Hadeer

So here’s my take:

The little girl is most likely Se Kyung, her vegetable sister. It’s either her who bullied her sister as a child OR their biological mother did; either way, it was too horrific for her so that her memories had been erased, her father tried to fabricate false memories for her to replace the forgotten ones by showing her the photo album, and the stepmother knows about their previous abuse and is in on the hiding game with the father.

I hope I’m not right. xD

I hate it when dramas like this one start out nice and funny and then all the comedy is lost towards the end because of the inversely proportionate increase in melodrama, ughhhhh. I wish one of them would actually keep up the comedy till the very end, but apparently I’d be asking too much. Hopefully we’re not disappointed in the remaining episodes of this drama.

I know right. Ever since Time, I don’t even bat an eye in surprise at weird turns like that anymore.

I’d say give it at least 5 or 6 more episodes before that could happen since the drama will probably continue till the 24th. Till then, let’s enjoy watching Sunny’s fury unravel and all the plotting within the Imperial family unfold nicely.

Episodes 7 & 8 made it so worth the frustration of watching the messy start of this drama lololol. My only regret is that Sunny didn’t slap Min Yu Ra some more and missed the golden chance of spitting in the Emperor’s face. And honestly, Na Wang Shik so deserved getting slapped by her. Vengeful Sunny is my favorite, lol.

Well, after all the cheesy mess the drama was up until Sunny discovers Hyuk’s cheating has been cleared, the drama is heating up much better now with Sunny becoming fierce and intent on putting up a fight. Gotta say, it was worth watching that messy start of the drama, lol.

Thanks to this drama, along with Titanic and Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile, I now associate cruises with death and tragedy, so eerie and ominous. Probably never gonna go on one. >.<

Even though I knew what was coming and thought that I could steel myself for the tragedy, it still caught me off guard and I slipped and fell for the story. I thought it was expected how things were going to pan out, but in fact some of the developments were NOT expected for me at all. I couldn’t help crying (I’m such a wimp when it comes to tragedies and yet I can NEVER stop myself from watching those because they’re always so great) towards the end of the drama, and I’d say that was because it broke my heart that they made the conscious decision to end their lives much earlier on than I expected. And then they tried to live a few days of bliss, and not sure about whether they actually got over the heavy weight of what they already intended to do and enjoyed themselves, but for me as a viewer it was pure torture to watch them laughing and being happy together—or forcing themselves to—while knowing how this was gonna end.

No, this drama is not for the faint-hearted (unless you’re stupid like me, of course, and still watch it despite knowing you’re making a mistake and will pay for this with a bloody heart), but the acting, cinematography, effects, props, and music make it a very memorable watch, just memorable enough to be worth the emotional pain.

Honestly, that scene was the only where he actually showed some raw human emotion throughout the entire work. If only he could act like that more instead of always putting on that stoic expression of his where I’m not sure if he’s blank-faced or is a little smiley.

Honestly, the actor looks much more evil than the lame, cliche animation of him.

I love how they keep playing tracks from other dramas/shows/movies LOLOLOL. So far I recognized tracks from Cumberbatch's Sherlock (that was hilarious XD) and Jung Kyung Ho's drama Beating Again LOL. Also read that there was one from Pirates of the Carribbean loooool.

Also, I wish a proper site would actually sub this. It must be hard as it is for fans to sub them (the poor grammar of the subs confuses me and I end up getting only the gist of the dialogue, even sometimes not at all T.T).

So in the webtoon, Roo Da ends up with Joon Ho? :o

I'm loving his character development. The transition from being an uncaring, control freak into a person who starts to learn about others' emotions and starting to care little by little, much like a baby who's starting to learn a new skill and being awed by it (like when he got surprised at the realization that he liked Roo Da and cared for her more than his own life aaah!!!) is gradual yet smooth and well done.

Ah, so Baek Jin Sang will probably say good things about his company in reference to the HR manager's promise on the recorder and the media will praise the company for that, forcing them to actually promote the contract workers to permanent employees. That would be a nice twist.

Hahaha, oh God, even though I liked that intense sword fight scene, I couldn't help but burst out laughing when those animated caricatures flashed in between. A huge mess it may be, even hard to like it surely can be, but it's most certainly full of surprises, and some of those can be hilarious and hard to be taken seriously. XD

Oh and that hijabi holding the champagne flute at the international press conference bwahahaha!!! But then again is there anything about this drama that is remotely realistic? XD

What a thrilling watch! This had some of the greatest characters and cast I've had the pleasure to watch in a Kdrama. And oh my God, those AMAZING background music tracks!!! I couldn't have enough listening to them through all the intense scenes, and I just wish they release them so that I could just listen to them one more time, aaah!!

Also, I love your gif profile pic hahaha. Makes me want to rewatch Chief Kim, that gem.

Yessssss, 50/50, lol! I can't even guess whom she'll end up being with, and to top it off, I didn't read the webtoon!!

Aaaah thanks for clarifying!

One more question! I actually dropped Innocent Man around episode 14, but since you mentioned it, does one of the main characters die at the end? Is it Song Joong Ki’s character?

Haha, don't we all!! Most of us think it's a mess, and yet it's just very interesting to watch.

I'm sorry, but will you please explain to me what "makjang" means? I'm a bit dim to get it lol.
