I really feel bad for the daughter.
Maybe the best case scenario for her would be if she never realizes that it's her father, he swaps back, and the other guy falls in love with her. I can't imagine finding out you had a crush on your father. That would be terrible.

I would say if we are doing this, there should be three categories, not two. One for historically accurate dramas that are created for educational purposes as well as entertainment, one for dramas that are based on historical figures or events but not very accurate which we usually enjoy and call historical-fiction but Koreans hate, and the purely fictional history with made-up historical events and figures. Historical, Historical-fiction, and Fictional-history

I don't know why, but I read the title as 'Notes from the Death Row' and I thought it was about Choi Min Shik writing letters from prison while on death row, and I got so excited because I love letter dramas/movies. Netflix if you are listening, please make this movie.

Everything is getting revealed and I'm so excited. I bet Bulgae is getting his memory back in the next episode, and the wife is finally finding out. YAY! I can't wait!

It's my first time appreciating the music of a drama, and I'm not talking about songs, because there are many dramas with good (vocal) OSTs. I'm talking about the music that accompanies each fight or comedic scene which are not necessarily composed specifically for the drama, like the music in the snow falling scene. I really loved those.

It was hilarious, but I was waiting for someone to lie down and make a 'snow angel'. I thought it was a missed opportunity.

Episode 11 didn't make sense at all, and episode 12 was just boring at times, but both were not completely unwatchable. It is usual for dramas to get boring or ridiculous at the end. I liked the reveal though. I just wished it didn't take them almost the whole episode to get there. They could've cut off some of all that whining.

Danshim is in a coma in both timelines in the second swap. When Seori went into a coma in modern day, she temporarily swapped back with Danshim who was in a coma attended to by the shaman in Joseon, and Danshim was temporarily in a coma in modern day. So, when Seori was navigating the modern day, Danshim was in a coma (with opened eyes) in Joseon.

The writer doesn't seem to have looked at the drama as a whole. She is just writing small bits and trying to connect them together. The Spidey danger senses were used by the writer as an excuse to connect the male lead and the female lead, then she forgot about them, because at that time when she wrote the first episode, there wasn't anything connecting the two. Why would the female lead call the male lead? She didn't want her to seem like a gold digger, so she created an offer for an "exchange" of some sorts. The "good" female lead wouldn't just barge in and ask for money without offering something in return. Then after awhile, there was no need for this plot point, and she needed the female lead to get into trouble in order for the male lead to save her, so now, the female lead seems like a liar who made up the danger senses to get into the rich guy's circle. The writer kept creating problems out of nowhere and the male lead suddenly was the one who got the "Spidey danger senses". Like in episode 11 when the female lead was locked in for no reason at all (she didn't even miss the shooting for some reason and nobody asked about her, even her manager who obviously would've tried to look for her during the shooting, not just ask about her at the end of it, and surprisingly no one needed that room). The male lead suddenly runs to save her without a clue on how he knew she was in danger. What he heard was in no way an indication that she would be in danger.

That actually makes it much better. I didn't know it was her first drama. I think she's got a lot of learning to do, but it is not bad for a first project.

Yeah, they have a dysfunctional relationship. This couple won't last if it was in real life.

Episode 11 didn't make any sense. I was letting it slide for the entertainment, but now I think the screenwriter thinks we are stupid.

Most people don't usually rate dramas until they finish airing, and there is no young heartthrob, that alone can take away about 2 stars, so you should account for it. The drama is quite entertaining, so give it 4 episodes. If you don't like it by then, then it might not be your cup of tea.

One way to make people forget that you've groomed a teenager: Cast a shadow on the whole thing using one thing that could've been manipulated even though there are many other things that were already proven to be true because you had already admitted them. Nice work, PR team.

That's the thing, though. It's part of reality, and that's why it's hard to watch. It's not like something that isn't too close to home.

Very tough to watch. I had to disassociate and psych myself into believing that it's a dystopian drama that could never happen in real life in order to finish the first episode. Only a psychopath would find this easy to watch.

I watched this awhile ago for Yoon Eun Hye. To be honest, the male lead and the weak plot ruined it for me. I couldn't imagine a world where Chun Jung Myung would be popular with women. Yoon Eun Hye was great as usual and Han Go Eun was a hidden gem. P.O also was unexpectedly great.

I don't know why they chose to show the same reaction multiple times for different people. I think I would've chosen to show different reactions for the same food based on the character's personality if I was the director. It's basically the same reaction with a different actor doing it. Why would anybody want to see it multiple times?

If anyone is wondering why they were chasing a thief in the 4th episode. It is because Koreans call food that goes very well with rice so much so that you keep eating it a bapdoduk which translates to a rice thief.

I watched the second episode at 1.5x and it felt like the regular speed, especially the refreshed reactions everyone had when they were trying the soup. I wonder how long it lasted if it was that long at 1.5x speed. LOL
It is getting better now. I don't usually drop dramas without trying to speed them up for a few episodes. I like the concept, but him cooking only one meal per episode is kind of disappointing.
