I suppose so... viewing Hwa-Young as the protagonist can only take me so far! 😂

My theory is the writers are trying to make the script as unpredictable as possible. Making it seem like things are coasting along smoothly, then... plot twist! Hwa-Young gets released or someone unexpected shows up! And the revenge is back on.

How does the FL look like a policewoman? I'm confused? Also, her tech/company got stolen, I'd be pissed too (even if she did get scammed/fooled into giving it up.)

Tae-Seop is still very much the protagonist which is what's confusing to me... I mean, how much further does his arc need to be developed? 😭 We saw his past and everything, we know what his goals are, we're familiar with him as a character, he's being developed well enough, he's usually the first one we see in an episode... so I'm confused?

There have been plenty of k-dramas I can think of with a morally grey and/or villainous cast of characters, old & new. Usually referred to as a "picaresque" drama. Some examples:

Penthouse
Escape of the Seven
Return
The World of the Married
A Graceful Liar
Karma (I think?)
Flames of Desire
Empress Ki (shout out to the people who recommended me this drama, btw)
Dear X
Made In Korea
Reflection Of You
Empire of Gold/Golden Empire
Game of Witches/Witch's Game
Secrets and Lies (except for the 2nd ML & 2nd FL, the FL here was a villain)
Graceful Friends
Battle for Happiness (except for the heroine)
Sponsor
Chief of Staff
Squid Game (might be the best example of this, lol)
First Lady
Artificial City
Queen's House

And more...

That's a very good question! I feel like part of her did love Ji-Su, but what makes you think that Sang-Ah's relationship with her was an obsession? 🤔

Yeah, I'm confused because they made it seem like he'd play a main role. Maybe he'll be the one to take down Yang-Mi?

Yes, the scene looked pretty real to me. I have yet to fully watch episode 8, but that other lady DID look like Jung-Won. It damn sure wasn't Ji-Su.

Interesting points. Part of me thinks they aren't psyching the viewers this time...

Do you have any BL drama recommendations? 🤔

I erased that drama from my memory, man 😭 it was that bad!

I knew about the first part (I won't disagree with that), but I did not know what the posters were saying. I thought this would be a House Of Cards/War of the Roses situation with Sang-Ah & Tae-Seop. Now I can't tell what's happening, though... 🤔

I haven't watched a BL drama either, so I'm excited to start this!

This was NEVER marketed as a romance drama in the first place. The posters should show that. It's a political/noir thriller-drama lol

It's easy for me to watch. There's no "main villain" yet. So far it seems like a slice-of-life kind of drama.

Yes, the characters here do seem like regular people (mostly.) Min-Ho is so irritating, I hope he's left single too. Can't take him seriously either.

I haven't properly watched First Man in ages... I'm considering dropping it. I also think you should. 😂

Idc if I'm a fan or not. Even if I weren't (he's not my absolute favorite actor, either), attacking someone's appearance to this extent is weird. Man or woman. If you hate him oh-so-much, maybe don't watch a drama where his "droopy face" will be in a leading role??? Logic, hello?! 😭

A brainwashed baby? What drama was that again? 😭

Yes, that's true! (I'm surprised there aren't Bollywood movies & Indian shows on here...)

You're welcome, I hope it helps a lot! :)

I'm so used to watching revenge dailies. It's weird! But it's a nice change of pace.
