I think something is wrong in the synopsis here its say she have a child but from the first two episodes they…
It’s too early to tell if she gave birth. Maybe,the child died leading to the divorce and we have not gotten to that part of the story?? I’m hoping she didn’t have a child with that shady ex-husband.
It’s a 9/10 for So Ji Sub and their social media networking which is better that most spy networks! Overall, 8/10 because of the cuteness in the drama.
I dropped it a few times because the middle dragged too much for only a 16 episode drama. But, l liked the actors and wanted to finish it to see justice for the good guys. The ending is better than the beginning even though it felt cramped, i.e., too many plot hole closures in a short period. Worth watching once. Prepare to fast forward during the middle.
Author Chen is from a “royal family” wrt to Chinese film/TV industry. His father, Chen Kaige directed one of my favorite movies (not just Chinese) of all time, Farewell My Concubine! It’s a classic winning best film awards worldwide. Author Chen will get opportunities for TV and film projects and will do well. (I’ve seen him at 9 years old in the movie Sacrifice. He did well even back then. He’s just barely starting out. But, he will be missed in the second season.

This type of crazy nonsensical Asian melodrama is done best by Koreans! Everyone and every event is so extra! The good guys are so sweet there should be halos over them. The bad guys are so callous they can barely be called human and I love them the most! They are hilarious and I’m only up to episode 4! It’s worth giving it go and don’t take it too seriously.
Feels like this is dragging and it’s only 16 episodes. The sequence of events, and the timing when releasing the clues are off. It leads to confusion and only 2 episodes remain. The characters seem as confused as the viewers even after the clues are laid out. The cast is great. The writing is just average.
The old man went along with the identity swap because he didn’t want to see one son dead at the hands of another…
No one knew the real Ki San got married while he was studying in the USA until he came back with his pregnant wife. The old man was not happy the woman had no status. The mother died in childbirth. The only way to explain the sudden infant appearing is for the grandfather to play like Yoo Jin was his son from some affair instead of his grandson.
Definitely worth watch if you like gangster movies with more comedy than violence. This is one of the rare Korean dramas where the tall model looking guy is not the lead. He wasn’t missed! The movie is very entertaining! The highlights are the comedy brought out by the Korean translator and soft hearted Korean gangsters, the outfits and the Billy Ray Cyrus-like (business in the front, party in the back) hairstyle of the lead character, Gi Chul! Just a touch of romance comes late at the exit. The gangster fights and car chases in both Korea and Hong Kong are as expected. Lead actress Shu Qi’s acting experience shines throughout. She was fluid in her fight scenes even though the tougher fights had stunt doubles, as expected. Ignore the emphasis on the missing mother as laid out in the description. That arc is insignificant almost non-existence.
I have binge watched the first ten episodes and I find the series enjoyable but its a bit confusing, it's like…
The old man went along with the identity swap because he didn’t want to see one son dead at the hands of another son be all over the news. He didn’t want to see the last son in prison with no one to raise the grandson, Yoo Jin, the one he always wanted to take over the company. Plus, the company’s reputation would be trash. His empire would crumble. I’m not sure if the old man had a hand in killing off or firing all the people who knew the difference between the two sons. He under estimated his killer son since Chu confined the old man to a hospital where he could only see his grandson on special visits and no other visitors.
Hae Yi is giving up everything including the defibrillator and Yoo Jin to prevent her dirty reputation from being exposed. I assume the CEO will try to swap Yoo Jin into his quadriplegic son’s body. The CEO is determined to make that useless murderer walk again even through body swapping! This gets more makjang by the minute!
Author Chen will get opportunities for TV and film projects and will do well. (I’ve seen him at 9 years old in the movie Sacrifice. He did well even back then.
