And my favorite thing is when the awful stepbrother is always swearing up and down the pike that he is going to kill the leads this time and how it fails every time. Just so great. Whenever he's on screen I am talking smack to him the whole time. What a putz.
Late to the game on this one and I am loving it. I struggled a bit early on when He Yan was not in General mode, as I found her character off putting with all the batting of the eyes and trying to finagle Xiao Jue all over the place. But when General mode hits, this show is pure fire. And I really do love the pace of their relationship. I thought I would be frustrated at the slow burn but not at all. I will be sad to see it end.
I'm loving this show don't get me wrong however witnessing the struggle upon struggle, the bad triumph over the…
I'm with you about the anxiety from watching all the struggles. I grit my teeth and know it will work out somehow. I do like how the show balances it, though. I am beginning to trust in the director a bit more each episode.
Because they're mostly volunteer subbed/segmented and give credit to the people and work that goes into that.…
100% yes to all of this!!! Thank you to all the folks sub-titling the shows on Viki and a special thanks for how fast this show is getting to our screens,
He would tell her how angry he is for sure but it would be interesting to see if he would treat her like he did…
I wouldn't use the word "suffer." For me, I want to see her understand the pain she caused and understand what she needs to do to assure TK if he wants to continue the relationship. I don't think her actions are unforgivable or outside the realm of normal human behavior.
I will say that the noble idiocy plot line is always a tough one for me, BUT... I gotta stick up for YD. Was her decision hurtful to those she loves? Yes, it was. Was she afraid for her baby (and TK) if she did not get out of that toxicity with JW? Maybe. Was she perhaps taking care of herself at the expense of others? Again, maybe. And if the last answer is yes, good for her. Her priority is the baby and herself. She, for sure, framed the letter to her family as a goodbye, but I keep coming back to her mom. All this time, she's been a fair weather parent, if you are good, I will love you, if you are not, then hell to pay. And even though YD obviously misses her mom, she calls her uncle when The Real is born, as he has always been on her side and rooted for her. Her mother cannot be trusted. And I absolutely support the mom's right to be as angry as possible at the ghosting but it might not have happened if she'd had made different choices. YD's choice was not made in a vacuum of selfishness. She was desperate.
And the real flaw in the writing will be if TK remains angelic as we move forward. Honestly, my expectations are low at this point. TK shouldn't blindly accept her back without telling her how devastated he was and being cautious about her future behavior. And YD should not have to prostrate herself with guilt in front of him. She took action that caused hurt to another and people make it past that all the time by apologizing, listening and making different choices. Fingers crossed.
Now I know how to put a round tablecloth on a round table :-)
I just had an epiphany on the tablecloth scene - they were making fun of this type of scene. Duh. Why does it take me so long to understand shit sometimes?
Here are some nicknames that my friend and I have cooked up as we text back and forth about the show:
Yoo Ra = Swamp Thing
Se Hyeok = Pie Face
Lee Jung Hye - Hatchet
Cha Yeon Hwa = Bouf (for the hairdo)
Do Na - Speed Racer
Jae Ho - Mork
