I can't find it on Novel Updates or other places where people translate to English and other languages. Maybe if we get enough fans to fansubbed the novel.
LOL yeah from that preview. I was like when does she have time to master the English language then again maybe she learned it in The Philippines. I was surprised she actually went there and didn't go to another city in Korea pretending to be in Philippines.
They needed to stay within the 40 episode limit (they could have edited things better for the extras to be included in those 40).
They cut those extra Nana Jingke scenes and added an unnecessary plot of grandpa's son and grandsons (like no one did DNA testing just to confirm, they accepted it because of the story they told?), a plot that should have happened episodes ago. We still had some loose plot points and things glossed over and scenes like the last scene, there was no explanation other than FL is at the beach with a group of girls (are they part of Yian's foundation or is it theater for kids out at the beach or FL decided to randomly go to the beach by herself and meets four little girls LOL).
They could have spin-off Nana's story and had Yijin as a supporting character. It could have easily been a Gen MZ empowerment story on it's own like Nana being a woman in a male dominated research job while dealing with the ups and downs of relationship + FL dealing with power harassments and issues in her theater while managing to work things out with her bf or if she marries, dealing with married life. Supporting character Zhou Zhou dealing with stuff at work (plenty to include) and Jingke also having to deal with stuff he is forced by his parents and working things out between parents and Nana (like there's a lot that could be done with their story). We can include minor side characters that Nana, Jingke, Yijin, and Zhou help or whatever or just make a Nana Jingke story since there's a lot to still deal with between research and Jingke's family.
Ep 1 - A bit of a disconcerting start but precisely because of this a one to watch. The most striking is the difference…
Things that happened in those 12 years apart and not having that closure seems to have shaped them into who they are now. There's a mystery of what happened and we will find out. I'm curious how long Aki has dated that woman. Like did they kiss, have sex or is it just two "busy" people not wanting to be lonely and hanging out sometimes LOL Because the body language and the way they talked to each other felt like they were in some arranged contract for hire type couple LOL They didn't give off couple dating just two standoff-ish and indifferent strangers talking surface level.
KSR always blaming everyone but herself. LOL Had she not switched the babies, her child would be alive. Sang Chul is not the most reliable person, I mean he was so easy to cheat on his wife. His priorities are himself, money, sex, and food. I'm surprised she hasn't tried to seduce Wang Senior LOL might as well keep it in the family LMAO
Also when did Revenant Demon aka KSR learn English because Walmart person might have a Korean interpreter but would expect the English speaking Molly. Unless they are your typical "American" with bad English or stays quiet and has their Korean speaking assistant doing all the talking LOL I guess KSR sent emailed herself the presentation and not messed with it to embarrass Molly.
this rating is criminal, this is up there with all the 8.0 historical lakorns. absolutely nothing wrong with it,
Workpoint really needs to rethink their marketing and streaming strategy. IDK if their Netflix TH contract only allowed them to stream on the platform and no simultaneous streaming. They need to up their game either make Netflix TH uncut and youtube streaming cut version/paid VIP/include CC to autotranslate + ads/sponsored ads or something because they can get more money from a combination of TH and International fans.
