I'm honestly surprised at the pacing of this. I didn't think people would start connecting jeongwon = sua until…
I need to make myself like Young-Chae because I find her so annoying 😭 I feel like she hasn't developed AT ALL! Compared to Jung-Won and even Nan-Suk, who are BOTH showing how far they'd go for what they want and becoming darker. I don't see this one having a happy ending either, nor do I want it. Quit forcing happy endings, k-drama writers! I'm on Jung-Won's side all day everyday though lol, I love a villain FL!
Gossip Girl is SO GOOD, I need to finish it! Even the books were good too, from what little I saw.
Sorry to be mean, but I agree. Woo-jung's actress sucks. Idk why people kept calling her the FL, it's clearly…
Myung-Jun is trash. Been a minute since I re-watched the early episodes, but I think I was on Hwa-Kyung's side too regarding the bio father thing. I'm like at ep 80 and I pretty much skip WJ's scenes lol I even like the 2nd ML more than her.
And the bad acting complaints, and yes you are correct. Oh Seung-Ah DID get an award for this... my honest opinion is that she's lowkey the best actor here out of the younger cast. Me not even REALIZING she was the FL is probably what made me drop this drama years ago at first! 😭
In addition, the ending theme goes INSANELY hard (both of them.)
Decided to circle back around to this because Dear X & A Graceful Liar got me appreciating female villain…
Sorry to be mean, but I agree. Woo-jung's actress sucks. Idk why people kept calling her the FL, it's clearly Hwa-Kyung! And Woo-Jung is nasty as hell for that too.
To be fair, as far as the stupid dad & stepmom know, they *think* HR intentionally abandoned JW. She left…
Upon watching the recent episodes, I'm gonna go ahead and agree with you. JW is being a hypocrite, being careless, and not in the right (though I never said she was lol) JW still wants to be YC because she's secretly jealous of her and is using revenge as an excuse to do so now. How's that for relevancy? 😭
The way I see it- there's 2 camps here: people on HR's side and people NOT on HR's side. Me? I'm in the middle... because I *see* both sides. I think HR is a complex character so I can't fully condemn her. But... I guess my opinion isn't relevant either lol
I've been watching k-dramas for a long time (should be 8 years now, actually.) Soap operas for even longer (which is what introduced me to makjangs/daily dramas.) I've seen: body swaps, birth switches, kids dying, terrorism, more characters being revived from the dead than a fairy tale, lots of revenge, corporate wars, ridiculously intense opera singing (Penthouse 👀), characters committing incest, evil twins, memory swaps, devil possessions (hi, Days of Our Lives!), I watch anime (Death Note is basically a soap opera too lol), and I've even watched telenovelas. In all that time I've learned to never, ever, EVER take a k-drama seriously. ESPECIALLY after watching Escape of the Seven. 😂 At some point, ya just gotta laugh lol
Shit is about to go down like Donkey Kong in the next episode... and I DEFINITELY expect KB to die soon. Chairman Two-Face is gonna kill him soon enough, I don't see KB surviving till the end.
MH was right: "Things are about to get messy!" There's gonna be a BIG blow up soon!
BUT. Bad or not. I root for Jung-Won as much as I rooted for Oh Yoon-Hee in Penthouse. 😂
By rape, I meant drug SH and sleep with him, typical makjang playbook lmao
I mean, like I said, I'm in the middle about HR. I don't think she's a wicked vile woman who schemed to leave JW from the jump, but she's damn sure not good and pretty much a deadbeat. But like I said, if HR shows her dark side, I'm not sure about a redemption/reconcilation. If *I* were JW, I personally wouldn't forgive HR, or at least accept her apology but NEVER allow her in my life.
As for Young-Chae... fuuuuuckkkkk her. (For now. If she actually grows as a person, I might backtrack a TINY bit. Like... a centimeter. How do you have zero character development for 30 episodes lol)
I don't think the model's alive since we saw him DIE die, for real. JW's ex might reappear again, though (I hope tf not!) But there could be a plot twist somewhere.
girl, leave my girl YC out of it. lol Her life was already horrible having that woman as a mom lol
She's still a trash friend! Lol I do feel bad for her though, imagine having that witch as a mom. I don't think she should die, I just feel like she could try being a more decent person. Her STILL being arrogant annoys me to no end 😭 but her going abroad would've helped her a lot.
I think JW's using the revenge as an excuse to be YC, too. Like I said, I feel like she's always envied YC.
It's okay for a protagonist/FL to NOT be good, I promise 😭 villain protagonists DO exist lol. I personally find anti-hero/villain protagonists more interesting.
From a legal standpoint, she's not "good". But if we're getting literal or creative, then JW would be considered morally grey. She hasn't crossed the horizon yet, the only way she'll do that is if she kills someone or r*pes SH or something, both of which I highly doubt will happen. Still a possibility with this show.
Bottom line, JW isn't a heroine. Never has been, she'd be considered a dark hero/anti-heroine. We need more anti-heroines in daily dramas, in my opinion! Break the mold of the dumb sweetheart heroines lol
The whole mother/HR thing is so complex... yes, HR abandoned JW and didn't do enough to find her, but she *also* got into a car accident and nearly died. The Big Bad here is Chairman Two-Face. I want HR to regret what she's done and I can see her having a redemption... UNLESS, she turns out to be villainous too. Because right now, she's one of the biggest victims in the show.
Now as for JW... her arc should be interesting. Will she find out the truth soon, or will her revenge destroy everything, and it'll be too late?
I wonder how you feel about YC, I have some sympathy for her, but I also can't stand her... lmao
I think JW's using the revenge as an excuse to be YC, too. Like I said, I feel like she's always envied YC.
Oh, definitely not. There's a possibility that JW could go to prison, there's no way she'll stay as YC forever lol she's not a good person, unless they redeem her, she'll suffer a lot for her actions OR become even worse and have a massive downfall.
Personally I'm sick of happy endings in k-dramas. I want a drama (especially a daily one) with a sad, tragic, bittersweet, cliffhanger, or even an open ending sometimes! A few daily dramas have had open endings (Miss Monte-Cristo and Ruby Ring come to mind) or bittersweet ones. There was even one daily where the FL died at the end, and another one where they teased a part 2 with one of the villains in an institution (but of course, didn't do it.)
I think JW's using the revenge as an excuse to be YC, too. Like I said, I feel like she's always envied YC.
Also depends on if JW/fake YC wants to go back to being the real JW *after* the revenge is finished. I doubt it, since I feel like there's gonna be a corruption arc here. But if there's NOT, she'll probably be forced into admitting that she's the real JW.
To be fair, as far as the stupid dad & stepmom know, they *think* HR intentionally abandoned JW. She left…
And what I'm saying is perfectly relevant because it seems like you're ignoring the context of the FL's actions and just blaming her like a certain someone (not you.) 😂 I don't think you ARE, though, nor do you intend to- I get what you're saying and I agree, I'm just adding onto your point. Might be a tone mismatch here. I watched Friday's episode and yeah- JW is being super impulsive.
Can we give Lee Shi-A a round of applause for her portrayal as Jung-Won? She's doing a great job! JW herself might become one of my favorite FLs/protagonists in daily dramas, and I don't even have favorites like that. I'd also like to add that this drama is much more enjoyable without YC's whining and pathetic KB & MH. Aside from those flaws, this daily has been on point!
Now, Friday's episode... Se-Mi is probably gonna be the first one to find out that JW isn't YC. But JW will either force her to be silent or get her on her side somehow. Also, I did not expect- but I do *love* it- JW to basically manipulate SH into taking over Gun-Hyang Group. Wow. I also expect something bad to happen to YC again soon. JW is not gonna let things go her way, and she was completely right when she told YC that she technically gave her identity to her.
I have a feeling that we'll see HR's dark side soon. Did she really fake her degrees? JW has an opportunity to dig up some dirt on her. But she's also gonna unintentionally tear the Jin family apart. This woman is so scary, the best/craziest part is that I genuinely can't predict how this will all end. Things can go in a completely different direction than expected. I do think JW needs to be a bit more careful, her plans might be ruined if she just rushes into things without thinking! She almost got caught in her lies by HR.
Also- is JW PREGNANT?!?! If she is, things are gonna get really, *REALLY* MESSY! Fast!
