Nope, I definitely will, soon, though. Also, Kim Hee-Ae as the FL? This is gonna be good! 👀

They are definitely relying on shock value a bit for me. But if this is about the FL being gay, it's not the main focus... we've seen the ML blackmail and make dirty deals with elites to gain more power, the ML having a spy stalk his wife (somehow no one cares about that, I wonder why lmao), sexual exploitation & trafficking in the entertainment industry, manipulation, contract murder, PR /media narratives & spin, elites messing with people's lives like it's a board game... all of these do happen in real life. Most of them, anyway.

Totally understandable. I can't see where any of this is heading... I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, plot-wise. I will say that the performances are absolutely incredible, though.

Hoping and PRAYING for the best at this point... 😭 Eun-Jung, don't let me down!

It's a KSH cult meeting in these replies... good Lord.

You're so poetic, I love it.

Hmmm... 🤔 alternatively, Dan-Hee could've gone to the US and stayed there for a while. She would've been safe there, too.

She's the 2nd FL, but not the protagonist. (If I'm correct.)

That's what I wanna know...

How is Sang-Ah annoying? 🤔 When Yang-Mi's clown ass literally exists lol, she's the most irritating to me!

Jun-Ho is already confirmed as Hwa-Young's kid lol

I would've rather had a "Wife Returns" situation where Seo-Rin took revenge for Jang-Mi. I like Hwa-Young the most, but Seo-Rin too... I want her to wake up soon. I actually expected Suk-Hee to die but I guess not... Jang-Mi should've grown as a character by this point. Very disappointed.

I suppose so... viewing Hwa-Young as the protagonist can only take me so far! 😂

My theory is the writers are trying to make the script as unpredictable as possible. Making it seem like things are coasting along smoothly, then... plot twist! Hwa-Young gets released or someone unexpected shows up! And the revenge is back on.

How does the FL look like a policewoman? I'm confused? Also, her tech/company got stolen, I'd be pissed too (even if she did get scammed/fooled into giving it up.)

Tae-Seop is still very much the protagonist which is what's confusing to me... I mean, how much further does his arc need to be developed? 😭 We saw his past and everything, we know what his goals are, we're familiar with him as a character, he's being developed well enough, he's usually the first one we see in an episode... so I'm confused?

There have been plenty of k-dramas I can think of with a morally grey and/or villainous cast of characters, old & new. Usually referred to as a "picaresque" drama. Some examples:

Penthouse
Escape of the Seven
Return
The World of the Married
A Graceful Liar
Karma (I think?)
Flames of Desire
Empress Ki (shout out to the people who recommended me this drama, btw)
Dear X
Made In Korea
Reflection Of You
Empire of Gold/Golden Empire
Game of Witches/Witch's Game
Secrets and Lies (except for the 2nd ML & 2nd FL, the FL here was a villain)
Graceful Friends
Battle for Happiness (except for the heroine)
Sponsor
Chief of Staff
Squid Game (might be the best example of this, lol)
First Lady
Artificial City
Queen's House

And more...

That's a very good question! I feel like part of her did love Ji-Su, but what makes you think that Sang-Ah's relationship with her was an obsession? 🤔

Yeah, I'm confused because they made it seem like he'd play a main role. Maybe he'll be the one to take down Yang-Mi?

Yes, the scene looked pretty real to me. I have yet to fully watch episode 8, but that other lady DID look like Jung-Won. It damn sure wasn't Ji-Su.

Interesting points. Part of me thinks they aren't psyching the viewers this time...
