I agree that love is a daily choice and love is action more than feelings. I also think that psychologically there are times when we feel strong and times when we feel overwhelmed and make poor choices. I don't know where you live, but here in the US we are only now emerging from collective trauma post-Covid. People lose jobs, parents or children and lose their bearings. People make poor choices for any number of reasons.

Please mark your post as a spoiler.

Ugh, still waiting for Netflix USA to drop ep 8. Glad that SPY finally wised up - and yes, took long enough.

Exactly.

The writer Lee Si Eun didn't act that way, and she had much more to lose.

I agree with you, knowing that I'm inviting a torrent of hate posts. I do like BHR, but I would hate to be in a relationship with her. She is abusive and toys with people. Very different from her on-air persona.Which goes to show that all of them are multi-dimensional. Have not seen episode ep 8 yet - maybe we'll finally see Pi Young become more than a Stepford wife (well put, @Lorelei Gilmore).

Ha ha! Love it! Will be tough though :)

For the record, I don’t like all the married people I know. I like the writer and I like BHR, despite her vanity. She has chutzpah. I like that.
I don’t like SPY - she’s smug and entitled and just not that interesting. I don’t like the mother-in-law but she is charming and I think the actress playing her is gorgeous and sexy. Watched all 100 episodes of Once Again because of Kim Bo Yun.
Of the mistresses, I only like Song Won. Nam Ga Bin is a space cadet and Ah Mi is a twit.
There - I don’t like many of the people on this show yet I find it addictive. Guess that makes me a curmudgeon :)

Thanks, Pepop. I hadn’t believed in karma before, but lots of terrible things happened to him after I moved out, then the brain cancer.

And how did that pile of grow larger? Two immin bags hold a lot, but not the big cube of cash that was in the apartment in episode 5.

As it happens, I was cheated on, and karma visited my ex-fiance and his friend. At the time, I was happy about the misfortunes that fell on him after our breakup. He apologized for what he had done and we moved on. Years later, he died of brain cancer. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Mmm. Been watching too many serial killer dramas?

I'm liking it so far, but how the hell does a small woman propel heavy bags of money out of a deep well by herself with a ladder or rope?

Plot hole 2 - I did wonder how a tutor could afford to be a champion equestrienne. (There seem to be a lot of K dramas with horses).
Hierarchy-wise, I would think that a famous actress would be more acceptable for a chaebol family than someone who didn't seem to have a family, like Hye Jin, kinda like Meghan Markle was seen as an asset initially.

Good one! I loved Mouse too!

JY recreated his mother/stepmother dynamic for his own son.

I felt bad for him by the end, but he was already self-destructing. He had to die so that others could live.

Thanks for that. Does anyone know where the buildings are? Are these museums or actual homes?

Right? My crack is responding to the Love, Marriage and Divorce (season 2) board. Came here to get a breather :)

Lee Hyun Wook WAS a revelation for me. Had not seen him in anything else before. But surely, you would agree that the women were phenomenal actors too!

hee hee - no, I'm not pregnant and I don't think I'm manipulative but perhaps my family would disagree :)

In case it's not clear, I don't think it's ok for people to cheat, but people do. Interesting to see their stories and the aftermath. In this case, BHR and PSH are not compatible nor happy with each other and I think that moving on is in everyone's best interest. You can't unscramble eggs.

it seems that people are ok with serial killers, extreme inequality, consumerism, feudalism, poverty, emotional abuse, slavery in the Joseon era, South Korea's educational system, and many other crimes and abhorrent conditions. They're just not ok with adultery, judging from the reactions on this board. Wonder why?
