Love movies

I have a few dumb questioins:
Who owns Yueda Group?
Who owns Xinganli?
Thanks so much.

mother (LWY) is awful but she plays the role to the hilt.

I rated it about a 9 so I'm with you!
I think the watchers got turned off at the beginning when they found the family so obedient to the mother. They were all slaves to her and I think, feared her too.

The poor dad is just a yes man - the mother would eat him alive if he were not.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions :-)

I've watched up to ep 16. Which trailer episodes are you disappointed in?
I hope that the mother is still not interfering with the FL beyond ep 16.
thanks!

Then there is hope for the FL's mother :-)

I didn't realize that Choice was a C drama. I try to look at the drama itself instead of where it came from. Good point Nanoush and thank you for bringing that difference out!

What I do like about Choice is that there are 2 new episodes every day (on IQ).

Excellent point! That poor husband of hers. Poor man.

Yes, I'm aware of that, she is a support actress - maybe on my part, just wishful thinking. Let's see what she does next.

Comparison between Best Choice Ever (on IQ.com) and Queen of Tears (on Netflix):

I am currently watching Best Choice Ever (ep 16/37) and Queen of Tears (ep 12/16).

Queen of Tears was excellent up to a few episodes but the last few episodes, IMHO, have gone steadily down. (from 8.8 to about 8.2).
If it weren't for the excellent actors to save it, it would be just another K-series.

However, Best Choice Ever is becoming my number 1 choice (at least for now) between the two series.

Just watch toward the end of ep 16 of Choice. Beautiful camera work, great acting, and the beginning of a relationship between the leads and the wise grandmother are exquisitely done.

Some might say that the FL's mother is the problem with the series. Yes, she is. She is awful, intruding, and controlling. I hope her issues just go away or maybe she can go away, quietly,

I might change my mind about Best Choice but for now, it is my number one pick.

Thank you for reading this.

Actually, I find PSH the most interesting character of all the characters in this series.
I liked him so much in Into The Ring. He is multi-talented because he can take different roles and play a different person.
What is strange for me is that PSH looks different in each series he plays in.
That takes talent.

Really? I don't feel so. It started well and now it has a lot of makjang.
I might be in the minority but for me, it has slipped from an 8.8 to a 8.2 in the last few episodes.

Well said, with thought behind it. Thank you!

Me too! Underrated!
I have watched up to ep 10 and I am enjoying every minute of it -
No dull moments, It's a nice drama -
Drama queen mother, beat down father, two obedient children (adult), and some interesting office maneuvers.
I can see romance in the air. Only 1/4 way through.
Fun!

Without YAI, I am not watching it. Cowardly Netflix.

So well said, thank you!
Yes, I think the ending felt unsatisfying. Why the one-year skip? Otherwise, it was a lovely series and well-acted.

No Yoo Ah In, I'm not watching it.

I agree - the FL abused him in all sorts of ways and he took it.
When a man abuses a woman it is awful but the other way is just as bad.
I felt her character was obnoxious, rude, and loud - yes she may have meant well but she was hard to take.

Agree with you. I am watching the ML in Queen of Tears. A completely different role and he looks quite different.
I like his acting very much and a very nice looking man besides.
The ML in this series was overrun by the FL who was over the top in her actions.
