Follow up to "A Graceful Liar". I'm going to copy and paste some infos (with the help of Google translate)Interestingly…
About Park Jinhee's character: "Actress Park Jin-hee, who has enhanced the play's immersion with her charismatic acting skills in āTaejong Lee Bang-wonā, āLove Scene Number #ā, and āReturnā, is trying out for a double role in this drama, playing twin sisters Kim Myung-hee and Kim Dan-hee. The older sister, Kim Myung-hee, is a nurse with a kind personality who dreams of an ordinary family, but faces an unexpected truth and meets a tragic fate. After learning the truth of her sister's death, her younger sister Danhee decides to abandon her life and live under her sister's name, and takes detailed revenge to take over Adele's group."
About Nam Sangji's character: "Nam Sang-ji portrays a character who, after losing her family in an unexpected accident, abandons all of her name and identity to seek revenge, and lives as Chloe Lee, a consultant for a world-class brand. Her normal routine falls apart in an instant, and she enters Adele's group with a new identity, meticulously preparing for revenge, but her plans begin to falter when she encounters an unexpected ambush." (I'm looking forward to seeing her here because she usually plays the heroines in KBS1 dailies.)
About the other characters: "Choi Jae-sung plays the role of Park Tae-ho, the chairman of the Adele Group, who does whatever it takes to achieve his goal. Tae-ho is a powerful person who is good at protecting and using secrets, forms a sharp confrontation with Park Jin-hee, and plays an active role as the central axis of the play."
"Kim Hee-jung plays Oh Jeong-ran, Park Tae-ho's wife and Adele Gallery director. Jeong-ran, who has a desire to take over the Adele group through her son Park Hyun-joon (played by Kang Da-bin), falls into a huge spiral of fate due to her unstoppable greed. "
"Park Min-jun, head of Adele Group 1, is played by Kim Kyung-bo. Kim Dan-hee's nephew, Park Min-jun, is called the āhalf-heirā even though he is the eldest son. During college, he meets Baek Jin-joo (played by Nam Sang-ji) and dreams of freedom for the first time, but is caught up in a mysterious incident and confronted with a hidden truth."
"Kang Da-bin plays Park Hyun-jun, the second head of Adele Group and Park Min-jun's half-brother. Park Hyun-jun, who has a free and unstoppable personality, is torn between his greed for Baek Jin-ju and his loyalty to Park Min-jun and makes a different choice."
"Cheon Hee-joo plays Jin-joo's friend Choi Yuna, the team leader of the Adele Group's new business task force. Choi Yu-na, with her feelings of inferiority and jealousy maximized, is responsible for the tension of the play as a person who wants to take everything away from Baek Jin-ju."

Interestingly enough, the director mostly directs KBS1 dailies but I guess he's decided to take on the challenge of directing a KBS2 daily. Per the articles, this drama is written by Kim Seojung, and this seems to be her first drama because I can't find any information about her lol
Haven't done one of these in a minute...Jin Tae-Seok is truly the final boss of this daily. Hye-Ra found out that…
I think the ONLY reason why no one questioned the blood type thing is because everyone is under duress because of Jeongwon. But I feel like as soon as she recovers that'll be reversed.
I also think Hyera won't say anything to protect Jeongwon, because Taeseok is so twisted he may end up still trying to kill Jeongwon anyway, blood relation be damned lol. I just hope they don't pull a Woman in a Veil and revisit this 2 episodes before the last LOL
I feel like Sehoon has become pathetic ever since Youngchae and Jeongwon switched places. He had one job with that video and that was to expose it publically or use it as leverage to bring the board members on his side. I also think Youngchae isn't backing Sehoon out of love either but rather that's the easiest way for her to get rid of Jin Taeseok.
Now that you bring up Sehoon's mom, I really do think that she had an affair with the secretary and that's why Taeseok killed her, as punishment. He is totally the type to do that....
Nansuk and her people are great comedic relief but I love them because they don't take me out the story too much lol
Kang-Jae was wildin out 24/7, it was almost hilarious to watch š chaos incarnate!I loved Eun-Jae's training…
stop everything, the follow up for a graceful liar has been announced already? This actually sounds like it will be very good:
"Actress Park Jin-hee, who has enhanced the play's immersion with her charismatic acting skills in āTaejong Lee Bang-wonā, āLove Scene Number #ā, and āReturnā, is trying out for a double role in this drama, playing twin sisters Kim Myung-hee and Kim Dan-hee.

The normal routine falls apart in an instant, and he enters Adele's group with a new identity, meticulously preparing for revenge, but his plans begin to falter when he encounters an unexpected ambush."
Considering how I only see Nam Sangji in the KBS1 type of dailies it'll be interesting to see her in a revenge role...
This drama has big shoes to fill but as for Cruel Temptation I'm still on the stage where Haneul just got his number it was pretty funny when she was expecting his call but Subin called her instead lol
Fun fact: when I first discovered namuwiki one of the first things I looked up was Cruel Temptation and I felt very vindicated to see that Korean audiences found Nino annoying too š¤£
I looked up Lee Shia's Instagram, and she looks so much like Park Hana with the brown bob cut! Seems like Jung-Won…
Yeah I'm starting to realize that some people dislike Jeongwon so much their criticisms start make no logical sense. Or they don't actually watch dailies because if they do, I dare them to find a single drama where a character (usually an FL) had a near death experience at the hands of the Big Bad and didn't become more calculating and cold after recovering (I don't think the people complaining realize that in a daily there's usually three events that will ALWAYSchange how the FL interacts with the antagonist: -being sent to prison for a crime she didn't commit - a family member gets murdered (in a sense this is what pushed Jeongwon to go back to living as as Jeongwon) - there's bodily harm involved and the FL has serious injuries
(Personally I don't understand hanging around to watch a drama if you really dislike the characters this is why more likely then not I avoid KBS1 dailies since most of those characters are way more annoying than the ones that are in KBS2 dailies)
I'm also glad that Nansook didn't kill Sangcheol because it spared us from Haneul's revenge arc which felt rather flimsy [and tbh I don't feel bad over what happened to Sangcheol so I probably wouldn't be into the whole Haneul avenging his dad thing. But I am living for Haneul coming after Taeseok lol]
If Jeongwon dies that would completely subvert the makjang drama playbook which would be ... interesting. Hyera…
Jukyung didn't have a twin in Elegant Empire iirc. Heejae was supposed to be a Japanese-Korean heiress (like she hired an actor from Japan to pretend to be her dad and they staged an entire scene where he "disowned her" so she could stay in South Korea lol)
Because giyoon thought he killed jukyung by tampering with her car but in reality he killed her sister, as she was driving. so jukyung decided to take on a new Identity+ get surgery to hide her birthmark which would've identified her.
Heejae would claim that she was "best friends" with Jukyung because she held that against Giyoon when she first approached him as Heejae. She would also position herself as wanting to find out what REALLY happened to her "friend", What I don't remember is how Jukyung got the funds to become Heejae but she had help from someone since she was a poor orphan lol
As for Jeongwon I am hoping to see it because I've seen some clips of Lee Shia in historical dramas and she has an intensity that would translate very well into the modern makjang š
Think sehun just wants the position cause haneul has it . Heās a lame-o Think Semi walks in and is shocked to…
Yeah I gotta say, I've kinda lost interest in Sehoon after Jeongwon went back to being Jeongwon. Haneul is standing on business, Sehoon is engaging in child's play.
I guess the only thing stopping Youngchae or any of the other characters from leaking the video is the fact that Kunhyang could block articles about it or otherwise prevent it from reaching the masses
Oh yeah I didn't think that Semi would feel guilty. Well, I hope she does so she can accept Jeongwon and we can throw the Semi-Jeongwon-Haneul love triangle plotline in the trash where it belongs.
I like the way the story is being told too because at the rate we are going, the ending won't be rushed. (There's nothing worse than when a daily wastes time on an irrelevant plotline leading to the main story getting a rushed resolution in the last week.) TBH this is the best daily drama I've seen in a long time. If the writer doesn't fumble the script, this may end up in my top 5 of daily dramas. Whatever drama takes over this time slot after A Graceful Liar ends has big shoes to fill.
Thank you to Tia for linking the preview! now to make sense of this with my basic Korean:Hyera is actually going…
manager hwang would be my guess, but I don't think Taeseok knows that he betrayed him yet
with how the episode ended (with ye olde hospital pillow of death) if they don't move Jeongwon to a different hospital after this they probably never will move her smh lol
The cancer storyline is really a wet blanket on what would otherwise be a decent daily drama. Like seriously. If it wasn't for that I would probably give this 9/10 stars. (Yes, really) But with only 21 episodes left there's no reason to drop this.
Scrolled down to the comments a lil and saw that the writer fumbled the ending. Well, we'll see if the ending is bad enough that I end up skipping out on this author's works in the future...
Oh and it's safe to say that this writer likes going for shock value - Hyera attempting to hang herself twice over the course of 5 minutes clued me in (not me feeling bad for Hanyang ...)
No preview?!?! KBS2 how could you do this to me š but anywaysHell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Jin…
Thank you to Tia for linking the preview! now to make sense of this with my basic Korean:
Hyera is actually going to hold a press conference/interview where she asserts Kibeom's innocence and I think Sehoon is going to side with Taeseok? The preview is edited to make it seem like Sehoon was eavesdropping on her with the intention of doing something sneaky. Then it shows Sehoon and Taeseok walking together, like they are on a mission.
Kunhyang Association looks like they are getting some action too. Tomorrow's episode looks like it's going to be the precursor to one of those board meetings where they vote the problematic character out.
The journalist and Manager Gu are going to see something that has them shook, but what? I guess we'll find out tomorrow. This was the most interesting part of the preview to me tbh it'd be wild if they witnessed Taeseok commiting yet another crime lol
And if you were wondering, the preview doesn't show or mention Jeongwon at all!
Ju Young-Chae's actress is also in this drama (she played Jun-Hyuk's sister!) I completely forgot lol
Oh yeah she WAS the sister that was bullying Eundong at the very beginning lol I guess that's why Youngchae looked vaguely familiar when I started A Graceful Liar haha
No preview?!?! KBS2 how could you do this to me š but anyways
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Jin Taeseok is going DOWN! I find it ironic how Hyera and Nansook can put their differences aside to take down the "bigger evil" but Sehoon, despite blackmailing his "dad", felt the need to undermine Haneul's plan. I guess Sehoon is going about this in a "if I can't take you down no one can" type of way. Yeah okay, like YOU are going to do anything to Taeseok on your own... taking him down will be a team effort. If Sehoon takes Taeseok down on his own, I'm a chaebol heiress.
We have Semi, Haneul, Taeseok and Youngchae at the hospital, and Taeseok is about to go for a good old hospital murder. Someone is about to walk in on him - probably Haneul or Semi would be my guess. Haneul would probably fight Taeseok but Semi... Part of me thinks she would be horrified and this gets her on Team AntiTaesok but another part wonders... what if she actually is for this? Semi would benefit from Jeongwon dying but I think the former is more likely. Semi being THAT antagonistic would be so out of character...
I'm honestly surprised Youngchae didn't call Nansook once Taeseok threatened her life. She would call her for lesser things.... I must've missed something but this is one plot hole if I've ever seen one. Like yeah she wants to "escape Nansook's influence" which I get but I think if I were Youngchae I would make an exception for this particular situation. You need crazy to fight crazy lol
Regardless, Manager Hwang going rogue was pretty awesome and I'm glad he straight up told Haneul the truth - in return, we missed out on 10 episodes of angst and unnecessary secrets so THANK YOU for sparing me the frustration and NOT dragging that reveal out! I hope Manager Hwang stays low key about it though because I've never seen a secretary go up against their boss in a daily and it go well for them.
It would be crazy if this drama subverted the whole "hospital murder attempt" trope and Jeongwon wakes up right then and there, cocks her fist back and punches Taeseok in the jaw. A girl can dream....
