Lol, they are tired, especially AJH, as his pictures on set prove. And I can't blame him nor the rest of the cast. This incoherent nonsense must be even more exhausting when you are in the middle of it all. So basically everyone wants it to be over, us, the korean viewers who prefer to talk about Hyo Shim instead, and the actors too. Really no surprise with that lack of any substance or joy to be found in the drama.

Honestly what will change with that reveal tho? The bastard is still a family member thru adoption and he still wants Haneul and will never give up. Nothing is achieved with it other than wiping away this asshole's smugness. But things are literally the same when TK/YD stick around and he remains on the fam register due to these "shocking news" It is a complete dead end, story-wise and has been ever since this dumbass writer decided to make him related to strawberry by blood or not.

ii think i will give it 2-3,0 stars. One for the first half that brought me joy, one for TK/AJH and the last is conditional on the ending we get to see. Not more than three tho.

Heh yes, but there were so many stories left to tell that all fell sideways for repetitive round and round incoherent nonsense, tbh. This hack is just phoning it in now to get his KBS paycheck.

hahaha, just joking tho, or rather what my interwebs friends from the US said due to many infrastructural things being better xD Happy you found a good home there tho <3

i am not sure how this is possible but having watched the raw, there is even less content than yesterday. Literally NOTHING happens except characters crying, wallowing in wangsty miserable bullshit and all joy is dead.

Dishonorable mentions:

-Rat bastard did not know he was adopted HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Ofc he continues to deceive, lie as if he were and threatens others left and right bc it is as natural to this rotten narcissistic dirtbag, like water is wet. Now he even threatens his step sister to keep quiet on this OR ELSE. She knows now of his connection with Haneul, talks with YD about it.
-Delulu dingo has a come to jesus moment and is all the sudden has a consciousness to stop her wrongdoings. Plans to fuck off to the US or something. I can't even begin to care how pisspoor this is handled
-TK/YD plan to emigrate to Canada bc it is the better version of the US anyway hahaha. but of course in truth TK does not want to leave his fam in any way, whether by distance or legally. Hence tears, lot of tears. And tearful hugs. No wonder AJH looks tired af or is pictured napping on any of his recent instagram pics, because i would be exhausted af from this nonsense too if i were him.
-No one has learned yet that a narcissist is not to be reasoned with due to the complete lack of empathy and remorse, but gran does it anyway so does his step sis both trying to make him let go of Haneul. But lemme refer to DO NOT REASON WITH NARCISSISTS once more! It is as pointless as selling refrigerators in Antarctica
-TK/Mom Inok quality time was cute i guess.
- More crying. More misery. The writer hates joy and all things that are good and make sense.
-I feel nauseous from all the repetitive circles we are spinning here since 10-15 eps, but since the leads marriage reg at its latest. NOTHING IS REMOTELY RESOLVED
-Drunk Taekyung is a hugger and kisser, and that short scene of him going home and hugging everyone and waking up embarrassed the next morning, is the only highlight of yet another super pointless episode.
-TK's parents want to honor his request. CANADA HERE WE GOOOOOO. Except we don't bc next week this falls sideways with the shocking revelation of rat bastard not being bloodkin. And thus TK will stay on the fam reg and all the tears spent were for nothing. I can't contain my excitement yeah wow, and neither my annoyance that it took FOUR FUCKING EPS to get there. Are you shitting me?
That "shocking revelation" will literally solve nothing tho. We are back where we started five episodes ago, just with one less bloodkin member i guess. NOTHING HAS CHANGED OUTSIDE OF THAT. Rat bastard still wants Haneul for his prized doll collection and won't give up, neither will the leads. So we are going to drag out this inane custody clown show until the very last ten minutes of eps. 50, i bet.
- END MY SUFFERING. PLEASE.

could not be bothered to check yet. Will let you know lol

Edit: Nope no raw episode up yet. More time for actual entertaining kdramas then yay

It is both fascinating and painful for me to see such an utter and complete disintegration of a once compelling, engaging story, writing-wise. Never have i experienced that in such an all-encompassing way and form where everything LITERALLY EVERYTHING falls apart and makes no sense due to sheer incompetency and/or no fucks given. This has to be an achievement somewhere i am sure.

It is indeed a car crash i should not watch but can't stop to look at either 😂

Welcome to Korean where words have a lot of different meanings depending on the context haha well here it means dissolving in context of the adoption 😉

It is about Jangho, cruella's father, not the resident discount narcissus 😉

I just read the live tweets about the episode thus far but I'm watching the raw on kisskh and subs on either kdrama hood or viki

It is redundant as the whole last repetitive 10-15 eps to say that THIS ALL COULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED IN A SINGLE EPISODE but I'm doing it anyway. In the spirit of circular reduncy this show has grown so fond of yknow 🙃🙄🙃

Nothing has happened at all in this episode once more. They are just phoning it in now. Expect a very rushed wrap up with maybe a minute of epilogue/happy ending, at best.

Lol same, for sure. And I bet so will the domestic public so writer is bound to go on a long hiatus now anyway 😁🙈

I think atp the vast majority of people want that TK bio dad twist bc I see no other way for them otherwise to have their peace of mind from that rat bastard ever, especially with just 5 eps to go now. He will never allow an adoption either, which the fraud storyline would have solved long ago with making him lose any parental rights to be had. But nope they are still dragging this decomposing corpse thru the streets and stinking up every place because... Hell I don't even know why.

All the foreshadowing is there for another DNA test regarding paternity to fail in the same way but I have like minus 9999999% trust in the writer to follow through with any resemblance of coherence by now. I just dunno how they are planning to get out of the corpse filled stinky corner they have themselves written in for ages now???

Well not anymore she wanted to see everything crash and burn later on.

No 😈

I feel this is the one point where the gong's outside of joseon granny have collectively grown. Looking past blood ties and it's importance for family. Guess accepting TK and YD together was a catalyst for this. But then again this shitty writer is inconsistent as hell and twists and turns characters like he needs them to be at any given moment 🙄

Young lady and a gentleman. A rather infamous weekender 🙈

Oh btw, here my full eps twitter thread bc i was bored and could not sleep lol:
