Interesting... 🤔

I don't remember that 😂 I think I dropped it by then!

Kim Kyu-Seon was great in Snow White's Revenge, didn't like Lee Ga-Ryeong in Queen's House too much (I thought Park Yoon-Jae was the stronger "main villain" acting-wise.) But the rest were wonderful too!

I guess it's because she's the central villain. That and Oh Hyun-Kyung is incredibly charismatic!

Ooooh, I've gotta check out The Judge Returns, Ji Sung is a favorite of mine. The Glory was good too, from what I saw. Glad you're willing to try it out! 😁

She looks like Kim So-Yeon with a bob to me. Then again, I've never seen her in a drama before lol

Okay, you did NOT read the synopsis. 💀

I understand that completely! In fact I'd say I mostly agree with that, the world sucks these days. 😔 However, my issue is that they're doing exactly as you described. Plus, people here (not everyone, of course) are unwilling to even explore new things, dismiss anything that isn't a rom-com or a romance drama, or generalize anything that doesn't suit their tastes (this one is personally annoying to me. 🙄) I low-key used to be like this and it kinda makes me cringe seeing this still happen in 2026 lol

No, that 2019 drama is not a makjang just because it's not an office romance with the stereotypical cold ML and the ditzy FL. That is a crime drama. And that drama focused on sports is not boring, it is a sports drama. It's doing what it's SUPPOSED TO DO. No, not every sageuk needs an element of romance in it, a political one is fine and tends to be a bit more (but not always!) accurate historically. And makjangs aren't even an actual genre- a drama can have makjang elements (clichés) WITHOUT actually being one. Boys over Flowers might be the best example of this. 😂

And action dramas exist too, yet they're often considered boring on here... it's strange. 🤔

If 40s is old age, I must be middle aged then at 23! 😂

Literally, people on here ONLY love those corny romance dramas & rom-coms 😭 anything else and their brains melt or it's automatically considered a makjang/bad/poorly written somehow... go watch Cheese In The Trap or Secret Garden instead.

Certainly a new one.

Lol, they actually played sisters in the 2000 drama Secret! They look ridiculously similar to each other. 😂

Alright, watching an ongoing non-daily drama now! Let's do this!

So far it's alright! I think you should give it a chance. If you like revenge daily dramas with comedy in it, I suggest it. If not, then I don't.

This gives me "Return" vibes. Just finished that one today so I'll check it out in the future... as I said, I'm looking for more k-dramas with little to no romance.

The drama started very recently. Not enough episodes have aired for it to have a concrete rating.

The recast? No, Park Jin-Hee did a great job playing the FL. And it was right around the time with a MASSIVE twist in her character. The only other option SBS had was to cancel the drama entirely.

Because the female lead was recast in episode 16. Sometimes that happens. The original actress who played her got fired after a fight with the director (allegedly.)

Okay... okay. I'm currently crying my eyes out at 1 am after that ending, They did NOT need to end it like that and emotionally destroy me to that extent. 😭 Nonetheless, Return was such an incredible drama to watch. This is the first k-drama I've actually binged in a long while. I truly, truly enjoyed it...

My score is another 10/10! Despite the recast and the somewhat jarring (but slightly expected for me) shift in Choi Ja-Hye's character, plus some personal gripes with the ML... I loved watching Return. A wonderful drama for anyone who's into crime dramas, legal thrillers, noir dramas, or murder mysteries with a nice dose of makjang TROPES on the side.

We're in the final stretch! Let's see how everything ends... 👀
