Ji Suwon is absolutely amazing at portraying the shamelessness of Myeongji... I'm watching ep 98 the scene where…
Great comments! I wish Gracious Revenge was available for me. I like the proposal too and also don’t mind SY’s arc but wish it would include psychotherapy. JS could use it too.
I fully recommend it if you are a fan of makjang dramas! It's one of the better ones that aired this decade
I have totally bingeing Temptation of Wife (Cruel Temptation on Kocowa) and because of this my bar for makjang is set higher. I’m not sure anything will be good enough now 🤣 Not one but TWO crazies(hate using that but it fits) AND they team up HAHAHAHAH I have ~20 eps to go right now and will have to find another to replace it. 😥😅 I’ll be looking for all of this writer’s dramas now. Thank you again for the recommendation.
SY was happy and relieved when she found out YJ was dead, this guilty trip now don't make much sense
YJ was a little abstract, 20 years removed, when SY felt that relief but now YJ is tied to SY’s reliving the “trauma” she went through with the lies and the guilt. I can see how both happens to a psychologically damaged person.
Ep 97 -Everyone: SY’s mom is at fault regarding the embezzlement.Jiseok suddenly acting like SY is a saint,…
Willingness to forgive is a good person’s trait used as a trope in revenge stories and other stories, the “that’s okay, just don’t do it again” trope. Invariably the good person gets backstabbed (again.)
Where’s the Food & Safety Agency (or whatever it’s called in ROK) to inspect the premises and maybe lab test the product for impurities? I know, I know, this is TV and many liberties are taken for storytelling but come on.
Great article! I’m a history nerd too and pause my sageuk watching often for side tangents regarding the history of what I’m watching. This post isn’t boring at all.

Thanks for that in-depth reply! I copied it to my notes to check out later but at first glance I have seen some, and some aren’t available to me to stream right now. I’ll look up the rest on MDL
The 7.4 rating doesn’t reflect the positivity I see in the comments. But I’ll admit it’s a love /hate relationship between the writer and the fans lol I’ve watched from the beginning and while I can’t really say I loved it I will say I missed it when it wasn’t airing. I always looked forward to the next episode so now it’s ending I hope the replacement is good.

There needs to be a spit-take emoji. I almost lost my drink.
