One of the most pointless things was WJ's mother subplot, she came as a big villain and left never to be seen again. Also Jung wook and Yoo jin's relationship, they seemed to be in love and she was aware of all his family dramas and really supported him, but suddenly they decided on I-don't-love-her-really-but-don't-want-her-with-anybody-else trope and she left forever too. His mother and grandmother were totally selfish too, they just thought about themselves.
It's lighthearted and funny and goes smoothly until ep 20-1 when a plot twist happens and even after that it's pretty OK but from ep. mid 30s onward it's a mess, a huge one. Decisions make no sense and suddenly everyones' IQ drop drastically.
I finally watched it adter putting it on hiatus mid airing, I must admit I'm quite disappointed with the ending. Entered the list of dramas I wish I'd never finished them.
It's rerunning on an old series channel and I'm rewatching it after many years, although I've forgotten the number of my watch!! It brings back many memories from my school days when everyone seemed to have a crush on Jumong😂 Can't believe it's been 14, 15 years already!
Contrary to other dramas, characters don't start to die in the last 10 eps. but there are 2 completely unnecessary deaths that seemingly are only there to make the audience (and characters) suffer. Baili's guard protected him from arrows for +20 eps. with a sword but suddenly he throws himself in front of one and dies. Even more ridiculous is Si yue's death. (I watched it on air but after all these months, it still makes me mad.) I always wondered what would be the use of that useless brother and finally he between all those alert and armed guards, shot from a far and AGAIN instead of easily shoving her traitor of a brother aside, Si Yue throws herself in front of it. Just to show us poor Bing Zhou is really fated to be all alone!!! If they'd planned to kill her, they should've done it on earlier attempts like the cave or fire which were more dangerous and convenient than a stray arrow by a girl obsessed boy! (Sorry for the rant)
It has a good and detailed plot but in some points especially in the 2nd half is messy and falls flat. There are 2 big plot twist revelations, the first one is fantastic and really shocking but the 2nd one is a oh-no!-anyway kind of revelation with motives that don't make sense. And that ending is unnecessary and rather stupid too. Actings are good, specially the 3 main characters. I haven't seen WY anywhere else so I don't know if it's wooden acting or intentional but here it matches his character's terse and rigid personality.
I gave up on this drama around ep 30. I'm just here to read comments and laugh. The plot didn't change. It's still…
Me too. I had to put it on a forced hiatus around ep. 34 but after that I just didn't feel to watch new episodes anymore. I didn't think it would get better or characters would be more sensible and from comment seems I'd thought right.
Well. I don't how much spoiler you mean but, It's about neglected children being taken by the ghost of an equally abused child. Their loneliness is so sad.
It isn't as similar to mine as some comments make it out to be. Story is more complex and layered, the characters have more dubious motives, etc. I don't want to write many spoilers but FL here isn't fighting her husband, she knows all his vices and for her own greeds helps him to reach high. Also, MIL isn't some screaming half-crazed woman, she's the mastermind of the family and main person behind the business. About being better, I can't say because I really didn't like Mine, but I think it's better and more unpredictable.
Hi. Honestly, I can't exactly say yes but there is a twisted kind of romance. Leads are married and have physical relationship+ benneficial partnership but it's a cold arranged marriage. Also the man is a serial adulterer and a quite shameless one at that.
