Lateeee reply (lol), but I rewatched a bit and Mi-Ran was highkey calculative, even as a kid.

Orphanges are a hit-and-miss. Just like foster care here in the US! Lol

Okay, the title of the drama actually makes sense now. I don't think the OZ organization is needed, but sure! Let's just get to the end already...

There have been far worse daily dramas I've watched (sadly.) 😭

I'm at a point where I am... puzzled, befuddled, and utterly lost. I genuinely don't get the point of the OZ organization but sure. Whatever I guess? It'll all make sense eventually. I hope. I've seen crazier makjang dramas.

Thank you! I think Empress Ki counts too... although they made the 2nd ML the main one later on, from what I know.

Damn, episode 15 might be my favorite one so far. The way everything unfolded was amazing. Lee Seung-Gi acted his ass off!

I hope the ratings improve! Queen's House and Cinderella Game were sleeper hits.

Secrets and Lies (MBC daily drama), a little bit.

Finally made it to the "big reveal" (not too big of a reveal since I predicted it early on, AND it got spoiled on here for me. Fuck you Vincenzo Cassano. DO YOU SEE HOW I'M UTILIZING THE SPOILER BUTTON, MAN?! CLICK IT and stop being a judgemental douchebag.) I already thought that Ba-Reum = Jae-Hoon. Eps 9 to 14 dragged A LOT and I skipped most of it. They genuinely could've cut all these subplots and episodes entirely. The female characters disappoint me. 😔 Nonetheless... I'm looking forward to the last 5 episodes. Hoping it slightly improves.

Oh, and the BGM in this drama is great...

I agree. If it wasn't gonna be tragic (though I did want a happy ending, it would've been more of a pyrrhic victory/ending for me), it would at least be open-ended (which it was.) Ki-Tae was never a good person.

I'm not talking about YOU. I'm referring to the audience who bombed it with low ratings simply because they disliked the ending. I LOVED this drama and it's one of my personal favorites. Chill out, man. 😭

Probably because of the ending, but why would you expect a happy ending for a villain protagonist is my question... 💀

I gotta be honest, I stopped caring about Bong-Yi a WHILE ago. They built her up as a "strong woman" all to make her a helpless damsel at the end. And the whole frontal lobe thing is NOT doing it for me still... this stretch feels like there's plot twists just for plot twists' sake. Ah well, onto the next episodes.

AND WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SERIAL KILLERS??? THIS IS A 20 EPISODE DRAMA FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

8 because I kept up through recaps and the actors did their best... but on second thought you're right. This is going in my blacklist, so... it gets, like, a... 3/10??? 😭

Man wtf was that ending for episode 9??? 😭

Incredible drama for me. I liked the ending as well.

To be slightly fair to him, I understand why he lost his mind (but he was unhinged from the get-go), going to prison and getting framed for something he didn't do. 😂 Gun-Young coulda died at the end of Season 1 for me. The Chief of Staff was a way better foil/antagonist.

There are much worse antagonists, what I did like about his arc is that he became the VERY thing he hated (and seemed to regret it?) Regardless I was a Ki-Tae fan from the beginning lol

No season 3, but I like to believe that he's alive and out there somewhere. :)

Hyun Bin was absolutely the star of the show. He earned that Baeksang.

I watched The Scandal and finished Made In Korea Season 2 (reviewed it), as well as OK! Let's Get A Divorce (terrible, btw.) Still watching Mouse (2021.) I've got like 2 other dramas to review and I've started Empresses in the Palace (c-drama) and began my rewatch of Magnificent Century: Kosëm (Turkish drama. Going very slow, though.)
