Why no one's talking about Xie yong'erπ₯² she is so pretty π and she's doing her part so well π
Love her too! And her make up is on point all the time π€, because she's supposed to be the protagonist of the novel lol. Glad she's joined forces with our leads, and become a member of the hotpot gang π
I know some people think the SML is strongly written, but I completely disagree. To me, he comes across as very…
Really great points! I completely agree, and it's such a waste of a good actor. With just a little more thought to his arc, and we could still have something satisfying. But right now, as it stands, SML really has no sense of self besides his struggle with his identity. Even so, a person has some ideas that he stands for, but he never explicitly displays anything. My man is so bad at his job that he still doesn't even realize that our FL is Gil Dong, despite investigating this for his dad, and it had to spelled out by the ML. They are trying to imply that these episodes that this might be his villain arc, but even that is so bland!
I was expecting a cute adaptation of Life As We Know It movie but to me this kdrama is already so much more to…
I like how the ML made that effort too. It shows that despite his words, he's still empathetic to the FL, and not just a man who's traumatized, so he is going to in turn make things difficult for everyone. He may hate photography now, but when faced with the realities of life, he does what needs to be done. I hope his older bro had a solid reason for abandoning him the way he did. Also, he's miles better than the ML in Life As We Know It. All I remember from the movie is that his character really gave me the ick.
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that SFL is a written character with her set goals and prejudices. Even…
Exactly! Duan is a really shrewd character, and he is obsessed with defeating our ML, so he immediately notices when the 3 transmigrators are behaving weirdly and deduces they are different beings. But SFL is confined by the constraints on her character, and she will only start gaining insight once Duan's actions affect her, which I think is fair enough.
Just finished episode 16.Half of me wants to give Yong Er a hug and the other half just wants to shake some sense…
I know right? She is still tied up to her character as a transmigrator, so she needs Wanyin's help to realize how Duan has moved further on and evolved from his role in the novel.
In the first episode why did ML stopped the guards when they dragged the FL away in their first meet? It made…
It's explained later in the novel. Basically he was waiting for the transmigrator to appear in the novel, so he had asked his guards to report any concubines behaving strangely. He was reported by them that Yu Wanyin was behaving abnormally, so he pretended to not know what would happen if he sends her away without bedding her essentially. This way he could pretend he had just transmigrated like her, and was unaware of the customs etc, and so they could team up.
he will get his redemption arc soon, there are 4 eps left. saving his father was questionable, like why would…
The pace the show is going at I don't have much hope π Don't get me wrong, I like the pacing overall, but this is almost the final arc, and any sort of redemption from SML is going to feel really unearned because we didn't see him struggle with or regret any of his actions. He's still looking down on slaves while saving his father. I don't mind him saving his father, but that line was unnecessary. Maybe this is his villain evolution, which at least will be more interesting π
SFL is one of the best written characters in saeguk dramas i love how she doesn't get jealous knowing that the…
I agree, love seeing her on screen. I was initially shipping her with the SML, because they had such opposites attract energy, but they have really dropped the ball on his character development.
I'm really disappointed with the SML's arc. What was the point of getting such a talented actor and wasting him to work solely as a minion for his family. Giving him all this emotional struggle and interaction with our leads, but he does nothing to resolve it. They will give him the last few episodes to maybe have an original thought in his head, but it will be too little too late.
Haha, I agree with you, except maybe for the acting. JDY's role was so stupid, I feel maybe that might explain…
Haha! Agree with everything you've written! Leaving her daughter at home to chase after that masked intruder? What if there's another one who might kidnap/hurt her daughter? She had many people hate her because of the case publicity...so that was a choice. Such a waste, of my time and their talents π
Agreed! Also, if Mo Eun plotted for so long to punish these 3 people, I think she could have managed it without…
Yes! What was the point of that? They didn't go through anything so substantial together, as a team, for that to have so much meaning. No sense of Mo Eun sacrificing herself for Yun Su either π€·ββοΈ
Haha, I agree with you, except maybe for the acting. JDY's role was so stupid, I feel maybe that might explain it, I was definitely irritated by her character and all her inexplicable actions. It was like she had no clue how to function like a normal human being lol If one of the leads is going to be dumb at least make the other smart. Mo Eun's plan was so random and last minute, it made no sense. She had a whole year working with that evil family, and that was all she could come up with? She had no back up plan at all? And the husband's murderers were just straight up clowns. The wife trying to be a badass bitch, like no ma'am, you're just a clown! π€£π€£ Yeah, this was a waste of time for me, despite the acting π
So true! Also, for the murder mission, why not wear the mask the whole time? Or at least when she's making her…
Yes, true, maybe it wasn't a minute to minute thing. Also, maybe they have meetings to discuss where they were and what they were doing, and I thought it was risky of Yun Su to annoy her parole officer in their meeting that way, but she did come back with the tteokbokki. π But, I assume they have some limitations on their allowed areas, and so coincidentally for her she was in the safe zone to follow and map out the kid's movements. π€·ββοΈ This is what I guess is writing yourself into a tight corner and requires some innovation from the scriptwriter π Right, I mean I expected some level of shrewdness from her, but it felt like she was naive as a lamb the entire time. In that sense, her husband's murderer should have been someone close to her, because lady had blinders on, would make more sense lol. I only finished the show because of the top tier acting, the only saving grace here...but in the end even that couldn't elevate this for me. Hoping they get better scripts π

Really enjoying the rest of it though π
