There is a lot to like about this show after the first two episodes. I like how Gwi Joo’s family have lost their superpowers due to modern calamities. Then there are the characters themselves: I think Gran is awesome, Gwi Joo’s trauma is understandable, some of us can relate to Dong Hee and Yi Na is fragile but strong at the same time. As for the huckster family - I really like their dynamic, how they share their own little in jokes and how dorky they really are.
I think show has real potential and Gwi Joo and Da Hae are pivotal to this. We are already seeing some genuine flashes of understanding one another. Gwi Joo wants to get better - he just doesn’t know how. Da Hae wants some certainty and being appreciated for who she really is, but lives in a world that requires her to put her immediate family first.
End of Wk6 - Eps 25-27 were quite good. Then, the sabotaged press conference happened and I found myself fast forwarding through eps 28 - 29 out of pure frustration. Show has a lot going for it. Let’s hope the focus changes soon.
End of Wk2 - I thought we had good all round entertainment. There were some very funny moments, the background to a certain first love, ongoing ungracious sister antics 😂, A Ra being adorable and U Ri’s younger sister consolidating herself as a make up artist. Overall, show moves at a good pace.
What I dont get is....Why Taeho decided to stay as basically Inha's lap dog? Why didn't he create a plan for himself…
Yes, Taeho is supposed to be a master strategist - where did all that go. I never saw him and Inha as friends - there were scenes early on that Taeho seemed aware of what a real threat Inha is. Then this awareness evaporated over the years - I can’t believe he was deceived by Inha. Technically, this should all be a long game by Taeho, but I don’t know now.
Overall, this is a dark drama with over the top characters and actions. Even though I thought about dropping it many times, I kept coming back to it. The performances are very good. Not for the faint hearted 😊
I found the first episode so refreshing and oh so good. For my mind, the story is reminiscent of a reverse fairytale - so the only way is up. Show has a stellar cast too. And just for the record, I love a good helicopter entrance!
