I agree with your sentiments.. Not too thrilled about her return, but she too must make a living, learn from her…
It's been a while since I read/watched about the scandal also! I'd forgotten where I heard/read it.
When I went back to find where, I learned I was mistaken about the fact it was an Ex-BF. I'm sorry I remembered incorrectly T-T
It was just a reporter/YouTuber's allegations about Seo Ye Ji. He said 'Seo Ye Ji is someone who needs all attention on her, the style where she must be a Queen' and that '[her personality] is most closest to tvN Drama It's Okay Not To Be Okay.'
I searched up the reporter, 김용호 (Kim, Yong Ho) and I came across news articles from just 10~16 hours ago that he was taken for questioning (with two others) in relation to a YouTube channel called '가세연.'
It looks like they're in for cyber defamation. South Korea's defamation laws allow people to sue for defamation, even if it's about the truth. The focus is on the damage and losses rather than whether or not they spread lies.
Lots of YT comments in support of them, but also lots of comments against them. Looks like they were well-known for reporting about politics, entertainment industry, etc. :X

I'm not excusing what she did. Her character is no secret - looking back at interviews, behind-the-scene scenes, and talk shows - it's obvious she makes A LOT of people uncomfortable.
As for SK's societal issues - can't argue with you there. Even if they're progressing, changes are still slow. Rich/Famous people get away with a slap on the hand. Netizens' efforts to 'cancel' her doesn't work. And she still has fans who defend her. K-Entertainment will still hire her (as they have here).
Ultimately, we'll continue to see her. We can only hope she 'grows up' and becomes a better person. Some people don't change, but others do.
They better not do a 10 min recap on ep 14 like they did ep 13 and 12
Right? Hahaha 10 min recap (or showing things in a different POV but no actual story progression) certainly has been a theme for the last few episodes T____T pls writer y u do this
People need to realise celebrities can be talented AND have shitty personalities at the same time. Her actions…
I agree with your sentiments.. Not too thrilled about her return, but she too must make a living, learn from her mistakes, and move on.
South Korea holds people in the limelight (actors, actresses, singers, celebs, idols, anyone in public spotlight) to a Higher standard, almost expecting them to be "perfect."
At the same time, the entertainment industry still hires talents for their, well, talent. Despite the scandals about her character/personality and personal life, her acting skill is great. She's paid to act.
People will still want to watch entertaining shows. This drama is not just her work, but all the people whose name we don't even know but that shows up in the credits :/
Why does suryun look so scared when she tries to shoot (fake) JDT?
Suryun is a kind person. However, when she saw how the justice system failed her + (fake) JDT's continued evil, criminal behavior, she decided to take it upon herself to stop him once and for all.
(1) Considering she would be ending the life of her son's biological father ~and~ (2) how JDT's finger is on the bomb button, she may be hesitant/scared.
For (1): In the past, she said she would NEVER allow her children to witness the death of their father in front of them. They aren't anywhere nearby, so maybe this isn't why she is scared.
For (2): In movie-land-logic, if someone's hand is on a trigger, there's a high chance that they may (even at death), press/pull the trigger as a reflex?? I'm not sure if this is true, but that's another possibility.
lmfao, the secret door that opens to basement, but I still dk how tho???
That sounds dangerous lol, tall building collapsing down to the ground... Unless the basement was built to be like a bomb shelter, impervious to all shorts of weights and damage o_O??
Parachute or helicopter maybe? There are two large windows open...
Just a PSA for Episode 12:112 is a phone number to report a crime to the police. It isn't a personal phone number.…
There are some people who are speculating Secretary Jo (his last call to 112) is to Yoonhee or Logan. This can't be true because he was simply calling the emergency number, similar to 911 in USA.
The camera may have zoomed into the 112 number to emphasize how Logan/Sooryeon are unaware of a potential bombing as (fake) Dante's attack. We'll find out in Episode 13 whether the two overcome this!
All he was able to say was "I'm calling to report a bomb –" before getting hit in the head and thrown off the building. The call center respondent would not know whom to warn about a potential bombing.
It also explains Sooryeon/Logan's panic and hurried evacuation of guests the moment (fake) Dante announced bombs installed.

She was lovely in her other recent kdrama too (Devil Judge)
Oh geez..
The name sounded similar to Yoon Hee but it wasn't Yoon Hee's name.
Similar sounding names like: Estelle and Estella... or Tina and Nina... or Hyun Soo and Joon Soo. Sounds similar but are very different.

It's so cool to see Kdramas add fantasy elements..!!
*jaw drop* omg

As for Dantae, his adrenaline's probably keeping pain at bay or manageable levels.
