I think the ONLY reason why no one questioned the blood type thing is because everyone is under duress because…
As long as they don't pull a woman in a veil and wait until the absolute last second to reveal it I'm good lol
I actually want to see Jin Taeseok suffer psychologically over this reveal but instead of using it as an excuse to be a loving father or feel guilty, he uses it as motivation to kill her because how it ruins the narrative that he had built up lol
It would be cool if Jeongwon got direct access to Kunhyang's slush fund and ledger as the director of the art museum. It would be a nice subversion to the trope where the FL and ML spend the last 10-20 episodes looking for a ledger
I'm way more into Nansook and Hyera's scheme to acquire Kunhyang (for their kids, ironically enough) than whatever Jeongwon and Haneul's approach is, but that's mostly because Nansook is HER. Just act cute and let the adults do what they need to do lol
I've been procrastinating on this because I'm using this drama to test my Korean listening skills so I've been studying up! (literally the sole reason I want to become fluent is to watch old dailies lmao after I finish this I'm going to watch Two Wives, the 3rd of SBS's wife trio)
The MIL is wild "your baby will die unless you divorce my son" I was wondering why Yoohee would just give up like that but that'll definitely do it. But the MIL is crazy in her own right for putting her grandchild's life on the line for the cardinal sin of ... being born to an orphan? GIRL.
We need a daily drama Renaissance with a 2020s Wife trio... come on sbs, revive the daily!!!
First of all this is definitely going on my "daily dramas I would watch again" list. Now is it perfect?…
Oh if you like series with insane characters you'll love game of witches lol the person who wrote this drama is also writing a currently airing daily called a Graceful Liar which is also good, and I recommend that one as well!
I haven't finished s2 yet but I do like how Lee Joon's character came back!
First of all this is definitely going on my "daily dramas I would watch again" list. Now is it perfect?…
Yes! I finished S1 in record time because the villains were on a whole other level.... Like Dami is possibly the biggest victim I've ever seen in a kdrama ðŸ˜
If Jeongwon dies that would completely subvert the makjang drama playbook which would be ... interesting. Hyera…
You know what's crazy? I was actually thinking about ~expanding my horizons ~ and watching my first saeguk. You just gave me the perfect recommendation lol
And yes lol one of my favorite parts about elegant Empire was when they showed how locked in Jukyung was when she was making the transformation into Heejae like she was so dedicated lol
About Park Jinhee's character:"Actress Park Jin-hee, who has enhanced the play's immersion with her charismatic…
Definitely agree! Runa-as-Ruby was way more interesting than Ruby-as-Runa. I think I made it to about episode 40ish? Gotta rewatch since it's been at least 10 years since I watched.
I'm definitely going to do a deep dive on namuwiki and create a master list of twin switch dramas! That's a good idea!
He’s old probably doesn’t know what a.i is 😂 …. He’s rich I’m sure he has his own personal lawyer…
I found it hilarious that he REALLY didn't appreciate Sehoon getting him legal counsel lol nevermind that was probably the most constructive thing SH has done all episode 😂 guess it's time to the writer to start foreshadowing the Big Reveal....
Jeongwon truthers WE WON. That board meeting was actually pretty entertaining lol I'm actually surprised that Taeseok's didn't claim Haneul's recording was AI generated. But yes, I definitely rewinded the episode and watched Taeseok get arrested twice 🤣
Anyway I feel like the subsequent conversation between Nansook and Haneul is foreshadowing for a good old fashioned ledger hunt! Can't have a daily without that lol
Okay and Taeseok getting mad that Sehoon got him a lawyer is lmaooo like that IS standard procedure. But Taeseok is so grandiose he would 1000% be one of those people who try to represent himself in court and fail miserably (please let this be a scene in the drama eventually lmaooo)
About Park Jinhee's character:"Actress Park Jin-hee, who has enhanced the play's immersion with her charismatic…
I think you've already seen the promise but I'll always recommend that lol
There's Ruby Ring which is a twin switch where the two switch faces. The bad twin is kind of the lead since the good twin spends most of the drama KO'd iirc. Lee Soyeon did a great job in this role
Mina is an old one from 2001, written by Seo Hyunjoo (who's current project is the First Man) - one twin takes over the other twin's life after she gets injured in an accident
And then there's I Have a Lover, not a daily but still a makjang. I'm honestly surprised that there aren't more lol
About Park Jinhee's character:"Actress Park Jin-hee, who has enhanced the play's immersion with her charismatic…
I need to actually watch gracious revenge (and red shoes for that matter) because I like Choi Myeongil and I've always found the premise interesting. I generally like older FLs because of their maturity ... (the glaring exception being Lucia from TWWSTS who is pretty much a case study on how NOT to write a FL 😂)
So we have a set of twins, the nice one gets killed, the ruthless one gets revenge ... and she partners with the ruthless 2FL, who ALSO abandoned her identity. The two male leads are half brothers who will presumably fight for ownership (and they both seem to like Jinju? lol), then there's Yuna who has beef with Jinju. Not to mention the usual chaebol shenanigans...
This is a very ambitious plotline for a daily and I hope the screenwriter pulls it off. It's like both MBC and KBS heard my prayers for more dailies featuring twin switches so I can't complain lol
