I've been watching this drama and so far I like it. Not a big fan of the ending theme, maybe it'll grow on me like the one for Secret House did. ML's mother is apparently a mistress. Not a fan of that. That aunt is also pure evil, she basically killed her own sister. The stepmother is gonna be the big bad of this daily. I also missed seeing Lee Seung-Yeon in a drama, I'm glad she's back. Many of the actors I know are here, and I adore Uhm Hyun-Kyung. As for Soo-Jung's dad- he's not coming back, he and the mom's actors were listed as guest performers in the credits. I love the adoptive dad too. I'm wondering if Young-Ae will go after Min Kyung-Hwa for revenge in the future. I'd also like to see the ex-chairman's illegitimate son. Looking forward to the next episodes. Good theory! It's definitely possible. I missed seeing you around chingu.

can you explain this who is the same age over here with the parent and child? Other than that let me get on with my main issue with the female lead. I don't know if this is the issue with the actress herself or how she is portraying the character. (I haven't been watching a lot of her dramas or they have been so apart that I can't confirm the accuracy). At times she tends to mumble her lines. Now as someone who doesn't understand Korean at all and relies on the subtitles it isn't really a major issue since we find out what she is saying anyway. It just feels off perhaps those that totally understand Korean might not have an issue and I am probably making a big deal out of nothing. next we have all these other interrelated stories as usual and I wonder how they will resolve them. Just look at the pairings that they are hinting us with. Female lead and Male lead have their own issues considering what the mother did to his family. But if we think that ends over there. Think again her brother seems to bump more often into the male leads cousin? also their drunken two nights together. The show is clearly hinting at this pairing. So it means that this family has really got its hurdles to overcome. Good luck in that department. At first it seemed like Mari's father may have known the truth about his wives past hence giving her chances to reveal the truth on her own. But maybe that isn't the case or was he further confirming the facts for himself by suggesting that Mari should marry the male lead. The issue people bring up with them wanting to marry of their daughter to a slimy older guy is understandable from a viewers point of view. But when it comes to a parent things are different. They need to get their daughter married because they know for a fact that they won't be around forever to look after her. Had Mari been okay mentally this wouldn't have been an issue because they would know that she could look after herself even if they weren't around. But just look at her recent incident where she was nearly abducted and things could have gotten worse for her if she wasn't rescued by the female leads brother. So what they really need is a protector and caretaker for her at this point and the only one in their opinion to do so should be a husband for her. I guess they wanting to hand the company over to him should serve as an incentive that the person looks after her and keeps her happy. But marriages like that don't work out in real life but considering their situation it kind of make sense to me that they would be happy to accept any marriage at this point as long as they think that their daughter stays happy and secure. The female lead needs to have better management on her finances. It is absurd that she has still left such matters to her mother still. No wonder her mother is still causing troubles for everyone. She really can't blame that she did everything for her kids and that they live a comfortable life. She was the one causing trouble and forcing her daughter to perform at a young age even when she didn't want to. Can the female lead take her mother to court for mismanaging her finances I wonder. Highly unlikely. The male leads mother is at least decent enough to put aside her differences and let him date the female lead. His happiness is not only more important to her but she has realized that the female lead isn't responsible for her mothers actions and not only that but she kind of got what she wanted at the same time. She wanted a sincere apology from that family. It would have been preferable from the female leads mother but getting it from the female lead is a close second. As of now the female leads mother is a lost cause and I don't have much hope for her at this point.

Well after watching the second episode I can say one thing the ending OST is kind of catchy. While I don’t know the lyrics or understand them, I still enjoy it. Other than that, we already have a few standard tropes coming true as well as some predictions. Still there are a few mysteries that still need to be resolved. Let’s get on with this then. Second male leads birthday party is ruined by a mysterious shooter who claims to be the chairman’s illegitimate son and he was doing it out of revenge. How many of you actually buy this claim. I have my doubts in regards to this. Can it be possible sure. But my suspicion is that the stepmother was actually responsible for the shootout. My reasoning for this is simply that the timing was too coincidental to be otherwise. The kid had witnessed her speaking with someone else and he had started to question her about who they were talking about. She needed to divert his attention from this because if she loses control of him she loses everything that she has worked for to stay in said house. Her action of saving his life gains her a few bonus points because people now think that she genuinely cares about him (including the kid as well). Who is going to want to kick her out at this point. Unless it is proven that she was responsible. So could the person claiming to be the chairmans son be true sure or it could be both. She just used this fact to her advantage. Only time will tell. Main leads mother survived the fall as predicted. (come on we all knew that was going to happen). But it seems like she may still be mentally okay at this point. Since there was just that one scene in the trailer for the next episode it seems like she probably needs another accident which will result in her mental injury. I guess we can wait for that for the time being. Speaking of her we discover that she isn’t the first wife as we assumed all along and was kicked out by the mistress. It turns out to be the opposite for a change. So, what are your thoughts in regards to her. At least she isn’t really trying to steal second female leads mothers position she just wants to live on her own quietly with her kids. The people around her are the ones preventing her from doing so. Does that make her a villain or even a housewrecker. The chairman is at fault for not being able to control himself. Oh well I guess that is a story for another day. Turns out henchman is second female leads father. What a predictable twist. Speaking of that she is responsible for attempted murder. Does this make her worse than her mother is the question now. The mother freaked out sure when she saw the fire and tried to make a tactical retreat, but she didn’t at least try to trap the female lead and her mother in a burning fire. Granted there is no real proof that the second female lead did the same thing. When the adopted father showed up there was a shelf blocking the door and it could have totally fallen by accident. But we know for a fact that the second female lead was present during the fire. This is evident by a clip in the first episode where we see a pair of legs running up the stairs and the female lead is shouting for help. Those were clearly the feet of the second female lead. This is further proven when her mother noticed the soot marks on her socks. She may not have realized the signs but we viewers clearly did. So again it is possible that she didn’t drop the shelf and we are jumping to conclusions or she didn’t notice it falling. Yet neither of them did anything to help the female lead and her mother when they were trapped in the fire. Then we have the people confronting the female lead about where her father was. Looks like he probably asked people for a loan or borrowed money. But my question is why. They seemed well off that this didn’t seem necessary. Even if it was for the mothers treatment. Get a loan from the bank. I am sure that they could have afforded it. Could they be the people who worked for him and they didn’t get paid. We really need an answer from over here. At least next episode (probably the end or the middle) brings the transition of the adult actors. So, we can proceed with the story. Why is the grandmother suddenly interested in locating the mistress after such a long time. Oh, and how did the male leads mother survive the fall from the cliff and at the same time avoid Henchman who was trying to locate her. Just in time for the female lead and her adopted father to locate them and help her out. They couldn’t even use the magic IV of life. Though as predicted she was tracked down by the henchman and she did manage to escape from his clutches. Overall the show seems decent. I guess I just have to wait till it eventually goes downhill and people start making dumb choices and whatnot. So till next time.

*** "Moving" took home the drama side Daesang and I knew that would happen when Best Drama went to My Dearest. Moving is my favorite drama of last year because of a complete package in acting, writing and directing. Most of the stars wore B/W concept. I noticed that every K-awards red carpet is like this. At least, Suzy had different color. But, at least, they're all gorgeous to look at.

*** I'm happy that Disney+’s excellent series Moving takes the Daesang (Grand Prize) this year. I never expected "Moving" to be as good as it was. And while the nominations skewed a bit on the ~edgy~ side of the dramaverse, it’s great to see all these talented actors named. It was neck and neck in some categories while some nominations were a little bit off. Baeksang Arts Awards 2024: The winners Film “12.12: The Day,” directed by Kim Sung-su, won the Grand Prize in the Film category while Disney+ TV show “Moving” took the Grand Prize in the Television Category at The 60th Baeksang Arts Awards. The 60th Baeksang Arts Awards, one of the three most prestigious awards ceremonies in Korea honoring the best work of the Korean entertainment industry, was held at Coex in southern Seoul on Tuesday afternoon.

May 8, 2024 Lee Byung Hun at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards: Highlights Part 3 There was this little interactive corner during the ceremony where host Shin Dong Yeop talked with the audience members, and he started with Lee Byung hun bestie, of course. SDY: Let’s start with Lee Byung hun ssi, because he is someone who’s won Baeksang trophy for 7 times already. That’s why unlike other award ceremonies, I think Baeksang awards must feel more comfortable and friendly. What do you think? LBH: I think I did receive a lot of awards at Baeksang awards, thats why it is the award ceremony I always feel grateful for. SDY: Yes. You know unlike other award ceremonies, when we interview people at Baeksang, we always do a close up shot of people, and others could feel a bit flustered during those moments, but it seems our actors here aren’t feeling that awkward at all. So, lastly, Lee Byung hun ssi, could you please show your trademark wide smile to the viewers of Baeksang? And I am not talking about your regular smile here, but that smile you had in your Donut TVCFs from the 90s as if you just got paid your modeling fees. 🤣 please do it in the camera. LBH: Oh here? Hello. I am Lee Byung hun. I know you guys have been waiting for a long time, but sooner or later, I will come back with a good projects. Please wait for me a little more. Thank you very much! Because of this I got to revisit this Donut TVCF after such a long time, and LBH really did his pose of biting his donut like in the advertisement naturally while he was asked by his friend. I know Shin Dong Yeob and LBH’s friendship goes back a long way, and I am sure there was some inside joke about his smile too, because that specific details about “smile as if you just got paid” was so bff coded. Lol. Shin Dong yeob saw his chance and took it! LBH looks so adorable. The 90s Dunkin Donuts TVCF in question. 😆 His eyes! His eyes!😍 his Dunkin donut TVCF is one of my all-time favorite. He looks so pretty and his eyes have that mischievous sparkle but at the same time so deep and mysterious that you can’t help but feel drawn to them.

Quotes from 'Queen of Tears' that Made it an Unforgettable Drama One of the top dramas of 2024, ‘Queen of Tears’ came to an end recently. True to the title, the show had fans bawling their eyes. But in the end, it was all worth it. Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won owned the drama with the supporting cast being just as good. It had fans rooting for not just the main couple but our second leads, too. The show started off as a love story between Baek Hyun Woo, the legal director of Queens Group, and Hong Hae In, the daughter of the company's owners as they navigate through a crisis in their marriage. But soon, we get to see many twists and turns. It is like an emotional rollercoaster that will move you to tears at times and keep you hooked at others. As we bid farewell to "Queen of Tears," let us revisit some of its best quotes that have made it an unforgettable drama. “There are times when people completely forget things even if they’re not sick. I was the same. I had forgotten it all.” – Baek Hyun Woo “If anything, I’m miserable. But I’m only able to endure it because of the smallest happiness that I feel once in a blue moon. That’s marriage. That’s life.” – Hyun Woo’s Father, Baek Du Gwan
