I have to add that there were so much potential between Jisoo and Grandpa's relationship I thought she would grow some balls and tell him where to stick his money but well only in my imagination I guess.
Soo Jin birth mother acting is amazing. I literally crying watching her look so miserable watching her video footage…
I think she wanted to end things with her boyfriend and make him back off them and she probably didn’t want Soojin there since he gets violent and he might hurt her. So I think she was left her at an orphanage until she was able to dump him and escape then she planned on coming back to get her. Something must have went wrong, I think the guy got super violent and she had no option but to kill him while defending herself. As a result she went to jail and couldn’t go pick up her daughter from the orphanage. Her story is so sad.
I being a sucker for people who try to make up for their past actions. I feel for her biological mother and respect her actions to just watch her grow up from afar and spare her the bullying of being the child of a murder. I know her adopted mother is panicking. She’s dying, she doesn’t have enough time with her “grandchild” and yet the mother who abandoned her daughter gets everything that she should have. I know shes a good person and stops her actions against the biological mother. I wish they would get caught by the cops already. She is putting the little girl at risk of being killed. Atleast if she is put under the guardianship of the state she can fight for custody after serving for kidnapping.
*Oh. Mo. Na* (as Sharon said it) writer-nim with all the spark gone from the fantasy part, you had ONE good-entertaining…
Tbh I think that is how most killers are. They are likable, charming, sometimes good looking and relatable. Usually the have a sad story in the past about how they turned out they way they did. They were spoiled, neglected, traumatized, betrayed, abused in some type of way so they use their charming personalities to mask their pain. They stop relating to other people or consider other people's feelings (Even if they can act like they do) because they get to a point where they only care for their pleasure, their anger, and channeling their pain in some way. They lose their ability to sympathize or empathize because in their ego THEY are the most important thing to them.
Someone who described it best "something very similar like narcissistic personality disorder - like Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper was). Apart from an incapacity to feel emotions (such as guilt, empathy, remorse, compassion, etc. due to a defect in that part of the brain), they are endowed with an ability to manipulate others. This is usually displayed as glibness &/or superficial charm. "
Those of you who are complaining about the dramas pace, I understand why you feel this way. We as a human race with easy access to fast technology are becoming impatient. I noticed with plots lately they are packed with actions and are so fast paced that we used that keeps us our attention long enough to say we like the drama. Many people got frustrated towards the end of Goblin, W, While You Were Sleeping, Even My Golden Life, now Hwayugi. Basically every drama I’ve watched in the past two years I have seen these complains about how slow the drama was becoming and how draggy it became. Dramas are draggy by nature some times I myself prefer movies for this reason. Dramas are almost like book in away where you have to completely absorb yourself in the world the write created and slowly understand each character, their emotions and decisions and why them make them.
LOL....I just read above what she did...I never liked her but seems she has now become a caricature.
Thats nothing considering she plans to kill a man in every life time he is born until he fall in love with her. Can you say Psychotic? She is literally a serial killer.
I am so excited that Sooho is gaining memories of his past life. Finally we can see the main leads gain insight of those scheming against them. Prior to this I think the fact that they didn’t know or were unaware of that people around them were scheming made them too mundane as they only focused on each other and their jobs. KRW’s acting is top notch, that last scene in ep 14 were he is scared seeing Sharon in his bedroom was great acting on his part. If I was Sharon honestly I wouldn’t have wanted him to remember me because atleast he didn’t hate her for killing the love of his love. It is only going to end badly for her. At this point she is reaching the level of self destructing as her inability to let go. What I don’t get is WHY she is so in love with him to the point of not letting go for two lifetimes. It’s bad writing on the dramas part. She loved him for his good looks? She obviously hated how he was friendly to his servants and she basically doesn’t really know the SooHo in this life time so I don’t get what about him she is so in love with. Anyway I’m excited to see HeRa gain her memories too and everyone getting on the same page.
Can I just say I LOVE THE OTP AND THEIR ROMANCE. I get why people think it’s boring but I actually love how relatable and it’s not over dramatic and cliché filled misunderstandings.
A+ that the male lead is not an arrogant asshole who is shitty to the female lead half the time. Also no noble idiocy nonsense
A+ that she is not some super fragile female lead who always needs him to rescue her from public humiliation of his rich family.
One problem though, while he was captured by the governemt and they came to get his wife, WHO REFUSED HIM? Who…
Okay I might have misunderstood you and thought you were blaming the audience.
From my experience with Korean culture, the man is Master yes but elders always have final say as Filial piety is important in our culture.
This is why in History while the king sat on his throne there are cases of queen Dawagers having the power. Yes the Man of the House is master of the House and has a lot of influence but he doesn’t have influence over his elders and ignoring instructions from the elders is not considered wise and you might come to pay for your lack of filial piety later.
In my family, my motherand grandmother don’t see eye to eye but my dad always goes with my grandmother because she is an elder.
In this case I’m inclined to believe that the husband really couldn’t rebel against his mother. If he had it in him then he would have just refused to marry the wrong girl in the first place.
I personally have more issues with Sooho in the present time than I do with him from the past.
I definitely see Sharon’s charm though, I just would like her more if she was able accept what she did wrong in the past. In fact I actually liked her up until Sooho walked into her store for the first time.

I would agree with your point that he was a cheating scum were it not considered for the fact that HE DIDNT WANT TO SLEEP WITH BOONYI and he actually didn’t sleep with her. She could have talked to him and shared her feeling of jealousy and asked him not to sleep with him not to sleep with her. He being a noble guy who respected her despite her cruel behavior I’m sure he would have told her that he had no plans to do so. She jumped to her own conclusions and betrayed him because she put it into her own head that he cheated on her when he didn’t.
Also he couldn’t control the fact that there was going to be a surrogate mother just as much as she couldn’t control it herself either. It was a decision made by elders and a decision both Sharon herself, the husband or Boonyi couldn’t control. The only thing he could control was making sure he didn’t sleep with her. Which he didn’t. Sharon has her own self to blame for acting and making a judgement without investigating or questioning the people involved. She wasn’t betrayed. She only told herself that she was.
EVEN IF she was betrayed, she only took her anger out on one person. Technically the only person she killed was Boonyi and her husband willingly walked into the fire to die with her. She wanted him to live and for the two of them to escape while Boonyi died in the fire. She never truly blamed him. So it’s not fair to only judge the audience for not blaming the husband when Sharon herself doesn’t blame him. There is only one person Sharon blames. BoonYi.
The same remains in the present. Instead of thinking “look there is that bastard that left me and decided to die with another woman”
Her logic is “look my husband has been reincarnated and we can now be married and be happy this time, I just need to keep the servant girl away from him or break them apart. She is trying to steal my husband again”.
Sharon only animosity against Boonyi and Hera because of her insecurity and throw absolutely no blame towards her husband.
Hate Sharon all you want, she was the one cheated on by her husband. While her actions are really inexcusable,…
One problem though, while he was captured by the governemt and they came to get his wife, WHO REFUSED HIM? Who pushed BoonYi to be the one that get tortured as his “wife”. Sharon turned BoonYi to be her husband’s wife with her own words. So really who betrayed who first? You are falsely arrested and thrown in jail and tortured, the police go to your house to get your wife and interrogate her to see if you are guilty or innocent. Instead she sends a servant girl to replace her because she wants no part of it. She could have gone and did the same thing BoonYi did but she didn’t. I’m sorry but I’m the laws eyes BoonYi became his wife when the govt tortured her as his wife.
You like her yes, she has a vulnerability that draws people to her side. However she betrayed him first.
This drama leaves me with more questions like Why is she still married to the scum bag? Why hasn’t he started his revenge ? Why isn’t she pissed for setting them up together knowing he was a scum? When is something interesting going to happen?
My biggest issue with Sharon (from the past) is that’s she doesn’t see slaves as human beings with feelings. Which is part of the reason she accuses her husband of being Catholic. She burned an innocent girls face for trying on her clothes. She has no emphathy for others and has a narcissistic personality. The fact that Boonyi could read and knew more about the government structure seriously insulted her. Like how dare a slave know more than her. She simply could have tried studying more herself to know more about the government. However she didn’t because she had no interest. Boonyi studies because she had interest in it.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS SHE DIDNT FIX HER WAY OF THINKING.
Even though Boonyi and Hera are not the same person, she calls Hera a slave twice before she is told about how they were switched at birth. That’s just her nature, she doesn’t reflect but focuses on others as the problem and not herself.
Boonyi is not the person that betrayed her. She was forced to become a surrogate mother (as a slave she had no choice) ofcourse I’m sure she didn’t hate spending the night with him.
Sharon herself rejected being the wife of the House. She rejected her own husband and escaped torture. (I don’t blame her tho, a girl has to whatever she needs to survive) but the consequences were that she lost her husbands respect the only thing that kept him next to her. You reap what you sow.
Her husband leaving her after rejecting him to the government was her Karma. Boonyi took him as her husband, was tortured for him, so she went and claimed her man.
Sharon has the nerve to go and try to kill the girl that saves her from being tortured because she took the husband she rejected? No way!!
Where exactly was Sharon betrayed? Please explain to me?
I know her adopted mother is panicking. She’s dying, she doesn’t have enough time with her “grandchild” and yet the mother who abandoned her daughter gets everything that she should have. I know shes a good person and stops her actions against the biological mother.
