BD had me on the floor with those insults at the beginning my god there's a lot to say about this woman but the one thing you can't is that she's spineless, because those insults... "After I told you he wasn't even that good in bed?" HAD ME ROLLING

bpd does fit her tbh, like fear of abandonment, having a favorite person, early trauma... it's entirely possible

Yeah, I know but it's still a relatively strong drama acting/directing wise, so it's sad to see that go undervalued because people feel the need to downvote it just because of their feelings over the topic :/

The amount of daddy issues ES has is actually insane like each time she says smth to NC it's DRIPPING with it... I mean she literally asked NC if he only cares about his kids and what about her... Girl those are his KIDS...

I agree. Let's hope that the fact this is 20 episodes instead of 16 might help the writers wrap it up properly

Not the rating dropping lower... 🔪😭

He's in a marriage where he's been continuously left out of decisions (moving in BD's mom, BD's father's debt...) and then here comes EK, providing him with attention and validating his emotions - but that's not reason enough to fall in love with her (unless this is a repeat performance of NC/ES). You're right on that he doesn't seem like the kind of man who would waste a woman's time. I just found this phrasing odd, but it could very well be that it just got lost in translation

I didn't even think of that! Would've been cool if it was some literature drop, but I guess it makes sense, given their conversation

Anyone else wondered about the quote CW said to EK? "I couldn't help but kneel in front of someone who understood and knew me." To me this very much translated as like, he doesn't love her/wants to be with her, but it's rather just how he's attracted to her because she pays attention to him/"sees" him, which would make sense, since BD has proven to be a pretty absent wife and mother

It's a friendship necklace - both EK and BD have one, around the end of Ep1 they even put it together and I think it makes a heart or something

I think EK is a pretty good example of the machiavellian personality, actually. She fits all the boxes one would have to check for it and SJH is absolutely amazing at portraying this slow descent into "madness"

Fiction is good because it allows us to see and explore mindsets and events that wouldn't fly in real life. It's really not worth the time to rib on and on about why a fictional action is wrong because at the end of the day it's not the point of the story. The point is what drives these people. Finding yourself empathizing with EK and the rest of them is because, like you said, you're getting to see it from their perspective. It shows that while we love to think that things are black and white, most things in life are in the gray area when we get all sides of the story. Kinda like the divide between emotivism and cognitivism in meta-ethics. Cognitivism works on the basis of true or false, and by extension right and wrong. Emotivism works off emotional attitudes which is what this show plays with.

The fact EK was like "I bet you wouldn't even care if I drowned" and then she tried to do just that... Honestly insane behavior and I ate it up like nothing else... And the way she was laughing?? Somebody book her a therapy appointment

It's not emotionally draining if you're not one of those people who can't separate fiction from reality – saying this cause most of the frustration I see here comes from how immoral this drama is. It's actually quite fun if you're not being too serious about the moral implications!

I guess he's probably gonna be the reason EK's plans won't work out cause there's no reason to bring him back otherwise. I wish he'd just crawl in a hole and die 😭😭😭

Also it's been said that they've been married for 7 years, I think so the kid is probably CW's... But then what could BD's secret be? I'm also waiting to find out what EK has on NC that he hired ES to begin with... I hope they'll explain these things and not just leave them as plotholes.
