So we have 6 episodes remaining and 5 days remaining?If they cut the scenes with the “mop heads” out of the…
Lie after Lie is one of my fav dramas and it is really well-acted. The villains are hard to understand and there is an unexpected twist at the end. Watch if you are in the mood for melo. And the FL isn't so much a villainess but rather desperate in a sad way.
SeHoon surprised me as well -- he is showing himself to be a loyal man and as his father put it, very much one-woman…
Because it is live shoots, I always have hope the writer will change tracks when it comes to chemistry-less leads and do a swap. 😂 There have been some dramas where that actually happened. Given the number of twists that keep happening in this one, I don't see a linear romance track even if it is meant to be HaNeul and JungWon in the end.
I confess that I expected more from this episode. We all knew that KB was going to die at some point, so he deserved…
SeHoon surprised me as well -- he is showing himself to be a loyal man and as his father put it, very much one-woman man. It is interesting that his loyalty is essentially being equated with obsession or lack of practically by the other characters. Basically rather than see this as a transactional marriage, he sees it as real. If she didn't reciprocate, then his feelings for her can be seen in a negative light. However, she does feel some for him and it isn't the lack of feelings on her part. So far, he hasn't done anything to control or curtail her or force her to feel anything.
It did crack me up when he asked if she was dying from some terminal disease or having loan sharks or in love with HaNeul - the guy obviously watches daily dramas! 😂
HyeRa is extremely ambitious. If NS prioritizes money above anyone else, she is no different, as she intentionally…
The difference between HyeRa and NaSook is that HyeRa struggles to own her ambition. A part of her wants that image she has of being gentle, regal and elegant. She struggles with being who she really is and there is a lot of fear and anxiety. Hence the constant tears. There seems to be a war within herself.
NaSook on the other hand owns her ambition and sees it as the way of the world. She has no problem with being underhanded or doing any number of questionable things to achieve her goals. The grandma/chef Hong gets more of a reaction from her when it comes to upending her. 😂
KyungChae really has entitlement complex and believes she and her family are free to do as they wish because they are elite. In order for her to really fall, there has to be a birth secret that reveals that she is not so elite and she doesn't get to use and hurt people at will. Please let Manager Gong be her bio-mom!
P.S -- head thug is kind of cute. anyone else think so? 😉
Like others have mentioned, not a fan on HaNeul and frankly he is boring as he does not do anything. SeHoon is surprisingly interesting and his feelings for JungWon seems to be genuine. JungWon isn't that good of an actress or player to fake it and so I am guessing their marriage is far more real than she realizes.
Despite all the lies, he likes her as she is though everyone keeps questioning his feelings as it is supposed to be a transactional marriage. He is a lot more firmer than I expected and he really stood by his wife in the last few episodes.
The question is what he will do when he finds out the truth. Given that he already suspects HyeRa had something to do with his mother's hospitalization, he might end up taking revenge by playing his own games on JungWon as she is HyeRa's daughter.
The big themes of this drama seems to be about identity and how we see ourselves and how that impacts our actions. So what is love when the mask is ripped off? There are multiple relationships impacted but also two marriages -- father and son as well as mother and daughter. Both will have to face the question if they are really loved for who they are. At what point can the lies not be excused and the love cracks?
That moment was unsettling because it exposed the audacity of Manager Gong. Kyung Chae’s question — “what…
If Manager Gong is revealed to be bio-mom, then it fits right in this drama of people switching babies, not raising their own children -- basically a kind of generational curse that is being played out in different lifetimes.
Let's see how the writer plays it out -- like you said, entitlement always hides a secret and so it would be absurd that Manager Gong feels entitled to make life altering decisions as just an employee. As SeonJae noted, no employee is going to be so loyal these days.
KyungChae asked Manager Gong the all important question -- what right did she have to interfere in her life like that? Manager does not answer and instead states that she would do the switch again if she could go back and stands by her call. The writer better answer this riddle because this is plain weird that an employee would dare to make a decision like this and sees no problem with what she did. The only way it would make sense is if Manager Gong is her bio mom and therefore feels entitled to make such a decision.
Min family would have loved it if SR died on birth... Only GC wanted that child to liveThere are 2 scenarios:…
So far we haven't seen Manager Gong receive any benefits and she even seemed homeless when Lucia tried to kick her out. Without any gain, there seems to no reason for this devotion which is way over the top. So expecting a last minute birth secret to pop up.
As a long-time family employee, she could have had a major hand in raising GyungChae and thought of her as her…
Yea, the lack of boundaries seems very strange even for a long-time employee. If GyungChae is herself illegitimate, then it would be a fitting punishment. She despises SooJung and everyone else as beneath her. So if she isn't a Min, the fall from grace would be more dramatic.
More clues that GyungChae is most likely Manager Gong's daughter. She did not switch babies out of fear that her employer will do her harm but rather that GyungChae would be emotionally devastated. Why would she care what happens to GyungChae if she was just an employee?
Manager Gong's meltdown felt way over the top. However, there is apparently something called localized amnesia where people can dissociate and forget an event or series of events. So maybe that is what the writer intended though it is hard to believe. More likely, she just pretended long enough that the lie became real to her.
i already spent lot of time watching this drama and i am expecting to see extreme and very sad loses for some…
Fingers crossed. I am still concerned that the writer will end up forgiving Seri and writing it off as part of her rebellious phase (as Stella put it). There has to be accountability and consequences.
Yea, I am also thinking the same -- that would be the ultimate punishment. Her arrogance is tied to being a Min and thinking she is entitled to walk all over people and use them. However, if she isn't a Min, then everyone else has a right to walk over her -- according to her stupid logic. So that would be such a painful lesson to learn and satisfactory for us viewers.
You know what I would love -- if it turns out that Seri is an orphan or foundling. Basically she belongs neither…
Theory: Gyeongchae's baby died in childbirth. Manager Gong freaked out and didn't know what to do. She tried taking baby to some clinic but they said it was too late. There, she found a foundling and instead of telling anyone, took it back to the vacation home and gave to GyeongChae.
Something along those lines. Remember that Gyeongchae didn't meet Seri till she was 5 or 6. So she would have not known what the original baby looked like.
