Episode 50: YR screams for 20 minutes and people still look shocked at her behavior, 5 minutes of people you don't care about and 2 minutes of people you're starting to not care about.....LMAO. The previews are the only real dialogue needed to follow this drama.
You're wrong. The kid isn't the male lead's, he is not his son. The evil female lead lied to them because she…
The father was the dude in jail. I'm waiting for the younger brother to show up again. Or did the sister have him killed or something? I skipped a bunch...LMao
It's not like SKY castle, if you want to compare it to them yeah parents' behaviour is similiar. Overally, it's…
no it's Heirs meets I Know What You did Last Summer meets adult Jaw Breaker....Like whut is this? I thought the real estate mom was going to blackmail her way nto the deluxe apartment in the sky. not make stupid mistakes and ignore her daughter's obvious mental illness. It's unbelievable to me the "nepotism" pass would help her daughter much as, she eventually will have to sing in front of critics that will be out of Grandaddy's power to control. At least mom had talent enough to be considered "first"
Basically the 2020 version of " Cunning Single Lady"
We would hope. But, nope, it's a remake of a Seo Jin drama of the same name. The second lead female is a complete psycho that gets a pass for everything. I can see why it was made into a daily drama because it DOES fit the elements needed....LMAO. If anything Cunning Single Lady would be what happens if a better writer was given the synopsis for Phoenix, a decade later, and told to clean it up and make it better.
The government saw an "alarming" infatuation with SK men that does not sit right with the national image. Having…
Uhm...I think I addressed this, perhaps you should read my post again. So, there's nothing to "yeah but,".
There are no "foreign" male actors playing leads that end up with the girl because the Chinese government prohibits it.
This caused productions that had already been signed and shot to go into be scrapped. Because they had "foreign" SK men ending up with the female. China's public security authority actually issued a warning against watching Korean dramas. They also (at one point) banned all foreign dramas/sitcoms unless they were completed and subtitled. So stuff that had multiple seasons or currently airing was a no-go. This encouraged more high-priced productions to complete projects ahead of air date, instead of the "shoot as while airing" method. Scarlet Heart Ryeo was one of the first to do so. Things started to relax a little but current (pre-covid)US and S.Korean trade/political dealings aren't helping and have caused many SK fan meetings and concerts to be canceled or not allowed at all. It's why they could only be seen at award shows. I don't think BTS has had a concert date in Mainland China ever.

Things may have loosened up (money) more now....LMAO. But, a "surge" in popularity is the curse. If Guardian wasn't SSOOOoo popular it probably could have aired as originally edited. This is why people where worried about Untamed being so wildly popular as fans worried it would get canceled during airing for being so.
Wait I'm curious though, why are time travel and Korean people censored? Like I get homophobic, smoking, drinking…
The government saw an "alarming" infatuation with SK men that does not sit right with the national image. Having a flux of dramas where rich SK men where the prize and driving off into the sunset with hardworking Chinese women is considered dangerous for "easily influenced" female minds. So, this is why Rain's drama Diamond Lover changes weirdly, Jade Lovers will probably never see the light of day, Huge advertising contracts where canceled and other collaborative projects were straight out nixed.
really? but Jong Suk is still doing his military duties until 2021 so probably false.
This drama was filmed years ago and was to follow Diamond Lovers with Rain. The government didn't want SK men as leads and Diamond Lovers was already airing. This is why the DiamondLovers changes during two-thirds of the way and Jade Lovers got shelved..... If it ever comes out, which it won't, it'll be seriously dated.
This drama is trying too hard to be smart. The editing is terrible and the color/lighting is distracting; sets the tone for "dark" when the editing is falling short. If this were a dark comedy, everything would make sense. The story could be salvaged if they made "Uncle" and "Earnest Cop" the male leads as their interactions with the FL are all that's going on. She even has more chemistry, now, with the loan shark...No matter how many times they want to "remind" us about the OTP in flashbacks. There are plenty of dramas out there where the leads have no scenes together for episodes and we are still convinced they are supposed to be together. This drama isn't giving us that and who cares about the political/corporate shizz...... Dropped.
I'm not getting the whole "I grew up in a con family" but keeps getting conned herself AND can suggest working…
nothing normal about teaming up with the chick that got both you and your daddy in Jail leaving you broke. The "plot" is still yet to be determined as we've gone from revenge against the Boss Chick, To revenge against runaway con-hubby, to revenge against unknown killer. I though we were doing fine three plots ago with a potential "Mr &Mrs Smith" gong on with the two con artists not knowing both were pulling cons toward the same goal. Kinda disappointed in the non-growth of the FL, the "uncle" that's teetering on the line of almost being sleezy,and the weird creepy arsonists that everyone knows about but act like he's hard to find.
this trend of time jump editing needs to end. Said that, WTF did I just watch? My revenge went out of the window.…
I'm not getting the whole "I grew up in a con family" but keeps getting conned herself AND can suggest working together with the (decade's worth of hate) "enemy" over a guy you met. Like Whut?!?!! I'd be steady hating both, suspicious of the "death" and calling the police on the loan sharks. Hideout until the insurance is handled and leave the country. It's not like she has anything to stay for. I don't know what they're going for but the FL is starting to show the personality of a rock. Prison didn't teach her to have any chill. That's a lesson that "uncle-not-uncle "should've taught first. Even Cop Innocent can see through her. And I agree with other posters, the cop and FL would make a better drama. I can easily see a Tom and Jerry situation that could make a more exciting storytelling
