In Kyung can be all sanctimonious because she actually had a privileged upbringing. The rich aunt raised her and even though she declares a dislike of the old woman, she still treats her like a backup plan. She doesn't have the same relationship with poverty that In Joo and In Hye have. She fancies herself some kind of avenging angel when she's an alcoholic incapable of keeping her shit together. I vote her most likely to ruin everything and get herself and her sisters killed.
In Joo is a tool, used by all and sundry to achieve their own aims and to be discarded after. She's the average "good person" whose morals are eroded in the face of what they want the most. Any move on her part to bring down the society is for her own survival and not any moral thing.
In Hye has the clearest motivations: she wants to get somewhere, she knows who can get her there and she's willing to trade for it. She's a brat, yes. And she'll be a cold-blooded villain (the best kind) if she ever goes bad.
While it'll be nice and entertaining to see some badassery, I'm pretty satisfied with the consistency of the characters so far. Their motivations are different, which is why they move and act as individuals and not The Powerpuff Girls everyone seems to want them to be. This is not a story about how three loving sisters come together to bring down a big bad wolf.
The plot is a little thin around how the orchid works but it makes for good suspense so I don't mind it. Looking forward to the next two episodes. And zero romance.
In-hye is the only sister capable of surviving in this world. Like the aunt, she's clear-eyed and has the capacity for necessary evil that her sisters don't. She might be the one to save them at the end of the day.
I love how consistent this drama was. All the sub-plots were neatly tied up, no romance to muddle things up and the characters were likeable. Kim Se Jeong was bright as Ma Eum, it was almost impossible to believe she was the same actor that did Uncanny Counter. Every time Nam Yoon Su smiled, the world just seemed like a slightly better place. Choi Daniel made you want to tell him all your problems.
There is a place for dramas like this and even if there are things I personally wished were done differently, what they did worked for me still.
Do not watch if you're looking for plenty of angst, drama or action. This is feel-good on steroids.
Love it so much. The fantasy+sci-fi+historical+action soup is exactly my taste. Love how all the chaos comes together towards the end. The cast chemistry was 10/10 and the humour was on point. Like that the film doesn't take itself too seriously (and you shouldn't either).
The CGI got the job done and the aliens were believable. Super hyped for part 2.
I did not expect to like this so much. All the tropes are very well done and leads are killing their roles. The way Dongfang is cold and unfeeling but becomes a softie for Orchid, love it. I hope he doesn't lose his powers as part of the plot for any reason. Ep 10 here I come.
I have more fun reading the comments here than fast-forwarding my way through the show. I'm just really glad that for once almost everyone is on the same page where this show is concerned.
I like that the writers are destroying viewer predictions at every turn. And how the different personalities of the sisters shine through in their choices even though they're all poor. Much like how people will watch the same drama and come away from it with vastly different takes.
The great-aunt knows her nephew is useless that's why she refused to help him. He's such an ass. I hope a mango falls on his head and kills him.
I think what's great about this series is that the acting and cinematography were enough to keep people watching even when they were confused af. For me, though, I have a mystery threshold and this went over it. Kinda lost interest around ep 4 so I guess I wasn't motivated to find the breadcrumbs to clear my confusion.
All that internal monologue makes me want to hit my head against something. They can take that out and we would not be missing anything. That said, the actors are giving their pay's worth and more. The acting is my favourite part of this. Especially Mol. She's killing the role of a manipulative mother and vengeful friend. This is not going to be a happy ending. Imagine going against her? In and Wang are learners.
One episode in and I love this so much. Excited for all the possibilities the plot holds. The cast is delivering so far. Enjoyed the cameo of the actor from It's Beautiful Now as the mum.

Don't understand why Brother Judge didn't let the police (or his brother) know that the convict had the addresses of some of the jurors.
Seems Kopiko will also be making an appearance in this drama.
