That synopsis... does it mean they're proofreading a dramatisation of a novel or is it some Inception-like, multi storeyed meta on an original dorama?? Endlessly criticized minds storing a real-life footage of a novel's content in a making. Boy. I'd watch that one.
is the description in this show wrong because i watched it and it makes no sense towards the show..?
MC isn't an illegitimate son of a nobleman but of a slave. There's this whole legend about a Mighty Child, a lowborn of superhuman strenght that will oppose the nobles (which is a funny thing to realise that they're airing this show against Strong Woman DBS).
The cast alone makes me feel like this will be good
She is! My point was their roles are so small in comparison it gives an impression they were mostly casted to bring more viewers with their names, plus they are very high on a cast list here. A rookie would do their parts and no one would give them much attention.
So: trust the poster, not the cast list this time.

if you have any hopes to see much of Choi Min Ho or Ryu Jool Yeon then I probably have to disappoint you. They don't have much importance. Two lead actresses make a great job though.
I made a mistake checking out Go Ah Sung filmography and now I'm equally afraid they'll try to make some Office reference and desperately want to see that happening.
These characters make no sense. Why would a mom yell about a woman for being around her kids, to the point of…
I dread they will get back together too, but it's unlikely to go this far. The closest it gets to bringing them back together is a joined custody/cohabitation (for now). But I wouldn't mind if they abandonded the idea altogether, how much more traumatizing living apart can be than some fictious living together for the sake of the idea of a healthy family.
Do you mean Jae Bok doesn't like Jung Hee and Eun Hee getting together? She has reasons for that, it's not like she's just jealous (and I don't really think she is). She would let him be with EH (or Na Mi for that matter) if he pleases, it's not about keeping him. We know more than she does, but she also knows a thing or two. She catched Eun Hee lying about her ex husband and changing versions, she knows she's up to something. She sees that EH landed JH a position in her company and knows it's not for free (something JH chooses to ignore until it's too obvious). JB may pretend to be a little less indifferent than she really is, but there's a difference between being hurt by her exhusband (or her kids) and latching on him.
She asked her mother-in-law to take care of her son, but she lied to her (on EH account). There was no EH in her scenario. She's not mad at EH for not taking care about him, but for distracting the mother-in-law who was supposed to do it (and jarred with her reaction). She tried to confront her, but then EH interfered.
By the way, don't you mind EH walking around JB's part of the house all the time? Doesn't it make the boundaries invalid? It was EH who broken them first, repeatedly.
I hope she leaves the house soon, but it wasn't her first choice. She suggested JH to move out, he declined, and since she's so fixed on living together for the children (and she still has a right to live there), she chose to move back in for the time being. It's tedious seeing her move in and out, but again - she has her reasons.
I don't see how would JB wanted to get back with JH, ever. (But it's still a mystery to me what any of these three women could have seen in him, so who am I to judge.)
These characters make no sense. Why would a mom yell about a woman for being around her kids, to the point of…
Jae Bok didn't yell at Eun Hee for simply being around her kids. She yelled because Eun Hee notoriusly played her sneaky game, pretending to be their mum to strangers, giving the son secret gifts and earning his feelings, plotting an intrigue regarding JB alleged love affair and who the father is and so on. That's enough for a restraint order, not a silly contract. Or better cutting all the ties, but we would have a drama then. Jae Bok got mad because Eun Hee took responsibility for her son and abandoned him, moreover she lured the mother-in-law to do the same and they both chose to believe his lousy excuse instead of making him go to his lessons or whatever he was supposed to do. They were aware and ignored him, that was the point. Eun Hee put up a front of a caring substitute and dropped it as soon as she didn't need it anymore.
Jae Bok is the last person to be called manipulative or latchy. She only contacts her ex to talk about their kids (if she can't solve it alone) and calmly informs him about their problems. What's manipulative about it?
The friends are nosy, with that I agree. But it's not like they didn't have a reason to go to that room.
It's been a month and I still think the only way it makes any sense at all is that they were all dead from the plane crush and stuck in a limbo to unravel the songwritter's death mystery by some joined conciousness mambo-jambo.
Argh, the growing pains of mixed-genre kdramas. When will it be over.
When will I learn to stop making theories. It's no use with this show.
/ I'm so anxious where's it heading right now and whether the showrunners will try to bring Jae Bok and Jung Hee back together. The show makes on step forward, one back (and I love it, but sometimes it's frustrating). I feel like nothing much changed this week, the ep 12 ending is similar to 10's. So many things happened, but we're almost the same place (literally, they came back to that hellish mansion). A bratty kid learned his lesson. We checked the theory that Eun Hee is a high-school creep and refuted it, establishing she really is after Jung Hee, not Jae Bok (or so it seems for now). Jung Hee makes a fuss about being lied to (and - allegedly - sharing his lover with his repulsive former superior), but doesn't persue the right question (who's crazy enough to pay so much money for seducing him and why?). And how does he imagine to prove that he can get something for free (he really seemed to believe it... OK, we knew he's spineless, but how brain-dead one can be?)?? Bong Goo started to feel uncomfortable about himself, but instead of abandoning the old ways, he decided to put them to some use - will it backfire? I'm not sure about his intentions, the last scene in a car showed some mixed feelings and now I think that something that started as a decoy to get something on Eun Hee may actually turn otherwise. So many questions. So many episodes left for things to complicate further.
I feel like crying. T_T I still feel down 3 days after watching episode 12. I'm only hanging on because of…
How about Protect the Boss? or Lucky Romance? the last one isn't the best drama out there, but the lead and his crush is out of the charts adorable.
The situation you describe reminds me of Five to Nine (japanese drama). Beware though, it's a challenge for modern western mentality (probably modern eastern mentality too).
Have you seen Ghost? It has somehow complicated situation at the beginning (after an accident a guy ends up with face redone to resemble his frenemy, an object of female lead's crush) but it heads nowhere and romance has little to no importance later. It's about cyber crimes.
/Also: Dr. Frost and Zero no Shinjitsu (and many more jdramas). Seondal to some extent (there's a hint of romantic sideplot, but it's rather superfluous to the story). Map Against the World.
woah, it must have turned really bad if this page started to look like this instead of previous fangirling and pretending main leads charisma saves the rest.
I'll be honest, so far I absolutely can't stand Seo Woo Jin at all. I know it's super popular in…
I know I did! :D I'm so weak when it comes to charming single fathers knowing what's wrong with their sons. And owning an orchard in a bloom. What can I say.
I took a liking in this drama because of the second leads characters so I decided to rewatch episode 2. But I…
3. There's no 1986 him anymore. He disappeared mysteriously in the tunnel never to be found again (= jumped to 2016). It's logical that he has no future if he's here. He IS asking about 1986 case whenever the topic arises. He can't just come clean that he's a time traveller, he would be taken to the mental institution. He's not planning to stay here, he barely landed and didn't even have time to think about finding his wife and giving her a heart attack. Neither he can't tell that he's not the man they think he is, because he would lose an access to police data and resources. It took him a while to realise there is a police member who he knows from the past.
Just pay attention instead of picking on meaningless 'plotholes'. 2 is too common to even count. 1 WAS taken into consideration. He had a concussion and it showed, how else would he took so long to realise his surroundings changed so much (not to mention blurry, shaky camerawork). He probably slept that out.
So: trust the poster, not the cast list this time.
