wait- I haven't watched it in like 2 years ago. I thought she did get a happy ending
She did. Her son came back to her at the end. It was explained by the actor on episode 17 that he missed his mother after a year so he returned to her side. :)
I'm at episode 6, and I believe this could have ended at episode 6. The ex-husband gets into the car with his new woman, drives away, and starts a new life with her son, but I see more episodes. What else could they possibly write about? Let's see how this goes. I don't see it getting better with 11 more episodes.
Update: Okay. It was necessary to add more episodes for the ex-husband's obsession story to be told. It's a roller-coaster of a story. She minds her business, and he pops back into her life with a vendetta.
I totally agree with your analysis. I’m additionally curious if there are people who don’t like this yet like…
"Go Ahead" came to mind, but I also read that in Asian culture that some families adopt their future daughter-in-law or son-in-law at a young age to groom the family culture from within. I found that interesting. So although Go Ahead would have been out of the norm for others, it may not be for all. I'm glad she could determine his feelings of love were his fear of losing a family and responsibility to protect her and not genuine romantic love.
Team Seo Eun Pyung--but there is no building up to him falling in love with Ra El. I'm confused. Brotherly love or romantic? Hmm. I hope Ra El doesn't go so far on the dark side that SEP can't help her get out.
"The child has grown so much." She is 30, and she looks 30. There is no making me believe anything else. So the daughters come into their power late, or is this just bad casting? Nothing against the actors' talent, but if you want me to believe, set the stage right. I'm only on episode 1. I'm going to give this a try because of Na In Woo.
Eh. He's not innocent either. He knows what Sora has done to the other women that were too close to him, and he…
I see your point, but I still wouldn't lose sleep over him. He could have packed his bags and hiked off into the sunset. LOL. It wouldn't be much of a story then, right?
He had a terrible childhood as an illegitimate son, but he wants to stay and be the CEO. He has a point to prove that he's not 'just' the son of a "lowly" maid (his father's words). No one is ever trapped, although we feel that way at times.
Example: if you want to quit your job tomorrow, you just don't show up. Our emotions of guilt, loyalty, and obligation will keep us in bad situations. He could have left his family that mistreated him and sold fried chicken and beer for a living. He refused to sign over his rights to the company and bolted out of his father's house. It's not about the money; it's about the power.
The primary victim is La El, but I hope her revenge doesn't ruin her.
IMO: The rating is maybe 8.4-8.5 because of the action scenes. I was excited at the beginning, and this it went plateau. Ultimately, the storyline did not take me where I wanted to go. It was a little sad.
Eh. He's not innocent either. He knows what Sora has done to the other women that were too close to him, and he may know what she did earlier just to marry him, but since she handed over a company that helped his ambition, he stayed quiet (my guess). He secretly hates his wife and father-in-law, but it's all about the power. He may have had a sad childhood, but he's no victim.
Now that makes since. I remember she lost her daughter and Sora killed a few women to marry him... That Sora and her dad are going to burn for eternity.
