They do this all the time in daily dramas, how is it any different here? Lol but I agree though.
Even in other revenge dramas they do this. Makeover and a glow-up thanks to a benefactor. INTERNATIONAL revenge drama trope.
But usually for dailies, it's more of a budget issue than a casting issue lol I've seen body swaps and plastic surgery (in the case of Temptation of an Angel, where the protagonist was recast- but it made sense in the plot!)
I've also seen this "twin" trope used in another drama, I think it was Queen of Ambition. Wife Returns has twin FLs where the cold-hearted one takes the place of the good twin FL who got killed, for revenge. Unsubbed but pretty good so far.
When I watched this I think in my opinion is that the FL is a miscast like she don't look suitable in this drama…
She is 41 😠plenty of actresses play FL roles and they're older than that... Choi Myung-Gil is her 60s and still getting lead roles! Also, I think JSY looks pretty good for a 41 year old.
Ms. Homeless' reaction to losing her money and not even caring about what happened to DY's family is sadly very realistic, there are people in the world who practically worship money and it's so sad. I knew GC was gonna die, I feel like SR will too. They made GC a complex character... the actor killed it going from "complete villain" to "somewhat-complicated villain". He's not just a cartoon villain, which is what I like. I do think he needs to let JI go, though. As for JI... Ham Eun-Jung is gorgeous. And JI is a lovely, beautiful person, so I'm not surprised that we have a love square here lol my vote? I ship her with Tae-Ho. (Theo?) I really don't see chem between her and DY. I really wanna know what happened to Catherine, though. Very curious. Still love this daily... I hope it ends well.
Reminds me of red shoes. Hoping it's doesn't dissapoint like the former one
A little bit of Witch's Game and Apgujeong Midnight Sun too. A dash of Unknown Woman and Snow White's Revenge. For Red Shoes, if you watch it through the POV of Min Hee-Kyung... you'll enjoy it more lol she's meant to be the protagonist, after all.
Temptation of Wife and The Promise (which had great revenge) for me! Two of the greatest revenge daily dramas…
Upon my rewatch, you're right... then again, some MLs/2nd MLs or evil MLs are like this in daily dramas. It's ridiculous. And I'd also say that the ending could've been a bit better too.
Not all dailies have non-chemistry leads. It's just that the acting is a lot different (and acting, I feel like,…
I never saw this as a "romance-first" drama. So many revenge dramas in general get ruined by romance. I'd watch a melodrama for that instead. The biggest example was Miss Mermaid where the drama was ruined COMPLETELY once the FL & ML got married.
