My brain just logged off after hyun ju diedðŸ˜ðŸ˜ I couldn't care less about any character after that. Also the VIPs were so cringe my god, had to fast forward.
Good Golly I just finished this. What a tragic, heartbreaking story! I could only watch one episode at a time…
Misogyny is your answer unfortunately. I recently saw a tiktok with thousands of views saying how she didn't look pretty in the drama and should have kept her hair open or smthngðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Like?? Atleast the comments were disagreeing with the post.
i'm also not fond of "sibling" love plots even if they were not blood related. The likes of reply 1994 and family…
The older kdramas were even more heavy on this-autumn in my heart and that winter the wind blows were crazyðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Both shows have won multiple awards and are critically acclaimed also.
I wrote a review but I also wanted to share a comparison I did and an analysis of the tropes prevalent in both…
Wow this was such a great read!!! You really captured the essence of both dramas. Their falling in love and running away was kind of a f**k you to all the people who have been controlling them and I am guilty of loving that.🫣 Love your write up 🤗
To answer some of your questions- the rash on the mountain was due to slow poisening inside his body. Idk what…
Oh you are right don't worry, it was rushed and the pace was off at times, it's not just you and a lot did happen. I just paid more attention maybe idk (also I've read the webtoon it's based on that helped)
What unnecessary plot twist are you talking about??
Oh okay. She only sees the second lead as a brother though so no romance there (thank god that would have been weirder 😑) atleast lee jae wook's character is a stranger. 😅 If you like ljw maybe give it another chance his acting is crazy good in this. Upto you😊
What unnecessary plot twist are you talking about??
Oh you thought they were actual siblings instead of him being a fake. Hmm there was a romance tag though, and romance would have only worked out if he was a fake.🥲
To answer some of your questions- the rash on the mountain was due to slow poisening inside his body. Idk what…
They showed the rash two times- once when they were living on the mountain and second when jaeyi sees it.
They did reveal the shaman as the mastermind, in ep 10 she comes and talks to kkot nim.
Oh he knew about everyhing. It's just that they were talking in a nonchalant tone so that the viewers can't immediately deduce that he is the main villain.
While watching the drama, I thought Kkot Nim was Sim Jae I's mother. In fact, towards the end of the drama, I…
Jae yi's mother was a surrogate who died giving birth to her. If you watch ep 1 there is a flashback where lady min is telling about jaeyi's mother. Actually lady min couldn't conceive a child with sim yeol guk which caused him to hire a surrogate but as it turned out to be a girl, she was deemed useless.
I just don't feel this drama, it was all over the place, some parts didn't make any sense and I had to go back…
To answer some of your questions
- the rash on the mountain was due to slow poisening inside his body. Idk what disconnect you are talking about??? - the kids were clothes properly, these were common clothes during that time. As she handed the deed over to expose the corruption inside the guild, she may not have a lot of money atm.
- the shaman wanted revenge on lady min bcoz of what lady min's father did. She wanted to take revenge and was the mastermind behind sending fake hongrang, why would she tell them???
- they didn't expect him to be so close by. As he had gone missing before and was found in the forest, that's where everyone's mind will go, why would they think that he's in the well, when they wanted him alive??
- the chief merchant and snowman were both working for the prince.
- they were all accomplices , child trafficking is a central theme in the drama, and if you notice there is a whole syndicate running, the prince was just the biggest name attached to it. Abuse of power + standing against a prince means treason.

One of the worst historical K-dramas that I have ever watched. Sicko plot that included a love triangle among…
- not a love triangle if fl had no feelings for the adopted one right? Also he was her "fake step brother" (real hongrang was also not her step brother as it is revealed later that hongrang father is not sim yeol guk but lady min's servant)
- He died because he was poisened by bathing him with arsenic and alum as a kid.
- kkot nim was not his mom, he was an orphan.
- I don't know what "aerobics" you saw because it was only one scene , a very tame one at that.ðŸ˜
The set up of "two broken souls finding love" kinda romance is really delicious actually if done well.Here the…
They did set up the fact that she started to care for him. she tells him two times in the show that she wants him to be safe even if he's not her brother. She inquires about his past life from mujin, wonders why he looks sad all the time. So it wasn't bcoz of the kiss. But yeah the confession of love was sudden. I actually loved their domestic scenes in ep 9 as a respite from the trauma , but I can understand why you would not feel so.
I couldn't care less about any character after that.
