Finally got caught up and the episode ends with Sunyoung confronting her daughter... And well... like idk if it's normal in Korea for the landlord to take such an interest in the tenant but I'd get irritated too if I was renting a room from someone (strictly as a business deal) and they are extremely interested in me. But beggars can't be choosers now can they...
Although I do wonder what Suji's future plans are... surely she won't spend the rest of the series in that room lol (and I hope not because I like the hospital scenes)
And if this show ends like pink lipstick did, y'all are about to be real mad lol
Definitely! Nayeon is a bit like a typical FL at the beginning, but once the revenge starts (way sooner than it does here lol) , she completely does a 180 and becomes very calculating. I hope you like it!
So ep 91... unsurprisingly, not much happened today. I think I'll come back to this one in a few weeks (and I probably won't watch another daily by this writer, since I had the same issues with pink lipstick 14 years ago. Slow pacing and filler is her M.O.)
If you want a fun daily where the FL marries into the family for revenge, highly recommend The Promise with Lee Yoori
Sidenote, I wonder if Aeja's character is popular amongst Korean audiences. She gets quite a lot of screentime (at the cost of more relevant plotlines not being addressed)
And btw, I fully expect the "I will expose you" line to be a day dream/dream sequence lol this wouldn't be the first time this drama has done that with a preview. I'm just so thirsty for the revenge to start 😠in fact, I'll probably start watching an older daily and I bet I'll get to the revenge part faster than this drama will!
Right now, to me, Jihoon being threatened is the most interesting subplot. It could be the coworker, it could be Jeguk, or ... they could even be working together
Seeing all those unresolved plotlines all listed out like that is absolutely insane... But I needed to see it lol, I totally forgot about some of those events due to how off the pacing is (yes, even by daily drama standards)
Seran pulling a makjang classic move of the 2FL stealing the FLs work and presenting it as her own... I wonder if this will bring us back to the revenge or if Dajung's threat in the preview is all talk no action. I don't even care if Yohan and Dajung get together but at this point I'm ready for Dajung and Jeguk to divorce because the love triangle is weighing down the plot.
Btw, I agree with the commenters who think that the male coworker is blackmailing Jihoon. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the "body double"'s brother or something.
32 episodes left.... considering how much Seran has gotten away with, I for one am so curious to see what the final blow will be. What will it take to get her caught?
Any update ml fl dating?Any kissing update between them?
The FL is still married to the chairman and so they spent the last 10 or so episodes being angsty over this. However it seems like next episode (EP 91) they're teaming up for revenge.
From what I saw Seran and Sangchul were keeping it platonic, but I wouldn't be surprised if she got back with…
Honestly? Those scenes felt like unnecessary filler. We already know Sangchul and Seran are trash, writer, we want to see the "good" characters give them what they deserve. It's things that like that make me forget this is supposed to be a revenge drama
When are the subtitles available? Without them…imagination goes into overdrive. Another possible twist that…
From what I saw Seran and Sangchul were keeping it platonic, but I wouldn't be surprised if she got back with him after it's revealed that Jihoon killed Songyi
Today's episode was boring save for the messiness at the end with Jihoon and Seran. Not much was done on the revenge side (which is what I expected, the revenge has clearly taken a backseat to the love triangle's angst) but I must say the highlight of the episode was when Ms. Yang flexed on Aeja lol
Looks like tomorrow's episode will hopefully bring us closer to those dramatic reveals
I'm still watching this... - Jeguk is absolutely wild for ordering his nephew to get stabbed lol. It absolutely did have the opposite effect and brought Yohan and Dajung closer. And now that Dajung knows he is behind it, it will likely push them apart lol -i had to laugh at seran and her uncle thinking they could really get one over on Jeguk. You can never outsmart an evil chaebol CEO (unless it's at the very end of the series haha) I guess we won't be seeing the uncle for a while - Dajung's revenge has been extremely anticlimactic thus far, as someone who exclusively watches daily dramas I know about the pacing. I'm comparing this to other dailies such as The Promise or Miss MonteCristo, but I think a huge part of the anticlimacticness comes from the fact that Jung Dajung is still Jung Dajung. It's not like she's acquired a new identity, so there's none of that psychological torment from the villains who are confused as to if Dajung is really Dajung, (if that makes sense lol) even in dailies where the FL doesn't take on a new identity (Gold Mask) there are still ways she can have an active part in the revenge. I know she married CEO Wang for the power and authority he has (to aid in her revenge) but like I said, outside of becoming the team lead, having "MIL authority", locking seran in the wine cellar, caning her and getting her imprisoned (when she got out within a week), not much has been done. Hopefully that changes soon. - Seems like ever since Seran weaseled her way out of jail, the revenge has taken a backseat to the romantic drama between Jeguk, Yohan and Dajung + Anna's parentage being revealed. It definitely adds a new layer to the drama. Things will probably get exciting again when Seran finds out. -speaking of excitement, Jihoon killing Songyi was a twist I didn't see coming. It makes sense when you think about it. I've seen enough makjangs to know that money talks, especially when it comes from your evil makjang CEO. Things will get so messy when it's revealed - not only will this impact his relationship with Dajung, but also Seran. Not to mention Sangchul. I do wonder who is writing the letters though.... - Noel and Harin are annoying with their insistence on their respective Wangs. Harin way more. The story could've become more high stakes if Harins role was given to Susan (Yohan's ex-wife) as for Noel, I don't feel sympathetic to her drunk crying over a "playboy" (her words) who treated her wrong. -not going to lie I never actually got invested in the whole Noel amnesia plot. I'm fully expecting Dajung and Noel to reconcile when it's revealed that she's her daughter. - there have been subtle signs that bobae is tiring of Aeja and doubting Seran. I do sense aeja trying to stage a hostile takeover of Bobaejung. It's been predicted that bobae will have a heart attack/die. I hope not, but it's a very likely possibility. And if Aeja does stage her hostile takeover, Miss Yang better watch her back - side note, I can't believe it took me this long to realize that Mari and Aejas actresses were also in cahoots in The Second Husband as well haha
There's about 6 weeks of this drama left. 6 weeks to iron out the secrets that are starting to be revealed. If the reveals are handled properly and not rushed, this will be glorious. The pacing I admittedly had to get used to (I usually watch 100 ep makjangs, and I see now that the 20 episode difference really shows) but it's definitely better than the other revenge daily that's currently airing right now, there's way less obnoxious comedic relief in this one!
Although I do wonder what Suji's future plans are... surely she won't spend the rest of the series in that room lol (and I hope not because I like the hospital scenes)
There is one thing I'm confused about though... Is Uri and Duri's mother also Sooji/Sookyung's mother?

And it's funny how aeja and seran can eavesdrop perfectly fine but whenever it's Dajung there's always some form of interruption 😂
