I purposely didn't watch any of the episodes this week because I wanted to binge watch today and I was not disappointed

As a Flyers fan I had to laugh at the sports bar in Philadelphia being filled with Pittsburgh Penguins and Sidney Crosby posters (this would absolutely never happen in real life LMFAO) the Flyers are so bad that the PDs completely skipped over getting their paraphernalia 💀💀💀

A for effort I suppose

Commentary that's relevant to the story: Hanryu is really putting himself through it to fund Dahae's lifestyle. (The scene where his ex-boss made him crawl on the floor like a dog???) Man this inevitable betrayal is going to cut deep

I've seen 100+ episode makjangs that feature the "studying abroad = adultery" trope and it's nice seeing a condensed version

Also idk why but I feel like Dohoon is actually Dokyung's son and not her brother. One thing is for sure, she's about to be mad as hell that he's been shacking up with Dahae in America lol

Honestly I am right there with you! If they aren't going to help their moms with their hostile takeover (I would prefer watching Jeongwon and Haneul working with Nansook and Hyera than Jeongwon and Haneul working with Mihyang and Manager Hwang) I just hope they stay out the way like the moms are literally doing this for THEM, don't sabotage the cause!

Honestly the only reason why I care about Sehoon's arc at this point is I'm looking forward to the meltdown he will have when he finds out that he is actually NOT a member of the Kunhyang family. I'm not rooting for him at all.

I don't hate youngchae (it takes A LOT for me to dislike villainous 2FLs) but she needs to realize that she's not built for this (scheming) at all lol. If any character gets a redemption I would hope it's her ... But I'm not holding my breath tbh

Seems like today's episode (74) she's gonna get exposed for faking being pregnant (honestly I keep forgetting until other characters point it out) so hopefully this ends with her getting kicked out the house...

Right now I actually prefer A Graceful Liar over Queens House lol

I feel like the stakes are way higher in a A Graceful Liar so it's more interesting. The antagonsts are way better, and Queens House fumbled the last arc with that stupid love triangle.

(Also, A Graceful Liar has Nansook! Who is probably my favorite makjang villain of all time now lol I low-key want her to win, morals be damned 😭)

What about you?

ikr, I would've thought there would be way more 😭

Oh yeah life is way too short to be getting mad at dramas??? lmao like go punch a pillow if you need to relieve stress that badly 💀

Haneul choosing to join the fight against Taeseok is the best thing that happened to his character tbh, especially when you consider how he's a very good foil to Sehoon, who just feels like a fish out of water when it comes to these chaebol games lol

Haneul going along with the press conference, ACTUALLY naming Taeseok and then not backing down when Taeseok confronted him afterwards was EVERYTHING

When I came up with that scenario I figured that there's no way Jin Taeseok is going to make it to the end of this drama alive (I'll be very surprised if he does) so the screenwriter should go hard and make his final arc memorable

Like seriously if this ends with a Jin Taeseok redemption I'll be shocked

I need to finish the two sisters lol. Last I remember of Bae Doeun she was still scheming to become Hyewon's MIL
(I actually liked Doeun better than Hyewon at that point) But I dropped it. I think I dropped it before the screenwriter changed lol. But hey if I got through woman in a veil I can absolutely get through the two sisters 😭👀

This is probably the darkest daily drama I've watched in a while. The vibes of the posters are very fitting. Like most dailies, there's gag scenes, but unlike most dailies, the gag scenes are few and far between
(One of the gag characters actually gets killed off ??? LMFAOOOO)

This is one of those rare dailies where the ML is the main character. I think the last one I've seen was Man in a Veil. Seo Hajoon is our lead, he's on a path for revenge after his mother went missing under mysterious circumstances. Oh and if that's not enough, his sister gets murdered too...

The villains are something else. I've always liked Lee Seungyeon but I've become an even bigger fan since her performance in A Graceful Liar (highly recommend btw) but Sookjin is THE final boss here. I knew it once she was willing to commit ELECTION FRAUD for her golden child Taehyung. Taehyung himself is the kind of ambitious that's fun to watch

The FLs are Taehee and Juhong. Taehee is actually my favorite character just because I sympathize with the abuse she gets. Juhong comes off as bit of a Mary Sue but she's kind of getting interesting now that she married into the family.

I low-key feel bad saying this but Sol freaks me out for some reason (I will absolutely pause a show if the child character annoys me, see Nino from Cruel Temptation lmao) and that's kind of why I put this on pause for a second. However, I came across some interesting spoilers that make me want to circle back to this...

I also have a strong suspicion that Taehyung isn't actually Sookjin's son. If so, that's going to be some insane karma........

I've never left a comment on this drama... so I might as well share my thoughts on this one

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

Wait a Nansook love line would be fun lmaoooo

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!!!

Yw and I hope you enjoy!

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!

Thank you! Feel free to suggest more when you come across some 👀

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 😭

Thank you so much for the recs!!! From what I hear about Jang Heebin I think I'll end up liking her too lol

It's going to be very interesting to see how his arc ends because right now it's looking like he's going to fail at achieving all of these lol
