What about France Oh? 😂

Lucinda or Heather would've worked better. Lucia is pretty, but the pronunciations? ATROCIOUS! 😭

You might not wanna watch Death Note... or Code Geass... or Overlord, or Attack On Titan. Or Breaking Bad. Ever lol

The English translation on NamuWiki says "Rusia"... funniest shit ever 😂

No, that's Two Wives. Different plot. Wife Returns deals with twins.

Nope. It's also very hard to find online- even on YouTube. But I managed to find a site where all the episodes are posted.

I couldn't really find it anywhere online (it's SUPER hard to find on YouTube as well), so I'll DM you where I found it! I love Yoon Se-Ah, she's so fun to watch! And she kills it in this daily (it came out in 2009, so some scenes show its age lol.) Regardless, I love it.

Wife Returns/아내가 돌아옵니다. I'm loving it so far.

There's no subs, but I PROMISE it's worth it! (This is how I wanted The Promise to go too lol, I was disappointed at first, but eventually it was worth my time.)

The basic plot is that there's twins: Jung Yu-Hee and Jung Yu-Kyung. (Both played by Kang Seong-Yeon, she does a stellar job from what I've seen so far.) They're separated when Yu-Kyung gets adopted and goes to the US (since she has a heart disease.) Yu-Hee stays in Korea, marries Yoon Sang-Woo (ML... ish?), and goes through a lot with her child because of the evil MIL. Several other characters are intertwined... but no spoilers.
This was Lee Chae-Young's breakout hit and it's my first time seeing Yoon Se-Ah play a villain. She's doing an awesome job. The 2nd and 3rd MLs are a bit different too. Even the 3rd FL (Min Seo-Hyun, played by Yoon Se-Ah) is shockingly different with her character arc. Anyways, Yu-Hee disappears and dies, right? Yu-Kyung comes back to Korea, finds out what happened to Yu-Hee, and then decides to take her place for revenge on the villains. Cue corporate drama, love polygons, revenge, and Yu-Kyung playing everyone like they're pawns on a damn chessboard. Legendary.

I HIGHLY recommend this daily drama. 116 episodes, I'm halfway through it... the twists get better and better. And Yu-Kyung is definitely a grey character/FL... and kinda scary lol

Oh! That sounds awesome!

Yes! I love when the comic relief in a drama is actually funny (which is very rare. It usually feels bizarre and cringy.)

Ha Yoon-Chul too, this show has a lot of Penthouse vibes- wait, so he IS the father?

I'm really excited to rewatch Game of Witches! And I loved Jang Seo-Hee as the FL, once again... I got to predict that she wanted revenge on the evil old chairwoman lol

Exactly! Queen's House definitely gives off some Temptation of Wife vibes (at the moment, I'm obsessed with Wife Returns where there's 2 FLs, both twins. The good twin dies because of the villains, and the rich & cold twin takes her place to get revenge on the villains. And she is RUTHLESS.)

All that screeching she did is why the actress doesn't do daily dramas anymore 😭 "MIN SO-HEEEEEE!!!! YAAAAAA!"

Completely agree with this. Also, are you a teacher by any chance?

Soo-Jung, Ja-Kyung, and Ja-Kyung's parents are some of my faves! I always loved Stella, and I'm so in love with Lucia now lol
At least Seri isn't greedy like the rest of the Mins. She's trying to get her money and get out. I respect it. 😂

I'm getting Kang Ji-Ho vibes from Sun-Jae right now.

Same! Also is your profile picture the legendary, one and only, makjang villainess ICON SHIN AERI?!

Yes I do!

The actress has played a lot of villains too... poor lady has typecast syndrome. 😂

I actually (genuinely) don't think that Seri and Jae-In are related- I feel like that'd be the one thing that ruins the drama lol. SR just seems VERY envious of Jae-In. Just an annoying, jealous, wicked 계집! (Bitch!) Period. I don't think it's complex when the writing's been on the wall... BUT if there's a twist somehow and it was foreshadowed this whole time, I wouldn't be opposed... I guess. 👀 I just don't want Jae-In related to that witch, because like I said, it'd ruin the drama. For me, at least. AND that would mean a redemption for Seri (ABSOLUTELY NOT. I will lose my damn mind.) Not a single villain here (maybe Ja-Young, lol there's one here and one in AWWSTS) deserves redemption to me. And I don't want a tragic sob story for Seri at the end either.

I 100% agree on the birth secret part, this is a trope (in ALL k-dramas, not just dailies) that irks my soul!

I think Miss Monte-Cristo and Pink Lipstick are also similar, same with The Women's Room.

I'm wondering if I should pick this drama up... has it genuinely improved?

Kyung-Chae struggling with the e-commerce business is perfect karma... I wonder what Lucia's next moves will be... could she become the new investor? Or will Stella invest in Minkang and have Lucia appointed as an executive instead?

Same here. I see I'm not the only one with this issue, then lol

Ahh, this is on me! I can't read tones at all! 😅 But yes, I agree, there should've been more to Lucia's transformation.

And become the wicked stepmother? I hope so. Maybe she'll become the new CEO or a vice chairwoman...
