she's so iconic

yes! I hate the miscommunication trope, and it's really refreshing that this drama doesn't resort to it (as is the case for most makjangs)

less plastic surgery and an unhealthy lifestyle? (if he smokes and drinks a lot, that can age a person prematurely)

It's already out. Episode 9 is coming next saturday

I actually enjoy the reduced episode dramas as they tend to have better pacing and less filler scenes!

omgggg I'm so happy all episodes are going to be released at the same time. I miss a good binge. Watching airing dramas 1ep/week is not for the weak

I think it's bc of the bad AI english subs

yesss. I immediately thought of The Glory

yes, agree. but I'm guessing ep. 9-12 will pick up the pace again as there is a lot to wrap up still. I'm curious how they will tackle the whole time travelling thing with so little drama time left

The scene of her and the grandma was so touching :') our girl is healing

there is romance, but it's def more of a subplot as fl's revenge is the main theme. All the romantic scenes we get are fire though (and the revenge ones are really satisfying). Totally worth the watch

the first 6 episodes were so addicting, and the pace was perfection! ep 7 and 8 were still good but slightly less thrilling

right? the first episodes were soo fire that it shocked at the time at how the MDL rating was so low. But as I kept watching I understood why. It's a shame since the drama had the potential to be a banger, had they fixed pacing, fillers and tweaked the plot here and there

I find that kdramas under 16 episodes tend to be superior-- better pacing, less filling and just overall more gripping. Wish they changed the overall default 16-episode format to like 12, unless the plot really justifies 16 hours; that would avoid so much dragging across kdramas

Nop. Just bromance

I feel like that twist would be okay (and actually interesting entertainment-wise, as you said) if they didn't normalize it afterwards. They portrayed it as merely a hopeless romantic act, and just a misunderstanding/little obstacle they should move past as a married couple... when it was in fact completely deranged and psycho-like. (which again, would be a completely plausable and interesting twist had they not glossed over and romanticized it).

You do have a point. They never show us he himself reading the contract, we just assumed what he found was the marriage contract. He may have instead found other documents.

Also, he seemed more apologetic towards the fl after reading the docs as you said-- and so his reaction would make sense if he realised the fl found out her family was lying about her being adopted the whole time

I think it's quite refreshing that the in-laws are actually supportive and caring towards the FL. They all seem to have common sense (other than disabled brother ofc), which is rare in this kdrama genre.

it was so satisfying. this is how I wish all kdrama FLs were

but then how would the sister have gotten the contract?
