The current rating is more accurate anyway. This show was never on the level of move to heaven or reply or moving or any other highly rated kdramas. It's a trashy feel good (or I guess bad after those last few minutes) makjang esque drama with a plot straight out of wattpad. On a more positive note, Chae Soo Bin is great and I hope she gets better dramas than this in the future.

One thing I'll say is although the FL has an assertive personality she isn't actually that strong physically. The ML - despite being slightly weakened himself - has saved her multiple times.

His old workplace was so toxic. The way none of his colleagues stood up for him rubbed me the wrong way too. I'm happy he's moved on and I hope we won't see them again.

I actually really like it

neglected kids acting out isn't some new concept...she's a realistic character unlike the other princess who is perfect in everything and has no weaknesses and is loved by everyone

I hope going into this new year you heal and realise child abuse and exploitation is not tough love.

all the adults suck. I want better for these kids.

the dad that said "let's debut quickly and get rid of him" after seeing blood stains. all the adults in this show are at best negligent and at worst terrible people.

for some reason I thought they were already divorced and coparenting after watching episode 1 😭😭

you mean the actress who was in Korea's only ever oscar winning movie?

lol what makes you think that? she's one of the only people both aware of and regretful over whatever happened in the past

what's with hikaru no go catching strays?? but seriously the difference is that show makes it clear that fantasy is an element from the start whereas this is a show presented as more grounded in reality so obviously the audience's reactions and expectations will differ. this is a really silly argument. It's like saying you can't critique madame web if you liked into the spiderverse.

Is this show secretly a historical cdrama? how is she completely fine in the next episode's preview after falling from a cliff 😭😭

Its not surprising that it happened but its not deserved or justifiable imo. He's a much better official than most of the court. If I was a ruler I'd rather have officials who are open about their intentions even if that means them being brash from time to time over people quietly and sneakily scheming behind my back.

You do realise she was coerced into signing a contract that violates her autonomy and fundamental rights. You do realise that his trapping of her and disallowing her to divorce him is legally dubious in itself.

Yeah, I like that he isn't boring, but at the same time, seeing him stressed out and anxious makes me happy. That's how he's made her feel for the entire duration of their marriage, so it's good he gets a taste of his own medicine.

The basis of a healthy relationship is viewing your partner as an equal. He may not be physically abusive or have verbal outbursts but he does not recognise her capabilities nor does he see her as an equal. Even in relationships where the husband goes out to earn and the wife stays home if the man doesn't appreciate the woman's hard work running the household that relationship will fall apart for sure.

I've watched the first 3 episides and so far it's engaging. You might be frustrated with the female lead's passive attitude towards life but I think it will only make her character growth and self exploration later more satisfying.

yes, because nothing says sisterhood like trying to murder the person most precious to her.

It's not that mdl is targeting this show in particular or anything. they do articles like this all the time comparing when 2 kdramas are airing at the same time like https://kisskh.at/article/black-out-rises-to-highest-ratings-bad-memory-eraser-hits-new-low. It's just they only recently started posting about cdramas so this is the first like this for a cdrama. I'll add that both shows are great imo and ratings aren't everything.
