Edit: there are a few parts here and there that are not subbed but they are not many and don’t even make an entire episode, most of it is subbed.

About the drama, it is exactly what it says it is. She is a mistress, but not one of those annoying greedy ones you usually see in most lakorns. She was forced into being one and is never truly happy while she has to play that role. Definitely not a romantic drama, although the romance is there, it is an "impossible" romance for pretty much the entire drama, so this is not an easy watch, the female lead has a very sad life so dont watch this thinking it is your typical lakorn. The main focus of this drama is showing the life of a mistress and what we can learn from it. It is not the kind of drama I would be able to watch a second time, I just feel too bad for the female lead...mostly because I know there are a lot of women going through a similar situation. :(

I have no idea if I will watch this one, but for those who want to watch it - it is fully subbed on
YouTube. Search for the channel GMM25Thailand and the name of the playlist is THE MISTRESS.

Btw, is it just me or did they make Song so secondary that if I remember correctly there was not even a kiss between her and Ard, while he kissed and had skinship several times with Neung?? I guess that is why she was named Song...she always came second. Lol

This was mostly the story of Neung and Song just happened to be her twin sister. It is one thing to be kind and innocent, it is another to make a character so boring that no wonder they decided to make Neung take most of the screen time. Nothing much happened to Song, be it character development or romance. And Sarn, I knew what was coming because he was naive and wanted to rebel against everyone, mostly his father, but never imagined he would be so dumb to fall for it so fast and easy. The first episodes were interesting but I had it on hold since ep 5 for quite some time and had to skip a lot to be able to finish it. Aside from the excellent job the main actress did playing 2 completely different characters, there is not much that I liked about this one.

Yeah, I guess that was why so many people were angry at the ending. They expected justice to be served and it wasn’t really. But in real life that happens all the time so I understand what the writers were trying to do there.

I actually finished it but thought that after episode 20 or so it went down a cliff. In my head I want to believe the male lead is alive and that the female lead did not imagine it, but I was still angry at all the unnecessary deaths. They legit killed almost every character that built the plot for no reason at all. I think chinese writers of historical dramas must have a thing for tragic endings. Sigh - . -

They probably just updated the subs cause before it said (machine translation) next to English on the languages menu and the title of the drama was Assassinator Girlfriend lol... and now it is grammatically correct and matches the title here on MDL - My Assassin Girlfriend. Thank you for letting me know. :)

What I think is weird is that she only got 4 years. She ordered someone’s murder, twice. Covered another murder. Did a bunch of corrupt things and got 4 years. My guess is that they could not prove most of her crimes for lack of evidence...or she used her connections to reduce her time or clear her charges and that was why she got out so early. I guess we will never know and the writers probably intended it that way.

Yeah, me neither. :(

It’s probably because the story is well written and the acting is good but it is definitely not for everyone. The rating is probably from people who like to watch tragedies and melodramas. It is not that I don’t like tragedies or melodramas, but this one was just too much for me. The female lead was too pitiful and the story too painful to watch.

This portrays the society we, unfortunately, live in. Hopefully people who watched this will think twice before they act. When you don’t think about the consequences of your decisions, be it deciding to go somewhere or be with someone or making judgements and sharing things without knowing what really happened, you could easily become a victim or play a role in ruining someone else’s life.

Before you share something about someone try imagining yourself in that person’s situation. If it was you in that picture or video, would you be ok with people sharing it? If the answer is no, then don’t do it.

The story itself was not interesting for me and I skipped a lot of things, but it did transmit some important lessons so it was not all bad.

I am sorry to disagree but if you have no problem destroying other people’s lives and ordering murders for the sake of you beliefs then you are yes, an extremely selfish person. Her character was well played, yes, but she was never likeable much less selfless. She admitted to everything 1 - because of her beliefs like you said and 2 - because she knew she had no way out and admitting to her crimes would reduce her sentence. Nothing she did was ever for anyone other than herself. She wanted to be on top (no pun intended) of everyone else and be able to control things since previously she could never feel that powerful for being a woman in the law system. She even bit the hand that fed her by attempting to murder Mo Wang Pyo once and succeeding at the second attempt. Terrorists also kill people because of their beliefs, but that does not make their actions acceptable. Ms. Han will never be a hero or a character whose actions were justifiable. The actress nailed the character and it was interesting to watch but the ending failed us viewers. With the kinds of crimes she committed she should not be allowed to get out of jail only after 4 years when an innocent person spent 15 years there, and much less given any power by still having 4 individuals show loyalty to her. If anything that end showed how in real life sometimes the villains still win or get away easily.

Barely any romance, it was even removed from the genres here on MDL. In the last episodes there is some development and a few kisses but before that the main leads were more like comrades that fought together for the same objective - to reveal the truth about the murder.

The female lead was the highlight of this drama. There were also other characters I enjoyed seeing on screen, like Wan Soo. The plot itself is what makes me feel confused. At times it felt very boring and frustrating to watch and at other times there were completely unexpected secrets being revealed. For me the ones I could never guess although I saw some hints here and there were Wan Joon’s secret and Seok Hee’s real origin. Wan Soo’s secret I antecipated but was still in denial because I liked his character so much. The ending, after the bloopers, was unrealistic to me. Who has that kind of loyalty for someone? It felt like the writers wanted to create some mystery and that was the only reason that scene was added.

Oh well, overall it was not a bad drama. Wish we had more female leads like Seok Hee.

I explained it in my first comment.

Happy? Yes. Satisfying? No. She ends up with the male lead, Qi Jing Hao.

No problem, I do the same, I check the comments without spoiling it too much just to check people’s reactions to it. This one was too much even for a Chinese drama. They did not let the female lead have love or biological children, she was once pregnant but they made her lose the baby and at the end the most happy she could be was being alone raising someone else’s child. What a sad life she had.

The focus of the drama just wasnt what I wanted. It mostly focused on the schemes of the second female lead and at times she had more screen time than the female lead. There just wasnt enough of the main leads together. I wanted to see a lot more of them. The male lead was such an interesting character but he could not shine with this plot, what a shame.

Yeah, that’s what I thought. I have seen a lot of people commenting that they have sent the request a long time ago and it has not been accepted yet. T T

Do you know what happened to this one? I can only find the teaser. Did she end up not subbing it, cause its not on the completed projects nor the future projects.
