What was that Taejoo jumpscare outta nowhere lol bro disappears for 5 episodes straight and voila a new skill…
He definitely needs his own arc. And we donāt know his backstory either. Way way earlier when he seemed so concerned about Seri and her fake mom I was shipping them hahah I guess thatās out the window now.
Iām (Western mind) confused by whatās supposed to be disgusting, truly outrageous, and despicable. Thereās…
I am now most confused about why your original comment sounded so horrified personally. Of course Iām aware of Korean culture s largely based on Confucianism that laws follow it. Yet in 2025 things have changed.
If you had said Oh that going to be a big issue with the families hohoho I wouldāve agreed but you sound like youāre still in the Joseon era.

Iāll be strictly hate watching after todayās episode(45.) Iāve been side eyeing it for a while but two horribly contrived scenes (the tea being spilled at chairmanās house and super mom āsavingā the brat who didnāt even understand the words spoken to her were her own) pushed me over completely. I know soap operas rely on contrivance and tropes usually propelled by low budgets and tight production schedules but I was face palming today.
All props to the actors though for pushing through.
I know the scheme with Seri was planned but damn the execution stunk.
Honestly... I'd love to see Jae-In's revenge turn her evil, I have a feeling that the writers are heading there.…
I donāt think sheās built for evil. If something evil happens itāll be by accident. And SJY in The Promise was the most guilt ridden character, I never felt he was that evil. Either the part was written like that or he had hard time playing bad.
