I have steeled myself against the inevitable - JBY probably died when she drowned at age 10. Too many recent references and hints to her "body" and not her "soul". I do not believe this was the original script/plan - but something happened and rewrites were obvious starting around Ep. 16. #BuYeonDeservedBetter - absolute agree. As someone who was Team JBY from the beginning, I am sad - I will be ecstatic if JBY "soul" is still alive, but have lowered expectations. I will continue to watch because I adore ChoDang and am crossing my fingers 🤞🤞🤞 that Maidservant Kim and Park Jin will also have a happy ending. Also Sang Ho (very worried about him) Jo Wol, Yeo Sul and others. Jin Mu will die, together with Queen, but worried about Mama Jin, I would never have watched if not for my interest in JSM and probably will never watch another Hong Sister show. Bittersweet is not my thing.

May I spread a rumor? It's about my very favorite AoS guy - Yoo In-soo. Most know that he is already filming in his latest project ("Bad Mother") but rumor has it that he will also appear in Uncanny Counter 2. That would be so cool (if he is a good guy and not a retread of Gwangun (??) from a show that involves zombies and I will never, ever watch even to watch YIS) . He would be reuniting with Uncle Park Jin (Yoo Joon Sang) if the rumor is true. Because of the rumor, I started to watch Uncanny Counter 1. And then I discovered that one of the female leads is played by Yeom Rye Han - the actress that portrayed the "mystery woman" (Geom's mother) in Ep. 1 of AoS. One reason I love K-drama is the small world it involves - actors/actresses don't hesitate to take cameos, minor support roles. I love seeing familiar faces.

Don't worry about how you express yourself - sometimes I forget that many people who comment on MDL come from a wide variety of countries and languages. 😊😊 You are always very positive for your guy! I visited this page earlier today and see many "broad-brush" attacks on JSM fans for comments made on a completely different forum (Twitter). Very, very disappointing. Very discouraging.
I follow JSM fans on twitter and all have been very careful to stay positive and condemn negativity. Keep fan wars off of MDL, I say! Cyber hugs to you jxxvvxxkstan. 🥰🥰

Very good summary. 😊

I'm enjoying it - always looking forward to new episodes.

A fan's deeply held feelings should never be considered a "tarnish" of any celebrity's good image.

This might help you, but it contains some minor spoilers.

I may be wrong, but I don't think she ever looked at the judge - she just looked down at the table and repeated her standard mantra.

Based upon various dialogue in early episodes, Bu yeon was born approximately 1 year before Jang Uk. The actress was 10-11 years old when she filmed AoS and Bu-yeon disappeared 10 years ago - which would make her about 20-21 in AoS.

In the early episodes, it was clear - again from the dialogue - that "Naksu"/Cho Yeong was born several years before Jang Uk and was closer in age to Seo Yul. Her father was killed after Jang Uk's birth, but Jang Uk's father supposedly left soon after Naksu's father was killed. But based upon recent interviews and a major timeline revision in Ep. 19/20, it appears the writers have revised her age down to Jang Uk/Bu-yeon/Dang-gu.

I just began watching w/my vpn and Disney+. I selected Singapore. My usual go-to of Hong Kong wasn't allowing me to access.

Ugh, a pox on Disney for licensing these shows and then restricting to Asia! I started to watch this (glad I kept my VPN), enjoying the early stages of the story, but watching on my computer means I fall asleep. In the middle of the trial (ep. 1). I know I will enjoy it - but wish I could watch on my TV while sitting on my sofa (like Neflix). Does anyone know WHY Disney won't license in the US or Europe??

Agree with you. Right now she is doing massive promotion (several appearances each week) for Project Wolf Hunting, her vlog, photo shoot with Elle Korea. Good for her! She begins filming for her new movie in November - that's why if there is a "window", it is very small and in late October. Meanwhile, I cannot wait to see how our adorable ChoDang couple evolves in Part 2. 😊

Hoping this will help replace "Good Job" in the fluffy, comedic romance gap in my kdrama viewing. I know nothing about the leads, but the synopsis sounds amusing.

Officially from tVN: "Jung So Min will not appear in Part 2." Unless she will be secretly taping during the last part of October, I don't think we will even get a cameo and frankly, a cameo would be worthless to me. I'll be watching for other characters and story arcs that interest me.

I guess I missed that one. 😊

I wonder if Master Lee is there as well. Sokcho is where the last various "fishing" scenes were filmed in Part 1.

I thought they were hinting that SML was a gay in denial - but then remembered that he has supposedly been "in love" with the FL for ten years. Meanwhile, watching the tongue-tied awkward Ji-ho trying to come to grip with his feelings towards her - I could watch those two during the entire hour. And so, even tho this show might have been better at 12 episodes, I think there will be enough stellar moments to keep me happy. 😊

My Lord, I couldn't stop laughing at the dinner scene between Sang-eun, Ji-ho and his boss and adorable wife. The way Sang-eun came up with the pregnancy story (and I'm sorry, but I didn't understand the "timeline" but I guess it didn't matter) and then Chief's wife immediately fills in the blanks. And poor Ji-ho gripping her hand and wondering how in the world he was going to deal with this fake story. Priceless.

I really enjoyed this show although I FF through the suspenseful part of Ep. 12 in order to return to the main reason for watching which is chemistry between the two leads. 12 episodes was just right. Ending was a bit open-ended and there might be a Season 2? It's a 9⭐for me because it was the one show I looked forward to each week and I wasn't ever disappointed - mainly because the show never took itself seriously (until Ep. 11).

I watched What's Wrong with Secretary Kim last night and I found her to be very recognizable. Sure there's been a bit of work, but PMY still has one of the loveliest smiles in all of kdrama actresses.
