EK also made me cry with that letter. EK turning into a psycho is giving me “Fatal Attraction” vibes. Her Obsession with CW. That laugh. She does not need to go after CW. She can find herself a better guy. I don’t condone what she is doing but I partly feel sad for her She needs to see a psychiatrist and get help.
"To ensure better production" Maybe writer Moon Young Nam revamped the script/plot that they need to reshoot the episodes again. I am saying this because TV Chosun has not released any new stills for the next episodes. Usually they do.
I feel attracted to this drama week after week, like I can't really root for anyone even Ba Da is not as goody…
That is my favorite part of this episode so far. Dae Geun's dynamics with his Hyung and Nieces. How they went full force to help find his daughter Eun Byeol. DG is my favorite character now. Despite being equally damaged like the rest of this family, for me he is the one who I considered the most sane.
I just hope whatever plans EK has for BD will not harm her along the way especially her family and make them suffer the consequences of her actions.
Seo Ji Hye been slaying the role of the evil EK so well that I am actually very scared of her for BD, BD's Mom and even for CW. That evil glare of hers.
The nosebleed scene made an appearance again. Now I am really coming into a conclusion that the writer turned EK how she is now because she does have a terminal illness. Not a route I would want for EK.
Also BD's high school guy friend told her "How can I forget our time in Italy together" might mean they slept together and the possibility that he is their daughter's biological father.
I might be over thinking but when EK had a headache again while studying for her exams is making me think she might have a terminal illness? She also had a headache and nosebleed on the previous episode I would hate it when the writer will take us to the illness trope. If that happens, RB will really be a certified Makjang Drama
Personally I love Kiss Sixth Sense. Though the last 2 episodes were a mess. Same with Adamas. So plot wise yes,…
SJH is just a victim of bad plot/drama scripts Her recent dramas where she was the FL such as Dinner Mate and Kiss Sixth Sense endings were a let down and did not do well in ratings. That is why people are questioning her drama choices assuming she does not pick good scripts Though Dinner Mate had a massive international fan following and Kiss Sixth Sense was one of the top 10 shows in Disney Plus in Asia. I did watch both and I think SJH is amazing in RomCom and should continue doing romcom I just think she is not getting offers for good scripts as she was always typecasted in cold, snob roles. Maybe she just picks scripts where she can show her acting prowess and that is why she picked Red Balloon. Eun Kang(her character in Red Balloon) is intense, complicated and mysterious On her next drama, I want it to be something better in terms of plot / good script. She is a great actress and her talent deserves to be recognized globally. Ieumhashtag(SJH's Agency), how about a movie for her next project?
I think in the end, no-one would endup with anybody
I am ok with that. Someone mentioned the drama's writer mostly have ambivalent endings. I am ok with that too even with open ended endings. But more importantly, I hope we get the character development we need in the end.
I just wish that the viewers will not rate the drama based on their "personal opinion and preference" Family Drama / Melo Drama / Majkang is not a genre liked by the majority I get that. If you don't like it, it's ok to drop it. But it's not fair to judge and rate a drama just by watching 1-4 episodes. We need to give the story and characters a chance to redeem themselves. Also RB is not getting enough promotions on OTT platforms such as VIKI and VIU while it is doing well domestically in SK. Maybe because of the Genre. Oh well
Why on earth did Han Ba Da gave the rings to the terrible human being to marry someone else but her friend?
Because BD does not really consider EK as her Friend. Just her Errand Girl. Worst, Maid Her past is very suspicious to me. I hope we get to know more about her and CW's relationship in the next episodes. I really have a feeling their daughter is not CW's. She got pregnant by another guy and lured CW to marry her because of her pregnancy and family's financial woes.

She is phenomenal as EK
But I am trying very hard not to hate her character 😊
Just be warned you might not like her character.
