I'm sad I didn't comment around the time I finished this, cause I'm still feeling the disappointment and being pissed off but I can't really pin point it... anyways could have been so much better! what a waste

Really considering dropping this one, but I'm only at episode 4, so not sure, if it will get better. I can kinda already tell what the plot is gonna be. We have a 2nd ML who obviously has no chance. The major plotpoint of the scandal and how it progressed so fast and how FL didnt even wanna clear it up, made no sense, considering it also affected her sisters too. The boomer characters really annoy me as well, a bit less than in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, but annoyed me nonetheless. Its like these dramas trying to convince me that koreans are just gossiping POS.

I really really tried to like this but I could only watch half of the episodes. I´m not going to bully myself into finishing this

Kim Ji Won acted great in this drama.

I think that's the case for YOU, but you can't affirm it's the same for every depressed person in the world. Indeed, you only reach that low if you don't seek help before it happens and not everyone who's at their lowest as the characters in the show needs to hear cruel things cause it makes'em "a person to be ready" like Koo Ryeon did sometimes. But anyway, that's not the point of the show neither the character Koo Ryeon, since therapy is never mentioned throughout the drama and all the characters seem to recovery really fast for such deep traumatic episodes...

And to be clear, I loved the show and Koo Ryeon backstory and personality, although I still think she didn't handle some cases as carefully as she should have, but she did incredible things to help people and I respect that.

Ah, and sorry for not saying before but I hope you're doing better now ❤️

Not to mention the slowest fucking security gates on the planet.

I wonder how will you react if your ex kidnap you...

lee yu mi is a great actress In the drama it was not only the main actor that showed that he was suffering from something, lee yu mi was suffering form something and expressed emotions so please don't criticize just to praise your own favorite actor

One of the worst dramas of 2021 for sure. So damn dragged out and boring. Almost all characters are unlikeable. Weak payoff in the end. Stay away from this one.

Wow so patronising

Goo Hae Won shouldn't have had her "happy" ending, it goes against the narrative.

The characters were its biggest downfall. All the characters were insane, demented, deranged and devoid of integrity. There was no layers to their madness. You'll have to humanize them first before stripping it away. Skipping the first step would devalue their actions and take away from the watching experience. Aside from the characters, the drama was excruciatingly slow for no apparent reason other than filling the contracted runtime. Slow burners are acceptable when they serve a purpose to either immerse the viewers into its world or to seamlessly build up the tension. The drama failed to do either. The twists were overdone for the sake of it rather than adding to the narrative meaningfully. Even then, they weren't appealing nor interesting. Once the memory was restored the drama took a sharp and sudden turn for the worst going against what it tried to build up to, this includes the ending. One more thing, there was an attempt to have a play on artistic symbolism but none of which landed well. Partially because of the two aforementioned points.

she is a deeply flawed and psychologically complex character. her acting "evil" is a mask to cover her insecurities. she is driven by hate and all kinda negative emotions. people like her because they can relate to it, and because she was wronged by both her bf and the other fl who remained unrepentant.

Update : I have finished it.
Not satisfied with the ending 😂

I get that HJ runs away maybe to avoid the prison, but why she have to lie about running away with WJ? Now it seems like everyone got a happy ending except her poor husband and the kids. Her husband will forever think that she ran away with another guy, and the kids will be clueless about why their mom disappear. The body found was never really investigated anyway, so it's almost like she ran away from nothing tbh.

The reflection of you

Before, I want to warn you that everybody in this series should have seen a psy a least 4 sessions for each.

Globally, the drama is slow-paced but don’t just stop here because it’s really good. I wanted to stop because I was getting bored but the way it’s written makes you want to know how it’s going to finish.

Starting with Hae-Won, the scene where Hui-Jui asks her "What are you gaining from that ?" and she responds that she doesn’t care as long as she suffers as much as she did.
She knows she might not get anything and may lose more in this battle but she still wants to get revenge. If she looked around her, she was having so many opportunities but she was too obsessed with this revenge. Maybe it’s my way of thinking but, for me sometimes, you should not wait for the apology of people to move on, and forgiveness it’s not for people but only for you and your peace.

At first, I was on her side but the more we were going the more I thought she needed medical help.

Hui-Jui lacks so much good sense. Her husband was always on her side but instead of explaining to him and finding a solution together, she just dug her grave. Woo-Jae has shown many times, that he was ready to do everything for her but she didn’t think of putting him in a restraining order ???
She was so fierce when she just needed to apologize to HW, but I mean I could understand, not wanting to apologize to the woman that just hurt your daughter.

In the end, I am a little bit disappointed.
I know it’s not a happy drama but, HW asking HJ to abandon her family, especially her kids! Just seems evil to me. I shed a tear although I didn’t really appreciate HJ. #Fragile
I only understand after reading the comment and rewatching the scenes, where the blood did come from lol.
I think the end was a little rushed.
