Well she did go to jail and then got out. I'm just happy that she's left back where she started (in the soup shop), taking care of the mother she wanted to deny. I think it's good that she doesn't earn happiness by the end.

Done watching and man, was the end (around ep 45 til the end) boring! Not enough makjang in this drama. Come Jang Bo Ri is by far the better drama.

Wait what??

Oh ok I get it now. Thanks!

I like your list, I unfortunately haven't see a lot of Lee Bo Young, I'll have to remedy.

I recently watched Come! Jang Bo Ri, and I saw that I wrote a note (a long time ago) about watching Twinkle Twinkle at the same time. I don't remember why I wrote that note, but I guess someone must have recommended I do so, probably to compare and contrast my fave Lee Yu Ri's performance. So I begrudgingly decided to watch the first 3 episodes of Twinkle Twinkle and see. Well, I'm now at ep23, and going. I still don't know for sure why I wrote the note, but comparing the two dramas is very interesting, not just because of Lee Yu Ri, these two dramas are like two sides of one coin, it takes the same archetype of easy go lucky FL and puts her in the two opposite ends of the same situation.
If you're reading this and you're the one who gave me the recommendation, thank you, and please say hi! ^^

Hello, please tell me because I went to look and couldn' t find anything. I've spent the last 30min combing through search results. Is it the alleged affair she had with a CEO or something?

I finished the drama yesterday and I liked the ending. Let me know what you thought when you finish.

I refer to his age because SK's showbusiness is unkind to older people. He already had a hard time finding good roles at his peak of youth, how is it gonna be as he keeps getting older? I agree with you about people looking older, all my faves are pushing 40 and 50. Actually I'm attracted to Sung Hoon because of his natural look (tanned skin, square jaw and healthy body mass), I just wish his talent could compensate for what is seen as a flaw in South Korea media.

"Well there sure are many men I have in mind but listing them will be controversial"
Haha I also had a few ones (one very very popular) in mind but I'm scared of being attacked here ^^'

I'm happy if she's found her strength and I really hope she sticks to it in the future.

I think probably something was lost in translation here. Guilty towards whom? Then she goes on to say the rest of the cast was very young people. Is this a coy way to say she wishes younger actors had been given a chance (after all that's pretty much how she got her first break)?

I didn't notice people going easier on mediocre male actors. That said, it could be explained by the fact that she mostly does romance, and most romance watchers are female. So we want a good actress to relate to. Even if the ML's acting is not so good, we can objectify him and simply root for the FL. But when the FL gives you a whole lot of nothing...
That said, I'll check out Run On out of curiosity.

How is SSK getting those main lead roles? Even in stills, her acting is bad. And what makes it worse is, she's almost always paired with my favorite ahjussis

I'm happy I watched this. I wanted to see baby faced Kim Ji Hoon and first went for a few episodes. Then Lee Yu Ri just sucked me in with her crazy antics and fine acting. This is a nice Makjang drama with a really nice ending (which is hard to do for the longer dramas). The ML has some growth to be done, but once he's there, well he's there. The FL is the "nice Candy" type, but she also ends up growing a backbone. There's a really cute and talented child actor that will melt the hardest, darkest of hearts. That being said, your blood pressure is sure to rise from the bad guys' shenanigans, but the good guys are not dummies either and they can fight. Also, the dressing is not too outdated. So if you're interested in a good Makjang, I'll say go for this.

Funny that we both watched such an old drama, at a few hours interval ^^
That said, I agree with everyone being insufferable, but I like that by the end the FL is able to stand for her daughter, showing she has some backbone.

I'm only considering this because of Wi Ha-joon. But seriously, the melo, atmospheric dramas are not my fave. I'm scared ^^'

She's everyone's big sister haha. Only once she played a second FL and even then I rooted for her more than the actual FL.

I watched it only because of Sung Hoon whom I've since I first saw him in My Secret Romance (even though I didn't watch it). I also enjoyed him in I Live Alone. For some reason, the dramas he takes on are never to my taste. So I was super happy to for once watch his drama. This was a good little makjang drama with a very tight budget. The story is nice though you can't help but compare it with Marry My Husband (MMH). MMH is slightly better (better production value and more star power) but Perfect Marriage Revenge is fast moving, with a tight plot and better timing. As for Sung Hoon, his acting seems to have gotten worse, and he's showing his age but still he's my babe (well, more like my ahjussi). Thankfully the rest of the cast, mostly the women, does a really good job and picks up his slack.

I completely agree.

Well you're not supposed to like her, that's the point
