I am not disagreeing with your post. I always enjoy them. However, this is the way I see things. Jang Mi should…
Another issue is that she does not know anything about managing such a big business. Hwa Yeong told Jun Ho to teach Seo Rin about the business, and during Jang Mi's early days as Seo Rin, he would give her tasks to do. But whenever she was in his office, she was always in such a hurry to leave because she did not want to spend too much time with him- I guess because of Baek Ho. But those were opportunities she could have used to really study the business and understand just how much influence Hwa Yeong has in the company. She was even surprised that the stock price dropped because of Hwa Yeong's arrest. She would have known the consequences if she had taken the time to study, and not spent so much time making out and flirting with her boyfriend, every chance she got. And as a lawyer, Baek Ho knows about business- he should have advised her to study. But he wanted her to sit back while he did the revenge because it was too dangerous.
She knows what Dream Group means to Seo Rin and their Grandpa so she should have come up with a plan to take down Hwa Yeong, while also safeguarding Dream Group. In fact, she can still do so now. She knows that the marriage is a part of Hwa Yeong's plan so she should be working behind the scenes to find ways of taking countermeasures- rather than just sitting and pining over Baek Ho and bullying people. She should ask Jun Ho to teach her- he will bend over backwards to help her. And he would never tell Hwa Yeong what they are up to. In the art of war, you make the enemy (Hwa Yeong) feel comfortable, before launching a fatal attack.
Maybe the major problem that the writers and Jang Mi have is that Seo Rin is still alive. So Jang Mi has always been working under the assumption that when Seo Rin wakes up, she will go back to her life as Jang Mi. So she always had one foot out the door and was never able to commit to the revenge. And when Baek Ho and Tae Pyung joined her, she was back to being Jang Mi, but just at a different address. And even now, she still cannot commit to the revenge because she keeps thinking about her lost romance.

"Too much sweet potatoes, not enough cider"πππππ. I love that and I second it. What did they say this in reference to? What are their major complaints?
Yes- Jun Ho has not done anything bad to Jang Mi. In her eyes, he is guilty by association with Hwa Yeong. He…
I just read the synopsis for Wife Returns- looks good. How did it end? It shows that the poorer and less educated twin cannot replace the rich one for a good revenge story. Jang Mi is simply not on the same level as Seo Rin, so it's why she is struggling and failing to get any good ideas.
Yes- alter ego πππ. Just brainstorming how the writers can keep the female lead that they want, while giving her Seo Rin's personality πππ. It's a win-win.
If the writers wanted to, they could now focus on Seo Rin more, giving her a much larger arc than Jang Mi- and it should be ok because the actress is the same so she stays the lead. But what is preventing them from doing so is that they have Jang Mi in a major love story with Baek Ho, which they have premised the show on, so that will always take precedent over everything else. They can fix this by giving Baek Ho his own storyline, independent of Jang Mi's, allowing him to keep his male lead spot. But, unfortunately, the writers wonβt swap around Jang Mi with Seo Rin, so Jang Mi will be the first female lead and get more screen time till the end.
But maybe the writers will surprise us- this might be the first time that they have kept both twins alive in a revenge drama. So they might try something newπ€·ββοΈ. With a 140- episode endorsement, they can do anything now.
Ok Hee and Tok Hee were just nicknames that Suk Hee gave them while they were still in the womb. They were never…
It's mostly because of her mental condition. And she didn't know Seo Rin's name until recently. She calls Jang Mi, Jang Mi. And nicknames can still be used.
Random thought: I'm glad they didn't keep their original names. Jang Mi and Seo Rin sound so much better than…
Ok Hee and Tok Hee were just nicknames that Suk Hee gave them while they were still in the womb. They were never meant to be their birth names. It seems to be common practice in kdramas to give babies nicknames before they are born. They are just play names. In 'The Real Has Come', the baby was nicknamed, 'Real', before she was born- then she was given a proper name after birth.
Yes- Jun Ho has not done anything bad to Jang Mi. In her eyes, he is guilty by association with Hwa Yeong. He…
I hope the writers don't turn her into Jang Mi 2.0. Someone like Seo Rin can never be the good girl. She is independent and fierce. I hope the writers keep her on that trajectory, before giving her some character growth towards the end.
This might be where Suk Hee comes in- she will have to play referee to her two twin daughters and try to win Seo Rin back over from the 'dark side'. Especially, if Seo Rin ends up siding with Hwa Yeong, initially- two mothers fighting over Seo Rin.
Everyone is rooting for Seo Rin ππ . At this point, we would be glad if Jang Mi disappeared from the script entirely, and Seo Rin became the main female lead. The writers can explain it away by saying that Seo Rin is Jang Mi's alter egoππ.
Yes- Jun Ho has not done anything bad to Jang Mi. In her eyes, he is guilty by association with Hwa Yeong. He…
Tae Pyung is cool too- he has really stepped up as the man of the house and I love how gentle and patient he is with Suk Hee. He will be richly rewarded. I hope he won't go back to singing in the end πππ.
I don't mind San Wol either- she is living up to her character so we shouldn't expect much from herππ.
In fact, personally the only characters I find really annoying are the main leadsππππ- Jang Mi and Baek Ho can do anything and will be fine in the end because they are protected by virtue of being the leads. Second leads do not have that same privilege.
@TooEmotional...I must have skipped over this or I'm having a senior moment.Eun Ae is YeonJa and the dad's daughter…
Yes, she is their child by birth. After Eun Ae was released from jail, Yeon Ja said she regretted drinking seaweed soup after giving birth to her. So she is their child by birth.
It seems that when Eun Ae was 5, her Mom forgot to pick her up from the playground.
JMi: I shouldn't feel guilty about how I treat JHo. I only need to feel bad about BHo's feelings? JHo never did…
Yes- Jun Ho has not done anything bad to Jang Mi. In her eyes, he is guilty by association with Hwa Yeong. He didn't ask to be born as Hwa Yeong's son and he literally just found out about her, not long before Jang Mi. He did not participate in any of Hwa Yeong's crimes. So she has judged him because of his blood. And while she is bullying him and being rude, she forgets that he is not only Hwa Yeong's son, but he is also Yeong Ja and Nam Bong's precious son, and Baek Ho's brother. So Hwa Yeong is not her only victim here. Even when asking him about Yeong Ja, she refers to her as Lawyer Han- she cannot say- "how is your Mom doing?".She is trying so hard to link his identity only to Hwa Yeong, while ignoring the Kang family. It is quite disappointing, considering that her Dad adopted her. I am sure she only wants to be known as Bok Gil's daughter and not the daughter of the Chairman's son. She is very narrow focused and cannot see the whole picture. Then she accuses Jun Ho of not caring for his family because he wants to proceed with the wedding. Then accuses him of starting to warm up to Hwa Yeong because he wants to proceed with the wedding. But the wedding was her idea- he is fulfilling his part of the bargain πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ. She acts like Jun Ho forced her into this- it was her ideaππππ
Jang Mi is becoming less and less likeable. She masquerades as a good girl but is actually a mean girl. I hope Seo Rin teaches her some important lessonsππππ. A slap or two would be a nice starter.
the best thing they did was give baekho a storyline that didn't revolve around jangmi, because that way we won't…
Fragile omegaπππ like did they have to show him looking so sad as the family meeting was talking place?πππ . If Jang Mi cheated on him repeatedly, he would take her back each timeπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ. He is a lot like Manager Lee that way. No matter how many times Hwa Yeong finds a new man and abuses Manager Lee, he will love her and be loyal to her till the end. Baek Ho needs his own story line, independent of Jang Mi. He is the first man, after all. I hope the writers will actually allow him to have one. He should have his own secrets too- and cry about other things, for a change ππππ.
Poor Seo Rin- when everyone discovered that Jang Mi was not the one in the hospital bed, they all just stopped visiting her. So Seo Rin has good grounds to be jealous because it's all about "Jang Mi". Everyone loves Jang Mi, even her man, Jun Ho. But people hardly think about Seo Rin. Seo Rin needs to be the anti-Jang Mi and bring more excitement to the show. She can do the crazy things that Jang Mi cannot do because she is the FL, but will also still be ok in the end.
I hope she finds Jang Mi's letter to Baek Ho where she says that she likes Seo Rin's posh life and wants to stay living as herπππ. That should ignite quite the fire ππ. I am guessing Baek Ho walks around with the letter and will accidentally drop itππ.
I hope Eun Hyeong's wife gives Eun Ae back the money before she leaves. And I hope she goes through with the divorce. She and Eun Hyeong are just too different. Eun Hyeong cannot go against his morals just to please her. I can forsee Eun Hyeong moving back in with his parents and I think his daughter will too. His wife is far too busy to raise a child. She will probably try to come back when the family's link to the Chairman is revealed. Are the writers planning to put Eun Hyeong together with Cho Rong?π
I have no words for Yeon Ja- bullying Eun Ae like that- she does not care much for her. It might be because she sees a lot of herself in her. She also blocked from her memory that she abandoned Eun Ae. I am guessing that is how she was abandoned or got lost when she was younger. And the Chairman's wife couldn't find her.
Please, writers, give Eun Ae back her money ππ. Jebalππ. That's all I ask π.
So Jang Mi's plan to shred Hwa Yeong's heart to pieces is to bully Jun Ho in front of herππππ. She should have just abandoned the revenge plan altogether, stayed with Baek Ho and gone back to her life in the side dish storeπππππ. Instead of her lurking in the corridors and pining after Baek Ho π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ, and losing focus, yet againπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ. It's time to pass the revenge baton to someone else- she has failed, dismally and miserably. The writers are really struggling with her character. She needs to be doing something- she says she wants the wedding- fine- so she should also be going to beg Yeong Ja to let it happen- kneel like Hwa Yeong did. Now that Grandpa knows about the affair- she should beg him to let her get married. She should not just be sitting there like a deer in headlightsπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ. She should fight for her wedding.
Now Yeong Ja, on the other hand, that evil look that she gave her husband at the end- brilliant- chef's kiss. The new hair, the outfit- gorgeous. I hope the writers will use her some more and that her arc won't just end here. And now Suk Hee is waking up too- she needs to get some revenge action. I'm glad that Tae Pyung also noticed that she is extra chatty lately and can speak clearly. Quite clever of the writers. Suk Hee should focus on Manager Lee- he's the one who implemented Hwa Yeong's plans. He is unscathed, so far.
Looks like the Chairman will be replacing Seo Rin in that hospital bed. With Hwa Yeong messing with his meds, one huge shock will send him into a coma. The shock will be the twin reveal. His absence will allow the twins to roam around freely. All the important players know about the twins, anyway.
So Baek Ho has suddenly developed a new habit of touching his ear. So I guess we should be on the lookout for someone with the same habit- most likely his bio-dad. So we should expect a new character or an old character to come back- the Chairman's son. I am guessing he will have the same habit and it will be used to throw us off. He cannot be his bio-dad. Maybe the Chairman will develop the same habit in the near future tooπ€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈ. In any case, I hope this potential relatives thing is sorted out before Baek Ho and Jang Mi reunite- it will be such a waste of time to have them reunite, break up again, and get back together πββοΈ. The show is not just about them and their love story. They can reunite romantically at the end- preferably the last episode- after Jang Mi becomes a chef π.
Seo Rin waking up and wondering why she is alone- are they laying the ground work for potential conflict with Hwa Yeong and/or Jang Mi? With the news reporting on the upcoming wedding, she is bound to see it. She needs to sneak out of that home and terrorize people.
told you we have another The Second Husband hahahathat's why Suk Hee's memories are about to return. I knew it.…
Indeed. Suk Hee's memories coming back was just so random and was really out of nowhere. So they did that so they would have a story for the extra episodes. It might be better to just focus on Suk Hee's revenge now- she is the victim. Even that rattle toy she was suddenly playing with. Where was it all along? All a part of the new plot.
Seo Rin marrying Baek Ho could be fun. They did have chemistry ππ.
JMi - if she doesn't want to marry JHo, don't do it. The way she acts towards him is so rude. She doens't like…
From her current behaviour, it's clear that if she had been raised as an heiress, she would have been far worse than Seo Rin. So being raised without much, saved her.
An official from MBC said, "We decided to extend the run to repay the support of our viewers. We ask for your…
Clearly not- they wasted so much time on silly things already- I hope the extension will not allow them to continue to do that. I hope they take the criticism and make some serious changes. The 120 was already too much for them- they struggled to fill the time. Now 140? It's sad because they set foundations for so many good storylines, but opted to waste time on unimportant things.
'The First Man' will be extended by 20 episodes. The MBC daily drama 'The First Man' (Planning: Namgung Seong-woo,…
An official from MBC said, "We decided to extend the run to repay the support of our viewers. We ask for your continued interest in the exhilarating, satisfying counterattacks and fast-paced plot developments that will unfold".
looks like we will have 20 more episodessee be in total 140https://m.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=202604241354360310
Oh no- extending by 1-5 episodes is fine but by 20? It means they are going to make the characters do crazier things and even have some become villainous just to push the story forward. So maybe the wedding might actually happen. It also means the FL has to play dual characters for an additional 20 episodes- which is not easy. I wonder if they knew this before waking Seo Rin up. If they did, then I'm all for Seo Rin getting plastic surgery and bringing in a new actress for 40 episodes. That will give Seo Rin a good villainous arc. Or they might give Seo Rin amnesia πππ.
Anyway, the writers are going to do crazier things and it will be a very bumpy ride. I think the extension is because fans have been engaging more over their dissatisfaction of Jang Mi and her choice to dump Baek Ho and marry Jun Ho created a lot of buzz. Sure, the buzz is not good but any press is good press. There have been a lot more comments in kisskh over the last two weeks. So to keep us talking, the writers have to annoy us even moreπππ.
