowledge and accept their feelings towards each other in Episode 54 and it was gratifying and a torturously slow ride that I think should have been done early on. The slow pacing is a weapon that I think writers use to keep us salivating for the next episodes, well it works quite well. I am eager to see how things turn out for each main character, especially with this new development surrounding the sml and his mom. I have an idea what the new development about the sml is leading to and I don’t it, we’ll see.
Each character’s role is clear, but some relationships confuse me. I get really confused by the parental and in-laws relationships. For example, the relationship between the fl and her in-laws mystifies me. To me, the fl is treated like a maid to everyone in the household. She is not treated as a loving member of the family. With the exception of the grandmother and Min Ri Nae, the other family members treat the fl like their servant. The fl is only considered a family member when they want her to side with them about an issue they caused. What’s worst is that her mom and dad-in law often blamed her for the problem(s) their adult children create. Also, she is expected to accept their put downs and disrespect without question. Is this type of treatment a normal part of the Korean culture? I am surprised that the fl’s mother-in-law is so angry with her for wanting to be happy, or did I miss something? Is the mother-in-law angry because the fl did not get her permission to date? Does she expect her daughter-in-law to live with them forever as a lonely subservient widow? A side note, I find the father-in-law to be just a subservient as the his daughter-in-law. He has his good moments and shows some compassion and vulnerability. In some ways he is just as much victimized as the fl.
As for the parental relationship, I find it interesting and unrealistic that parents can impose their will on who their adult children can or cannot marry. Of course, a parent should want the best for their child. But, there is clearly a difference between wanting the best for your child and imposing your will on what that best is or isn’t. In that regard, the ml’s parents and the sfl’s parents are truly despicable. As for high heels I have the popcorn ready cause I think that the jig will soon be up for her. I won’t even comment on the ml’s father. On the the other side, I had high hopes for the sfl’s father, but after these last few episodes where he gives in to his daughter’s insane fatal attraction to the ml, I’ve lowered my respect for his character down to zero. Just how in the world could wanting the best for your daughter include forcing a man to start a romantic relationship with your daughter who he plainly and unequivocally told you his feeling for her are akin to being a little sister or a friend. Then the sfl father actually starts (on a small scale) to collude with her by asking other people to speak to the Chairman on his daughter’s behalf. What!!!! Didn’t the Chairman already tell Dad that they should let them solve their own issue. Writers come on now. This fatal attraction scenario is not good where the parents are included in the scheme. If your folks have to force you to love me, I don’t want your ass. Anyway, I can see why the sfl is a looney toon, the woman who plays the mom character for the sfl is doing a great job in her role as the looney, status seeking mom. I enjoy seeing her get in her daughter’s way at every turn.
While I can’t stand the frustration that I feel while watching some of the episodes, I think that the writers have done a good job in getting me to be emotionally attached (whether good or bad) to the characters. Writers, please don’t blow the relationship between the ml and fl with some trivial BS. And, please get the sfl some psychiatric help. I do not feel that a sudden love interest between the sml and the sfl will resolve all the crap that that woman has done for the last 59 episodes. With her latest efforts to sabotage the fl and in the process sacrifice her own Departments performance review, there should be no way for her to ever be trusted in a position of authority. Also, the sfl told her direct boss, the sml, that she will never stop trying to break up the relationship between the ml and fl. The sml KNOWS that she is an unhinged loose cannon that has sabotaged not just the fl, but the company yet she is still employed in a position of authority. Again, come on writers I know that you can write better than this. Someone in that Company has to know what she has done, is doing and what she is going to do. Well, those are my thoughts. I finished the 69th episode and I can hardly wait to see how the 70th episode is going to play out. Pass the popcorn please.
