I agree with both. ML's mother is terrifying!

100% agree!

I wonder if the FL will become darker too (I'm already betting that she will, according to a recap she basically manipulated Chairwoman Gong into making her stay as the fake Young-Chae.)

Completely agree.

In The Promise, the FL ended up with the 2nd ML (Hwi-Kyung, I think?), same with Temptation of Wife (Min Gun-Woo, couldn't stand him.) Both MLs there were evil.

OR in some cases the ML becomes 2nd ML or vice versa. But yes, Ha-Neul is the ML.

I feel like they gave the 2nd ML much more screen time than Ha-Neul, but I could be wrong. I feel like his unrequited love thing is somewhat annoying and (quite) boring.

Lee Seung-Yeon is low-key terrifying as a wicked mom. I don't blame JW lmao

Sometimes in k-dramas, the FLs end up with the second ML (usually if the ML is evil or dead.)

And somehow someone said she was the best character LMFAOOOO she's legitimately annoying. But I DO get where she's coming from. Her mom *has* prioritized politics/her ambitions over her. She feels alone. Let's not have a repeat of Bae Rona where people were intentionally not trying to understand her character and just blindly hated her. It's 2025. Try understanding teenagers better.

Also, that flashback absolutely didn't look like the assistant was passed out lmao but maybe I need to watch more. Min-Chul's behavior is just making matters worse.

The way Soo-Yeon is being treated is slightly unfair, yes, but the daughter's feelings are VALID.

Ju Ha-Neul = ML
Jin Se-Hun = 2nd ML

I prefer Se-Hun, personally!

I'm glad I dropped it because I really could NOT handle the stupidity anymore 😭 I spent too long making excuses for it

I agree with that part.

The 2nd ML is Jin Se-Hun, the ML is the "brother".

You're welcome. And Soo-Ah is now Jung-Won.

She asks where the line is, really. Then falls BEFORE she misses it! 😂

We don't actually know if the chairman did it yet... it could've been the loan shark Kong too. I did say he was suspicious, I gotta watch this week's episodes to know more.

The mom did change her name. It was Young-Soon, now it's Hye-Ra.

Good theory!

Penthouse would've possibly worked as a weekend drama, but not a daily drama! (Some of the recent ones have tried to adapt it, though.)

Daily dramas are the Korean version of soap operas, get into them if you want to. BUT be warned: they will STRESS YOU OUT! 😭

Agreed!
