JYJ is already helpful to DE. I think he’ll have more of a presence in the 2nd half.
It’s fine to like or dislike certain characters. JYJ is okay to me. I’m not head over heels for him or dislike him. I like DE interactions with all the character she meets. It’s the little romance stuff I don’t like.

Yeah I prefer if their relationship was strictly platonic. I don’t have a problem with romance. To me, KES isn’t good at writing it. I like the relationship between DE & JYJ - just not in a romantic way KES presents it.
SHK acting her ass off. every line is iconic KEH also surprised me
Yeah, The lines & dialogue on this show is miles better than KES previous work - no offense. I don’t have to suffer through cheesy over exaggerated romances & corny comic relief bromances.
This actually has well written female interactions & relationships. Although the romance elements is pretty meh to me here. Overall I liked what I watched. Probably will be the 1st KES drama I’ll finish. Hopefully part 2 doesn’t disappoint.
So far in 1st season I don't feel LDH is so needed. Maybe it will change in S2
JYJ is needed. The whole point of his character is that he’s part of DE grand plan to revenge. He taught her how to play go. DE realizes that he’ll be on her side. He’s her biggest go piece in the game. Plus, he has access to places DE does not, like the hospital & patient info. JYJ also gave the nurse a job. Which is btw, pretty hard to get in the medical industry. DE needs affluent people on her side with connection, money, and power. JYJ is that person. Not only that, his house is a place DE can go to if everything goes wrong. Like a backup plan. Just like the mother with the middle school kid, the factory colleague-friend, highschool nurse, the old director of SY school & HJ’s fiancé’s mom. DE is the player, they are her chess pieces. DE has already set the game in motion with these people.
My only issue is the odd romance angle KES is putting in the story (which does not work for me). But other than that, he’s not useless or unnecessary folks is trying to make him out to be.
Watched the 1st episode,is a good drama...but I have the same feeling I had when I watched "the moon embracing…
The actors portraying the younger version were really good.
SHK’s acting is fine (I actually like her here more than her previous works). It matches DE’s older self personality wise. As for IJW as the older YJ, it’s watchable, not bad but the actress that played the younger YJ has a cooler charisma onscreen.
For the life of me I can’t understand how some describe the romance aspect as subtle or not being overt here.…
KES is obviously throwing in the romance stuff in there but the genre of the show isnt really a romance (compared to her previous work) so it doesn’t bother me as much (we’ll see what happens in the second half). This drama could have gone without any romance elements altogether. But yeah I totally agree about KES. I personally think she is terrible at writing romances or atleast convincing one’s. It always feels contrived and forced, like she has to include it just for the sake of it lol.
I hope this really is a revenge story that stays true as a revenge story till the very end & won’t cop out. Enough of those moral compass-forgiveness stuff.
I think the husband will take his wife's side no matter how brutal she is. He was tricked by the FL, paternity…
Yep.
Seemed like he had a hunch about YJ before but doesn’t want to open that pandora box of bad things. I mean if word gets out that his wife was a bully, cheater, etc that would impact his image. Just like DE said - she and YJ lives in a diff world. DY also belongs in the same world as YJ. Wealthy affluent family with great jobs & perfect house & public image to uphold. That’s all he knows. He may sympathize with DE but he will most likely choose what’s best for himself.
Finished all 8 Ep & I overall really enjoyed it. It’s completely different from KES’s previous works (which I dislike). Also, the production, from directing & cinematography.
A diff & more nuance approach to a revenge story without silly makjang elements or the main character being a physical fighter-cop/FBI agent. I like that DE is a regular person but is capable & smart-strategic. I like that we get to see DE’s character with depth aside from the trauma & revenge stuff. I adore her friendship with the female characters a lot! I hope DE wins all the way. I’m rooting for her.
My issue with KES’s writing has always been the romance aspect. So I’m glad the romance stuff is not overt in here & leans more as a female lead-centric story and her relationships with people she meets.

This will indeed have romance. Your prayer has been answered lol. Be there on Jan 14! Or be square.
Btw your profile statement is hilarious 😆.
Light hearted fun middle age MCs-romance here we go! ✨

DE wanted MY to get a confession out of YJ that she was the one who killed Sohee.
Why did JYJ searched for it? Probably to look at the body in more detail to get diff autopsy report? It was ruled as suicide but maybe it wasn’t.

I love the FL clothes. She looks great! I’m definitely on board for more romcom with older actors.
His eyes is captivating. 💕✨
It’s a Supernatural mystery thriller.
Excited to see what happens in part 2.
