the princess is pissing me off, and i've tried to look at it open mindedly but i just can't.. she wants her wishes…
Her saying she fell in love with him because he didn't needlessly murder her the only time she met him was actually a clue to the lack of braincells functioning in that head of hers.
Finally made myself finish this. Everyone who died in the end deserved it, even though not everyone I wanted to die actually did. I thoroughly enjoyed this for Chen He Yi's portrayal of Xia Jing Shi. His story was the main reason I watched this even if that arc had the most annoying character in the drama. He lost it a little in the final episode though (just for plot) and that was disappointing.
Like almost everyone here, I'm yelling "just get a divorce" at my screen but maybe for different reasons. It's obvious that Ju Yeong and her husband are not on the same wavelength. Neither of them is happy in that marriage but they keep enduring for whatever reason. I'd love for them to get divorced if only so Ju Yeong doesn't become an alcoholic. Also, as much as she wants to have a child, a baby is a terrible reason to stay married.
As for Na Jeong, I'm not so sure her husband is cheating. I haven't been on board that train from the beginning. He may be a total jackass, but I don't think he's cheating. It feels like he's covering for someone, either because of his job or because he admires the person - and I think it's their scuzzy boss. Which would also explain why the director hasn't said anything about it.
My rating for this would've been higher if they hadn't made the old man some sort of indestructible inhuman creature. I don't care how good he is or what his reputation was, at his geriatric age, you cannot tell me the man got blown up, thrown through multiple buildings, had his entire behind kicked by dozens of thugs, and was still sprinting away! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also, it felt like I was watching 2 different films at one point cos it suddenly turned very bloody? That's not the way it was introduced. It was fun in the end though.
I finished the latest episode a few days ago, and honestly? I’ve been chewing on it ever since. Something about…
As much as Asami tends to internalise everything and has trouble sharing, it's also the fact that Yuki seems completely out of tune with him. I don't think anyone expects him to solve Asami's problems really, but he is so oblivious that Asami may as well not even be in a relationship. I'd like something that shows that Yuki even knows that something is bothering Asami even if he doesn't know what or how to help, but instead they've made it such that unless it directly affects him, he seems never to notice. That's the part that irks me. They live together now so it should be easier to see but Yuki is still in his own bubble and doesn't look up until he crashes into something.
Being in a relationship with someone who doesn't share can be infuriating but it requires more work and Yuki hasn't put in any work yet.
Shirasaki's actions in this episode really bothered me. If I were in a relationship, I'd be more mindful of personal…
Sometimes it feels like Shirasaki has no interest in Asami beyond how Asami makes him feel. Asami has been going through a lot for a few episodes now and Kurosaki is too self-involved to notice. It's so sad.
When Asami said living up to others' expectations for him is his job and so he does it, I couldn't help but think that even when he goes home after work, he still has to do that. He always wants to please Shirasaki even when he doesn't agree with him or believe in what he's doing. It's not sustainable in the long run and I hope this changes soon (I'm only on ep 5).
It feels like Shirasaki is so busy trying to "measure up" that he doesn't really care about anything else and didn't notice the severe conflict going on with his partner. Really sad. I hope he grows out of this before it becomes catastrophic for their relationship.
On another note, I really dislike Asami's agent. I don't think she is all that invested in his best interests. When she was reminiscing about how he always used to do as he was told, I got a very icky feeling.
sorry, did they forget what happened in episode 11, i mean the grandma had a murderer embezzler son in law that…
The fact that grandma talked about how she's an excellent judge of character when she kept a fraud and a murderer next to her for decades! I expected her to tell the ex family to get out cos none of that matters. Instead they just wanted to add another unnecessary cliche.
The final nail in the coffin for me was the fact that she waited until the end basically to submit those divorce papers. She didn't need new papers. She didn't need something from the ex that would have justified a delay. She just... Didn't do it. I expected that to be done as soon as they confessed to the Beaute guy. And yet... I also didn't like that the last episode devoted so much time to her ex and his skeezy family. None of it was earned and ultimately it just pmo.
The script is dumb and it DOES depend on the audience being dumb. For example, the trope of "lying to save…
The ex is dragging at this point to me. The prospect of being caught in a fraud with both of their reputations at stake is already enough. The ex organising a news conference is so ridiculous I can't even get into it. That plot line should have been sorted out since, I mean, we only have 12 episodes.
This show is unintentionally hilarious istg. What do you mean Jessica/Sylvia teleported to the hospital, got the drugs and uniform ready, and snapped to merc grandma in the blink of an eye??? Did she have the nurse uniform in her to go bag from the US just in case? LMAO.
Also the camera ZOOMING IN on the kid's toy like we're all stupid and couldn't have figured that out made me LOL.
Someone already pointed out how stupid it was that all the revelations and answers came from idiotic happenstance but I must say it's extra ridiculous that Woo Ju asked someone in the US to investigate the shady company and the writer didn't think that was enough of a thread to pull on and expose the uncle's affair and dealings. I expected that they'd send Woo Ju pictures from when the uncle was last in the US, and not that Meri's random sibling who was just thrown into the show 2 seconds ago would SOMEHOW be connected to Jessica and bring the whole thing down! That's the part that pmo. I hate stupid scripts and this one isn't just stupid but it's also calling its viewers dunces as well.
The fact that Meri's ex is still a factor in this show at this point makes me want to drop this thing but I'm going to power through the final episodes because why the hell not 🙄
I was enjoying the show, but some things started to get repetitive. They'd say x catastrophe is happening and our mains may not survive or may be irreparably damaged, and then every time like clockwork, an antidote or solution appears. By the end there were no stakes at all and I felt very little watching the final battles.
Then, SCH's fight scenes were whittled down to almost nonexistent. I started to wonder if the actor may have had issues during filming. Maybe he didn't have the time or maybe he hurt himself, cos why am I watching so many random flashbacks and scenes of minor characters giving useless speeches when I could be watching SCH be great???
She said she was going to come clean to the director so they wouldn't have the lie hanging over them anymore, so why is she still chilling in the house what seems like a week later? Coming clean would actually remove any leverage anyone wanted to use against them so what even is the point of this upcoming plot line?
We all knew the ex was going to find out and use it against her but since she said she was ready to face the consequences, why isn't she actually taking steps to do that? Like packing up her things... Looking for a new place... Anything really.
How are you gonna blame the kid when your son was the one driving the car and looking backwards??? Dude had his entire family in his car and couldn't keep his eyes on the road? ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
As for the doctor friend... It's obvious that this man doesn't think of her romantically. I need her to kindly move on and stop being so cringe. The ex can go jump in a lake or something with his mother and sister.
Finally, isn't this the mother of all childhood connections? They met as kids, we're each others "first love", AND probably had their dads murdered by the same dude! Holy coincidence, Batman! It's funny to me that the uncle hasn't changed his murder weapon of choice in forever. Still trusting in the steady hum of the white truck of death.
The most ridiculous thing about this show is the fact that the president-elect and his family have zero security and randoms can just come to her house whenever they like and roam about. 🤣🤣🤣
I think this is the first time that I'm watching a drama and I'm more invested in the villain's story than that of the leads. Credit to the actor cos I really feel all XJS' choices have been painful and against his wishes. He's not cartoonishly evil, or obviously crazy & delusional. He seems like a more refined version of the actor's character from TPR.
I've been struggling to connect with FSG especially - I don't know what it is or why I can't, but that's made his plot line almost meaningless to me. I don't get why he fell for FYX so quickly, and I don't really feel anything when he's onscreen. This is definitely a meeting thing, and I'm pushing through it lol.
Currently on ep 18 and the idiot sister did what was expected. Truly don't understand the trope of "you once looked in my direction so now I am madly in love with you" that these dramas use for 2nd female leads all the time. What do you mean you've betrayed your entire family and country for a random man????? Yikes.
When Xu Yan said she wants to be the source of her own happiness, I'm fully convinced a lot of viewers weren't paying attention lol.
I was actually annoyed when SHM showed up with the Russian guy's wife at the crucial moment when Xu Yan was negotiating with her suppliers. A lot of "she owes it all to her husband" vibes in these comments are the same as with those suppliers. No one was saying SHM owes everything to Xu Yan when she was moving in the background, building relationships with potential partners and getting them to look at her husband and give him their business.
Anyway, I can see they're trying to make us forget that he hasn't even apologised or reflected on the things he did and said to her, and I guess it's working for most of the audience. We'll see how the rest of it plays out.
