The were not related by blood. She was adopted after her parents died. If I remember correctly, I think her dad might have worked for the folks who adopted her. The female lead and her adopted brother started to have feelings for each other when they were young. In order to stop them from ever being able to get together, his mother adopted her. The adopted mother threaten the brother that the female lead would be thrown out of their household if he didn't go along with the adoption. I don't think he told the female lead at the time that the reason he agreed and convinced her to go along with the adoption was because of what his mother threaten to do. Both were severely traumatized by the actions of the mother.
I liked the ending of the book better as it related to the adoptive mother (female lead refused to have any contact with her) but then the mother's actions in the book were a lot worse than in the drama (in the book she set the male lead up for a crime punishable by death. He was only saved from death at the last minute by actions of his birth mother).
While i wait for more ep to air can somebody recommend me a good romance daily drama?
It's an old one, 2013, but Ugly Alert was an excellent daily drama. Another old, 2013, but really good daily drama was The King's Daughter, Soo Baek Hyang. (Hmmm, 2013 must have been a good year for daily dramas).
There are a lot of excellent family weekend dramas that are of similar length (50 hours or so) if you would like some recommendations of those.
In addition, I watch a lot of Chinese dramas which tend to be longer than Korean dramas, I seen several that I would rate as outstanding.
So Seok Ryu apparently spent years working for a major organization in the US in what appeared to be a high level job. So why doesn't she have any money?
So he suffers from depressed. They took him immediately into custody - probably didn’t want the publicity of him committing suicide like they drove poor Lee Sun Kyun…
Jung Hae In looks so young. I was expecting him to be in his early 20s so was surprised to learn that he's 36 and older than Jung So Min. But I guess it been awhile since I watched his first drama, Bride of the Century.
Has anyone ever made a comeback after being caught with drugs?
Ju Ji Hoon In 2009, Ju was banned from appearing on the three major broadcasters MBC, KBS, and EBS after being found guilty of using ecstasy and ketamine. He was sentenced to six months of jail time, suspended for one year, 120 hours of community service, and a fine of ₩360,000. The ban at MBC was lifted in 2013 while the other two lifted the ban in 2019.
Loved this drama, but then I've loved all of Gu Man's dramas. First watched this drama back in 2016 and recently rewatched it and still really enjoyed it.
I do agree that the FL's outfits and wigs were horrible and time hasn't improved them any. Her outfit for her marriage certificate had to be absolute worse - big eyes and were those dog ears on her shoulders??
Hmmm - he didn't seem like much of a villain. The two Princes were definitely worse...
Not sure why the director felt the need to put the HEA in a bonus episode. Why end the drama on an unhappy note. It would have been much better to have included the happy ending as part of the drama, especially, since it's usually harder to find the bonus episode and lots of time it doesn't get subbed with the drama.
It was also odd that the final episode used a voice over at the end to explain a lot of the continuing storyline that wasn't included in the drama. It's like they left off 10 episodes from the drama and crammed the action in a voice over.
