This has gotten tiring. Family discussions after discussions after arguments. I am at the point of end it already. Kim and Jang have exhausted whatever point they are trying to prove and after all their messiness... What do they really expect to get out of it? I'm sure Strawberry will be found. But they need to hurry up and end this push and pull with Kim and Jang. Episode 50 can't get here quick enough.
The age gap is about 5-6 years. It started off saying she is 31 and he is 25. Either way. You can't measure maturity with age. So far this series is tracking nice. And the gradual connection is relatable. We will see.
From lack of communication, choppy editing to open ended scenes: this could have been so much better. The ending was so 'assumptive' that it was laughable. It ended like a high school play. I guess we need to assume that she came back, and they are together and 'happy ending'? ML is definitely one to watch. The FL lack of character development and messy follow-up once she arrived back on the scene after five years made the make-up lack luster. Could have really been solid, but missteps in writing and production missed the mark.
You are right @ RSThomas but I think there will more chaos and disturbance after the chairmans come together drama.…
That would be insane. However, that would prove more of why XX wants nothing to do with that family and why she made the decisions she made. Due to XTY knowing her whole story that would only enrage him and make him want to protect her more especially after this stunt pulled by his mom. And I agree with XX fully when she said... "My past is my past and it's personal. It's none of your business and I don't owe anyone an explanation." And the one that would probably need an explanation or insight already has it fully.
This series is tracking well. I'm glad that the lines have been cleared on who likes who and who ends up together. Now, as far as the up-coming episodes where the chairman thinks that she is going to 'blow' XX and XTY new relationship apart. I think it will blow up in the Chairman's face. the typical parties that will probably go overboard during this 'set-up' is probably ALL the mothers. In the end, XTY will probably go off and leave with XX and they have a talk afterwards. The difference in this 'set-up' and other dramas is that the ML doesn't have a good relationship with his mother.... so, her doing some ill crap wouldn't surprise him. Also, he knows FL's back-story more than anyone. So, there is no changing of heart there. Also. XX had plenty of time before deciding to be with him to 'count the cost' and she made her decision because she has experienced XTY being earnest with loving 'all of her' and not just parts. Next week should be very good. But only if the writers allow the ML and FL to be mature in their decisions to remain true to what they desire to do moving forward.
Episode 15 un-wanted and un-needed cliffhanger! However, the reason why so many of us love this pairing is because they do communicate. So, we need the writer's to 'make it clear' within the first 5 minutes of the finale. I believe the Sa rang is referencing the hotel as a whole. However, I need her to 'read the room'. Won and Sa Rang have been away from each other for over a month. That statement could have been said at another time. But we all will see tomorrow. I believe that they will have a beautiful ending. But Kdramas love to 'throw things off' right at the end.
Okay episodes 23-24. It's getting quite interesting. Now all the villains are coming together, and the truth is out. Not fond of how the FL reacted to the 'whole truth' at the end. It felt a little self-righteous. But I do like the dynamics of where the series is going. Again, her lack of self-awareness is trying. People have been trying to kill FL and injure ML since the beginning and now that she knows the truth...why is not she connecting the dots? Even from a 'kingdom' point of view she is condescending and lacking. We will see... Looking forward to the next load.
Just finished ep. 22. Things are starting to pick up and get interesting. It started to drag in the middle and the FL stubbornness beyond awareness was becoming tiring. Can't wait for the next load. It will be interesting on how it all comes together.
Just started this series. It gives a Beauty and the Beast vibe. I like the enchantments and fantasy mix of kingdoms as well. Just enough comedy for it not to become too cheesy. Both leads are doing well in conveying tension and common growth. So far so good.
I don't understand why the ML is so determined for their dessert to hit the market
He explained it to the co-worker who helped him with the budget plan for Waltz. The companies best selling product still to date was created by his dad and his dad had to fight for that innovation that everyone said wouldn't work. Now, he is faced with the same and wants to prove himself as well. That explaination gave so much depth to 'Why' he is fighting so hard for Waltz (outside of the fact that he created it with the FL) that's what everyone thinks is the only reason. The scope of his dad connection would really bring a clearer direction and respect for his fight.
This seems to be a cute MINI. Choppy as always, but so far so good. the leads are cute. The scenes can be a bit cheesy. but again, it is a MINI. I've watched up until ep. 8. So far so good.
Can I just say, I am exhausted from the last 2 episodes! From the hypocrisy, toxic behaviors and total disregard for the mother and her child. It is too much. The last 2 episodes confirmed ...AGAIN... WHY YD left without a word away from everyone. YD's mother was more concerned about how things would look instead of how her daughter actually feels (until the end) which still felt like a hit or miss. TK's 'mom' if you want to call her that is 'out-of-bounds with every move that she made. Did she fall and bump her head in forgetting her journey? Why would she want her child or someone in her situation to go through worse at her hand? Why isn't the Chairman checking himself and trying to buffer the situation? It's becoming foolish and OVERDONE at this point and things need to take a sharp turn because they have dragged this abusive behavior towards the mother, child and TK for far too long.
This week's episodes were interesting in finding balance between the leads in 'what is desired' and 'what does it take' to really become clear about one another. The messy characters remain messy. The ML seems to have a clear understanding of why his push for their dessert to hit the market is important. The ML should share the story about his dad to the FL so that she can understand the depth of him a little more outside of his playfulness. All in all, this series is tracking nicely and keeping a good pace.
