Hello,I guess things aren’t great in SK.At least in the US when they interrupt a regularly scheduled broadcast,…
I heard about the current events in SK so I completely understand why they keep delaying the drama... At least it gives me time to watch my other dramas lol
From what we see so far 'Kind' is a better descriptor for Seonju than "desparate"... maybe as we get further into the drama we'll see why the title was officially translated as "desparate miss Seonju"!
Namjin was warmish towards Jihyun at the beginning... granted, we don't see much of Namjin and Seonju interact…
I've seen (unofficial) summaries hinting that somehow, this is going to turn into a revenge drama....most of the dailies in this timeslot are revenge dramas so that's just me speculating...
But revenge or not, I just want my OT4 (Seonju, Sowoo, Taeri & Jihyun) to live happily ever after 😭
Namjin was warmish towards Jihyun at the beginning... granted, we don't see much of Namjin and Seonju interact…
I am happy you like my idea! Sometimes I think about writing a daily drama for fun lol
In the very first episode, there's a scene with JungBae and Soonae (SangAh and Chua's parents) talking. Thats where they reveal that Soonae is the mother of Chua and that SangA's birth mother passed away (this is a makjang though, so never say never 👀). There was a line where JungBae was like "you treat Sangah better than Chua and she's not even yours" or something to that effect.
If the writers have to kill one of the children off... I hope Taeri is the one that's spared. (Sorry to Jihyun but something has to happen for Seonju to get her revenge) Like if something happens to him or Sowoo I might have to take a break from this one lol
(1) Is Jihyun Namjin's biological daughter? (2) Is Taeri Sang-ah's biological son?Any spoilers are welcome.I don't…
Namjin was warmish towards Jihyun at the beginning... granted, we don't see much of Namjin and Seonju interact (we get the car accident subplot instead) but when Namjin came home, he was happy to see Jihyun and greeted her. As for SangA, she ditched Taeri multiple times, referred to him as "that child" instead of "my child" or even "my son". There was even a voiceover from a psychiatrist saying that Taeri is emotionally neglected by SangA.
The rest of this is pure speculation/theory:
There's no talk about nonbiological children in the drama iirc.... the only one I can think of is SangA - her mother is dead. Maybe that could influence SangA's indifference towards him (and if SangA herself was raised in that manner, she could view it as normal), maybe not.
Namjin comes off as frustrated by the situation... and is projecting that onto Jihyun..maybe, maybe not. Namjin comes off as he outgrew Seonju as a person while spending an extended time studying abroad. HOWEVER he is choosing to go about it in the wrong way (cheating and having an affair)
What I fear is that one of the children will eventually get killed off, since (makjang) kdrama writers generally don't like to write in blended families, and that would "solve" the issue of custody whenever it comes up in this story. (Since Korea doesn't do joint custody) I hope that I am wrong about this...
My prediction for how the story handles the kids: after the original couples divorce, Jihyun stays with Seonju. SangA's family keeps Taeri (using their money as leverage) and the neglect causes him to stop speaking... Seonju and Sowoo somehow get Taeri back and Seonju's positive energy helps bring Taeri out of his shell. The four live happily ever after...
And to answer your last question: unfortunately, yes. There are people out there with low emotional intelligence that put their own desires over their children. You can usually tell who they are because they make it obvious they're selfish af
Episode 6:Makjang "meet cute" logic never fails to amaze me. No one told Hana to speed after the car 😂 so why…
episode 7: This is the first makjang I've seen where the "industry" is tourism/tour guides. Of course Hana thinks that Jingoo is behind the article but it was really Seyoung. I'm surprised Seyoung and Hana didn't recognize each other, given what happened at the piano recital.
Lol @ Yeojin's assistant being Hana's ex MIL... she's gonna eat those words if Hana ever "becomes" Yujin
Yeah I'm not really feeling how the step siblings are treating Hana. I do feel a little warmer towards Jiseok though... because he's cooking something interesting with Yeojin.
Ji Suwon is really good at the mommie dearest type role lol. The scene with Jiseok, Jingoo and Seyoung outside the elevator made it clear to me that Seyoung doesn't actually want Hyesung/Jingoo... That's just Myeongji's ambition at work. I like Bangeul (Jingoo's mom) because she sees right through her. "Your ambition should match your abilities" that hurt me and I'm not even a character in the drama!
Hana's self righteousness is annoying.... The scene outside of the restaurant, girl be for real... I'll be glad when she catches the spirit of revenge. Until then I'm going to be mostly invested in the other three leads.
Episode ends with Seyoung going from 0 to 100 for no reason and slapping Hana. Tomorrows preview looks interesting, Hana keeps meddling in Jingoo and Seyoung's business.
So far, so good. I am glad this daily isn't running into broadcast delays like desparate ms. seonju is, because I'm enjoying this one way more!
Episode 6: Makjang "meet cute" logic never fails to amaze me. No one told Hana to speed after the car 😂 so why would Jingoo pay your speeding ticket? Make it make sense.
Seems like Seyoung and Jingoo are due to be married, but she likes Jiseok? The character chart for this daily isn't very clear. Jiseok seems to be plotting something. He seems to have some kind of beef with Hana. Idk how I feel about the step siblings so far... They don't seem to be very warm towards Hana. Eunchong though? He's golden
Hana already has a boyfriend but for nothing as his mother in law tried to scare her off but Hana pulled out the uno reverse. Good. I hope we never see these characters again lol.. I respect how Hana puts Eunchong over her spineless bf..minor character, be gone! Her beating him with the flowers was iconic lmao
Looks like Seyoung going nuclear with the press is the event that links the four leads together. Can't blame her though, those guys at the bar were wilding out lol.
Sidenote, the girl playing Seyoung looks like the actress who plays Seran in the third marriage (who is ironically, also named Seyoung) on to episode 7....
If it's not the sisters it will be her or his mother, his mother already uses her as a maid and i can't see SangA…
10,000% Namjin's mother is going to like SangA better and try to brown nose her because SangA comes from money lol 😂 I won't be surprised if she has a role in splitting up Namjin and Seonju at some point
It's crazy how there's three mothers in this drama (I don't count Woosang's mom she's comedic relief) and all three of them are so unlikeable in their own ways...
Watching Seonju's family try and fail to hustle money from the Jins is so annoying. I hope this subplot wraps up quickly lol
With Namjin telling Seonju he's out, and Sowoo wise to the affair, I have a strong feeling it affair will be exposed to Seonju by Friday.... or so I hope.
Can we talk about how Song Changeui's lips curled up with emotion as he saw the sd card footage? Good acting
Preview tomorrow shows Seonju in denial of the current situation, influenced by bad advice most likely given to her by one of her sisters. This will be fun I guess
Myung-ji has been established to be the grifter of all grifters and Jieun is unlikeable already! Either way, an exciting first week. Since the flashback scenes are all done with, all the characters are adults now (and it's set in 2024) so the story is going to start picking up a bit.
felt bad for hana when her parents died tbh, it's like she can't catch a break at all. i can't wait to see how messy things get as she gets intertwined with the shin/yoon family, and what happens when our male leads get involved. Seyoung doesn't seem to want the company as much as her mom is using her as a tool for her own desires... some of the things she taught her daughter... yikes...
wowow caught up on episode 13 (here i was, thinking i had missed three episodes this week) and I had to put my knitting down when it was revealed that sangah was the one who caused seonju to get sick at her entrance exam, pretty much derailing her future. what a villain.
the screenwriter is doing a great job at establishing the jin family as being the embodiment of the root of all evil... i don't think any of them (sangah, chuah, and their parents) are decent in any capacity
it was nice seeing Jihyun and Taeri interact lol. I like how her outgoing personality contrasts with his more withdrawn one. on a similar note, I do not understand the point of woosang and his mother so i've officially started skipping through their scenes lol
-Jeongin slips off the roof, her death was ruled accidental -Taechang is on the run because he smuggled benzos…
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I am not 100% sure but I believe that they are Sunae's stepsons from the man she married after Taechang. (Not sure about what happened to him, he was never shown.) Sunae unfortunately miscarriaged the baby she was pregnant with when she divorced Taechang
-Jeongin slips off the roof, her death was ruled accidental -Taechang is on the run because he smuggled benzos…
Of course. I love dailies so I like talking about them, regardless of the daily drama is bad or good LOL.
Yes, Jeongin knew Woojin was her son but would admit that she loved him as a man. It's so weird because it's written as a pure hearted innocent love.
Believe it or not, they did not talk about the fate of Jeongin entertainment at all during the finale. It can be assumed that since Jeongin died and Taechang is in jail, the company folded..... the ending didn't actually give us any clues about Juryun and Seokki's whereabouts in regards to their careers .. the entire ending was rushed
You're absolutely right regarding the second part of your comment: Seolah gave up her writing career to be the girlfriend/caretaker/wife (?) of Woojin (even though multiple characters hinted that she writes good enough dramas to make that her career)
Jeongin's death being an accident actually took me out of the finale... her death was 1000% used to get people (like me) watching until the end. Quite some time will have to pass before I watch a drama by this writer again lol
I have 3 theories: Yu Jin will become part of Ha Na's family (she apparently raises chosen siblings and a friend's…
I could see all three of your theories happening because they are being very mysterious about this drama... I'd also also love to learn how Hana's adopted brother ends up as a CEO lol
