Classic 'girl changes guy' k-drama trope.

For k-drama land, it's understandable.

I was fine with the potential permanence of Joonwan and Iksoon's breakup.
Then Ikjoon played fate: had them reunite and hint at Iksoon's health issue.

I understand why he chose to do that, and ultimately didn't mind it. It was clear that Joonwan hadn't moved on. Iksoon clearly still loves Joonwan also.

Buuuuuut~ I just hope the two (Iksoon especially) can grow together. They need to work on a lot of things, especially communication.

It seems this drama is going for the “girl changes guy” trope where the guy is trash (a player, womanizer, etc) but the FL somehow is “the one” to bring about real, genuine love from his heart.

So million red flags aside, the writers are trying to convince viewers that Jae Eon’s feelings are true.

This is one of those daily dramas, we're in for a lot of frustration, sadness, minor victories followed by vicious losses, up until the last 2 or 3 episodes where the protagonist finally wins. :(

Ever watch the anime, Code Geass?

Yo Han seems to be like Lelouch. Actually kind-hearted and good on the inside, but on the outside, comes across as an evil, self-righteous individual.

Or like Vincenzo where the lead becomes just as harsh to take down even bigger, badder foes.

Both Yo Han and Vincenzo aren't restrained by police procedures or court formalities. They do all they can to bring the bad guys down. This presents as a moral dilemma for viewers: is vigilantism and bending/breaking rules okay when going after rich, bad people? Hm.

I feel bad for agreeing but sometimes his acting does cause a break in the immersion. It's not horribly bad though..

Really hope that's not how it plays out. Didn't Eunbyeol want her mother to come clean? I feel bad for her cause she's surrounded by adults who claim to have her best interests in mind, when really, they're hurting her. Maybe Eunbyeol will suffer the worst of side effects of that drug.. It'd be a punishment to her parents.

Regular broadcasting will resume Monday, August 9 (in KST)

It was on hold due to Olympic games/coverage

Yeah, refusing to go out for meals (회식: dining together) and turning down drink offers? They would likely be made a 왕따 (loner/outcast) and probably fired in the future. Higher ups may even take offense at those refusals. Couple this with the culture of authority (respect demanded based on age), it can get pretty toxic in the workplace.

I heard this changed a lot nowadays, so things are improving over there. I just heard stories from my parents.

I cracked up at that part LOL
He said it all so nonchalantly too hahaha

Mean mother-in-law isn't always just a cliche in Korea. It's a reality for many people..

It's tough for everyone to deal with his mother - her personality!! Even her friend knows and tries to set her straight lol

Feels like a Thriller show so far. Not a Makjang xD

No wonder the title says 비극(tragedy)... T___T

Yea... And it makes no sense to me why she would follow 'em so willingly, without questioning who the are or what their motives are for seeking her out.

How can she just trust them? -___-;

Min Seolah is dead dead too
No one survives a fall from that height..

Then again.. Logan survived a car bombing when it was right next to him soooo anythings possible in dramaland lol

Dangg
I read two spoilers before hiding it again lol

Thank you fangirldailylife and Chenhope!

What does Ga Young have?
And why did he marry her to 'treat' (help her through) it?

Enjoyed it overall
Skipped (or fast forwarded) a lot of episodes in between though
