Maybe because I'm used to smarter villains, I can't accept that the stepmother is just a big bully moving like a bulldozer because she wants to cement her position in the family so what she did to Shin's sister won't befall her. I don't even think she likes her husband that much.
I am obsessed with this show. It's been a long time since I've had a romance drama pull me as much as this one does. Love the characters (of course except for the asshole friend and ex).
I'm more than happy to hate Hye Seong for Woo Joo. She's moving like a bloody trapezium. I'm not a fan of first child "responsibility" but unfortunately, the hierarchy happens whether you like it or not. Nature abhors a vacuum so someone will always step up among siblings if the first child doesn't. That has been Woo Joo all along while Hye Song did whatever. Now she wants to step up and be the responsible older sister after pretending not to notice WJ was doing all the emotional work for the family. And I'm supposed to feel, what, sorry for her? I understand her reaction to finding out who Dong Jin is but her selfishness is just so front and centre, it's all I can see right now.
"You tried to throw Soo Kyum away. Now I know how you feel. The baby hasn't been born yet but I want to throw it away."
Am I the only one who understands where the FL's brother is coming from? We may not have seen it but from his words, I can imagine the FL's reaction when he brought home a baby. She might be the best aunt right now, but she wasn't always like that. Of course, I'm not saying he has to pay back in the same coin. He just knows firsthand what being pregnant/having a child will mean for his sister. I don't think it's hypocritical in any way.
I'm a big advocate of disappointing your parents early on so they don't have any expectations. Parents will have the most oversized reactions for their "good" kids which doesn't make any sense. The mum hitting the FL and throwing her out of the house? Totally a selfish parent move. "You have taken away my dreams of a perfect daughter so you should be punished."
Well, it wouldn't be a Kdrama weekender without an evil female character. And aren't we lucky? This drama has…
"Every time she clutches her chest, you hope it's because she's dying. " I commented on another forum that I hope she keels over and dies. But of course she won't. More chest-clutching await us in the future, yay.
I love the fact that Attorney Shin stays winning. Like the writers dodged that trope of making the main lead lose a lot to the villain and then win at the tail end. Of course, I'm not discounting the loss of his sister. That's huge.
I feel like a broken record at this point but what does the FL's sub-plot add to this drama? The character is not compelling by herself. Her story stopped holding my interest after ep 2. Even the PD brings more vim to the drama than she does and she's barely in it.
Love how the three friends revert to juvenile behaviour when they're together. Absolutely bonkers and hilarious. But also tender.

This drama gives me all the feels. I see all the flaws and have questions about the plot but meh. Who cares when butterflies are aflutter?
I really like that none of the leads is naive. Completely over the saintly FL/ML trope.
I can't believe they were trying to act like Shin Sung Han is not a hottie. Would love to see the bts for that scene.
