I'm laughing my ass off at "b-b-but the female lead is a bad person :( she's a scammer!" I mean, I guess this *is* k-dramaland. Some of y'all aren't used to any degree of moral complexity or character growth.
Well the good old classic wrong character description of the FL caused this
You mean "I assumed based on absolutely nothing that the FL would be an incomplex perfect little bean of a woman who has never willingly harmed a fly in her life from the get-go and would never grow or change over the course of the drama"? That 'character description'?
i think dahee’s mother isnt her real mother more like a women she work with but she prefer to call hee mother…
She only says that her mother was absentee. I think it's very possible that the story is true AND it IS her real mother, and FL going along with the scheme is her trying to be valuable to her mother in what will eventually be revealed as an endearing yet ill-conceived attempt at keeping her in her life. I think once mum realizes FL doesn't have the guts to go through with a full betrayal of the family she'll turn on FL.
Fl's "sister" was also willing to sleep with the first husband only for the divorce and the alimony. This is telling…
You're old fashioned and judgemental. Choosing to sleep with somebody only has an impact on one's sense of self-respect if you adhere to a gross white bread puritanical BS POV. love that for you
I don't think Sol had zero consideration for her young self. The first time she went back in time, she first thought…
Oh, I don't mean young Sol as in her teenage self. I'm more talking about the 15 years since the accident, without which I'd think she'd be a different person entirely- besides being a little sad that her merch was gone, she didn't seem to react to the fact that her life has been completely different from high school on. Her entire 20's were erased and rewritten and she knows nothing about them. I feel like there should be ramifications of that, besides 'oh, I have the job I wanted now'.
Thought; did Im Sol temporarily get hospitalized in this most recent timeline, AFTER the attack that she was there to survive? Because her grandmother remembered her in a wheelchair, and the attack that her mother mentioned was a year after the attack that she actually experienced?
Also, it's a little messed up how she has zero consideration for the person that she was in this timeline- I'm almost hoping for some 'Time Called You'- like consequences to her taking over her body in timelines that weren't originally hers.
She tried to kill both of them. The eldest-born son, the most likely to inherit, was definitely the most important…
Yeah, that scene of her seeing Eun Sung as a child in the rearview mirror, begging her not to go- she's a terrible person and a terrible mother. Ultimately Eun Sung desperately wanted to be loved because his mother was an absolute dead beat, and he eventually died for it. Not entirely her fault, but she played a big part.
Last episode and a half were kind of dragging, but otherwise this was a good'un. Definitely a well above average melodrama. Villains you hate but understand, leads you root for- the actual events of the plot weren't too new or exciting, but they having already been married was a nice spin. Kim Soo Hyun is very successful at making me feel emotions, and the female lead certainly held her own. Very pleasantly surprised with this one.
She tried to kill both of them. The eldest-born son, the most likely to inherit, was definitely the most important target, but she wanted any heir besides her out of the picture. It's also possible Soo Chul hadn't been born yet?
This drama is unreal. Granted we're only four episodes in, but the pace of things has been so good. Nary a trace…
Her not remembering him hits SO different than the first time you see it. Granted, I rewatched episode 1 immediately after finishing episode 2, but the impact of that phone call is ever bigger each time.
This drama is unreal. Granted we're only four episodes in, but the pace of things has been so good. Nary a trace of filler. And they're SO CUTE. The end of episode four was entirely too much for my lil heart.
A drama that wanted to do way more than it ever actually managed. It feels like the characters had very little to do, particularly Shin Se Kyung's character- ostensibly the lead, but with such little impact on the plot events surrounding her it's laughable. Her acting tends to be one note as is. It just feels like none of the characters had any development, any wants, any needs- does the main chick actually care about the king? Even a little? It's so hard to tell, not only in the acting but in the writing itself. Everything exciting about this drama happens in the first three episodes. If you've seen Memories of the Alhambra and remember how little PSH had to do in that drama, this is a very similar case. This drama just doesn't deliver. Pass.
I've never so immediately rewatched a first episode after finishing the second. These leads are adorable and the plot seems so good already! Time to spend the weeks waiting for Monday and Tuesday until it ends
