Thank you so much for the link. I searched on Youtube but this did not come up in my search results. So I am forever grateful. Such a good drama and yet still not subtitled on various platforms. I guess because it is so long.

I don't like too long dramas either. This one I would like to watch as I have invested in watching up to Episode 13 but cannot find any more episodes with english subtitles, so am not happy about that. So will have to give up watching it all together. Frustrated+

No, I put the blame squarely on the actress, she chose to do this. She chose to become skin and bones to please those around her to get more jobs. It has nothing to do with skill but to get $$$ not the accolades that come with a particular skill.

I list this flaw as it is not the character but the actual woman who chose to do this to her body to get roles, totally disregarding the message it sends to young girls. As a former anorexic I should know the damage these women to do other women.

If you don't body shame these people they will continue to get away with it. Body shaming must occur especially when they themselves have willingly done this to themselves. We cannot have people walking around doing this and thinking they are ok. So I am not ashamed of what you call body shamming. Reality hurts!

Well wouldn't you know it, the flippin' football rides rough shod over the airing of dramas. Oh well in this case it works to our advantage. Yay!

As episode 10 ended I thought perhaps ML takes the Chairman position, at least thats what I am hoping and the grandmother gets kicked out, so can't wait for Ep 11 to see the results. Thats my hope anyway, probably won't happen but you never know. So I eagerly wait for Ep 11.

I actually agree with you on this. The grandmother has scared her grandson for life. Even if he gets a happy ever after, if it was real life he would still be traumatized for life by her horrid treatment of him. The scars from physical abuse heals but the scars from verbal abuse last forever.

Am loving this drama but I will once again state my utter disappointment in the female lead and for one reason only. Like other Korean and Chinese Actresses they have decided its much better for their bank balances to be walking skeletons and be damned with ensuring that young girls have a healthy view of themselves. I wish that I could weed out the dramas that feature these actresses but the way things are going it looks like all dramas are going to have these types of actresses. So do I just give up altogether watching them? Perhaps its just a stupid phase they are going through and they will get some sense into them and get healthy.

Does it matter whether they were married? If he cheated on Hyeri with Han So Hee then he is the dirt bag. I do not know whether he did or not though.

They were way too cute not to receive hugs.

He dealt the drugs in the same place to use the same weapon they used on his sister, is my take. He also chose the same place for that very reason.

I have to agree with the attire comment. I find many Kdrama female characters are dressed shockingly stupid. They wear shorts as their working clothes in an office, totally not acceptable, even in my neck of the woods.

I was wondering why she look so haggard most of the time. Tks

I felt that his character development was way too rushed considering what he had on his plate to deal with. None of these things can be solved overnight.

Agree. These problems of his do not get sorted out like some fairy tale over one successful performance to be sure.

Through the Darkness was brilliant and you didn't need the cinematography to be so dark either to get the vibe either.

Hmmm what cinematography? You can barely see the characters most of the time. This is the sort of film I dislike intensely, you can't see squat and anyone saying their acting is top notch must be imagining it because you can't see their faces to see how they are acting. Shadows, shadows and more shadows is what I am seeing.

Up to Ep 8 and what I wouldn't give to slap the daughter from here to kingdom come. She is a right piece of work. Insolent, disobedient, rude and just plain hostile to everyone. She judges everyone around her but herself and thinks she is right in everything. For crying out loud, she is an 18 year old child at that age it is best to seen and not heard, otherwise you will prove to everyone you know nothing. Her father should not be coddling to her no matter how wrong he may have been on his son's cause of death.

At the moment I have only read the plot, which I feel is just Welcome to Samdalri. I shall have a look at the characters when the full drama has aired. I hate having to be drip fed, its annoying. :)
