That plot reminds me of Dangerous Woman. I can't watch it anywhere, but it was very similar to your theory.
I liked it so far! It reminds me a bit of the second husband - the 2FL's endgame is her family's company even tho she herself is not considered a "legit" heir 😭 toxic chaebol families are my makjang cryptonite so I'm pretty much enjoying it 💀 can't wait to continue it!
Now that I got a place to watch I'll probably restart it from episode 1

Thank you, I'm making notes of this! I started watching lady of the storm but the site I was using shut down right before I got to episode 10 😭 i liked what I saw so far

omg I want to watch that one too! ... especially after learning that the actress that plays mikang in meant to be played the FL... but just like you I can't find it anywhere.
I don't think I've finished a daily with that kind of subplot so I'm even more excited for Monday!!
Pure speculation on my part since the drama hasn't even started yet - I notice that both the FL and 2FL have the same family name (Kang), I know it's possible, and common for people in SK to have the same last name but share no family relation. But this is a makjang drama so I wonder if there's some kind of hidden family relationship between Seri and Jaein. I am so curious about that flashback in the teasers where teen Seri pulls off teen Jaein's name tag (or is it the other way around? It happened so fast in the teaser)
My guess is that Seri is likely not just going to be Jaein's "friend", she could also be Jaein's illegitimate half sister who is salty she can't inherit everything that is Jaein's (as well as the standard 2FL inferiority complex), hence Jaein's MO being "you can't live my life bc you'll never be me" But we'll definitely find out over the next few weeks!
Usually the people who will watch this to the end are people who like the daily makjang subgenre - 100/120 episodes is the standard depending on the network. So we're all used to it lol
Ji Soo Won plays a good character in Vengeance of the Bride, it's a good show..
I want to watch GR but it's blocked in the US because of Kocowa I'm assuming.... like if you're going to block us from watching it at least put it on streaming or something 😭
I liked the ending. No complaints from me. I liked how everything went full circle ... - Jingoo and Hana get married, Eunchong gets adopted (I loved the fact that Jieun made her dress!) - Myeongji's final grift fails big time and she gets dragged back to prison where she will rot for life :) just as I predicted, the one character who did not acknowledge her wrongs [no but the fact that Myeongji STILL viewed herself as the victim at the very end] suffered the worst ending lmao - Seyoung and Jingoo getting together I expected but I did not expect them expecting as well! - Seyoung volunteering at the orphanage that Hana and Yujin met at ... somewhat related but seeing the callback with Hana, Duna and Sena was nice as well ... - Jiseok and Hana both "adopted" Yeojin and Sungho as their parents
Solid daily, it's not dethroning any of my faves but I liked it a lot better than the last two that were in this time slot. (No really, the ending of Snow White's Revenge made me crash out in the comments lmaooo) I found the story engaging and I appreciated that the comedic characters (Jichang and Jieun) were there to lighten the mood but they weren't so obnoxious that they took you out the show or took away from the main story.
I do appreciate the themes this show had: family is not just blood but can be chosen (notice how Hana's actual mother never actually made an appearance except at the very very beginning) and that the sins of your family don't necessarily mean that YOU are a bad person and of course, acknowledging your wrongs and growing from them is a big one. This is a very grey drama, no black-and-white storytelling here.... our "good" characters were bad at points and the "bad" characters do good things at points. It makes for an interesting story....
I give the drama 8/10 and added it to my "daily dramas I would watch again" list. This was a fun one.
Now here's hoping I enjoy Queen's House just as much if not more! Interesting how we go from Snow White -> Cinderella -> Queen....
The writer killed of the victim, Carry Jung, who started the revenge. The last 20 episodes aren't so good.
Damn!! I accidentally opened up this comment before the other one but you know what? I'm glad I did. I would be annoyed if I made it that far and saw that she died 😭 that sucks to hear that the last 20 episodes are disappointing. For me, that's usually the best part of a daily because that's usually when the plot really starts getting interesting. Wow...
I'll probably end up watching it in the future when I forget you told me this, lmao
Thank you for mentioning the morally grey part! That's one of the better areas of this drama. I'm okay with Se-Young's…
I like it too! It feels way more realistic when its written this way. The one thing I can't stand in makjangs is when an absolutely vile and evil character with no redeeming qualities (you know the type!) learns some information (usually relating to a long lost relative) and they suddenly have the goodness in their hearts to make a full 180 in less than one episode 😭 so I'm happy Cinderella game is avoiding doing that
Ji Soo Won plays a good character in Vengeance of the Bride, it's a good show..
Oh really? That one was on my list because of jang seohee and lee chaeyoung 😭 maybe that'll be the next older daily I watch.... Have you seen it? What did you think of it?
First episode did a very good job at establishing Mucheol and Mija as terrible people lol if I make it that far it will be fun when they inevitably lose their money.
Demanding money from and assaulting the bereaved family at a funeral is crazy work, and I can feel Mija's insecurity through my TV screen. Even their son is an unlikeable crypto bro who is a jobless bum. It's so cartoonish it feels like a parody lmao
Ji Suwon is absolutely amazing at portraying the shamelessness of Myeongji... I'm watching ep 98 the scene where Seyoung is trying to reason with her and Myeongji's shamelessness is so abundant it could fill the pacific ocean. She absolutely believes she's in the right, and is a victim of everybody else. My blood is absolutely boiling
Now that I think about it, she plays the main antagonist in gracious revenge, also written by Oh Sanghee. Haven't seen it yet, but there's an interesting connection
Hats off to Ji Suwon and Oh Sanghee 😭 now I gotta watch a drama where she's playing a good character
I actually liked Jingoo's proposal to Hana. I found it sweet how they involved Eunchong and his friends. I'm excited to see them become a family :) they aren't topping Haein and Jinwoo from meant to me, but I enjoy them as a couple. Unpopular opinion but I'm saying it, I'm a fan of Seyoung's redemption arc, it's not black and white, there are shades of gray. This drama is full of a lot of morally grey characters so it tracks. Anyhow, why would she have the emotional intelligence to make a full 180 when she was raised by Myeongji? I prefer the greyness of it all.
Jiseok and Seyoung will probably be endgame. I can live with that. The foreshadowing is very strong with this one, sorry y'all lol
Sidenote. I am laughing at the preview of this episode, [the one at the end of episode 97] making it seem like Seyoung died and Hana was at her funeral - the part where she was holding the flowers and saying 'i feel sorry for Seyoung and Duna'. Good one, producers 😭

Yes, I agree. honestly they all need psychotherapy because I wouldn't be able to trust anyone after this lol
