Jenna

whoaaa episode 4 was so so good!! Waiting each week for 1-2 episodes is going to be so hard thoughhhh

she literally got off on tormenting him. she knew he had nightmares about his childhood, so she wanted the chandelier to stay and gave him drugs to make him more unhinged/sleepless/dependent on her. She knew he had been drawn to the FL a few times years before (HS graduation and when he saw her buy the trunk) so she dangled her in front of him as a contract wife to show him kind of what he couldn't have and to solidify her place in his life. (to make 100% sure no one could ever replace her) She liked to control men psychologically, even if that meant making them druggies, etc. If you remember the FL told her she knew because she heard a college student killed himself (or tried to?) because he felt it was the only way to get out of the 2FL's grasp... so she's been fucking around with guys like that since she was a teen. Her plan to divorce him was to literally "take away" what he loved most so he would beg/plead/take pills and hope she came back to him so he could function properly... he'd call her tons of times a day and pretty much stalk her. Then it backfired when he became more interested in FL.

you guys are missing the reason when it's super obvious. she wanted to control him even more. see spoiler.

the mystery wasn't very mysterious and the romance wasn't very romantic... it was more about the characters and their trauma and letting go of their baggage (the trunk) so I get why maybe some people didn't enjoy it... it fell short of a full mystery/thriller and short of a classic rainbows/sunshine romance. However, for me, it was brilliant and poignant.

the low rating on this here on MDL is a travesty and I hope it doesn't deter viewers from giving this drama a go

agree! I did binge it but have 0 regrets because I loved everything about it even though I kinda/sorta wanted a character to get knocked off hehe

4 episodes in and LOVING it. Great acting, pacing, and depth of characters/plot. And this isn't my normal genre of choice ^_^

ALSO... how wonderful is it that the FL is seemingly weak/helpless because of her disability but instead of breaking down after the horrible situations she was in... she literally went home, cleaned herself up, pretended like not a damn thing happened, all the while plotting her crazy ass scheme of pretending to be her own kidnapper to get out of her marriage. 👏👏👏👏 this is called "don't underestimate the silent/quiet ones" LOL

seeing the FL tell the ML off in sign language is one of my FAVS. You KNOW he likely understood everything she was saying (I'm betting he took a sign class just for her) but he just stands there dumbly and says "Did you just curse at me?" or something like that?? EPIC!! hehe

I have so many "favorite moments" in the 1st two episodes but I got to say ((SPOILER))

I honestly rarely shop BF sales... really not worth the stress anymore and like you said the stuff is picked over/sold out quickly etc. Lately I just shop sales throughout the year and put stuff back for xmas gifts :-) rather spend my time staying up wayyyy too late to see the next episode right when it airs hahaha

me camped out for an episode drop instead of Black Friday sales 🍿🥤😅😂

you sound like me! going to give this one a go too then :-)

*pulls up a chair to camp out* 🪑🎉

it's been a while since first two episodes left me on edge of my seat and wishing for MOREEEE!! going to enjoy this one!!

not sure why I put this off so long... it's brilliant!

have you watched "The Double" ? or here are some of my favs... 🥰https://kisskh.at/list/W19kJEe3

omggg most anticipated drama for me! diving in tonight and so so excited!!

yes it is a sad ending
