Not really a good show to watch if you can't understand Korean and had to constantly rely on reading subtitles. I got lost along the way because I do get distracted with other things, I probably would have appreciated the show more if I have that context.

Having said that, the show is pretty much all about power grabbing and manipulating situation to their own favor. There was a sub story on romance which was abandoned, and only revisited on last episode.

if you are looking for romance, it's not what you want.

Yep so much loopholes lol.

Same sentiment and question. Makes no sense too when you consider the plot twist. lol.

Please tell me that the FL actually have multiple copy of the same dress. If not, I feel bad for the actress for wearing the same one all throughout the series lol.

She died 5 years ago. But of course her body did not age, so in theory, she is older than the male lead. It will probably look weird for you since physically she is younger, and that's what you see on screen

That's the biggest gripe I have on this series lol.

Prosecutor and public defender should have recuse themselves from these cases.

Good run. LJS dramas don't disappoint.

I think they did not focus much on the mother because they wanted her to be the ultimate fairytale villain. I notice that a lot of kdrama they do tend to humanize villains/baddies for redemption but this is not in this case, since primarily they want to focus on the journey of the three main leads.

I agree with MY and GT relationship, which was also my main gripe of the series.

I'm on episode 13 now.

First 8 episodes feels a bit of a drag. I was not really hating it. I'm not liking it either. It was a good turn around when you get to see the ML have an emotional breakdown and that's where I feel more invested but until then my general feeling of the show is the same. It feels overhype, plot/storytelling was not as compelling and interesting as I was hoping. I can see why many people would drop it, I was tempted to do so.

Aesthetically tho, the show's cinematography is beautiful. And of course, the leads are beautiful to look at and they do have physical chemistry. The acting was also great.

Let's see if there are any great happenings in the next 3 episodes.

Delicious. Yum yum.

How did this series spawn sequels? It was nothing special.

Fiat's character is probably the most tragic. He had twisted idea of love, maltreated as a kid, gang raped, unrequited love - ended up in suicide.

The dad is just a piece of shit, offering her daughter as a sacrificial lamb.

I'm in between whether the gift seller should be a real person and not a supernatural entity. I think it would have been scarier if he was a real person but at the same time, the supernatural aspect provide the moral dilemma and symbolism of hate.

I don't get how Num is the old one suffered with old age. Didn't Kim also have a very short lifespan too?

The first few episodes are probably my favorite. Well, you have Fiat running around naked lol.

I was expecting way too much from this series and ended up disappointed.

I like this type of genre. But I feel like the acting was not as superb and the storyline was not that great. I was not really attached to any characters, and don't really care if they die or survive.

The show and plot was heavily socio-political based and driven. They rely a lot on that to tell the story.

Im on episode 2, I think Fiat is good looking but I feel not so sold on him as the lead tho.

I don't even understand May's existence in the show. Why? I thought at first she was a younger sister of Thada then it becomes some weird psycho love obsessive girl. She is like an elementary student, locked up on her room. So confused. She should be in a psych ward. She should not be tolerated to see Thada.

I made it halfway. Getting bored. The pretty faces of two ML only saving it for me. Na is pretty to look at. I don't mind waking up naked next to Thada.

First episode.

This is the second series Ive watch with Tay Tawan.

So Ok, I had to admit. HE IS SO CUTE.

I really like Art but I just hate how he kept all his feelings until confronted at the end of the series. The whole plot of getting into fight with OngArt is so stupid. It was a convenient plot for the writers to put Art out of the love triangle storyline.

Chompoon is defo a fan favorite.

There is zero chemistry between Puen and Prim. I cringe everytime they push it. Puen and Foon had a good screen chemistry. Puen could have just made up his mind and sort his feelings early on and won't have this messy plot problem.

At the end it was disappointing that writers did not put them in the same frame (instead use a flashback frame meh). It would have been nice to see a flashforward where Go and Poon had their own family. Puen/Foon had theirs too. Prim and Art finally happily dating.

This series is okay. If you are generally looking for a slice of life/slow pace storytelling about friendship then maybe this is for you. The characters can be infuriating, the show can easily condensed into 10-12 episodes, but the whole love romantic angle was stretched out. The actors were good in portraying the characters.

Netflix: Which country is this available?
