I haven't watched this yet but why do people hate her for that? The Glory was similar so not sure why this FL…
For the record, I actually wanted her to be even more flawed. She is very interesting, BUT, there is NO COMPARISSON between her character and that in The Glory. The girl in the Glory was tortured and she went after those who abused her. This one is just a con-artist picking on people to steal their money (she has mitagating circumstances, but the point is that the Bok family and those before them have done nothing bad to her). So, I don't see how you can compare the two.
Finally irl allows me time to start this one!Hope it's good, all those negative things people said about it only…
Agree on all of the above. The writing is solid, but nothing special. However, it has few surprises. I think we all know how it will end, but the journey is less predictable than most shows.
..the grand wedding the mother is talking about is yet to come :)
Strictly speaking, nothing was said explicitly (at least based on subtitles) that the mother saw this wedding. It is all implied. Also, the mother had long nap, maybe she saw a lot haha.
So what we couldn't know in 4 episode that why fl married two times Bol yi na said in two lines 🙂First time…
I must say I found this strange and contradictory. We have been shown in previous episodes that these marriages were part of a scam. So, how comes that we suddenly have different motivations? You could argue that the two are not mutually exclusive, but I felt this was weak.
I feel that there is a big effort to make FL almost without any faults, which is pity. I felt that part of the charm of the series is that FL is a scammer and not squeaky clean. That makes her expected transformation all the more powerful. But, if she has been forced all along, and was strongly damaged emotionally just make her your typical "Damsel in distress" waiting to be rescued.
I am still enjoying the series a lot, but I would have liked it more if she was real scammer.
Honestly, this show just getting better. A really good blend. The sequence from Do da hee taking the shoes to the school to the end was great! But, I have to give a shoutout to Dong hee with the best line of the episode "VAT is not included" hahaha
After 4 episodes...this has the vibes of the famous American movie "Love Story" where you know from first scene how sadly it ends, yet you can't help yourself from watching, and even forgetting at times that outcome. The series is both lovely and depressing at the same time. This is my first taiwanese series, and I am enjoying the performances of the actors playing K & Cream a lot!
I would say lots of what you mentioned can be described as character flaws rather than stupidity. Maybe we have different defintion of what is considered stupid.
I agree with the second part of your post about the plan, but I don't think it is normal for people to run background checks regularly, especially when they are the ones who think they are taking advantage of them. Anyway..I guess it is a matter of perception rather than hard facts.
I was shipping Gwiju and Dahae till now (ep 4). BUT, I just can't anymore 😠she's USING his ability and what…
I can't say that I support her using his power to manipulate him, but I certainly like the consistency of the writing and believability. I actually wish that this is a scam and she is not telling the truth. Btw, I am waiting for what you desrcibed. She genuinelly falling for him, but being exposed! I can already see myself tearing up lool. And I don't need precognitive ability for that lool. But, people even irl (It happens much less than in dramas, but it happens) actually forgive those who they love after the initial anger goes away.
I don't think the family are shown as stupid. The grandmother is actually trying to use the FL for her own benefit. The sister is suspicious. Ina is clever and playing her cards to her chest. And even the ML does not believe her 100%. I don't think he can choose the moment he goes back to as well. But, still he is doing what he can.
So, I don't know why you think they are stupid?
Generally speaking, scammers are very clever and charming people, and there is endless number of real life cases where some of the most successful people in the world got scammed.
Recommendations for kdramas with a similar vibe to watch while I wait for all the eps to be released? Looking…
It is not entirely same vibes, but there is time travel with a twisty plot, it has romance, touches on things like self-esteem and friendships. Also, it has 12 episodes only.
I can't see the chemistry between the leads yet. I can see more chemistry between I-na and her crush bc it's genuine.…
I partially agree. I think the leads don't lack chemistry, but it is not very strong. However, I completely agree that their kissing scene didn't have any emotional weight.
I disagree with you on Ina though. I find this entire kids triangle uneccessary, and I wish if it wasn't there at all. Being at school and gaining confidence can be achieved through many avenues like building friendships with other girls, or being integrated through group activities. We don't need love triangle between barely teenage kids.
Personally I don't like disclaimers even for major things.Disclaimers are essentially spoilers and I find them…
I think they put more than enough in Tags. (Too much if you ask me) If you feel that is not enough this prove my point. To satisfy everyone is impossible, or you need a very, very long list. Anyway..I think I will leave it at that. I have said the same 3 times now.

The point I am making is that you are affected by X. Another person by Y, another by Z, another W, and so and so forth. Creators don't know in advance who is going to watch, and if they want to include everything that require them to have an extremly long list. You are not the only person who is watching.

But, also a chance for probably all charcters to get their act together.
It did have a turning point though.
I think the second half will be essentially......

E 8 alone cost me an almost entire box.
