Yes🙈

I just can't get over the fact that they made such a kind and nice guy from another drama be so vile in this. Even his soft, gentle voice sounds rather eerie here

The vibe is more like When the phone rings only the wife doesn't escape during the first kidnapping attempt and the Husband isn't as formidable/ powerful as the one from WTPR.

It's a thriller since the kidnapper is psychotic and unpredictable/ the husband becomes the main suspect because there's a manipulated video of him orderring the hit on his wife (the guy has no recollection of it).

Ironically, even in ep 3, her flashbacks don't really redeam her behaviour 🙈

Like I understand her pain but it's crazy how she blames everything on him even after so long. If it wasn't for the fact that they keep showing her "real time" scenes, I wouldn't be surprised if she was the mastermind🙈

I’m in ep 7 at the moment. Basically for reasons not explained in ep 1, Yi and Jing were estranged for years. Based on the taunts in the pool game scene, I am guessing back when Jing was a high school student, she might have almost gotten assaulted/ killed and Yi blamed himself for it and chased her away to protect her from being associated with him. Now successful, Jing has returned to their home.

I’s still going through the flashbacks from their youth so I’m just guessing for now.

Same - I finished Never Ending Summer a few days ago but couldn’t resist this any longer🙈

TMAI - I was expecting something awkward at the very least before starting the drama because of all “step-sibling” buzz but honestly there is nothing step about them at all. It was hate at first sight to allies at best. Given their disfunctional family dynamic (at least as of ep 2), I highly doubt Yi and Jing even actually got to have a proper sibling relationship. At best, it’s just housemates falling for eachother seeing as the parents weren’t even really official.

It sounds like one of his parents (my guess is his mum if we follow BL lore usually) badly wanted a daughter and made him do it.

His quiet, calm, and yet popular personality almost feels eerie now 🙈 when his dam breaks, we are all going to drown🙈

Looks like Saeki did not randomly fall in love with Wataru seeing as he was the little girl from the flashbacks. Wonder what kind of angst will be tied to his childhood tho. Will we get another cliche narcissistic paren trope? 🤔

I feel like the restaurant scene called out their hypocrisy in a way?
Wataru was in denial about his budding interest but was jealous throughout the meal until his friend told him how Saeki get glancing at him. Meanwhile Saeki claims to be happy just being able to share his feelings and isn’t expecting anything from Wataru but in the diner he was jealous enough to lose his cool and it had bothered him enough to bring it up again days later. What do you think?

TMAIL! I had to go back to ep 1 to confirm this. It does seem like there might be a separation but we’ll definitely get a happy ending 🙈

Haha TMAI! You normally don't notice this style in office romances 🙈

I think it's because her character has a very dramatic imagination even in the manga as well. The story flows in her pov mostly and their arrangement is raunchy enough to justify her meltdown compared to the tame version we get in the drama.

In contrast, the ML and the rest of their coworkers are pretty chill. So in the drama it's even more obvious 🙈🙈🙈

It depends on the circumstances. In this case, since the Furniture Factory director got arrested for attempted murder, his motive along with whatever evidence he left behind couldn’t be buried (just like he wanted). Aside from the above, ZW already made it clear that she had no interest of being bought off when she resigned from her position before talking to the board. So in this particular circumstance, it was quite clear that the Group might not be able to control the narrative- it’s just not worth the risk. It was just easier to get rid of Lu Z since he was the main instigator behind everything.

LX’s father anyway didn’t have a strong backing from the board to begin with since it was quite clear LX (a.k.a the favourite) favoured his aunt more, so in terms of damage control, if the Group assists the police with Lu’s arrest (along with a few more strategies like compensating the Factory director’s family as well as everybody else who was affected by the sabotage), they’ll be able to protect their brand in the long term.

PS: The last bit is just my hypthesis but given how LX and ZW were truly concerned about the director’s family, they’ll probably do something.

It’s based on a manga so her actions are similar to her “manga” persona.

I guess it’s an acting genre of its own since this style is used quite often with similar adoptions. The drama is made for Japan afterall 🙈

Scandal is the key word. If the public hears even a whisper of a rumour that could tie their brand to the factory closures and the subsequent fallout, it can ruin the Lu Brand’s image and share value - specially in a country like China. Once ZW had evidence, even if the board personally didn’t care about everybody who was affected by Lu’s greed, they still would have to agree to protect their own investment.

Ohhhh…interesting 😂😂😂
I need to brush up on the “kidnapped estranged wife” genre🙈

I have to ask…..do you have Sunjae’s watch? HOW did you watch episode 1 hours before it was released? I can’t see the “based on XXX novel/ webtoon” tag even 🙊

Or am I just late?😅

It’s interesting how “irony” was the true main character of the drama.

While it was a bit slow paced at times, for a scify, the drama is quite interesting. Kudos to Human Vapor San - for his debut role, the actor did an amazing job. The sequence with his final victim was almost heartbreaking when you know his backstory…truly ironic.

Ngl I usually hate overbearing TV mums but Suzu is just ridiculously hilarious- even her Saki is so sassy🙈🤣

Oh I feel the same as well. Perhaps the plot is not for me (but then again I’ve enjoyed similar story lines in the past).

The costumes and visuals are so gorgeous and the actors are so good -with the added bonus of having RangRang and GU Ran reunite in another universe-but something about the story was not working for me I guess? There was just too much going on after sometime.

Somehow finished it by skimming through most of the episodes between ep 12- 37 after keeping it on hold for far too long. Didn’t miss much though I guess since the ending still was kind of coherent enough despite skipping through most of the story.
So I guess the answer to your question is no - tracking all their stories wasn’t needed.

Ep 4- love is indeed blind...sooo sooo blind 🙃
