That's why I said "present day".

He's not a saint but from what I recall at least he wasn't as awfully depicted as the chairman in DK during the present day scenes.

(It's been years since I watched CLOY so I might have forgotten something but from what I recall, the mother in CLOY wasn't a jittery mess in the "present day' scenes aside from her strained relationship with Seri).

I think in this case the father also matters. I can't remember the parents in CLOY much now but the father in it wasn't inherently bad right? He did play chess with all his children but he wasn't cruel to his wife (at least in the present day).

JH's mother's mental torture may have started with JiHye's presence but it's made clear that the chairman treats her like his PR slave.

IKR?! The mums' dynamic is so wholesome ❤️

I guess I looked at it from a friend's pov.

If my friend was hurt by her boyfriend's family (SU knew about the slap/scam leak), I wouldn't immediately agree to help her boyfriend just because he *thinks* that he can help her.

JH may be straight forward, but his family is formidable. It's a known fact that even in reality chaebol families can practically destroy people (example Samsung family and one of their ex daughters in law).

Even if JH truly wants to help DR, SU as a friend would be cautious to make sure JH actually can walk the walk before dragging DR bacj into his messed up family's 💩.

I feel for Jun too - their friendship is so precious🥲

I hope SU can compromise. Just because he doesn't want to date her doesn't mean he should split their friendship (specially seeing how Jun's quite sensible for his age).

I guess the fact that HY's mum did end up getting the confiscated gifts back from SU hints that SU might not be so strict in the future?🙊
Boundaries are good since he's not ready to have a relationship. And specially since Jun is involved, he can't force himself either. But I can't see any reason why they can't continue being friends (specially since HY too finally seems to be ready to respected SU's wishes).🙈

Haha I see what you mean. It's rather weird to jump to the conclusion that you meant that 2 C-actors look similar = being racist 😅😅😅

I actually didn't even realize the ML is the same ML from Go Ahead at first glance (which is something seeing as his Go Ahead character is so iconic too) .What does that make me?🤣

People need to chill- it doesn't have to be that deep🙃

My interpretation of it was that the first time JH said, it sounded like an excuse(in SU's pov) but the second time he repeated it, he sounded more convincing. It's not vague evidence that could mayyy be help her hut actual evidence.

(Sorry if I sound confusing, it's hard to explain what I felt exactly)🙈

You do have a point 🙈

I hope they don't though. I liked how SU handled her mother today. If they give them a hasty ending after all the drama we had with the second couple, it would be too much 🙈

Honestly it would be better if he picks her up from the airport after a few years.🙈 HY deserves a fresh start away from her crazy family. By the time she is done with her degree, Seon U too would be in a better mindset/ less baggage.

No where to go as in a place private where she won’t get recognized. Since she has to frequently meet with the lawyers (and perhaps other parties), if the chairman found out she was upto something, he might have found a way to block their plans.

Now that they have found a resolution (JH found evidence last week for example+ ep 14 preview), the mother can stay anywhere she wants again. She’s probably setup at a hotel like JH originally planned.
(We might get more information tomorrow as well).

To be fair SU didn’t know that JH had concrete evidence that can help clear her name before JH told him clearly. He just thought that JH was being a clingy entitled ex (and I’m almost certain Da Rim probably already told him not to share her location).

Probably another safe house or she no longer needs to meet the lawyers anymore (since that was her main reason to stay away) -seems like it’s the latter based on ep 14’s preview.

Oh wait, at the beginning of ep 13, the mum specifically said that JH’s confession to DR’s mum was the perfect going away gift or something like that. So she anyway left long before the scandal.

I don’t think I’ve watched any Asian dramas based in the desert.🤔 The Mongolian steppes look so breathtaking so I can see why you love it!❤️

The Long Ballad - ooh I wanted to check this out a while back but some of the comments made me pause (this was years ago before I found my groove this year with Historical Cdramas). Will check it out! Does it have a satisfactory ending? I saw “war” as one of the main tags so I hope not too many beloved characters get 💀🙈

Thanks for the heads up on Everlasting Longing-I’ll checkout the fan edits later this week since I’m currently watching “Hotelier” (yes, i couldn’t resist my curiosity)🤭

Are there any new Cdramas out that are worth trying?

“Hotelier” surprisingly doesn’t feel dated eventhough it’s from 2001 - aside from the technology of course. The cast is mature for the most part so you don’t have unnecessary juvenile melodrama from the Main cast as of ep 10 at least (compared to modern dramas). The romance is less than what the fan edits promised though since it’s a side plot. More focused on life in a hotel that’s at risk of being acquired a.k.a Hospital Playlist - hotel edition 😉

Edit: I spoke too soon- the melodrama starts after ep 11 🤣

After all the doom and gloom the comments section has been suffering since last week’s preview, personally I feel at least this time, the reason behind is more understandable.

You can’t call Da Rim stupid when she has absolutely no idea that Ji Hye is a snake. Ordinary people do not imagine that family can go this low just for a company seat. Besides, in public JiHye had been quite nice to her so far so she had no reason to expect anything underhanded from her.

Even if it is a thrope, the justification is fair enough. Then again when was the last time K-romcoms were thrope free eh?

You can watch both episodes together. Ep 13’s preview kind of covered the highlights.
It ends in a positive note though- JH is ready for the kill and has his heart in tact (if you get what I mean) so I feel you might enjoy it more if you watch them together :)

It must have been one hell of a story to make you want to continue! Usually it's the opposit🙈

This actually makes sense. As his wife, his creditors would definitely target her too only unlike with Da Rim, there's no black card to protect her 🙈

Haha thanks! I try your suggestion.

Lol even I usually use fan edits to watch dramas if i'm curious but not thaaaaat curious enough to watch the entire drama 🙈

CIL is definitely a hidden gem. A drama made for awkward people 🙈

Haha enjoy! If you can't find the link, let me know.

Exactly. I feel there's no real point of getting mad at Da Rim for initiating the lie simply because you personally think lieing is wrong and unforgivable since the drama never tried to trick the audience to expect anything else. The MDL plot summary clearly says that Da Rim lied about her marrital status to get the job. So we always had the choice to decide if we wanted to watch a drama that would revolve around a complicated lie. Alternatively, if the audience was also supposed to find out that she was lying only in ep 9 along with Ji Hyeuk, it would have been more acceptable to get so mad at her because she lied to the audience as well.

We can feel frustrated with Da Rim for taking so long to reveal the truth but there's no point getting mad at her for initiating the lie just because you strongly hate liars and cannot tollerate it no matter why they lied. 🙈


(Honestly the MDL plot summary makes Da Rim's first kiss sound so much worse than it actually is since she kissed him before she joined the company so if anything the plot summary promised something even more messy than it actually is).
