You took the words from me.

The second male lead is so lovely I wonder how they'll resolve that she should be with the 1ML? Will he (a) finally align himself with his bent copper dad (b) reject her out of noble idiocy - his father's role in her father's death or (c) become possessed by the evil spirit who fancied her in Goreyo?

He played a small, but memorable part in (Because) this is my first life, one of my favourites.

I love how complex and nuanced the storyline is - and the acting, of course. Like the Mi-ran/Eun-hee thing. Kdramas are often so black and white - with sweet, humble 'goodies' and black as pitch 'baddies' but this is more about ordinary, but interesting, flawed humans.

OK, so she does. Besides, Psycho-Mummy makes her look relatively benign.

I loved the whole thing, including the ending. It would have been a bullshit contrivance/the worst sort of fanservice only to have Hee Do together with Yi jin at the end when we knew, from her daughter's name, that wasn't the case.

Extreme obnoxiousness is not a 'mental illness'. Neither is extreme vanity. Does the FL get any better after E4?

One of the things I like about the cute policeman/crush is that he's not, so far, following that slavishly Confucian thing of always - or ever - doing what Daddy says.

Was he the vet in You Are My Spring?

I was asked to provide 'proof' for a tag I added to a story when the subject of the tag was widely and openly discussed. In the meantime the 'original' tags and the often wildly inaccurate pidgin summaries seem to arrive out of of the ether with no burden of proof required.

The side characters are the best bits, though.

The two leads are the weak links in this - everything else is great. I'm totally watching for the side stories, supporting characters and - sometimes quite meta - cameos; I like the way how the FMIYM couple, for example, were their characters, rather than the actors.

One of the dullest and most pointless kdramas I've ever seen. The main characters were unlikeable, the 'romance' insipid and unconvincing, the tropes relentless and the acting banal.

Probably unprocessed alcohol from having a session the night before. If she's necking it at breakfast time . . .

I like that they have few scenes together, to be honest. All the other characters are more interesting and have more chemistry. If it was just '4 expressions' woman and the boy I'd have given up by now.

I agree with you. No chemistry. And bullshit reasons for their past 'trauma'. For example, he 'betrayed' her by having the temerity to date someone even though she fancied him (but hadn't said anything and they weren't together). Just no.

Hemlock? Hemlock Water Dropwort?

Ignore that. it's become clear that it's 1636 - they refer to the founding of the Qing empire.
