Ji Eun has me going like get over yourself. Stop trying to manipulate everyone into going along with your plans. You can't always have it your way. Life isn't McDonald's.
Then there's Jin Hee pettily trying to maintain and defend an image of prosperity and wealth for her entire family that simply does not exist.
I'm excited for the outcomes of the reveal, but something tells me this game of charades is going to draw out all their cards.
As expected from a daily drama; a makjang at its finest. A story of standing up 8 times even if you fall down 7 times indeed. Ha Nee is overbearingly prideful like her suspected mother.
Fortunately, the side-cast have entertaining stories. Well, the younger ones at least.
This series promised resolutions and fun, but what I got instead was relationships dragging on and never going anywhere. The director's choice to keep up the charades of Mo and Pop at an awkward stage of neither breaking up nor dating really shows the direction this series is heading. I don't expect to see a satisfying resolution to any of these characters' situations in the sequel.
If anyone hasn't noticed yet, this series takes common tropes and plays with them. What you assume will happen, usually does not. Oat settled the bet long before it would become an issue. He paid off the penalty within two episodes, there is nothing to resent. He took the initiative to stop betting immediately. As expected, Oat did not take advantage of Pop.
On the other hand, Pree and Rambo's relationship has been toxic since their second episode. I really can't see everyone's attraction to them as a couple, even with the actors' insta-lives that garnered attention to it. For a couple that was going to get married, their communication is really poor. I think they are going to stay together, but continue to make terrible decisions as much I as I want it to end. A dramatic comedy.
Ji Ho, unexpectedly, really is crazy. Rather than reveal secrets that would have strengthened their relationship, she cancelled the contract and distanced herself from him in an attempt to get a reaction out of him knowing fully well that he is emotionally restricted by his oath to the mother and desire to put her happiness first. She laid out a grand maze, expecting a grand confession, but never bothered to plant a seed of hope, a simple confession. Se Hee was constantly bothered that her reactions to his skinship may have been out of duty. They were both to blame, but she should have simply placed a foot forward knowing his personality.
She played a game of 썸 against someone who was emotionally suppressed and in the end, simply appeared and acted as if there was nothing to apologize for. As if everything had gone according to plan in her mind and the ends justified the means.
They had the best communication in the beginning and it quickly went sour towards the end.
The rest of the story was generally very relateable, though I was annoyed at her placing her writing career beneath marriage, hardly attempting to chase other writing career paths in the meantime.
how are you going to spin that into prostitution?? These antics are way too unrealistic. This series really is What the Duck. I can't believe its based on a true story.
Only watching for Pop and Oat at this point, at least that portion is improving
I like that Pop isn't giving in for now, it's going to be heart-wrenching to see him take out more loans pay Oat's debt knowing that Oak is just going to gamble again or not pay it back. Its bad enough with the low pay and taking care of family issues.
I didn't understand the logic behind Rambo or Pree wanting to introduce their father, while only shortly after showing that they were keeping it in the closet. Saying it so comfortably would've implied they were already open about it and ready to announce the engagement. Wondering what the backstory of that is
It has all the qualities that make up a makjang with a legitimate reason (that being the trauma caused someone's lasting scar of d.i.d). However, the plot is still too melodramatic, with the two almost being siblings, the older "twin" having a crush on the other, and the re-occurring "you are disposable" attitudes of the antagonists.
Very unrealistic portrayals of psychiatrists and d.i.d , but it still has some entertaining elements. The rooftop scene with the teenage alter was beautifully done
