It's basically the Western version of the "poor people loft" (usually inhabited by hot students or sexy cleaning ladies). In K-dramas, potentially poor MLs live in those lofts. Poor Korean FLs are allowed to live in smaller apartments.

Meeee. I've suspected that since the first encounters between her and FL because she's so nice to FL despite not knowing her (apparently), and we briefly saw her burn scar. Since it was mentioned that FL's mom had died in a fire, I don't believe that the scar is a coincidence.

If a ghost appears only occasionally, I'm very willing to believe that it isn't there in certain moments.

I agree. Her character was so interesting in the beginning but, unfortunately, she was basically dropped like all the other interesting characters, apart from FL and ML.

The last few episodes felt so draggy as if the writers dropped parts of the original story in favour of more romance scenes. I waited a few days until I watched the last episode because I didn't feel invested anymore. The only reason why I didn't drop this drama after a few episodes in part 2 were the actors. They did a phenomenal job.

I don't care if you call the actor ancient. You don't have to like him but please do everyone a favour and don't pretend that the FL was some barely 18yo woman. She's 32 years old. Depending on how old you are, her age is probably closer to ML's than yours to hers. She's basically ancient, too.

What bothers me most about the ending is the way how LJH survived. Nam Yeon-jun allowed him to escape. He claimed that he and his men had thrown all corpses into the ocean, yet none of the witnesses told anybody about LJH even though this was a super important mission ordered by the king himself. Makes totally sense after everybody told the king everything all the time, except in this specific moment.

I too felt that significant parts of the story were suddenly changed after a few episodes in part 2 because certain storylines (Captain Gu, for example) were dropped out of the blue for the sake of new storylines (e.g. the princess's) which were dropped for not just one but TWO amnesias. Parts of LJH's background (his family) were repeated multiple times without telling us anything new, only to reveal the whole story in the last episodes within a few minutes while talking to his dad. Instead of the first amnesia, the writer could have explored LJH's story instead of rushing through it in the last episode.

Personally, I liked FL's growth in part 2 because it made sense to me. She grew up in an idyll where all men wanted to marry her, and when the barbarians came, she learnt that most of those men died and her beauty didn't mean much anymore. She saw the suffering and dying of people around her and learnt that life was precious.

However, I was fairly baffled by ML's sudden character change because, in part 1, he made it clear that he didn't care about anyone but FL (and Ryang-eum). He was already used to war and didn't experience anything new. Nevertheless, in part 2, he suddenly saved everybody he could without hesitating. No explanation for his change of mind. Honestly, I liked the morally ambiguous ML better. :(

I'm disappointed too. Part 1 was sooo good, and part 2 started promising but it felt as if the writers changed significant parts after a few episodes.

They dropped the story line of interesting characters such as Captain Gu (he was portrayed as a skilled sword fighter in part 1 and started interesting in part 2 but, suddenly, he was like "bye, Gil-chae", and that's it). Rang-eum was suddenly blonde and in jail? How did he get that hair colour? Lee Jang-hyun's friends were killed within seconds in the last episode, only he "magically" survived. And many years later, Gil-chae discovers that he's still alive but has got amnesia??????? Many years later??? Since part 1, it had already been many years that had passed by, and the writers added even more years on top of those many years. Gil-chae and Lee Jang-hyun must be old. Yet, they still look as young as in episode 1.

I too wished they hadn't forced the romance so much because those romance scenes felt rather draggy. I already didn't like the amnesia episode where Lee Jang-hyun got back his memory right in time when the episode ended. And then, the writers used the same trope again.

Part 2 makes me "angry" because the writers proved with part 1 that they are very skilled and experienced.

I agree. Furthermore, the crown prince is one of the few people in this drama who had a significant character development. At first, he was fairly arrogant and naive but he became wise. I'm sure he would have been a good king.

I like that he looks rather ordinary compared to more popular and younger actors. Also, I don't want to see the same few faces in each single drama. In my opinion, the actor does a good job, especially in the romantic scenes.

It's no coincidence that the plot reminded you of "Blind Date". The K-movie is a remake. :)

Well, only if you ignore that the ghost also could have monitored her on the toilet. I can't stop wondering if he left the room in those cases. ^^

Since the video was on the smartphone, there are certainly copies, so the father could certainly watch it at a later juncture. I'm always surprised that people forget that digital files are not like rolls of film.

I understand the father's behaviour. Unlike FL's family, ML's aims for peace and harmony even if it means to forget about the past and to move on. However, I'm certain that even they will realise that they gave JW more than enough chances to contribute to that goal but JW has always refused.

That's exactly what FL's mom said in episode 1: FL is/was an annoying people pleaser. She was tolerated by the mom while FL seemed to be a nobody. We also saw how FL basically guilt-tripped Yoo Se-hyeok into a relationship. He seems to be the light male version of her. Before FL got her second chance, she was fairly delusional and naive.

After she got the second chance, she had knowledge of her past life while her mom, sister and everybody else only knows her former self and treats her this way. It makes sense that those bad people constantly try to push her over.

Poor grandma just wants peace before she dies. She doesn't need to watch the video to know it's true. Do-guk has always been a good boy, so I think she never believed that Do-guk tried to kill his brother.

I don't think that you can always tell. "Not super nice" does not automatically mean "no nose job at all". In fact, many Asians have fat noses and get a "nose reduction". That does not mean that you always end up with a creepy line and/or a wall socket in your face. If this actress got a nose job, her surgeon did a good job because her nose looks natural and suits her face well.

I recently watched Penthouse, and her role in Perfect Marriage Revenge reminds me of her character in Penthouse 1 when she was "best friends" with the bullies.

What exactly do you mean by "actually"?

Don't worry. I understood that you just expected a more creative solution because you found this one a bit lazy/lame. As for me, I thought it made sense, so it was creative enough for me. In the end, the story must go on. I don't need another dragging drama. Now that the "secret" about their marriage has been revealed, they have nothing to hide anymore and focus on more interesting things. :)

That's true. Her doctors did a good job. She looks great "for her age" and also quite cute in some scenes, not like a granny who desperately tries to look like she were in her 20s. She is even able to show a range of facial expressions.

There isn't much to the story. FL wants revenge and falls in love with the guy who is helping her. The bad people in this drama want to detroy FL and ML. Your questions are on point. You listed the key charcters, and that's exactly who we are supposed to pay attention to. They are the obstacles for FL and ML to overcome, and that's most of the story.
