I hope to see more flashback about how the relationship between these 2 developed overtime, paricularly the unique, signature greetings they invented. I bet it was another super cute moment.

It could take a while but I am also looking forward to seeing what could happen between those two. Talking about impossibility.

I am pretty sure her resignation will be short lived.

Her father may not have a lot of screen time and half of his scenes are flashbacks. However, it's no denial that he is a great dad and without him, WYW wouldn't become what and who she is today. I wish we will see some good personal story and happiness for this guy.

I agree. However, it's a very powerful writing. The scene, together with a few other interaction and behavior of others, contribute to the decision WYW made at the end of the episode.

OMG!

Besides all the secrets that have yet to be revealed, I wonder if there are more evil plans in the making by Jin Wu. Other than switching souls, we don't know his skill level as a mage. I hope someone evil, maybe controlled by him, if not himself, will be revealed later. That will give Hang Uk the ultimate motivation to get trained and become the best mage in that world. Maybe he will decide to sacrifice his relationship with MD to achieve that goal.

@Vniverse, she didn't deny. LoL

I read your comment despite of the warning. It's genius. At the same time, i wish i didn't. Now, i can't wait the whole week.

Timing of the flashback event is not clear. Did Naksu's family tragedy around the time Jang Uk was born? Her dad could havw been in charge of the birth record and as Jang Uk's dad changed his birth record so that people would not know he was in fact thr former King's son. He had a reason to kill him. But i also think there are more events before that. Ight we have yet been told.

The question is "Why"? Stay tune.

Thanks for the reminder. Got carried away.

The key underlying issues of the case in this episode -
1. An immature, low self esteem daughter, pairing with a dominating father who decides everything in their family and run the family like a CEO running a company
2. It's an arranged marriage. Neither the groom not the bride love the other
3. The lawsuit is about getting 10 billion Korean won from the hotel

The breakthrough is the daughter's decision to take the first steop and make the first decison on her own - by telling the judge she wants to withdraw the case.

The story could work even if she didn't have a person in love or if that person were male to fit the expectations of a boarder audience. However, as WYW is not a typical lawyer, we should expect the show to continue exploring other characters and experience that are different.

If the couple went through their marriage, they probably would eventually file for divorce and all the points you brought up can be valid in the divorce proceedings.

Arthdal Chronicle is #1 at 54 billion won (estimate).
We know AC was massive with a huge and expensive cast, location shootings overseas, etc. Alchemy Souls shouldnt be close to that but i will be curious to see their final expense

I wonder how the budget of this drama compared to other high budget kdramas. Unlike some of the period kdramas, where the buildings and outdoor set are familiar, they seems to include some expensive sets to make themselve stand out. Special effects and post production CGI are not cheap neither.

Does anyone know if this is considered Kang Ki Young's first main role or at least 1st time as 2nd ML? He has been around about 10 years now and I have seen him in numerous supporting role. Great actor but the competition to be ML is very tough in Kdrama. This is not doubt a hit drama already so I hope this would help his career as well.

After the first episode, it has become the top drama on my watch list. Park Eun Bin never stop amazes me with her performance. Casts for the supporting and guest roles are strong as well. It's such a warm hearted story and has the ingredients to be very popular. I will be watching this drama with laughs and tears for the weeks to come.

I would be super happy if i could understand 50% Korean. I understand the expressions and certain phases but beyond that has been impossible.

I doen't know if people are "bringing" the rating down. I assume most people have better things to do in their lives but I could be wrong.

However, there are more about rating in mydramalist -

When you move your cursor to the rating number, you can see more ratings (up to 4 ratings - currently watching, completed, dropped and varified/stars ratings). The overall number is supposed to be combined of all (with certain build up algorithm). Also, there are usually a time gap since the system doesn't run the numbers in real time. As you can imagine, for any drama, the rating from "dropped" would be lower than the other three numbers. Also, the number in the first could fluctuate from its eventual value as more people are not yet voted.

In addition, you can also see how individual episodes are rated when you click on Episode Guides.
