so .... this series really took me by surprise ... and when you think that I didn't even want to watch it ... hmmmmmm ...... it's very refreshing, I really like the scams, and it's really funny ... I really laughed I didn't expect this trio to make such a good team (Park Min Young + Park Hee Soon + Joo Jong Hyuk) ... and I think Joo Jong Hyuk is on an upward slope ... he's really playing well
so how can I say this ... it's not the best series but not the worst either and somehow I can't stop watching it ... somehow it keeps me hooked :))))))))))
how disappointing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... it started so promising and then the conspiracies, betrayals and psychological mind games it turned into chaebol-family conflicts ... and everyone focused on the love relationship between the main characters, when theoretically that shouldn't even be the main subject (or there shouldn't even be a love relationship in such a series) ... but still the recipe of 2 beautiful people having sex still works (give people sex and they won't pay attention to the rest) ...... so disappointing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ..... effectively the last 2 episodes were so chaotic, some things really made no sense ... such a shame about the budget that was invested in this series
thank you for answering me... I really didn't ask the question to insult anybody, but because I saw in every drama that it's practiced like that and I was seriously wondering why... regarding shoes, here you should know that it's pretty much everywhere in normal houses, in normal people house's who clean themselves - it's normal not to bring dirt from outside all over the house... for this reason the hallway was invented... including in Americans, in the houses of normal people and me, they set up a small hallway at the entrance to leave their outdoor shoes and slippers... only American films introduced this barefootness into the house, so as not to waste time - and even in Asian films you notice that they don't sit down to break in perfectly, they just put their shoes on like that and go out the door so as not to ruin the scene (well... now if you live in a house with servants and you don't clean yourself... that's different, or if you have guests coming to your house, most of the time you let them in wear shoes, as they say it's part of the code of good manners
Can someone tell me why in all the dramas we see them washing their hair fully clothed??? why don't they wash their hair when they take a shower? or is the hair on their heads more important than what happens on their armpits or other places?
.. is this a love drama??????? .Yes?? Did you miss the romance genre attached to this?
and then the whole American part with politics - what are they doing in this series??? ... come on!!!!!!! ... everything is focused only on their relationship ... already the whole budget with the submarine and the Americans are secondary ... like ... what are we talking about?????????? obviously I saw from the beginning that there was also romance when they were rubbing against each other on the chair when there was a bomb under her / them / him ............... but already the topic from politics and war and the main topic moved to ... to ... the feelings between the 2 of them ... why was so much money spent if that was the goal anyway ... so many super mega famous American actors to appear for 1 second when otherwise they have to kiss in the water when that guy is bleeding from his shoulder ... I mean .... you really don't see the IRONY / SARCASM in what I said???
-Oh ... Come on ... WHAT IS THIS??? ... is this a love drama??????? ... The way they jumped into the water ... and then kissing while the blood drained from his shoulder ... Like ... REALLY???????? SERIOUSLY????? - and many scenes on the cliff it's very clear that they weren't real - first the sound, then the images, then the breeze barely blowing in their hair, but behind it was the storm at sea ... :)))))))))))))
am I mean? ... or is it just me? ... but it feels like I'm watching an American series with Korean actors ... I actually have the feeling that I've seen so many American films with exactly the same narrative thread done in the same way .............. I don't know ... it's like the American side actually stands out in this Korean series :))))))))))))
Wow ... what image!!!!, what sound!!!, what production!!!!... what actors!!!!... and wow... what fight scenes!!! everything is first class........ it just seems to me that it's a more Americanized production - I don't know why it gives me this vibe - I mean it's clear that we have a collaboration between Americans and Koreans, yet it seems to me that there's more of the American vibe in this drama. the attraction between ML + FL was rather fast and intense... she was literally on the edge of her seat - she could die, but when they switched seats you could see in their eyes what was on their minds: "dirty mind, dirty mind" (not to mention that her husband hasn't been dead for a long time) and this usually happens in American movies but the production and fight scenes... absolutely wow
so no no no no ... they forced themselves not to force the characters in the movie to start a romantic relationship ....... like you can't tell me that it's normal to spend the whole day with your boss taking care of 2 little girls, going shopping with them, laughing and cooking dinner ... etc and then looking each other in the eyes ... or ... to go with the same 2 little girls and the boss's dog to the park to have fun ... a whole day ..... or is it normal to tell your boss that you miss his dog?????????? let's see how our bosses would react if we told them that we miss their dog ....................... like ... seriously??? ....... and the discussion at the end about love???? like ... what does love mean to each of us???? like let's see if we're compatible or not???? what are we talking about here???
Oooooooooooooooo… so as much as I loved the first 10 episodes, that’s exactly how much I disliked the last 2… so:
Kang Hyo Min’s mother handed over her own daughter to relatives to raise because she wasn’t “perfect” – she had a hearing impairment. But then, in episode 10, she adopts a deaf kitten and cries her heart out when it refuses to eat… yet she doesn’t give a single thought to her own daughter.
Yun Seok Hun and Kang Hyo Min – honestly, they’re just playing “happy family” – for the second time – with two twins who are complete strangers: the younger sisters of Kang Hyo Min’s colleague. Like… what even is this? And when they all meet for dinner, they act as if it’s their very first time seeing each other outside work… “Oh my, you’re younger, I’m your boss…” SERIOUSLY? And what exactly were you doing before when you were babysitting the 2 kids?
And Yun Seok Hun’s ex-wife – oooooooooooooo… I don’t even know where to start… she traumatised the poor man, made him believe he wasn’t the one she wanted a child with, left him alone to suffer for years… only to finally tell him the reason later. A reason that, if she’d shared from the very beginning, maybe they wouldn’t have even divorced, maybe he wouldn’t have suffered so much, maybe he wouldn’t have blamed himself endlessly, and maybe the poor man would already have a child by now. Basically, a classic case of miscommunication – straight out of a K-drama.
Oh, and let’s not forget the ending… when Kang Hyo Min’s twin sister shows up, all shy, giving gifts to their mother for the freshly adopted cat. But her mother – aka the “aunt” – had no idea she could speak… and yet she speaks way too clearly for someone who can’t hear and only lip-reads. And then everyone bursts into tears and hugs… SERIOUSLY???? REALLY… how on earth are you meant to feel when you find out your mum gave you away to relatives just because you were born deaf, but kept your sister because she was “perfect”? SERIOUSLY??????????????
And that final conversation between Yun Seok Hun and Kang Hyo Min about love… the two of them “accidentally” meeting and talking as if they were making love confessions. Honestly, I can’t stand this trend of leaving endings open… I NEED A FINAL THAT IS FINAL. I need closure.
omg!!! it took me by surprise ... so the way THE QUEEN plays ... absolutely wonderful! she owns it! and the scene where she tried to kill Seo Gu-wan ... wonderful ... including the way she smelled her hands at the end ... like she smelled the scent of her attempted murder ... she clearly misses it ... everyone plays very well ... I'm so into this!!!!
