currently in the last 2 weeks of the drama I'll say it's picking up at a nice pace, the ending seems like it won't be dragged out for the last minute
I will say things started to drag a bit until Eunchong stopped being the focal part of the story and everything orbiting around him. Like now we barely see him because so much is going on lol

Honestly , Hyundeok's actress is one of my favorite of the "halmonis" - she was also one of my favorite parts in the third marriage but in game of witches she's playing a pure cold-blooded, sociopathic narcissist who has zero redeeming qualities. All evil in that drama can be traced back to her...
I like Seyoung too. I'm liking the drama of Hyesung, Yukyung and Seyoung regarding the daughter switch. I hate when characters find out their long lost relatives and immediately bond. I'm liking how it's slow-paced and how hyesoo is somewhat distrustful of yugyung.
The screenwriter also wrote ice Adonis. I hope she also graces us with another intense daily!
I'll check out defendant. It sounds like a good legal themed drama?

Yes!! Omg rant incoming
I love the intensity of it lol. The level of manipulation, lies, schemes scandal and PURE DRAMA is intricate and like nothing else I've seen before in a daily.
Ma Hyundeok is one of the coldest, cruelest "evil chaebols" to grace a daily drama. She dethrones my previous pick, Chihwan from meant to be
Skip this if you haven't seen it - spoiler alert!
she cut her grandson off for cheonha. Chihwan at the very least still accepted sena as his daughter
spoiler over
Not to mention, I like Kim Gyu Sun as Hyesoo. I liked her in Snow White's Revenge - I like her as a lead so I'm enjoying that... Inha is a good male lead. I like him too so I enjoy their romance scenes lol
And Seyoung's terrible life choices ðŸ˜
Oh ChangSeok really grew on me here too. I remember his intro in "the two sisters" where he was sweet and good natured. But jihoon?? Oh ChangSeok plays the greedy antagonist well. I CANNOT WAIT to see what happens when it gets revealed he's a fraud!
Jang Seohee. Enough said.
TL;DR I love it and I'm purposely dragging it out because I don't want it to end ðŸ˜
This sounds.... like a daily I wouldn't usually watch since I prefer the overdramatic scandalous makjangs lmao. but I'll give it a fair chance for it's first 2-3 weeks or so. Who knows, I could end up liking it?
I pointed it out earlier that Seo Hajoon and Yoon Ahjung would be working together again since The Secret House .... but I didn't realize that this drama also features Oh Changseok and Seo Hajoon working together again as well, since KBS's The Two Sisters last year!
Assuming Myeongji is the culprit who caused the Goo parents' deaths, Jiseok cannot possibly pair up with the daughter…
My full theory for the ending is that Myeongji is going to die in some over the top way, which would mean problems related to "dealing with Myeongji" will be solved with that ... Seyoung and Yeojin - if Myeongji doesn't kill her beforehand - will probably get jail sentences for a few years... then I expect a time skip and it shows everyone (except Myeongji since she's dead lol) being a happy mixed family, Jingoo and Hana getting married etc
Like I said I don't really care who ends up with who, I was just pointing out the multiple conversations that Jiseok and Seyoung had about that topic.
Btw I am a firm believer in not all dramas needing romance or their leads perfectly being paired up at the end! So I am perfectly fine with Jiseok ending up single or with someone else. It could be one of the other women who work in Seyoung/Hana's department, OR a new character would have to be written in. As long as it doesn't take away too much from the main story I can live with it.
Here is my bold theory -- JiSeok will not get paired with SeYoung in the end. Instead, she will end up alone and…
re: #3 in one of the more recent episodes, when Yeojin was investigating Myeongji before her accident, she found out that Myeongji used real estate investing as a way to make her money and create slush funds
I finally got caught up and these final ten episodes are going to be crazy ... Seyoung showing character development in the final hour is surprising because I thought that she was going to go fully down with Myeongji. But like I pointed out at the beginning of this drama, Myeongji wants Hyesung way more than Seyoung did... I think the fact that Myeongji held information from Seyoung and Yeojin is going to irrevocably ruin Myeongji and Seyoung's relationship...
Which the drama totally needs at this point in the story btw. Myeongji claims she's doing everything "for Seyoung" so Seyoung turning against her will either be the narcissistic injury that causes Myeongji to lose all control and/or Myeongji will finally just admit she wants Hyesung, Seyoung was just a tool in her eyes. One thing is for sure, I think Seyoung is going to somehow link Jiseok and Hana to the notebook... and Myeongji's downfall. She would have a better idea of the location of Myeongji's safe than anyone else...
As for the pairings of the leads, Jingoo and Hana are clearly endgame but Jiseok and Seyoung ... I can see Seyoung ending up like Juryun from Snow White's Revenge or Kyunghye from Mysterious Personal Shopper, where the events of the series ultimately causes the 2FL to live a more humble and less glamorous life than she did before... Jiseok could be friendly towards her idk. He has implied enough times that he likes Seyoung and wants her to go out of Myeongji's shadow before seriously pursuing her.
I don't have a preference for their ending relationship status tbh, I just hope that this series ends with Hana adopting Eunchong
Still catching up lol but I can easily say that Myeongji is the biggest hustler of all time. I CANNOT wait to…
Damn, for all her griminess, Myeongji is still an inept villain. How are you a makjang villain but screw up the old "take the oxygen mask off the patient" murder 💀💀💀
And Jang Shin-Young played the avenger in Thorn Flower... she'll kick ass here!
I haven't seen thorn flower yet but I trust that it's good! tvn's dailies were some of the best. Between this and the Queen's House, us daily drama watchers are about to be well fed 😂
How are you liking Secret House so far? I enjoyed it.
I love the darker tone of it. Taehyung's mother is absolutely evil and I love it. I'm on the part where Taehee and Jihwan start their marriage for revenge. I am tuned in for sure lmao
I will say things started to drag a bit until Eunchong stopped being the focal part of the story and everything orbiting around him. Like now we barely see him because so much is going on lol
