no wonder! but there are still many c-dramas where the FL is a doormat so nothing has changed lol

This was a great comedy.

After watching 2 episodes:
Jae Min is a hypocrite, he is allowed to sleep around but his fiancée can't even meet her boyfriend.
Soo Jung wants both men and knows how to use Kin Wook, who is ready to be used as he is dying for some love.
Yeong Joo is vulgar and loud and the drama gives poverty as the excuse.

I liked how none of the characters are saints but the acting is so old school even though it came in 2004. I can't binge watch such dramas so it'll take some time to get rid of it.

hahaha I knew you would be tempted coz this drama's mother was horrible. Now imagine someone worse than her!

Finished 3 epi and had to drop. Every actor other than her were doing great but there's a limit to how much one can ignore the main cast and try to finish a drama.

Even I had almost dropped it, but for now have put it on pause and will binge watch this weekend.

That's what I understand from such dramas. If the FL would remove toxic ppl from her life, how will the writer fill up 100s of episodes LOL

I haven't reached the scandal part and was already annoyed how her step-sister would insult her but the FL would keep on giving unwanted advice.

I haven't caught up with the recent epi. Started watching only a couple of days bac, so clearly she'll keep on being around those toxic people no matter what. I'm at the point where she is successful and yet takes crap from her so-called sister, keeps giving unwanted advice, care and attention.
But yea, I understand that when they have to fill up so many episodes the writer will make a FL who won't have any self-respect for a lot of episodes, then have her move out, then back to them for more drama lol

Thanks everyone for replying!

There are some dramas where even I accept the nonsense and watch but it's coz they are fun. Here the mother would increase my BP hahaha

I've been skipping a lot on the episodes so maybe I missed the reason why the FL tolerates all the insults and abuse from her step-sister and step-mom. She is a financially independent woman and can easily move out and live a happy life. Can someone please let me know?

I recently dropped the k-drama 'Beauty and Mr. Romantic', after that mother this one is tame lol

exactly! and why does she need glasses? It's the same old story where women shouldn't wear specs to look pretty so she get rid of them and sort out her hair as part of the makeover.
The moment I sensed that she'll go back to her &^%* mother, I dropped it. I really liked the actors but the drama started ruining my mood instead of entertaining me...

I was kinda enjoying the drama before the amnesia track, but it's as if the FL lost her marbles along with her memory. Even her acting like a countryside woman comes across as fake. I'll fast forward these episodes.

The story and acting were good but marred by a weak FL.

The FL kept begging the ML the entire time, not able to do anything, no matter what. The episode where she pretended to be raped was so obvious that it was funny instead of being anything unique or surprising.

As usual, the ML would turn her into his maid then forcibly kiss her. She would think she has control but would end up crying and begging him, again. The begging happened so many times that I just lost interest. If they make a 2nd season they better give some brains and self respect to the woman who doesn't need to beg the entire time.

Acting was not bad, one of the few chinese FLs who talked like a normal woman instead of a 5 year old.

But she FL had no dignity. ML's mom repeatedly insulted her, he didn't care much about it and later on, even the FL was like, it's ok you did it coz of your son. I seldom find FLs in these dramas who have self-respect and do not allow anyone to insult them just coz they are in love.

The MIL later claimed she didn't care about the FL's family background but it's only when we found out that the FL comes from a rich family. I understand the rush to whitewash the mom coz how can his mommy remain a nasty old woman lol

true

hahaha yes instead of thanking her lucky stars that at least she found out the guy is a cheater. why fight for a person who doesn't respect you, let alone love.

Common sense would say you hit your husband/bf coz he is the one who promised to be faithful and cheated, not that other woman. Maybe such women get jealous and angry thinking 'what does she have that he left me for her'

I roll my eyes when women fight with each other while the guy enjoys 2 women fighting over him.
If it was me, I would kick out the guy and tell the mistress to keep the trash. If he can cheat on me then he will cheat on her as well, so good riddance lol

thank you!
