Maybe? Or Jae-In's mom is a rich woman too. But she's abroad.

Possible.

The music was great, but this... wasn't good.

She did nothing wrong... all she did was be a traumatized teenager?

This was Yoon-Hee's season.

Tbh, I didn't care too much for the kids compared to the adults, who are the central characters. But I definitely liked Rona and Jenny.

This was one of my first k-dramas! I still love it to this day!

Oh yes! I wanna find lighter dramas to watch lol but I'm currently watching Teresa! Also pretty good (with a villain protagonist.)

The acting was good in VOTB, mostly. And the FL was grey and actually GOT revenge. You'd love A Secret House! A Place in the Sun has Oh Chang-Seok and Yoon So-Yi. Two actors I enjoy!

Hmm. Yellow Boots (Ice Adonis), Secrets and Lies, Miss Monte-Cristo, Flames of Desire, Queen of Ambition (both aren't dailies), Temptation of Wife (FL turns dark for revenge), Temptation of an Angel (male protagonist, weekly drama with a villain FL), The Promise/Heaven's Promise, and Wife Returns would be perfect for you. Queen of Ambition deals with politics too. Miss Monte-Cristo's FL turns dark towards the end of the drama and is quite grey. Secrets and Lies has a villain protagonist (I'm rewatching it and it's quite enjoyable), Temptation of Wife is a classic (the revenge takes some time to start, but it starts GOING and is ruthless.) Yellow Boots deals with stepsisters, Wife Returns and The Promise have twins as the main plot. Red Shoes has an older protagonist, Min Hee-Kyung (Choi Myung-Gil), as the villain protagonist.

A Bird That Doesn't Sing also has a villain protagonist, It was on tvN too. And Woman of Dignity (mystery, on jtbc.)

I absolutely love Moon Jung-In. One of my favorite villain protagonists in a daily drama (in the past 2-3 years.)

No, the writers changed and a lot of drama happened behind the scenes lol

The budget for cancelled dailies on other channels went to KBS, I see. 😂

I take it back. Gi-Chan's actor is doing a great job here- sometimes you gotta play a villain to prove yourself.

Truly. I liked those channels' dailies. Mainly SBS and tvN.

All cancelled. The latter two had low ratings, while Phoenix 2020 on SBS tanked its reputation with dailies. MBC weekend long dramas were abolished a few years ago by the network itself, I think.

The offices look the same, but the bedrooms seem different. Also, like Cinderella Game & Scandal, there's more outdoor scenes too.

I'm on episode 6, it's starting to grow on me a little bit!

Is it me or are the sets actually kinda different in this daily? I don't really see what people mean...

I'll give it another try, then!

I don't know if I'm gonna continue this, tbh... I don't think I'm a fan, but I'll stick around for another week. If I still don't like it, I'll probably come back when the revenge starts...

I've watched a few. I usually like them. I also recommend SBS dailies, I'm like a loyalist to that channel lol but their daily dramas are hit-and-miss. TvN, on the other hand... AWESOME. Yellow Boots and Glass Mask were awesome 🔥 A Bird That Doesn't Sing was great for my first(?) drama with an evil FL (you heard that right! Temptation of Wife counts too.) I also like jtbc daily dramas for the most part.

The last daily I truly enjoyed was Vengeance of the Bride.

If you want male-led dailies, I recommend A Place in the Sun and A Secret House! I plan to watch the first one (heard it was good) and I liked Secret House. What kind of dailies do you like? I've watched a LOT, maybe I can give some recommendations. And to each their own with their dramas! I liked Snow White's Revenge and Cinderella Game. SWR's ending was bad though...

Oh, I love telenovelas!
