Not when you wake up after 25 years, is living in a student building, have no food, no money. Your sister hates…
Also, you have to think how she felt whenever she sees her current self in the mirror.
It is not easy to build yourself, but it is very easy to crash. She can do it, as you've said she already had the confidence and experience. She just needs to pick up the pieces and find her missing memories. Especially now when her missing memories are the key in solving her problem and the very reason her life went to ruins.
The FL really has no professionalism or work ethics. Among her many mistakes, she apparently has forgotten about…
Truth.
But at the same time, it is reality.
Very few actually honors confidentiality. Humans cannot hold something a secret or not discuss it with someone for very long. Otherwise, it would have been easy to take a job in an intelligence agency.
It is also the reason why many companies with trade secrets to protect rejects anyone with a family member or close friend who might have a conflicting interest. If possible, they'll hire them all.
We humans will share information sooner or later. Very few untrained people can truly keep quiet about anything.
So, even though the FL is not supposed to share information, they actually depicted the reality of things there.
Now, I'm oversimplifying this, there are far more nuances and dynamics at play wherever confidentiality or NDA are involved.
Okish episode 9 and 10. The ML was had screentime less than the secondary characters. I wish they would focus…
I understand where you're coming from. But, you know kdramaland, they mix everything. 😅 It becomes a matter of, which writer and director can successfully mix everything. (There cases where it ended up a mess. 😝)
I hope they won't drag the missing memories too long. By today's episode, we have confirmed pretty much many of our hunches as to what those missing memories were about. 😅
№4. Giving a chanceThis was the FL's entire argument: to give her a chance.- Adults failed to protect her.-…
Ahh, good points. The bully family have more to lose even if they retaliate from a distance later, as the FL's mother will definitely not let it go if her daughter is targetted.
Hmm…it means fear got the best of her at that moment? In a way that makes sense too. When family members are involved, especially children, we easily fold.
I like your insight and analysis. It added a new layer to her mother. Behind the her mask of being a highly successful lawyer, she's as soft as any parent when it comes to their children.
Hmm, I wonder if it extends to her other daughter but because she had to adoid the people talking about her, she hid her? But deep inside it was painful? So, when it came to the FL, she was immediately scared by the threat?
Now I'm more curious about her (mother) story. (Sadly, the show isn't about her. 😅)
I strongly suspect that the FL's father no doubt knew she will time travel back to the past so he taught her everything he knew and made sure she goes home with the magical book.
She's meant to be there. She was the reason the book was written. She did indent many of the cooking wonders of Korea.
And maybe, just maybe, the written history wasn't exactly how it happened (which is often the case) because it was written by their enemies. Or, the history that they know happened after she returned to her own time. The king went insane and the rest is, as they say, history.
Yes, we naturally speak that way.There are two ways we're doieg it:First way: code-switching. This means a person…
Yep. There are many Filipinized Spanish words. And many also evolved to have a different meaning and usage than the original source.
As for the names. It definitely came from the Spanish era when they implemented taxation.
When they first conquered the archipelago, they initially let names be the way they were:
1. First names only 2. Son/Daughter of 3. Clan name and First name 4. First name and clan name
The Spaniards in-charged of taxation gets confused and collections were low, because many were simply saying, "we already paid". Well, their clan did pay already. 😅
So, one day, they implemented a nationwide implementation of:
Given Name Clan Name y Mother's maiden name.
For everyone without an existing family name or clan name, they must choose from the Christian names the Spanish Catholic Church provided.
Those who just want to have a new family name can choose as well.
And the Chinese who were taxed 80 to 100%, toom advantage of it as well. Some those a new one. While some Hispanised their Chinese clan names. (For example, the Xie's changed it to Sese. Some Chines clan branches merged, for example, "Tan", "Sia", "Co" became a Hispanised "Tansioco".)
For many, they chose "Cruz", "de la Cruz". Another is "Santos". So, everyone here knows that Cruz'es and Santos'es are more likely nit related and were descendants of those who chose a new name.
There were also Hispanised local names like Makiling is also spelled as Maquiling by another branch of that clan, which in turn grew large. (But all Makilings and Maquilings are actually one huge clan only).
Manileño, Batangueño, are also Hispanised lical names of Manilenyo and Batangenyo, to mention two.
So, yeah, spellings we use today are a mix of local and Hispanised, we are so used to it, we generally don't notice it. 😁😁
Oh. For counting, it's a mixed of English, Local language, or Spanish. We code switch and code mix naturally.
So, for those not familiar, it does get confusing because our sentences tend to have 2 to 3 different languages mixed in together. Or, we form a pure language sentence and followed it with a different pure language sentence and then followed my mix. 😝
Of course, for us it's natural. It was so natural, even in job interviews, no one cares anymore. If the interviewer wants pure English, they'll say it.
Or, in news interviews, same, mix everything. News reporters even secretly mix in an entirely new word and the whole nation picks it up. (I won't mention names though. 😝)

Haha, that part of their past deserves a short spin-off, a webisode or something. It's an interesting plot.
Yep, I really hope they don't suddenly disappoint us after leading us to a certain direction. 😅 Some final twists just aren't worth it.
And yes, she could have asked her sister for help and information.
