Dude, why is the male lead this guy who can barely act (who has been in too many Netflix dramas for some reason)? Calling him bad in Lady Ok is an understatement... KGE deserves a better partner
It started of okay but the story was carried by the fact that we don't know anything about Sarah Kim. Plot twists…
Yes the police could shut down her lies but they won't be in a good position after that. They can prove the body isn't Sarah Kim's but they can't prove that she isn't Kim Mijeong or that she killed her. If they counter with the body not being Sarah Kim's, her confession would be deemed false because Sarah Kim isn't dead. Then she will basically be innocent since obviously she won't confess to killing Mijeong.
While the purple birkin was the starting point, I doubt it would take long to identify the body as "Sarah Kim" because so many people saw her at the party with the same clothes etc.
Watched the director's cut. Not bad but not perfect. The front parts were very well done and made me understand how Yumi came to be as an adult. But at some point I felt that the plot stagnated. Luckily it took some pace towards the end but the last act didn't feel very satisfying as there was too much focus on the husband. And also sorry but I thought it could have been better if delivered by a better actress than Suzy...
Maybe I came in with too high expectations because people said this is her best performance. She does have the perfect look but to me it looked like the role was too difficult for her to handle, especially towards the end. She was okay in some parts but lacking in others, especially scenes that required nuance. Because of that, the already slow pace felt even slower because she was just so... expressionless most of the time.
I think you will relate more if you are a woman who consumes luxury goods or have been tempted by them. Not saying…
True. There's this weird psychology and contradiction where people clearly know how superficial luxury goods are, but buying it still satisfies them anyway. Having your self worth tied to the commodities that you own. For women, luxury bags, gold accessories. For men maybe expensive cars/watches etc.
Superficial story , drawn out to 8 episodes , one may not be related by most people. It had descend into convoluted…
I think you will relate more if you are a woman who consumes luxury goods or have been tempted by them. Not saying that women are materialistic or anything, but this is mostly a female thing. A lot of middle class women buy luxury items to boost their egos. Source: my female colleagues who had a lot to say about luxury bags after watching this show.
