Will I do the same if I were in her position? More likely not. 😂 I'd definitely kill him, increase the risks and danger, acting like I'm superman or Sun Tzu. 😅

It's understandable. But remember, for one, she was abandoned. And by that time, she also learned they were not abandoned but rather "refunded". She is thinking of taking down the whole operation and probably thought:

1. If I kill him, I'll have less chance of taking them down. They will react by temporarily halting operations and destroying all records.
2. Or, they'll go declare war, which we can't take.

So, it's better to keep him alive.

Yes, it was a gamble. But at least they will think they are just kids. They wouldn't react, instead, they'll just dismiss them. Giving them time to hunt down the Head.

Killing someone isn't always the best course of action. Yes, even shooting at the leg can result in a reaction that ups the risks and danger, and in their situation, it won't do them any good.

She made the most advantageous decision for them. The result, they did not react nor increase their alert level. Which allows them room to move.

😃

The kids were probably abandoned.

Or, they also have a secret pregnancy farm where they pay women to carry children but signed a document they will never claim them as their own. (IIRC, there was a case like that decades and decades ago, which inspired many detective and crime stories).

Then, when they're refunded, it's easy to cover it up as long as they stay dead, or off-the-grid. Missing people usually are not followed up after XX days, even more so if it stretches to months and years—oftentimes presumed dead.

So, refunding is actually the easiest part of the entire operation. The law will never look for them after XX days. And if the kids were killed, well, perfect cover up.

I love the gun fight scene, it was simple yet perfectly executed. JinA can star in an action flick.

I want to see Park BoYeong and Jo IHyeon in the same drama or film. The way they act have many similarities, if not exactly the same. Most especially when they're acting sad, neutral, caring, worried, even their voice, tone, pronunciations, inflections, are similar.

They could pass as mother-daughter, sisters, cousins, or maybe even rivals in a thriller or fantasy. 💕💕💕😆😆

In E09 of Heads Over Heels, the way Jo IHyeon acts and speaks is starting to look like Park BoYeong.

When they're neutral or sad, their facial expression, acting, and voice are similar. I think they have similar eyes and lips too, though their face shape are different.

Jo IHyeon is loke Park BoYeong when she was younger. I wonder if IHyeon is a fan of BoYeong, so whenever she was watching her shows, she was unconsciously learning BoYeong's style.

LOL! I want them to appear in the same drama or film! It would be interesting to see them together. Mother-daughter? Sisters? 😂💕💕

Understandable but again he's a little kid who is simply looking for a parent's love and attention. He probably was adopted as a baby or preschool age going by his father's words, "you practically raised him yourself", which means they've been together for years.

To that kid, he probably doesn't remember he was adopted. And even if he does, the years they spent together made the kid believed and give them all his trust. So, of course the kid wouldn't believe his parents are evil people.

Granted, yes, he did make a mistake. By skipping the bag and cement process, the kid was did not reach a point where he was desperate and susceptible to listening. Instead of the kid seeing the old man as a saviour, he saw him as a kidnapper.

If only he bagged him and started the cement process, THEN "saving" him, the kid will listen to him more.

It's an age-old trick. You need to look like their saviour so they'll slowly let their guards down and trust you more. Because he rushed things, the kid ended up calling his mother — which is expected. If he didn't make that call, he isn't a realistic kid because all kids will make that call after what you've been told. 😆

After watching E01.

It's not bad, but it's not good either. E01 was lacking, it wasn't able to hook me. There were also production errors, minor but noticeable. I'm assuming this is a low-budget show.

In any case, let's wait for E02.

That was a spoilery synopsis, it's a summary! 😅

Luckily, it piqued my interest. So,. let's give this a try!

That's true too. It could be a representation of that, for example, the Yakuza had the last laugh in the end.

Ooh! Usually for TVING?

I haven't noticed it before though. Maybe because the PPLs weren't on subsequent episodes or on the preview.

I noticed it because Kopiko was in the episode where Subway appeared in the preview. 🤣🤣 Kopiko was still fresh in my mind!

Ahh, yes! I was trying to remember that phrase, "Oud Wives Tale", it's not used here in the Philippines (since we use our local language for it), but it's exactly that.

🙇🏽

I should remember that when I need it next time. 😅

Haha, yeah, he just died just like that. You're right, it was the reason why he's my first suspicion in that final scene, probably karma's final twist. 😅

Karma: Surprise! We kept him alive because you need to die now! 😈

Same! I was confused by Oh Dollar too and Leo's story beieg inconsistent. They didn't flesh those out, I guess because, as you've said, they were simply a plot device.

Glad to know I'm not alone in those little things, which is a more objective approach in my view.

The show is about being different, not just about how It's Okay to Not Be Okay, yet people are already showing discrimination and prejudice on "age gaps"—actors at that, not the characters.

Besides, what if the characters are real people with a 20-year age gap? Is there something wrong about it? Is it not okay to be different? What if that real-life lovers with a 20-year age gap have disabilities? Is it suddenly okay to be not okay? That's ableism.

🤷🏽

This IOTNBO Philippine adaptation is high-quality. Trust me, it is rare to see such high-quality productions (adaptation or original) from the Philippine showbiz scene. It is by no means perfect but it is definitely worth it.

This.

Like come on, it's an adaptation for crying out loud. It was adapted to fit the local culture and target market. It was also based on local showbiz practices and how much budget the powers-that-be gives them.

Besides, it is not like Korean showbiz is producing high quality adaptations themselves. They do have less than stellar adaptations when compared to the original from another country.

All foreign adaptations are like that. No one is immune from it.

Hence, I don't understand why people keeps on comparing adaptations to the original. Review the adaptation based on how it is, not by comparing it with the original.

Lastly, when an adaptation is really bad, it shows. Even the locals and producers will admit it (though privately of course). I know, because I have friends in showbiz, they're honest people just doing their jobs.

No idea, I haven't watched the original. But you can check my reaction for E01 and E02 here: https://whtwnd.com/youronly.one/3luhwsusjt22g

9.5!
