Her actions of revenge towards Hye-Ra, I assume. I think this will be the start of their reconciliation, somewhat.
I doubt Hye-Ra actually thought she'd have gotten pregnant or knew it was Tae-Seok's kid (she obviously DIDN'T know, seeing how shocked she was when she got the DNA results.) Just assumed it was Ki-Bum's kid since she slept with him later on. She really got some action that day, huh? 😂 Common soap opera trope.
I'm not disagreeing on the part about Hye-Ra lying and leaving Jung-Won for a better life (deadbeats suck, no matter the gender lol.) Honestly she should've tried harder to find Jung-Won, but I think it was hinted that Tae-Seok also somewhat inhibited/damaged her search somehow (if it really did happen.) Again, it's not a black & white situation nor is it presented as such... as for the reconciliation? Eh... it took Hye-Ra nearly losing Jung-Won for her to get her shit together. Whatever, I honestly think they're better off working together because as much as I love JW, she's VERY IMPULSIVE! And so reckless. Hye-Ra would rein her in a bit... 🤔 I was hoping their relationship would be left open-ended, maybe standing somewhere and they pass by each other on the street...
Red Shoes has the deadbeat mom as the evil protagonist, while this one doesn't. (Hye-Ra and Jung-Won are like…
I agree, and we could sympathize with her (Hee-Kyung.) Hye-Ra was definitely ambitious and greedy, just like Jung-Won. She didn't wanna be poor and attached to a "criminal". Obviously it's more complicated than that, since Tae-Seok was obsessed with her and viewed her as a possession/trophy (in these recent episodes, we get a REALLY interesting view of his psyche), and Hye-Ra somewhat fed into it. Hye-Ra isn't just a villain and that's one of the (few) things I likeabout her- like she has NUANCE! We need more of that in daily dramas!
I mean, the FL in Queen's House turned ruthless and people still hated on her, thinking that she was going too…
KBS daily dramas do seem to be making a comeback now, though. Which is great because they're barely on anymore... it's only the KBS and MBC dailies. SBS dailies aren't on, tvN's are dead, jtbc barely had any... no more morning dramas either. I've mostly been watching older ones myself... I miss those days. 😔
Baek Ho is the main lead, so he's the end game don't worry.
I think that Baek-Ho and Jang-Mi will end up together too! I love their chemistry so far and I think they'd make a great couple. I'm neutral on Jun-Ho, but if he becomes a villain... then NO!
I mean, the FL in Queen's House turned ruthless and people still hated on her, thinking that she was going too…
Completely agree. I loved how ruthless the revenge was in Gracious Revenge too, with the FL (Carrie Jung, played by Choi Myung-Gil) kidnapping the villain's child and then raising her for revenge.
Sorry I didn’t manage to read the whole review but could you please tell me how is the romance in the drama?…
Not incredibly slow, it kinda gets faster in the second half, but they don't kiss for real till the last episode. The FL is mainly focused on revenge (and for good reason!)
Baek Ho is the main lead, so he's the end game don't worry.
No disagreement there then. Lol plus this screenwriter usually has ML and FLs end up together, so I'm not worried. Just a rare possibility that they might not- but it's slim to none!

Nan-Suk too... although I want her to win 😂
Hmmm. Hmmm... still disagreeing with you on BBQ Aunt kid's death but Ki-Bum's death *was* indirectly caused by Hye-Ra- kinda. I feel like the writer doesn't know what to do with her... but then also she said that she was gonna come back for Jung-Won? Then that weird truck accident happened 💀
No? 🤔 Did you forget how Jung-Won was trying to turn everyone against Hye-Ra, manipulated Se-Hun (low-key why he turned evil, but anyway...) and used the media to harm her reputation? And the clear guilt that Hye-Ra experienced? Or how Young-Chae pretended to be Su-Ah? Or the fake pregnancy... a lot happened, man. Lmao, one positive thing came out of it- JW and HR both have near-death experiences to relate to now! Narrative parallels doing their thing yet again...
Min Hee-Kyung is definitely Hye-Ra's evil older sister. Evil but more sympathetic.... if you like older, villain FLs, I recommend watching Red Shoes.

If you're asking about the romance, there's not much of it, but we get some sweet moments throughout the drama! And the ML & FL have a slow-burn type of relationship. Hope this helps!

So none of this was Tae-Seok's fault at all... like not even a little? Can we not ignore the general plot here, at least? Lmao, also how did she cause BBQ Aunt's kid's death? This one came outta nowhere lol
Oh, BOO! You mean to tell me the nuthouse wouldn't work on Hye-Ra? The last real villain she played took a one-way trip to Crazyville... and got redeemed. 😂 At least here we saw her suffer a lot. As for the poison... that was so lazy on the writer's part, I gotta agree with you on that one lmaoooo
You'd despise Min Hee-Kyung from Red Shoes if you hate Hye-Ra this much... she's unimaginably worse!

At least with HR we have some clues: her not wanting to be with a criminal/"murderer" of a husband, and the fact that she'd regretted leaving JW to an extent. I'm curious about TS's backstory, though.

No disagreeing there. Hye-Ra is both a participant *and* a victim. It's very... complicated? But I kinda blame the writer for this confusion since they never completely clarified or deeply explored Hye-Ra and Tae-Seok's past enough. Maybe we'll see more in the upcoming episodes?

I don't think you understand that Hye-Ra was never set up as an actual villain in the first place lol. She's a very grey and complicated woman, definitely unlikable but we're 77 episodes in... you don't see ANY development in her whatsoever? 😂 I think she needs mental help first and foremost... how about tarot card readings from Chef Hong? 👀

Just how many daily dramas are you watching? Lol
