True. He did made a fool out of that defense minister and it looks like he sided with the left simply because he was pissed at the king for tieing him down. But now king has given him a chance to get out of the doomed marriage (he don't know the king is also using him) so he no more feel the need to side with the left minister

The fl only had guilt for hurting her childhood friend and nothing else. The sfl also realised the ml loves her way more than he ever did when min min didn't leave her when she was tired down by the bomb. Bong soon fell out of love with the SML a long ago but she realised that when she fell for min min and she rejected the SML even before he could propose to her. The only conflict the leads had after being together is when her friend got kidnapped and the fl acted impulsively putting herself in danger.

The time was different. It was mandatory to kill the king and general and their family who lost the war so that they won't come back to claim the throne again. Right now the fl is behaving too self righteous but her own father was a general and killed people the same way doha did it. During those times some kings used to marry princesses from the kingdom they conquered and kill her entire male relatives.

It's mentioned that some of the guys the ml hit were seriously injured. He hit their head with heavy metal and the fl is a firefighter so she knows the vital points and the injuries don't come under self defence.
The protest to fire her were from the ml's crazy fans who saw the video of her assulting the actor. They were not there because of the kidnapping case.
Also the ml's brother pulled his strings to suspend her so that she can be with the ml. So the suspension is not based on her actions.

The evil spirit that possessed the ex CEO is the stepfather. Don't think the king has any more role to play and he seems to like doha but the father don't allow the king to get close to him.
I think the father might find out about Rita's past and I saw Doha and Rita in red dress which I am assuming is the marriage clothes of that time. So Doha might marry the daughter of the ex general which make doha a traitor. Rita also changed her identity which might be punishable. So the stepfather might have made the king and the entire state against the leads.

Both. The leads have a past life and in some episodes a good chuck of screentime is dedicated to the flashback.

So there is a backstory?

I guess that's why he is so mad at everyone all the time. He literally have no one and has nothing to do either. In the last episode his brother and family came back but he don't seems to be attached to him.

It's mostly when it try to make the tanned ones look fair. At times their neck and their face won't match and it's very evident.

Might be but I guess he had that bad makeup in penthouse or shooting star as well. Don't remember which one but he had this kind if bad makeup in another drama as well.

Most probably career choices. The fl being a photographer might not have much career options in a small village and due to the ml's past he won't leave the village for better career aspects.

The whole past life equation of the ml and his foster father is so toxic.

Seems like the fl's father knew about her having a ghost with her and was adamant on her wearing that talisman.

Is the brother of the ml going to be a positive character? He seems to be obsessed with the ml and will do anything for him. Is it simply because the ml is his only family and is like a older brother/father to the younger one or is there any backstory?

Four episodes in and the leads ended up in the hospital in every single one of them and at times twice 🤣.

Rom-coms and slice of life have happy ending but this seems to be a little serious. So I won't be surprised if it won't have a happy ending.

Are they following the past story or its also changed?

I liked 3 and 4 more than the first two. The story is picking up even though it has a lot of subplots which might be connected to each other as the story moves forward.

I am not liking kim dae young dae's makeup in the present time. I think it looks fine in the flashbacks as it looks closer to his real skin tone but in the present they tried too hard to make him more face. The skin tone around his eyes are so different from the rest of the face. The last scene in ep 4 had a lot of closeup scenes and the bad makeup is visible.
Him and rowoon are tanned and the makers should stop tried to make them too fair.

This drama is more serious than I thought and also a little dark. I thought this will be a rom com like the matchmaker but this is more of a romantic melodrama with supernatural bg. I am loving this so far. I like the flashbacks and the complicated relationship between the leads in the past life.
