On both parts? Episode 8 felt incredibly long, but damn, was it sad...

Highly disagree, Ham Eun-Jung is a great actress! One of the rare idol-turned-actors that I genuinely like, especially after seeing her performance in Queen's House. Also, I predict an enemies-to-lovers arc with Jang-Mi and Baek-Ho.

I hope, because homegirl needs to lock in ASAP! That's one of the very few things that's gonna bring me back to the drama... I just hope it doesn't happen in the last 10 episodes. It better not.

Totally agree on the JW part, I want her back in her anti-heroine mode already!

Understandable. Although, the recent episodes shed more light on NS and made her a lot less one-dimensional, which I appreciate. NS also seems to genuinely love HN to an extent as well. Great explanation of YC as a person... I guess I understand her a bit more, I just feel like she's severely undeveloped compared to the rest of the main cast. Like YC is *just* an antagonist, this is my main reason why I personally dislike her. She's quite boring. If the writers leaned into her complexities and made her grow just a LITTLE BIT, I'd find it easier to root for her.

Again with these slow-paced scenes... get to the point already! Also, if this drama has so many people THIS upset, I guarantee you that you wouldn't be able to handle Gone Girl or Death Note...

BINGO BINGO BINGO! You nailed it!

I just feel like they should've marketed Aera as the true FL if the writer was gonna center her 💀 I like villainous characters and villainous protagonists, but the way the writer went about it? Nah.

I literally do NOT wanna see Choi Yoon-Young's face anymore after watching this. I did see the last episode. Terrible. Not worth it. Still one of my lowest rated dramas of all time.

Yes, the screenwriter got fired. I don't think he's written another drama since... maybe MIAV had a co-writer, or proofreaders or something... also, I love NamuWiki. It's so messy yet iconic! 😭

Can't disagree with that! Also, real chaebols are usually just as messy as or even messier than they are seen in k-dramas too.

Me too, but then Jang-Mi would have to die (or disappear) for that to happen...

Yes, it happened in several twin/revenge dramas! Queen of Ambition, The Promise/Heaven's Promise, Resurrection, and Wife Returns are the ones I immediately think of.

I personally don't want her to die either. I'd rather have Seo-Rin pretend to be Jang-Mi for revenge, like what happened in Wife Returns.

As is SH too because his dad is the chairman. All 3 of them are nepo babies. Also, you've forgotten that JW joined as a designer and rejected the director(? Can't remember the role right now) position when TS offered it to her. So everyone's pretty much on an even playing field right now.

The twins finally get to meet in the next episode! I definitely like Seo-Rin more right now... also, I'm wondering if the professor will become a villain? I find Hong-Ju annoying, her mother Sam-Wol is also annoying. I don't care about Tae-Poong and his music ambitions, I really don't. You are not Freddie Mercury, clock into the office and get a REAL JOB! Even your DAD thinks you're a bum!

Current favorite is still Hwa-Young, she's very engaging to watch. I love Seo-Rin too, but my k-drama predictions are telling me that she might die... let's hope Jang-Mi is as ruthless as she is or becomes as ruthless she is once she starts taking revenge.

I like that Chairman Gong has some vulnerability because I found her incredibly one-dimensional... sometimes character development helps lol, plus I felt like it was a bit obvious that she had more love for Ha-Neul? She never hurt him the way she hurt Young-Chae.

Very disappointed in Jung-Won's development too.

This perspective actually makes me wanna start watching again. I guess the true protagonist has been HR all along!

And I understand punishing her for the (few) bad things that she did because of karma, or whatever, but like... at some point, too much is too much! She doesn't need to constantly suffer! 😭

It's funny because I liked JW at first when she was morally grey and ambitious. Why didn't the writers keep her like that?

It's a daily drama. None of them are original lol

HR stepped down, so... not really? If JW was really a nepo baby, she'd be an executive already.

Merry Christmas!
