  1. To summarise in short what we learnt from this drama :

    • A mistake is something that happens accidentally. Cheating and Lying are not accidents, not a mistake, they are choices.
    • Infidelity does not come from lack of love, it comes from lack of respect.
    • If you leave someone for another person, don't be surprised if that person leaves you for someone else one day (karma??)
    • Never settle for being someone's others when you know you have the full potential to be someone's only. 

     

    Pls feel free to add in the list....

     

    Let's toast for all the wives have a happy ending for them. Cheers!

  2. I enjoy reading this forum discussion from the cheating topics expanding to the responsibility of housework (e.g. cooking and washing) between couples and both ends brought up their real life event examples. I love it. :wub:

     

    @airgelaal
    I sympathize with your girlfriend who is always forced to do washing at home, this is really sad..... thanks for sharing the real life example :( 

    Surveys and research consistently point out that although many women work outside, they still tend to do most of the housework :(. Husbands and wives are arguing about who is doing what at home, almost like they are arguing about money.

    Marriage is a partnership (whether we like it or not), that includes the practical business of running the household such as keeping financial records, home maintenance, shopping, planning, cleaning, cooking, washing, childcare, transportation, etc.

    Regarding pre-marriage counseling, there are few things MUST be discussed:

    • Set Priorities - What is truly important to the couple? Compromise works best if we select priorities, rather than trying to completely satisfy both partners.
    • Anticipate Obstacles  - here come with communicating and compromising in getting this particular unpleasant task done.
    • Agreed on Time table - Some folks are morning birds while some folks are night owls. Work it out to avoid tension later on. Timing is important.
    • Employ a domestic maid - if a couple can't or don't want to lower their standards, they can employ some part time helper if their budget allows.

    In my opinion, managing expectations is the most difficult part - here involves with a tolerance level, so it depends on the spouse’s flexibility and allowing them to complete the task in their own way.

    Marital values tend to change over time, because values and personal preferences are often obscured by layers of social needs and expectations. Sometimes we experience some changes in life, which can have a profound impact on our relationship with life. In this case, all our core values and common goals may change, so communication and compromise become the key.

     

    But will all the couples stay synchronized to achieve their common goal over time? A huge challenge for all of us. 

     

    In summary, before entering the marriage, pre-marriage counselling is highly advisable and recommended, including housework discussions and prior consent.:wub:

    Ego is the most murderous things in the world, it's a truly silent killer as far as I have experienced it. 

    Yes, that's right.  Ego may be a toxic in any relationship, and it can ruin it if we don't fix it carefully.

     

    Love is the key to overcoming self-limiting self-belief. If you find that your relationship is faltering, try to start with your relationship with "yourself"; not the self, but the true self. The immortal, eternal nature of your existence.

    The idea is not to eliminate the ego (it is part of our birth, whether we like it or not). Just try to understand it, explore it with child-like curiosity, and go beyond the aspects of it that restrict our growth and hinder our relationships with others.:wub:

    I am not sure if the 50s couple will reconcile, but I can see the writer at least aiming for them to try.

    The 50s wife has been very classy throughout all of this.

    Frankly speaking, I don't want this couple in the 50s to get back together. Writerim, pls give that woman a break or a kitkat :D

     

    My reason is - she spent nearly half a century to serve her husband and children well (look at everyday's meal she prepared for them), and worked very hard to buy a house and a car for her family. She should live a better life and enjoy the rest of her life on other activities (when her children grow up), such as expanding her social circle, learning new things, travelling around the world, enjoying dating, doing volunteer works in the community, etc.

     

    We have stages of life by decades and she might have missed the peak of her life in the past decades, so what is her missing part in her life, besides her man and her family? "Time" is a teacher that taught us well. 

     

    The 50s husband is not worthy of a good wife like her. He can continue to choose the life he wants, and for the sake of the children, the two can remain friends after the divorce.

     

    My favourite motto :

    How many decades are there in our lives? :wub:

    am way too lazy to watch this drama and it is far more easier to just read the thread comments. hahahah.. but I always wonder what it is about cheating dramas that get people annoyed on soompi. it is not like we don't see cheating in other genres like weekend or daily dramas but most of the time, they don't get the reactions that you see in barf dramas like these.. 

    Thanks for your interesting sharing :wub:

    I think the 3 couples and the 3 mistresses storylines are more like real events in our daily lives, which may just happen to our family or friends around us. The only thing most viewers (so far) feel disgusting is that the stepmother and the appearance of her "ghost" husband caused more controversial discussions on any social media platform. I don't know why the writer planted the "ghost" in this S2 - the story may suddenly turn upside down and become illogical if the "ghost" husband appeared. Will the phantom drive the stepmother felt guilty and confess later on? Let's wait and see. 

     

    Many viewers think that stepmother is a manipulative and toxic mother in the play, and I agree. But wait, do you think this character happened in the real world— yes, it did happen. I remember I met a couple and they told me that their relationship was very unstable, not because of an affair with a woman outside, but because the mother-in-law was too possessive of her own son. She is easily jealous whenever her son treats the wife well. The possessive mother wants extra care and attention from her son especially when she feels lonely and loses her husband. 

     

    For this 40's couple, i find it interesting to watch how the 40s wife handles and plays strategy with the stepmother by introducing a new boyfriend to her, their conversation has a prickly or hash taste. This dramatic dialogue is very interesting, it could either tell their motives or inspire your thoughts. :D

    Thank you for sharing your detailed findings about this drama. :wub:


    1. You asked a very good question whether the men in this show are selfish. Frankly speaking, selfishness applies to all men and women, depending on their degree. When we act selfishly, it is because we are insecure in the relationship. Look at the mistresses, even if they feel guilty, this behavior applies when they destroy other families. Only one woman in her 50s expressed unconditional love for her husband and children, but in the end, what would she get?  This once again made all traditional women think deeply and learn from it. 

     

    2. Back to the essential meaning of this drama that sparked controversy and triggered our emotions, there will be two extremes.

    • If we look at the negative side of this drama, yes, i agreed with you that cheating become allowed in the relationship, which is completely wrong and will trigger any single or couple's fear of getting married soon.
    • On the positive side, it allows the audience to reflect (like a mirror) for all the adulterers and divorcees, think about and learn a lesson from their relationship. Any divorced person who wants to remarry must learn from past mistakes so that we can know what we want and need in the next relationship.
    • This drama shown there is no "happy marriage" (only in fairy tales), only compromised and committed marriage. One of the good example is the old folks, 60s age old couple. (there are often small quarrels but they stay compromised and committed).

     

    So far, I won’t say that the show is good, this drama made us explore our mindset but at the same time it is too draggy. I hope that the ending of this drama is three strong and independent women, living a happy life, because I always think that we, women, have choices. :heart:

  9. I am surprised but yet interesting to see the 40's wife has a wild imagination with the sound engineers during her "dream" (the swimming pool scene).  A very bold scene today telling us that any "perfect wife" with a so called "perfect family" could have such "dream" too, because it is normal for any woman to suppress desire as they know where their position are.

     

    I would say the writer is very brave to bring up a controversial theme in this drama, not just triggers our emotions, but in fact, it is true for anyone. (The thin line between good and evil lays in the decisions we make)- This really depends largely on our self-control. The wife in her 40s may be interested and longing for the sound engineer in her heart, but she pretended that everything is normal since she is seeing him frequently in the workplace or outside the work areas . 

     

    Sometimes, we have to admit, don’t we have wild fantasies in our dreams but subconsciously avoiding and suppressing the desire and emotion? :D.

     

    This topic challenges the unconventional way of extramarital affairs. Whether it is right or wrong, based on our morals and ethics, it is left to the audience to perceive.

     

    I am sure there will be more bold scenes coming up in the next few ep.

  10. @larus and @bedifferent

    I agreed with both that there are plenty of good drama and actors/actresses in this 57th Baeksang Arts Awards nomination list.

     

    Just for fun and for my wild guess, although i know all the contestants are good in their own way.

     

    • Best drama hard to guess - it will be between Beyond evil and It's okay to not be okay (there are different genre, but my guess that the higher chance will go to Beyond evil)
    • Best actor - my personal thought, it will go to Shin Ha Kyun 
    • Best actress - my personal guess, it will go to Kim So Yeon

     

    The most difficult to guess is the Best supporting actor category - it will be the most fierce competition because I watched all these drama so far.

     

    Best Supporting Actor

    Kim Seon Ho – tvN “Start-Up”

    Kim Ji Hoon – tvN “Flower of Evil”

    Oh Jung Se – tvN “Its’s Okay to Not Be Okay”

    Lee Hee Joon – tvN “Mouse”

    Choi Dae Hoon – JTBC “Beyond Evil”

     

    My own favourite choice is either Kim Seon Ho or Oh Jung Se, because of their amazing performance in drama that could easily impress and move us and we could cry with them as long as their emotions erupt, especially the character role of autism portrayed by actor Oh Jung Se. 

     

    Anyone who has a family member with autism will fully understand their actual characteristics, and it is not easy to portray them, but Oh Jung Se performed very well in this drama without failed...

  11. Solidworks  for this drama....

     

    Beyond my expectation

    Beyond my words.....

     

    after watching the final EP, this drama would be one of my best favourite drama of 2021, at least for the 1st half of the year. No other drama can compare with this at the moment. "Mouse" was a bit disappointed after knowing the writer created something illogical sense, brain transfer from one psychopath's to another one :(

     

    Besides the two male leads, I must highlight some of the fabulous and amazing supporting actor roles, they are so good not to miss out their credits to the whole drama, like Kang Jin-Mook, Do Hae-Won, Lee Chang-Jin, Park Jung-Je, Nam Sang-Bae, Han Ki-Hwan, and the beautiful actress Yoo Jae-Yi..... I may start look up for her drama.

     

    For the last ep, it seemed that i was watching a movie....the subtle relationship between them : love and hate, guilty and yet respect each other, I loved how they wrapped out nicely - the ending showed Lee Dong Shik's real smile from his heart for the first time ever. All those fake smiles or red eyes in the previous episodes had so much hurt hidden in them. Bravo to Shin Ha-kyun. He should deserve a best award together with the team. 

     

    BTW, I love the background guitar music, sound like 60s/70s music theme, anyone knows where to find this guitar music? I can't find any in youtube. Thanks

  12. @raziela Yes, I don't think I am the only one felt that the winning side has to be on win/loss scale,  just like we are watching a competition match. It has been very one sided with Vincenzo outsmarting them every single occasion and  I felt the villains need a win to make the endgame more interesting and unpredictable.

     

    I expect the writer to make twist plot instead of repetitive and predictable plot. May be my expectation is high since it is merely a black comedy drama , but there again, we hope writer can give us some plot twist or unexpected character appeared. 

     

    If he is kidnapped and locked up by Han Seok later on, then Cha Young would take up the leadership role and lead the Plaza Mafia and Tenants in order to save Vincenzo. (again this is another predictable teamwork plot)...

     

    For the subsequent EP, the most interesting part that I am looking forward to seeing is how the good and bad guys dig out the gold and the USB file from the basement, when there are many pairs of eyes with different motives eyeing on it.

     

    Once they dig out the gold and USB file, what will be their final settlement?  it can be in various situation or end up nothing. In my opinion, none of them should get the gold because the gold ultimately is not belong to anyone, as it is probably an illegal act by the original owner. Sudden windfall can give us different acts and perspective views from people. I would love to see what a man really behave when he loses all the gold. This will be my favourite line of story.....perhaps the buddhist monk master may appear a classic quote in the end : "We come into this world with empty-handed, and we leave the world with empty-handed - the richness of life is meant to LIVED, not KEPT. :wub::D

  13. We have two super eye-candy male leads in this drama, and I almost forgot some of the plot holes.  :D

     

    Capture1.jpg

     

    In this drama, I may have unpopular opinion, I like this villain dude more than the role of Vincenzo. Everyone knows that Vincenzo is an Italian Mafia, he is so smart, handsome and almost unbeatable, while Jang Joon-Woo was an intelligent, charisma and handsome CEO of Babel group. However, it seemed that the writer did not make Vincenzo's rival the same level of capabilities and talents as he is, I don't feel the thrilled when Jang Joon-woo defeated by Vincenzo once again in Ep14 (he is almost very often defeated). It would be so fun and thrilled to watch mind games when both sides have almost equal talent and resourceful. Of course in this drama, we know that Vincenzo has lots of good partners with him together with pool of building tenants helping him, while Joon-Woo only left with his lawyer to assist him, his brother could even betray him because of his evil character. This drama reminded me of some typical American Hero movies. We have been trained in our mind when we were young that all bad guys will be either sent to jail or died in the end in a drama or movie, so the question is not the end result, I would love to see the process of adopting different strategies that how they play with each other, while Vincenzo is alway on victory road, so will JW be smarter next round, or still the same?

     

    I guess the whole drama is not focusing so much of rival war (no fun when there is always the same party defeated), but rather finding the strategy of digging out the GOLD through collective efforts and intelligent.

     

    For EP14, lesson learnt - due to the greed and the intention not to share, in the end the gold remained safely in the basement. :D

  14. My guess is correct. The real murderer is Han Ki-Hwan - hit and run driver, but why he was threaten by both Jeong Je's mum and the Lee Chang Jin, there must be something happened among the three of them on that night, we shall see on the next EP.

     

    Jeong Je drove while he was drunk that night, he didn't notice there was a dead body lying on the ground and he thought he might have run over her body accidentally (the first time was hit by Han Ki-Hwan) - he called his mom for help and his mom called Lee Chang Jin to dispose Yu Yeon's body. Lee Chang Jin probably order his workers or Kang Jin Mook to bury the body (since he worked in the construction site shown on that TV video), but instead he returned her body to Dong Shik's basement wall.

     

    My guess is Lee Yu Yeon's fingertips was cut by Kang Jin Mook when she found a lady victim inside Kang Jin Mook's car. When she later regained her consciousness, she ran away and thought she could get help from the incoming car. But she was hit by Han Ki-Hwan's car while she was standing on the road asking for help, her body rolled over to the side when hit by the car due to the major impact. But when Park Jeong Je arrived, her body was lying in the middle of the road, someone might have shifted her body before that.

     

    The moral of the story :

    1. Don't drive if you drink.
    2. Don't drink if you drive.
    3. Don't peep on the black car on the middle of the road at night when there is not enough lamp light, sometime you will never know what will happen inside the car. :D
    4. The story brings out some facts that why it is so hard to trust people (since that everyone is a suspect when comes to murderer, the real question is : "why is it so hard for people to tell the truth?"

    On last EP, the two male leads conversation brought up about the trust and truth These two pillars are in strong relationship, if you don't trust a person, you won't speak truth, and if you don't tell the truth, the person won't trust you.

     

    Following this line of thought, the writer has successfully built up the intenseful and amazing plots to entice us to the end...

     

    PS : Choi Dae Hoon (actor for JJ) should get the award for best supporting role for this drama. :)

    I'm going to find SHK's previous dramas to binge....

     

    I'm sure YJG is wonderful too, it's just that during his close-ups, I got distracted by his blackheads-free, smooth nose...

    I noticed SHK performance was from his previous work called, "Less than Evil" --- you should pick up that drama too. Very good. But I would say this current one is beyond my expectation, it was even better than "less than evil" - the credit must give to the writer and director too, not just the lead actor. The collective intelligent and efforts bring shine to the project, bravo !!!!

  16. There were few ironic scenes in this drama especially the buddhist monks joined the rest in pursuing the gold, it was funny and ironic. Vincenzo made us question our values and means when fighting with the evil ones. 

     

    I love both male leads in this drama, I watched it because of Song Joong ki, but I like even more on Jang Joon-Woo (an evil character that was even more challenging role to play, I can see some improvement acting on Taecyeon, but I think he could have done it even better, let's see on the subsequent EP) --- the way he presented himself as an intelligent and twisted guy, and behaved himself like a God symbol, which defined as a dominant and controlling model, someone on top that need to be admired by others. He sets his own rules and games through violence act. However, it seems that the writer did not make him smarter than Vincenzo, as every chances that they encountered easily defeated by Vincenzo, except once shown on EP 10. 

     

    I found it too soon to reveal the big boss identity at the end of EP10 (a cliffhanger, hopefully not so soon), i hope they can drag further for them to find out as it will be fun to play the "catching game" since we have left with 10 EP to go.

     

    I want to see a big fall on Vincenzo so that he can climb up again with conviction and justice, not through violence.  Obviously, the writer will be leading us to the final victory through the collective intelligent and efforts (since it is a black comedy drama)...So it should be a good ending :)

  17. Bravo to the writer and director, they've done an amazing job and created something truly memorable. One of the best drama for 2021.  I hope the main lead actor Shin Ha Kyun, can bring back the best actor award for this year. His acting is just phenomenal. Every close up shots for him was so amazing.

     

    On EP 10, during the flashback mirror scene at the wash basin, I suspect that Park Jung-Je probably confessed to DS's sister (Lee Yu-Yeon) but she was angry at him and told him not to follow her. He felt guilty because he didn't stop her or accompany her back home. He probably witnessed her being hit by the car but someone must have erased his memories by using "drugs" medication, confusing him to think that it was a deer (he kept drawing a deer head) that was run over since it was close to the deer farm. His mum manipulated him by feeding him the drugs to cover the accident, her partner, Lee Chang-Jin (JL construction) hired Kang Jin-Mook to handle the dead body, but he had DS' sister (Lee Yu-Yeon's) fingertips cut and had it displayed, and buried her body inside the wall, he was the one who did the cleaning up for the real murderer.

     

    So who is the real murderer who hit over viciously and cruelty on Lee Yu-Yeon repeatedly?

     

    My top suspect list is  - Han Ki-Hwan (Han Ju Won's dad)

    The Russian speaking Lee Chang-Jin and Park Jung Jae's mum that involved are just his accomplices because during their dinner together on early EP, Han Ki-Hwan emphasized that he did not want to get involved with them anymore as he felt the threat after that incident since they both covered up for him. 

     

    I really enjoyed this drama alot, not just because of the storyline, it is the best drama that best described both ML's characters development during the conflicts stage as well as at the turning point. We could hear Lee DS mentioned "his partner" during the critical time.......

     

    So let's see how the writer close out the curtain for us at the end show, I am waiting anxiously.......

    I was like watching a bunch of thieves movie that the ML, Vincenzo, using different strategies to get rid of the building tenants in order to locate the gold - he needed to solve every single problem in order to reach his final mission. His mission is to dig up the gold from bottom and that entire journey was really funny. The best part was the monk's butt that sat on the floor mat, how can we stop laughing throughout the show???.:D 

     

    The below pictures shown the national motto of France - "liberty, equality, fraternity"  which appeared at the end of the EP 7...:D:lol: - very ironic. Love it.

    I see that you watch another makjang drama (the new work of Princess Aurora`s writer). I never ever will watch this unless So yeon decided to joing another similar show (I hope she will NOT choose this kind of dramas ever but we never know what`s ahead).

     I stopped watching Sisyphus after episode 2 because some poor execution of the scenes. And the bad guys were a joke. I am watching 6 dramas right now (5 airing dramas and an old drama) and I like Beyond Evil the most.

     

    Oh yes, you are right , i watched the "marriage lyrics for divorce music" (2021) - there is a hit topic discussion in another forum that provoking your thought. In my opinion, this drama is much better than "Penthouse" at least with substance (I know there are many viewers criticised this topic but again, they still continue watching....:D)

     

    For this drama writer, i would say she had boldly brought out the topics surrounding of marriage, divorce and Infidelity that challenged our bottom line of ethics and morals as our society are shaped by social norms,  cultural  practices, and religious influences.. (I heard there will be S2 for this drama too,  :cry:)

     

    For this drama, there is always two ends of the spectrum, they allow us to ponder, think otherwise, it will not be just based on one-sided view.  It shown us candidly why a couple turn into this situation when there is a cheating (be it their age at 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s) :

    1. Does it always be one party's fault?

    2. How can they handle and resolve their problem together?

    3. Mistress issue is just the tip of the iceberg? There is still fundamental problems underneath the iceberg. 

    4. How do we perceive love?

    5. How do we perceive happiness at the end?

    6. Do you think women adopt "devotion" approach is a way to secure long term marriage?

    7. Have they communicated clearly on their needs and wants?

    8. Many more

     

    Each of us may have different perspective. Whether a couple should go for divorce, there is no right or wrong answer, only a personal choice they made.

     

    This drama may feed us poison after watching this, but it leaves behind the reality check. So it is a debatable topic. Life is like on a bus journey, some choose to stay on the bus, continue suffering the long and bumpy road, some choose to alight from the bus and go by another route. Whether the final destination is what they want to achieve love and happiness, ultimately, it is a personal choice.

     

    Yes, me too. My top favourite weekends drama is Beyond evil, and follow by the above drama and vincenzo.:D....I may skip "TIME" because it seems that the story quite similar to "KAIRO".

    So Yeon is gorgeous in Penthouse whatever season. :wub:

    It is alright if you like this but from what you mentioned, I noticed, you did not say anything about liking the plot.

    Yes, you are right. :D I don't really enjoy the drama storyline as too much of the revenge and the plot is easily predictable, nothing fresh.....but i continue watching it because of KSY (all the reasons already mentioned earlier on my post) plus they will inject some new faces as camero, like her husband, LSW. :D

     

    Watching this drama without using any brain and stress, as i mentioned I watched it with different mood. I can easily pull out myself from drama and not too engrossing with the plot. I know many viewers invested their emotions heavily, be it hate and love, in this drama. I found it so interesting, why people can invest so much emotions into one single Kdrama land where there are not realistic at all as the characters are fictional. The only reason for viewers to rant out probably because of their stressful life and emotional trigger circumstances while watching them. :D 

     

    Watching any k-drama or movie, sometimes really depend on our mood. Knowing how to detach from the drama is the best practice.

     

    Currently i enjoyed the most kdrama for the weekends are : "Beyond evil", "Marriage lyrics for divorce music and "Vincenzo" - all these will need our brain juice that provoke our thought, excluding the weekdays drama I have not mentioned. (such as Sisyphus: The Myth and LUCA) - i too enjoyed watching them because of the scif- thriller genre. :D

    I admit that I dislike this genre very much but watching just So yeon `s scenes it was/is bearable. I think So yeon had a lot of screen time in season 1 also.

     

    Not really, I understand you skip or fast forward some scenes in S1, if you compared both season 1 and 2, S1 has Lee Ji-Ah and Eugene, three of them shared almost equal screen time. But in S2, without Lee Ji-Ah at the moment, KSY has more screen time than Eugene, I guess Lee Ji-Ah will show up later part of the story.

     

    Finally, I must thank you for your hard work in putting up all her nice images and her latest updated news in this forum, very resourceful, your kind contribution in this forum is highly appreciated. Do keep up the good work. :heart:

  22. @larus and @bananacad how are you, my dear ladies? :wub:

     

    May be I am the odd one, I like Penthouse S2, reasons being for Kim So Yeon:

    1. She has more screen time in S2.
    2. She looks even prettier and younger with her long black straight hair instead of curly hair. (She doesn't suit curly hair, to be honest)
    3. She wears a lighter tone make up in S2. She looked more mature, like a "witch" in S1.
    4. Her Glamorous fashion wear in S2
    5. Am I the only one love to see her with her ex-husband? I prefer actor Yoon Jong-hoon to Um Ki-joon. Their kissing scenes are hot :D
    6. I am totally fine with her villain role (May be i am able to differentiate reality from drama. Once we understand her backstory, what causes her become a monster now, her greed for power and status, and full of jealousy) - she caught my eyes when she acted as villain role in "All About Eve" - she was such an attractive lady back then. And now, she is still the same as beautiful as before. 

     

    After seeing these three protagonists in this drama, I have this sudden thought that Kim SY should start a new comedy action drama, like "Charlie's Angels". Her fighting skill as North Korean spy in Iris drama was a memorable one. She mentioned in her last interview that after Penthouse, she would like to act in a comedy role. Let's see. ;)

  23. Beyond evil has an amazing start and end with a cliffhanger, it's beyond our expectation. Bravo !

     

    Like what the Drama "Vincenzo" shown the Italian proverb saying, "It takes a devil to drive out another devil" - only monster can beat the monsters, we need a real monster to deal with the evil men whether it's legal or not.

     

    The LDS (first ML) has to be the monster in order to trap down another monster (the murderer) His acting is phenomenal. I was truly amazed by his current work and previous project called "Less than Evil" (bad detective)

     

    He has given hints in the drama during the internal investigation.  All the evidences seem to be pointing at him including the last EP 4 - if we rewatch carefully, I believe that the real identity of the person who met up with KMJ wasn't revealed on that scene, the young police officer, JiHoon saw KMJ from a distance with a smile, and he saw her walking towards "the person" who could be the abductor or killer of KMJ but LDS probably wasn't the person meeting up with her. Who is "the person" in the dark to kill her? Why Jihoon wanted to frame LDS, this is something we shall find out on next EP.

     

    I am quite sure both will eventually work hand in hand to find the real murderer. 

     

    @partyon - you asked about any first ML who was the bad guy/killer throughout the show, i recalled one creepy drama, "Stranger from Hell" -  lee dong wook character. :D

    The ending is just too funny for me, look at the "bride" what she carried with her, you just can't stop laughing...one of the craziest and comical love story i watched....i like it. :D It's good for my stress relief...

     

    I wouldn't say the ending is perfect, there are still flaws, but because it is a comical fairy tale, i can accept whatever ending they gave because it was supposed to be happy ending for such fairy tale. 

     

    The 1st male lead is so perfect, handsome looking, good height, broad shoulder, fine hair, sparkling and charming eyes, can sing well, what else do we expect in this story? He is just like walk out from the "manhwa look and character" - exactly the same look.

     

    I am more worried for his future role, he has a perfect handsome look, he may not suitable for different types of versatile roles or a tough guy look unless he changed his image 360 degree, or he may continue his singing career. He is still young and a talented guy, a long journey ahead of him. I wish him all the best :)
