I think the poly sister is going to bring up her kid without a father and everyone is going to band together to help her raise the child the way Hae-yeong's mom helped so many foster children. Let's see if I'm right.
So, what’s the big deal of him not telling her he was fostered by her mom? Would she not remember? A little…
I think the reason Ji Uk hid being a foster from Hae-yeong is because her mother wasn't supposed to take in any more foster kids after her father was killed but she took in Ji UK because he had no other place to go. He probably promised HY's mother that he wouldn't let anyone know he was her foster and as we've see he's paranoid about breaking promises to parents.
Can someone who's neutral let me know if the main leads have chemistry? I'm not talking about their characters,…
Yes I think they have chemistry but not as much as some other couples. Don't expect what you saw in Lovely Runner. I think their best moments are when they're bickering with each other. She has loud yang energy and he has chill yin energy. If you're into that dynamic you'll enjoy it.
I felt very differently. I kept getting annoyed with the ML deciding, over and over again, to hide critically…
It occurred to me that Ji UK and Gyu Yun have a similar flaw which is giving in too much to parents/grandparents. Ji UK probably promised Hae-yeong's mother he wouldn't tell her he was a foster because she took him in after her husband was murdered by Ja-yeon's father. I still think his behavior overall is way better than his hyung's and he's more mature too.
34-year-old men with enormous power can't blame mommy for their bad behavior. Bok Gyu-hyun is responsible for everything he's done and he should be working his ass off to make it right but instead he's whining as if he's the victim. Feh. That's why Hae-yeong telling him off was so gratifying. I think the only reason BGH is at all tolerable is because the actor is incredibly charming. But he's written as a giant man-baby. This is my only major complaint with this drama.
The scene where she comforted him on the bed and said she felt sorry because she didn't know what he was going through and wasn't able to help him. I don't know what people expect from her.
read a comment here saying this show is not for conservatives, I've watched 1 ep, and I liked it but does it get…
There's a character who's in an unusual relationship (being deliberately vague here to not to spoil) that may or may not upset you depending on how sensitive you are about it. There's nothing explicit though.
So something that has really bothered me is that the whole point of a forced marriage trope is that strangers/friends…
The forced marriage trope is about to get very important now that Gyu-hyun knows Ji Uk is his brother and that the Chairman has said he wants Hae-young involved in the succession battle because she has more hunger to climb the ladder than either of his sons. Ji Uk and Hae-young had to be married to move on to this part of the story. No it's not the usual way this trope plays out but that's been true several times in this story.
Someone on Reddit has this theory and I think it's a good one: ------ After rewatching Ep. 8, my going theory for Ji-Uk's connection with Hae-Yeong's mum is:
someone (maybe Ja-Yeon's father, or someone else connected to the foster kids) killed Hae-Yeong's dad, leading to the erstwhile end of her foster home. Hae-Yeong distanced herself from her mum, but then mum unbeknownst to Hae-Yeong started fostering (a) kid(s) again after her husband's death -- and took in Ji-Uk, keeping it secret from anyone else, with him being her closest confidant until she started showing symptoms of dementia and checked herself in. That'd explain how Hae-Yeong (or any of the other sisters) don't know about Ji-Uk, but also his close connection to her mum, and also Ja-Yeon's very real trauma and visceral fear. I'm clearly thinking about this too much (but then again, deducing from very limited bits of evidence is pretty much my job) 😂
