not really

The styling for the actresses is quite pretty.

This is a spoiler.

The kid’s voice dubber is the worst. Adorable kid, but the dubbing is so cringe 😬.

Someone was right—Main thing FL says is “A’Gou! A’Gou!” fretfully nearly every sentence. I love Xing Fei, but I’m not enjoying her acting here. Then again, maybe her nervous energy is just who the character is at this point and Xing Fei is doing exactly what she’s supposed be doing. The drama is entertaining though and I can’t wait to find out who she (Bai Cai) really is. Good visuals and good flow overall. Allen Ren is consistent.

Who is KTO? Isn’t it Han Tae Oh, HTO?

It’s ok. Reminiscent of many other dramas in the mini genre (although these are ~30 minutes ea). FL was lost at sea and she comes back with a new identity. ML believes she’s the same person. The plot is building at a snail’s pace though. The chemistry and visuals are pretty good, but the men are too effeminate for my tastes. It’s distracting . The wardrobe stylist for the men has an odd style. Overall , it’s nice to watch when waiting for your main dramas to drop.

At certain angles, ML resembles Cha Eun Woo.

well said

I have yet to see her mother show her love. The mother only seems to care about the son and only ever scolds Hae In.

The kind way Hae In took time to meet with her husband’s siblings, the way she punished her brother for disrespecting her husband, the way she married a man far behind her wealth and social status all speak volumes about her character. She’s not a bad person at her core.

Hae In seems strong (and she is), but she’s also actually very insecure as well. She lacks confidence and wasn’t loved by her mother. Her insecurity makes her cold and aloof and always ready to fight. It seems her coldness made Hyun Woo insecure which in turn made him cold and distant with her. Maybe he felt useless to her previously. But now, with her illness and his jealousy of the 2ML, he’s starting to see clear enemies around her. Because of that he seems better able to assert himself in the husband/protector role, eg, the way he intercepted when the mom was giving FL a hard time about the business, killing the boar, etc.

I noticed the bad eyeliner too. The wing is too thick.

I never said this was something beautiful.

The second ML is Chinese, but the same ethnicity as Dilraba, which explains the Middle Eastern foreign look.

true

She seeks him out.

I’m not a Hye Won hater like most here, but I clearly see her flaws. One of which, the way she insists people notice her if she feels slighted. So arrogant. She did that with Tae Oh in college and still doing it 10 years later with the Chairman at dinner. She’s an invited guest, yet mouths off like that. No finesse at all. I like a girl who sticks up for herself, but chose the right time and place, kiddo. Pick your battles. Chairman handled her though.

yep

This fascination with Huiju (Heejoo) bewilders me.
