Very true. This chick is delusional as hell. She reminds me of the villains in those stories where they're jealous of the heroine and her perfect life, or what they perceived to be the perfect life and so they scheme or perform magic to steal the FL life.

Here's my issues with FL... you wrote this man begging for his help and promised to give him whatever he wants in exchange. Now, he showed up, showed out and took care of your problem. You know what he wants, so stop acting like all he wanted was some tea when he got there. She made the deal, but then wants to act like she's too virtuous to fulfil it.

She know he still has feelings for her and in his eyes, she betrayed him. He's stayed away all this time, you don't think he's bitter? Why not have a conversation like adults instead of acting like you the victim. I'm actually like the ML bold approach. And I'll say that he is petty. LOL

Also, the FL's idea of emoting is trembling like a chihuahua.

Yeah, I agree, I feel like I need to clarify what I mean, because she isn't falling in love with him. She's falling in love with the fact the he's fallen in love with her. She sees herself as getting her own Prince charming.

The only thing I'm trying to figure out regarding this scenario is how this switch-a-roo will effect the business deal the mom is trying to get. If her daughter doesn't return within a month's time... the marriage will happen--as we know it does from the first ep. At that point, what does the mom do when JW isn't her real daughter? When the ML's family discovers they've been duped into signing the agreement under false pretenses. Will there be a lawsuit to turn that deal null and void since it was based on a marriage between their families? Will the mom adopt the faker just to make it legit? I mean, it's not like they can just sneak the real one into the position, they aren't identical twins, after all. Just seems risky and messy, but I guess we'll see.

This is why I see her as one of the villains of the story, because her actions aren't completely justified. She is selfish, she--like her friend who betrayed her--wants what she feels she's entitled to. And she's willing to hurt others to make her dreams come true. That is why she doesn't feel like she's wrong in pursuing the Fiancé. She's tested the waters by asking if she wasn't YJ, would he still want her and he said yes. That gives her the free pass she feels she needs to continue further. Because now, what wasn't obtainable is and she's just being herself to get it.

She's getting the relationship using her own abilities and she wants to get the job of her dreams using her own abilities. To her, she doesn't feel like she's wrong by using the fake identity to do so, because her friend 1. told her to and 2. it's the least she could do since he betrayed her 3 times. That's how she feels.

In her mind, she isn't hurting the ML, but falling in love with him and his world to become her idea of a princess. Now, I'm only on ep. 10, but that's how I see her.

And this drama is refreshing in the sense that most series start with the female being a doormat everyone walks on. A PPL pleaser until she hits rock bottom. This one already hit rock bottom because of circumstances not of her own making and she's discovering a way out of the muck.

One of the reasons I enjoy short series is because the FL usually end up with the ML faster and I can enjoy watching the couple love each other and work together. Longer series always have the fl out stubborn mules when it comes to admitting their feelings. The ML damn near is always near death before the FL is willing to admit she actually loves him.

I think that's why I love Joy of Life so much. They took a different route to forming the couple which I appreciate. Switch it up sometimes. Not every Cdrama or Kdrama or romance for that matter needs the FL to be obstinate.

Right now, they are a liability, so it's good to know they they learn from their mistakes and become more mature and less focused on in later eps.

I think that was the case too. I also wonder if the ML believes that to be true as well.

Ugh, ep 4 introduces not 1, not 2, but 3 annoying kids into the story with rude attitudes and ungrateful, prideful behaviors. I hope not too much time is spent on them.

I agree. It's like he knows his son can overcome, but also hates when his son uses that ability against him. 😂

I've been waiting for this one for months. I KNEW I was going to love the MC. Their rough ass foreplay. 😂

Yeah, I'm sick of it. It actually takes away some of my joy in watching these dramas.

Now, her mom has it coming too. I would totally marry her son to get back at her, but that is only if I already know who she is. But I'd be good to her son, while hating on her.
At this point in the story, she doesn't know who the woman is. She's just using that family to fulfill her fantasy of being rich and famous. And what makes her stupid is she's not really trying to imagine what will happen if she can't live this life. But it was interesting how quick she changed her tune when her father was threatened.

But later when she knows, as the synopsis states, I wonder then how she will use that woman's son to get back at her. Because he still doesn't deserve to be mistreated.

I guess she said I'll steal your designs and you can steal my life. Fair trade. 😂 This goofy ass conniving woman doesn't know whether she's coming or going.

She is definitely one of several villains of the story. Selfish, greedy and feeling like the world owes her something. Now, her "friend" isn't her friend and deserves her vengeance. But the fiance doesn't deserve to be used.

Imma need China to start feeding their horses. I'm sick and tired of looking at rib bones, hip bones, knobby knees, and dull coats.

This is a good example of why you don't let ppl who tried to kill you love when you have the opportunity to kill them. Being merciful to ppl who have no mercy in them for others is how you end up suffering when those same ppl continue to attack you. I would have killed the mother and two daughters without revealing myself so they wouldn't know where the attacks came from. I would have made it look like a murder suicide with a confession letter to pin the murder of the father and Ailian on the middle sister.

Furthermore, treating the ML like he's stupid makes her look stupid. Did she forget how perceptive this dude was?

All this, I want you to confess nonsense and I'm going to beat your winery to win is taking too many gambles. All this "I need to clear my name or my family's name" who gives a shit if everyone is already presumed dead. It's not like ppl will pay homage to your grave or old house every day for years on end. Just get your revenge and satisfaction knowing you took away the lives and future of those who thought they would gain from your loss.

ppl like her are the reason I could never be a bodyguard. If I tell you to do something and you give me attitude, you can find yourself another bodyguard. The job is stressful enough without the person you're trying to protect making their own safety difficult. Okay. on ep. 4 and really enjoying it.

See, I would have shot Ruo Yuo in the shoulder and the arrow would have pierced Xi's heart. She put a knife to her sister's throat to use her as a hostage and it wouldn't have worked with me. I always like the characters who don't fall for that mess. yes, it would be terrible to lose a loved one that way, but hey, they should also be fighting for their own lives. Furthermore, you're willing to sacrifice the lives of millions for one. That's not leadership. So, the crown prince was a punk for letting them go just because his woman was used as a hostage. Because he did that, now the whole country is in danger when it didn't have to be that way.

This is a good example of the palace being too damn big. A whole rebellion going on in one section and you none the wiser in another. lol
