Why did MBC decide to extend this drama when it's obvious the screenwriter is running out of ideas. Did the screenwriter blackmail someone in charge? ... We are going in circles and the writer is forgetting the traits of the characters... seriously? Seorin was the first to clock Hwayoung's scheming nature yet she thinks Hwayoung is the chairman's daughter instead of realizing there's a scheme going on?
Nambong remains useless btw and I'm surprised he hasn't hit up Hwayoung at all... that being said it was pretty funny when Youngja told him "maybe we can co-author a paper together" I still am the most interested in Youngja's storyline but it's starting to get boring tbh... I low-key ship Kanghyuk with Youngja though lol
Junho is not the victim he thinks he is (this is in response to last week's episodes because I didn't comment at all lol) and if the writer is trying to make him totally irredeemable and one dimensional, she succeeded. I dislike seeing him on my screen... At this rate Jangmi could shoot him in the face and he would still be convinced that they are destiny... like Baekho and Jangmi are literally married. (or are they? Not like it changes anything because no still means no) Hey Junho, a dead horse called and he said "stop beating me"
If you're going to make Junho evil that's fine but it's time for a new motive outside of getting with Jangmi. How would I handle this if I were the writer? After Baekho punched the shit out of Junho last week I would've made it so Junho realized that Jangmi will never choose him. So ... he decides to ruin her as well as Baekho. Hongju and Junho marry each other for business purposes and as Hongju is the (step)daughter of Dream, Junho with the help of Hongju, uses his newfound power to crush them, and Hwayoung decides to help her son in the best way she knows how... giving Baekho and Jangmi something to do besides twiddling their thumbs and wait for Eunhye to be found. (I know they explained the logic but there's really no reason not to expose Hwayoung right now lol) Hongju would also get something to do besides lurk around. Her unrequited crush on Baekho would be the perfect motive, also the fact that she was Seorin's "servant" at the beginning of the drama...
Basically Hongju and Junho get upgraded to Jin Final Boss status. The couples would then duke it out to try to get ownership of dream while Seorin plays both sides with the intention of having the competition take themselves out. Eventually she would side with Jangmi... and the good guys win. I would find that way more interesting than whatever ....this is.
Speaking of Baekho remember when it was implied he was adopted and he had a habit of touching his ears that lasted exactly one (1) episode? I do but the writer clearly does not 🙃
This "twist" of Sukhee being the chairman's daughter is so stupid and was clearly thought out to buy us more time until episode 140. I actually really hate this subplot lmao. Seems like Hwayoung will make herself into the fake daughter and since she runs circles around everyone in this drama she'll probably get away with it for a while... it also doesn't help that Sukhee is mentally 3 (I said it once and I'll say it again, Bora is more mature than Sukhee) so she's easy to take advantage of. See: the incident with the hikers.
Well we'll see what happens tomorrow... how I wish this was still 120 episodes LOL
OKAY Seowoo being the one to expose Yuna and Ms. Shin's relationship!!! This has been my favorite thing she's done thus far
Meanwhile Yuna continues to be human trash and throw her mom under the bus.... I know I fussed about Ms. Shin at the beginning of the drama (back when Yuna was somewhat sympathetic) but Yuna is AWFUL for blaming her mom for the meds switch... It's actual sociopathic behavior that she lied with a straight face to the Jangs while ON HER KNEES and then crocodile teared her way to sympathy. It was wild after everyone left and Seowoo called Yuna out... only for Yuna's tears to immediately dry up??? 😭
The chairman is standing on business tho and not folding, love that for him. Haneul continues to be Yuna's lifeline and it's going to suck (for her) when the truth about who his father is, is exposed. I can't wait for that lol
Wow... Hyunjin may have replaced Yoonchul as my least favorite character. Like I'm not mad he's gay but like.... if you're going to live your truth then live your truth ... Don't completely ghost everyone, quit your job and hide away. Live your truth but not at the expense of women... It's very cowardly how he's treating Seowoo. Tbh I am surprised the writer was allowed to even put this storyline into a morning drama since SK is socially conservative but I guess SBS was like "this is our last daily drama anyway so do as you please" to the writer
Back to Hyunjin. He knew he was gay before he proposed to Seowoo. Granted Hyejin and Mingoo think that he's getting cold feet because of "another woman" but they weren't wrong when they said he shouldn't have proposed to Seowoo in the first place 🤷🏾♀️ he definitely shouldn't have slept with her either (regarding my previous comment about the actress playing Seowoo. . That was the most awkward "bed" scene I've seen, it was unintentionally hilarious because yet again, she only emotes by making her eyes bigger 😭) I'm actually happy that Hyejin and Mingoo are calling him out for this ... because if this were an American show they would have told Seowoo to get over it and accept Hyunjin's "true self".
Meanwhile, Yuna engages in clownery and the clown comes back to bite... Big time. The merger between D&H and Lala Group is going to be so fun. It's also interesting how Junho doesn't care that Yeonhee is having success with her shopping mall but Yuna is so threatened by it for some reason. Well I guess now she's really about to be threatened.
Still fast-forwarding through this stupid subplot of Minjeong and Junhee fighting over Yoonchul. Can we cut this shit out and focus on the real pressing matters such as stopping Yuna?! Btw it's pure comedy every time Junho calls Yeonhee 여보 in front of Yuna ... it adds 5 years to my life
I can't believe this was SBS's last daily ... I thought this would be on the same level of bad as Phoenix 2020 but I'm actually enjoying it...
omg she set this man up... framed for a 4 BILLION won theft but left under the guise of "separating (only…
No fr... leaving your husband after setting him up and then saying they're still married once he hits big is crazy work 😭 and that's only in the beginning so I'm sure she'll do more villainous activities as I go on (much to my viewing pleasure lol)
Nambong didn't annoy me today, probably because Youngja served him some Ls lol. I'm not even going to go into the whole koreatown run in.... disbelief suspended 🤪
Junho has now entered irredeemable territory 🤷🏾♀️ there's no way he can come back from this. You know it's bad when HWAYOUNG is questioning your actions. Maybe Baekho and Taepyung can jump him for my viewing pleasure.... after all, shit tends to happen when Taepyung and Baekho put their heads together. Hopefully this is one of those times lol
Not much to say here that hasn't been said regarding the last few episodes. Seorin pines over Junho, Junho looks down on her for it while simultaneously doing the same to Jangmi, and Hongju is like her mom in the sense she doesn't know when to hang it up. However, I appreciated the soju ad with none other than the tacky Sanwol. I'm looking forward to Seonghye clocking her next episode because her insecurity got old fast.
Also lol @ LAWYER Baekho staging a "commitment ceremony" before registering the marriage. Guess the writer forgot that Baekho is supposed to be a lawyer... who should know a marriage isn't valid until you register it, wedding be damned...
I was taken aback by his shouting and aggression when he is the Cheater! I am tired of their quarrels as the dialogue…
I had thought that I replied to you already lol but I guess I forgot to hit "post"!
One of the good things about this drama is that it's showing Eunjung's skill as an actress. She's doing a phenomenal job playing the twins... proving herself to be this gens daily drama legend
So I was being nice gave Baekho the benefit the doubt and thought he would legally register the marriage before the commitment ceremony but it looks like the so called lawyer wasn't smart enough to do that 😭
Nambong is going to get a terrible ending SOOOOOON! Or else...
Fr!!! I hope Hwayoung & Nambong commit a felony togehter and he gets charged as her accomplice. However knowing how much of a simp he is he'd probably happily volunteer himself to go to prison lol
I was taken aback by his shouting and aggression when he is the Cheater! I am tired of their quarrels as the dialogue…
I feel like the only reason they're writing Seorin out for a bit (that's if she even goes) is to give Eunjung a break. I hope they don't cast another actress because Eunjung is doing a great job at portraying the twins - they feel like two different people..
Honestly I hate how yeongja can't have a simple conversation with her sons without Nambong busting into the room and screaming and yelling. Because he says a whole lot of nothing. It was telling when Baekho demanded nambong apologize and he just stood there.... Hopefully her getting with Kanghyuk silences him lololol
omg she set this man up... framed for a 4 BILLION won theft but left under the guise of "separating (only…
I gotta circle back to this drama because seeing Oh Hyunkyung in the First Man... I like her as a villain lol I've been thinking about Mija for a while now
Not Junhee having a crush on greasy ass Yoonchul ... Disgusting!!!! 🤮 She could do SO much better.... I'll be fast forwarding through all their scenes. I hope they're not endgame. This subplot of her and Minjeong fighting over him OF ALL PEOPLE is so unnecessary. Yikes!
Oh and Yuna is truly gunning for Mother of the Year (this is sarcasm btw)
LMFAOOOOO @ Junho having regrets I screamed when he called Yeonhee "yeobo" in front of Yuna. Yeonhee has grown on me a lot btw, I'm waiting for her revenge glow up before I add this to my "daily drama FL hall of fame" list. I loved the speech she gave Jaekyung about doing something new as well.
Alexa, play Circles by Soul Coughing because this is the perfect song to describe where we are in the land of The First Man... we're going in circles. Seriously. This episode was a whole lot of nothing. The water scene proved that. You guys remember when Jangmi posted the video of Hwayoung powertripping and got her canceled? Hwayoung, you could do the funniest thing...
Real talk I think everyone in this show forgot they were in a revenge drama except for Youngja ... who is getting her lick back next episode... she's going to bag Dracula... I can get behind this. I for one am also looking forward to Baekho marrying Jangmi because that means Baekho is even more justified in beating some sense into Junho. I honestly thought he was going to punch him today. Btw, when Jangmi and Baekho talked afterwards, and Jangmi asked, "do you think I can't handle it on my own?" I shouted out "you can't!" Jangmi peaked when she got Geumsoon's abusive ex arrested, ever since then it's all been down hill.
Now I wonder if Hongju, Seorin and Junho are going to form some kind of unholy trinity... when she gets back from Boston that is. I wonder if this "plastic surgery" is going to be an excuse to cast someone else in her role? One thing is for sure, the writer has no idea what to do with her character ... so on the bus (well, plane) she goes! Regardless, Sanwol is annoying and it's funny (not really) how she's insecure over the chairman's SIL and deceased wife while simultaneously flirting with a man who's young enough to be her son... while married. Regardless I laughed when Chairman Ma didn't claim her 😭
I found it funny that both Kanghyuk and Hwayoung were orphans but neither of them raised the possibility that Dongseok was adopted...
The writer is extremely fond of using the "eggs in ramyeon" metaphor for a bad relationship, she did it in the Third Marriage... This might be cultural differences talking (it's DEFINITELY cultural differences talking) but ramyeon literally takes 5 minutes to make... you want an egg in your ramyeon, crack that shit open yourself ... Nambong continues to be The Worst!
Let's see what mess Hwayoung and Friends are getting into today...
So Hwayoung managed to remember a blanket from 1995 after seeing the photo for all of 30 seconds. Hwayoung takes another W... That being said the office scenes felt childish. Jangmi powertripping is not entertaining to me. This whole "Hwayoung needs to prove herself to Jangmi" subplot is jarring to me for two reasons: 1. It was established that Hwayoung already worked her way up to CEO, it wasn't a position that was gifted to her ... she earned it by building Dream up... she was always competent when it came to Dream. But hey... 2. Somehow Jangmi has the business management skills needed to be a Team Leader. When it was established that she didn't go to college because Taesook stole her tuition money. But I'm sure there's some Daily Drama Logic™ I'm missing out on, like Jangmi having the ability to learn college level business skills via osmosis
Speaking of Taesook, did the actress playing her get fired from the drama or something? I feel like she hasn't shown up ever since the drama was announced to be extended.... granted she was only really used to promote that hotpot place but I liked her smh
I love how Youngja was wearing her own version of the Princess Diana revenge dress! Nambong has effectively been put on house arrest for the time being ... I can understand why Youngja is playing the long game and not granting him a divorce. I appreciate that she's doing it to play psychological chess with this man and not because she wants to get back with him. It is also confirmed that Nambong is infertile and that was why Baekho and Junho were adopted. Interesting...
Speaking of Baekho and Junho I'm now actively hoping that Baekho swings on Junho the next time he talks about Jangmi like she's something he owns and doesn't have thoughts of her own (the concept of Jangmi thinking... 🤭) . Because as I said yesterday they keep having the same conversations ... it'll probably get worse now that chairman gave his blessing. Baekho needs to also fall back and realize that Junho legitimately views him as an enemy now. Baekho is a lawyer ... he should know how to read people lol
Sukhee apologizes to the chairman. I hope her actress is getting paid a nice salary for this role because I'd low-key be dying inside every time I have to read my lines lol
Preview: a new character (orphanage director? high society friend?) shows up and tells Chairman that Eunhye is still around. Youngja is stepping into her revenge era... Here for it! More of Jangmi powertripping Hwayoung.... But it seems like Hwayoung successfully spikes Jangmi's drink this time around...? And it wasn't shown but Hwayoung will absolutely make moves against Sukhee tomorrow. After all, is it really an episode of The First Man if Hwayoung isn't scheming?
News 
Nambong remains useless btw and I'm surprised he hasn't hit up Hwayoung at all... that being said it was pretty funny when Youngja told him "maybe we can co-author a paper together" I still am the most interested in Youngja's storyline but it's starting to get boring tbh...
