Right?? Same! I thought maybe Yun Su had actually killed off her hubbie and was handed a way out by Mo Eun, but i guess not. π Hoping these actresses get better scripts cuz they were wasted in this show. Couldn't enjoy it because of the holes galoreπ
Honestly from the synopsis I expecte Mo Eun to be a part of some grand mercenary scheme π I also thought she…
Hehe, exactly! She was working for the kid's family for a whole year, but she couldn't come up with a better plan? And then involving An Yun Ju last second? Very poor planning...π
Agreed! Also, if Mo Eun plotted for so long to punish these 3 people, I think she could have managed it without…
Bahahaha all your points are so true and funny! Did the scriptwriters not think of logic while writing this stuff? Everything getting built up just to collapse terribly at the end. And what was the point of even teaming up? Why was Mo Eun even helping out An Yun Ju, a person who did not even carry out the murder that she bargained? And then, for Mo Eun to just get herself killed in a misguided sense of justice? Like I'd rather she be out there living her life. Ugh!
Like, initially I even thought that maybe An Yun Ju is behaving weird because she wants to go to prison for some reason, but no! Like even in grief, I don't expect someone to be so stupid, especially if they were an orphan, and had an idea of how the system works.
So true! Also, for the murder mission, why not wear the mask the whole time? Or at least when she's making her…
i guess...but if she buried the knife, she could have buried her notes or at least burnt them? Maybe she was not expecting the kid to be killed actually, but how can she count on that when she doesn't know if the kid will cooperate with her, and she knows there's a person who wants the kid dead. Following him around, but the parole officer didn't catch up to it? Maybe the kid went to the same school as her child, but ?? Like I can think up of a whole bunch of plot holes, but I can let some go for plot cohesiveness. Not these many i think...like some of An Yun Ju's choices were a lot to take in π Also, she was raised an orphan, shouldn't she have some survival skills, considering she would be exposed to government agencies and all, and how these officials function? Yes, true about the call history. Makes no sense whatsoever that the police didn't look that up. Also, I think anyone would have at least a doubt that the person relaying a letter for them can also read it, unless it's sealed. I feel like Mo Eun's words were pretty ambiguous because of this, and she was appropriately non-trusting of (most) everyone.
So true! Also, for the murder mission, why not wear the mask the whole time? Or at least when she's making her…
Haha so true! But like, she had some few days to plot it out...and the funniest is her noting it in her diary...'maybe he deserves to be murdered.' Like, girl please π€£ did she not learn her lesson when the prosecutor used her private videos to justify a motive for murdering her husband? This show had more plot holes than swiss cheese π Was expecting more considering the calibre of the actors π
I have mixed opinions on this show. The show starts out with a dark deal being made between the 2 leads, showing…
Agreed! Also, if Mo Eun plotted for so long to punish these 3 people, I think she could have managed it without getting An Yun Su involved. There was no need to make the revenge saga so needlessly complicated. She could have even hired a hitman to make it cleaner, because how the heck can you trust what An Yun Su does when she gets out of prison?? She had no way of reaching out to her outside of prison also, but LUCKILY she saves a girl who will help her out by kidnapping someone, really? Just after she got out of prison? LOL I thought that maybe An Yun Su had some importance to Mo Eun's revenge plan, but it was just ...let me use her to kill the remaining guy, who was the fricking main perpetrator! Talk about leaving a job incomplete. It felt very making up as she went along, rather than some well thought-out masterplan. And don't even get me started on An Yun Ju's husband's murderers.
I think AYS would have avoided a lot of trouble if she had just cut her hair off at some point π like gurl,…
So true! Also, for the murder mission, why not wear the mask the whole time? Or at least when she's making her escape! She was not meant to be a career criminal lol. Was expecting some smarter screenplay from this.
TMAI! How does one mess up playing a cold, stiff character?! Her dialogue delivery leaves SO MUCH to be desired.
Omg so true! It was ok initially, but she is so not able to keep up with the layered character. The story seems interesting so I'm hooked, but let's see how the makers take it forward. Nice to see you here btw π
The sfl's character is very strong and different and the makers thought of casting an actress who was trolled…
Agree! In the beginning her motivations were ambiguous, so it worked, but when she was negotiating with her father, it looked like she was just reciting lines. Someone with a bit more refined acting would have elevated the scene, but oh well.
I love TPOB to bits, but the fight choreography in that drama was a huge letdown. In this drama, the fight choreography…
Oh, yeah that would be the context, so I guess I'm happy enough that it's a HE. Honestly, I feel like the writer has left enough clues and easter eggs for people to choose the version of ending they prefer. For example, I like the interpretation that it was NF all along in the script world, and some scenes that I interpret as evidence for my theory would be the when SYM and NH are talking about NF, and she denies liking him and there's lightning and thunder. Pretty funny, tbh! And so true about wanting for more. I loved the found family aspects, and I would have loved to have seen a scene where NH and SYM find all the others from the script world on the actual drama sets. And, even though everyone may not remember the time in the script world, they might show some uncanny familiarity with each other, based on their relationships developed in the script world. (Just a headcanon π₯Έπ)

Just finished it and agree with pretty much everything! Although I wish they had spent a little more time in the modern world. I kinda knew they wouldn't do that though. Honestly, I would have loved to see what hijinks NH and SXY could get upto in the modern world π I'm not sure how I feel about both the modern world and script world being fictional, still trying to get to terms with it. I liked how they ended up solving the issues with script. It made sense in a way that if the everyone in the script world starts deviating off script, there's not much effect of the rules of the script. I felt it was an simple but satisfying solution. I also loved how almost every character had some sort of progression at the end, except my boy CGH. His dramatic descent into madness provided us the main antagonist, and that sort of further implies that this is a script within a script. This was a really, really enjoyable show and I'm so satisfied with the happy ending π
Omg literally did the same thing after watching the latest episode! That look NF gave SXY definitely (hopefully)…
Hehe wow love how you've been analyzing it all! Yup, I loved how the SML was annoyed, and interestingly, he looked like an agreeable person in the meeting, compared to his dramatic ass character in the script world. Okay, the childhood connection theory is also a good one because it doesn't feel as absurd as the rest of the dramas where I've seen it. It's more palatable since the whole drama is based on the absurd π€ And yess, the fact that no other female lead was ready to act in the drama...and considering our FL is such a lazy, Z-list actor (i can only aspire to be as lazy lol), it doesn't make sense how she got her hands on the role! Ooh so you're saying our guy liked her, and the script could be a way for him to interact with her...that's a good one too! I'll make sure to note all the ones you've guessed right π
I think NH is NF! Only he's not aware of it yet. I rewatched the meeting of the cast and crew in the first episode…
Omg literally did the same thing after watching the latest episode! That look NF gave SXY definitely (hopefully) means something π€ It would be neat if it were a loop thing, like NH coming to the modern world right when the events of the first episode were taking place...but let's see what they've cooked for us. The whole NF not speaking during the meeting was also very suspicious lol, I think initially it was maybe meant to be played for laughs, like a commentary on how narcissistic sometimes actors can get or even how dependent they might be on their managers etc, but if it also turns out that it's because NH wants to play it cool and parse the situation...quite a twist! Can't wait for tomorrow's drop π
I respect your pov but I have a completely different perspective, I think it's been at least 10 episodes since…
Hey so just a few things Just because he's had a traumatic past or a hard childhood does not mean that the FL needs to have the same experiences for her to be deserving of this man. Also, those are his challenges to bear, and how he attaches himself to people as a result of his upbringing does not mean the FL has to get attached to him at the same rate as he did. You can't force someone to feel something, nor at what rate they develop feelings. She HAS been developing feelings, and she HAS been making efforts for the person she likes, who was LSL. She doesn't know that he's NH, so obviously she's going to be wary around NH. This was needed so that she can develop her opinion about NH free from the prejudices that she carries against him. But, of course it's natural to feel betrayed when you find out someone's been hiding their entire identity. (identity theft is no joke lol!) But also, I agree that the scriptwriters have dragged out the misunderstandings. Maybe they could have accomplished this arc earlier so that we can have more episode of them working together. But that's on the writers, not the character π Anyhow, it was great getting to know your opinion! π
I respect your pov but I have a completely different perspective, I think it's been at least 10 episodes since…
She never wanted to be involved with him, for her own sake as well as her family. So I don't understand how she's suddenly supposed to throw all of her motivations away for a man who has made himself out to be a villain for whatever sake. And again, people can say a billion things, but I would still look at their actions to see whether they mean it or not. He has not been able to give her a complete and honest explanation behind his motivations, even as he's bound by his position, but that's not her fault.
And what kind of love he wants and how he wants to prove that to him is upto him, really. He got flogged for her father because he wants to marry her, but she never wanted that! Why should she feel sorry for him?? She's said it a million times to him right? And she's a modern girl, so forgive her for expecting her wishes to be taken to account. The other time he got flogged, was it not his fault at all??? He hid his uncle's crimes...I'm not sure how the consequences of something he did are her fault???
Him begging and pleading after he lied to her? Sure, she's mean and over the top but I wouldn't like being lied to and made a fool of either, especially as I believe like I'm finally about to escape my fate of falling in love with a person who will betray me and kill my family!!
I respect your pov but I have a completely different perspective, I think it's been at least 10 episodes since…
He wants the love, but was never honest about it. No one is saying he doesn't deserve it, but he's been lying and scheming the same as everyone. He has terrible rumors going on about him, and he hasn't corrected them, even if he needs the benefits that these rumors provide him politically and so forth. So he has to be prepared to be judged and he should know that he has his work cut out for him if he wants people on his side. Till the last few episodes, he has only been talking at YM, rather than being honest. Anyone can say words that benefit them, but YM has the weight of all the rumors and his actions (like him trying to kill her) to wade through. She doesn't have our perspective about his motivations, because he's not in a position to be completely honest with her. Sure, she's stubborn, but she sees that most of the script scenes are coming true. Then she gets the backstory behind the sister's betrayal, and that is what truly makes her pause in her assumptions. Maybe it took a few more episode than required, but that's not a fault of her character per se, is it?
Hoping these actresses get better scripts cuz they were wasted in this show. Couldn't enjoy it because of the holes galoreπ
