Hello! I just sent you a private message ^^

Ji Chang Wook: 'But please don't call me a Disney prince. I think my friends will make fun of me if people start calling me that.'
Sounds to me like someone wants to be called a DIsney Prince!!! ;D

ohh I see maybe it will be revealed later because for now I don't think the've said so in the drama. That said, if she's only a stepmom why would she take her stepdaughter into a new marriage ? My mind is coming up with wild theories now haha. I'll just calm down and wait patiently for next episode :D

Everything you said except I think the mom is her real mom from a first marriage with the man who has dementia. Then the mom found a rich guy and left with her. She was adopted by the rich stepdad (hence the name Hong). The older sister is the real daughter from the family, while the FL is an adopted stepdaughter.

Honestly I'm scared this is gonna be like The Last Empress (which was fine only because of the stellar acting but the writing was honestly all over the place). So many genres mixed in ^^'

I don't know if I believe that the husband is really clueless. I think he probably guessed at some point during the 2nd episode. Now I'm wondering if the rest of the show is him helping her cover up for her horrible mistake (since her calls have been linked to the bombing)

Yes that's exactly that! He calls his MIL to make sure she's safe and the MIL lies to cover for her daughter so he calls the kidnapper bluff. But it's not a bluff.

OK thanks for the heads up

OK I think I get it. Basically there is no freaking rhyme or reason to this shit. Just action for the sake of action. Thanks for the head's up!

I watched the first one. At this point, I just want an explanation to the phenomenon or at least some kind of closure. Will I find any of it in S2 or should I just move on?

Hello, is there some kind of closure at the end of S2?

Thank you for recommending. I'll check them out :)

Oh also, I like when a drama has a very out there title and it takes watching til the very end to understand what it means. Really well done here. Once again, kudos to the writer!

This drama is the best BL romance I ever saw. I'm used to Thai BLs with the odd japanese one here and there for a palette cleanser. But this is my first KBL and wow! I didn't even intend to watch it, but I watched a small climb and got hooked!

I must say I was a bit worried after episode 6 because there was potential for a disaster in less expert hands but the writing, the directing and the acting just pulled it all off and tied up that ending and then some. I was astonished by how satisfying the ending was while still grounded in reality.

I'll need some explaining about some things that were probably lost in translation. Speaking of which, for the people who said they were confused, beware the quality of the subs you're using!

Because I didn't watch those dramas. But thank you for pointing them out. Could you tell me more about their characteristics so I will know what type of obsessed they are ?

I don't know if I'm the only one who resent this new trend of kdramas having multiple seasons. Among the many things that I appreciated from the beginning about kdramas, was that you always knew what you were getting into (episodes count) and the writers were focusing on a single season, and doing their best to tie it all up in one arc. It was so refreshing. I hope we don't lose this.

Thank you for expressing your opinion. I don't understand why people who disagree feel compelled to shut you down.

I'm shocked. I've watched half of this show and didn't recognize her! I guess that's what you call disappearing in one's role!!!

The ending was a bit contrived in my opinion. It was maybe too realistic I guess? Because IRL, the bad guys would win. Only divine intervention could bring these people to justice.
In the end, I thought it was very poetic how almost everyone had a hand in the poor girl dying. The two people who suffered the most (ML and FL) were also the most innocent of the bunch. Which, once again, pretty realistic.

This a kdrama with a strong lakorn flavor to it. The FL is very Pollyanna-like in the beginning and she's being rained on with all the unfortune one can imagine. Then there's the revenge plot of the victim's fiance, etc... But in the midst of all that melodrama, you have great writing and extraordinary actors. Kudos to Ji Sung who brings enough vulnerability to his character to not make you hate him and to Hwang Jung Eum who toned down the shouting and makes you root for her. Yes she's too nice for her own good, but she's definitely not stupid. Once she understands that her unfortune is not just due to poor luck, she fights back.
I had a hard time finishing the drama because it is so heartbreaking, I would'nt necessarily recommend this, even though it IS a classic. I gave it a 8/10.
As for the ending...
