Episode 10 takes the cake! From the bandage scene where they don't seem like a divorced couple, to Hyun woo and his mother's discussion about Hae In's illness, and Hae In's smart move recording Eunseong's threat leading to that explosive press conference. And let's not forget the funny and sweet epilogue.
I do enjoy complex and flawed characters. Messed up characters are more interesting, π ππ She's like a mixture of Aunt Beomja's craziness and her mom's kinda level of stubbornness.
Similar? Yes she is cold but she has her own sympathy that does not give creepy psychotic behavior πHis sympathy…
hahha If the male lead is cold, fans might say, "Oh, he may seem cold, but he loves her deep inside." But if the female lead is cold, it's like, "Oh, she's a bitch" π.

No hard feelings, feel free to express yourself... I'm just curious, if the roles were reversed, I guess male leads are often portrayed as superior, even in chinese dramas, despite the fact that sometimes female leads are more reasonable.

Hae In did acknowledge to Eunseong that she married Hyunwoo because he promised to stay by her side, and she divorced him due to feeling guilty about how he was mistreated by her family. However, others either ignored or didn't grasp this. Hyunwoo seems aware of what he signed up for, choosing to remain by Hae In's side even after the divorce, which Hae In appreciates. But just because Hyunwoo's family allowed Hae In's family to stay in Yongduri doesn't mean she'll immediately reconcile with Hyunwoo. She's stubborn but not heartless or possessive.
After watching all the episodes again, I realized Hae In has a little bit of everyone in her family: her mom's coldness and stubbornness, her dad's chill attitude, her grandpa's business sense, her aunt Beomja's wild side, and maybe her grandma's loyalty. ππΊ
Right now, all I want is for Hae In's mom to deeply regret her mistreatment of her daughter, especially upon learning…
Aunt Beomja seems at a loss, as if she wants to confront that insensitive mother and say, "Hey, your daughter is dying, and you only have three months left to show her some care." π
Right now, all I want is for Hae In's mom to deeply regret her mistreatment of her daughter, especially upon learning her daughter has only three months to live. The fact that she ignored her own daughter's illness and dislikes it when her in-laws care for and show concern for Hae In really makes my blood boil.
After watching episode 8, besides the main events like Hae In and Hyun Woo's divorce and the problems with the Queen family, I couldn't help but notice something odd about Eunseong. The way he remembers saving Hae In as kids and holding onto her necklace all these years makes me think he's obsessed with her. His comments like 'Hae In will choose me' really emphasize that feeling. Plus, his statements to Hae In about how he's done a lot to prove he can be of use to her, even saying "use me," after finding out about her divorce seem pretty crazy.
There's a big debate going on about how some people think the writers and directors of dramas use the sickness plot to make us feel sorry for the female lead. But at the same time, some unfairly criticize her actions, even when they make sense. It's sad to see this bias towards male characters in K-dramas and C-dramas, even though I won't mention any specific shows. We need to look at both sides of the story. For example, Hae In doesn't always stick up for her husband when he's treated badly, but she's been dealing with her family mistreating her for years. On the other hand, it's not okay that Hyun Woo wishes his wife would die so he could be free. We have to think about how their personalities and situations affect their behavior. Even though Hae In did defend her husband once, some people think she was just looking out for herself rather than really supporting him. It's clear that people are biased in how they see things, which can make one character look bad unfairly.
Do you think he's too focused on Hae In?
