Hi :) I also like how they show that family doesn't always mean one's blood, since the women in the drama consider each other as family and have a very strong, supportive sisterly bond.
Hello. I am here for a visit. Haven't found anything that captivated much as this show. I assume you finished…
i will watch HIAYS for the male lead, he usually has great chemistry with his partners, even though his romcom dramas aren't the best tbh. How did you like SWK? It's on my watchlist, seems like a depressing watch though haha.

i will try to finish it this week though! i have quite some time to spear, and i'm excited to see the leads again. i'm currently working of making some progress in >new life begins< :)
i need to add my two cents without even having seen the scene i'm goin to talk about.
from a clip i have seen my girl gil chae will be harming herself and get a cut on her face in order to save herself from the enemy and becoming a sex object for his pleasure (i assume?), and i would like to say that (imo it's quite obvious) it further highlights the female lead's character development.
we meet gil chae in part 1 as this slightly narcissistic girl, self-centered and very confident in her looks. she has the validation of her beauty from the scholars who she can easily wrap around her fingers. when she has a bad day, or when she is simply bored out of her mind, she takes a mirror and looks at herself. confirming her pretty face, her beauty. her beauty is an asset that doesn't work in her favor in part 2, it's the reason she was taken.
so, for her to get a cut on her forehead and thus scarring her face shows that her instinct to survive is greater than her beauty and that she will gladly "devalue" herself if it means gaining something out of it. imo, it shows her development because i don't think early episodes gil chae would have ever considered ruining her beauty like that. ofc, she acts to save her own skin, but it shows that she'll do what's necessary, as she has always been doing ever since episode 4. she kills, she fights, she does business, and she even "ruins" her pretty face if it means survival.
this further strengthens my love for her and her character. she is selfless and resilient. even in episode 11 we can see that she is "selfish" against her will sometimes. she did not want to leave that old man behind which is why she went back to negotiate to at least get his grandson's freedom. she has a moral conscience, and still wants to help people, but knows she has to be careful. It literally troubled her so much that she went BACK. gil chae is such an interesting female character and my heart breaks for her, i'm excited to watch episode 12 and onwards, but i wanted to get this little (maybe very obvious) analysis off my chest.
