I’m sad. I had this whole post written out with replies to some posts here and when I went to next page it didn’t save my reply and disappeared
so going off memory, someone was discussing what HA said about the grass not being greener on the other side where one is loved by the one doing all the loving. Yes I agree with this from personal experience. I always thought the one that falls in love first, the one that pursues and pours alll their love into the one they are courting is less in power than the one being loved. That the one in the relation who loves ‘less’ and is loved ‘more’ is the one with more ‘power’ in the relationship. But what I didn’t realize was that it was actually that one who does the love. Because just as they were the one to decide to start it, they usually the one who ends it.
I perceive the ‘worship me’ as treat me like a queen, put me on a pedestal, be my hype man(cheer me on), let my existence be your religion, when you have nothing else to believe in-believe in me.
Someone was discussing how this drama is dull. I think that is the point so far. It’s a mirror to the characters state of mind at the moment and how dull, empty their life is without passion and love. Even the FL says she is neither happy or unhappy. I see it as she feels empty and apathetic. And the show doing this so we can see the drastic difference of these characters development in spring.
I am glad others have noticed how cold the parents are. I don’t think this has to do with korean culture-we see many realistic shows where the parents dote and coddle their kids with a lot of affection. I think it is just something distinct in this family that makes it so....un family. Meal time is usually when family connect most-catch up on stuff, talk about random stuff and laugh. But it is so uncomfortable and stiff every time they eat. I can understand though that the kids take it for granted too, having both their parents and a home even if it’s not ideal for them. I wonder if the dad resents his kids for working in Seoul instead of the farm and family business. Most parents would be over the moon their kids already have jobs and in Seoul of all places where competition is rampant and work openings are scarce. I feel bad for GJ. The mom is secretly giving affection to her sons old picture (I thought it was a dead sibling at first) and the fathers favorite is MJ apparently because she has a skill for carpentry as well. If GJ and single dad end up together, oooof good luck trying to get on the daughters good side, anyone else see how she stormed out restaraunt when she saw GJ?I hope Gu and MJ have a happy ending. I am hoping there will be steamy scenes between them to make up for all the depressing moments so far. I will give a shout out to LMKs character woooooweee he is soo different from his character in Because it’s my first life-I respect his versatility.

@philosophie If it's costume dramas, they get dubbed because of the different accents that actors inherently have, depending on which region/ city they are from. Costume dramas require more neutral accents. If it's modern dramas, this happens for the same reasons as well, but this genre is a lot more tolerant because it's modern and people in the contemporary world, do have different accents. So it's more acceptable. At times, I think it gets dubbed only if the actor/actress is from HK, Taiwan (but this depends as some dramas feature them speaking with their own voices, showcasing their very different pronunciations and enunciations), or if the role really requires a different kind of voice that the actor himself/herself cannot project (like in the case of Be My Princess where the ML is supposed to portray two characters and needs to subtly differentiate himself). I think acting is one thing but dubbing in a studio, looking at the character you played, and then producing the voice over requires a certain competence that comes with time, practice and dedication. Doing it on and off, at times doesn't produce the required standard, unless one really has an in-born talent.
Wow I didn’t know about the accents, thank you that makes sense now. Do you perhaps have any Chinese dramas you could recommend that aren’t dubbed?

I agree with just about everything you said except it being darker than Sky Castle. This show has a nasty touch of petty, realism to it to me. Jealousy and spite seem to be a strong emotion here. Also I'm not a masochist
at least not anymore. I have learned I can drop a show in KDramaland and be just fine with it if it will keep my food down and my head from exploding. I'm done now. The terrible things done to Dong Suek is too much. He is the only character I like in this show. I'll check back when it's over to see if there is justice for little DS.
YES EXACTLY the only character I like is DS. Everyone else even the main lead gets on my nerves. I didn’t mention it in the post before, but I also can’t stand her cousin. I get the cousin is trying to give the best she can to her daughter in their poor standards, but I hate how she pretended it was the husband that pursued her first, didn’t help EP when she started to be interested in helping her kid. Like I thought family trumps competition and all that. Especially when EP lost her fam. Which I also didn’t appreciate the cousin gossiping about to JH. But what was the nail on the coffin for me was when she sat by listening to the women gossip. You don’t have to do that for your kid to succeeed, be talented, and capable. If you believe in their abilities enough, obviously she doesn’t to throw her cousin under the bus and be a fake.

Maybe because I’m a psychology major, I can’t stand how they deal with the mental health. It’s not easy for someone with an eating disorder to just enjoy food again. Many have to get tube fed and go through a whole process with therapist to cope with their ED. As they’ve also handled the suicide topic, once again failing with ED topic. Yes there’s weight to words, but mental health needs more than just talk therapy sometimes, especially if that ‘therapist’ (grim reapers) aren’t there forever and leave once case is closed. I think of the viewers that at home this and identify with the emotion, message then wonde why they couldn’t be saved by the words? Why later they are still hurting and sturggling with mental health? Grrr

I think the character I hate the most is Louis. At the beginning of the drama I was expecting the twist to be something that happens in many Makjangs, jealous friend gets their friends boyfriend drunk or some situation like blackmail where he forced to sleep with her and she ends up pregnant that’s why he stays with her. But really, he just fell for JH and that’s fine, but like detective husband said it’s sickening how he pits two friends against each other. I don’t know..I think I could ‘side’ with EP more when JH was alive. now that she’s dead, I can’t stand EP anymore. Or YBs mom telling detective about the ‘affair’ and spreading rumor to chat room to ostracize kid. Honestly I can’t stand the writers for ruining the one friendship I rooted for..or the neglectful workaholic husbands leaving their wives to deal with the school politics. what a twist, I wasn’t expecting the journalist dad to be an abuser. So was he the one throwing cups over the window? And is it possible the molesting rumor isn’t baseless and he’s the culprit behind that too? Man this show is dark. At first it reminded me of sky castle. But man this one is darker. All in all, I’ve been leaving each episode annoyed, frustrated and disturbed, but of course I won’t drop the drama cause I’m still curious what happens next. Yep I’m a masochist.

Such a good show. I watch twitch streamers so I think the storyline is refreshing. I still don’t understand why Chinese shows get dubbed thoigh. If the dub matches the lips then aren’t the cast already speaking the correct language? Why dub them? The only shows I believe never got dubbed were love me if you dare and when a snail falls in love.
anyways, my favorite scene so far is when she sees his little brother thinks he’s a ghost and hugs the male lead while he carries her. SO HAWT

I really like this drama a lot but it has similarities with the mystic pop up bar. If that’s the case, it might be that LJH and Koo Ryeon were married in their past life. For some reason Koo Ryeon tried to kill LJH before but then in LJH perspective he hated people who committed suicide as they took their lives for granted.
Might be that Koo ryeon committed suicide no matter how much LJH protected her from other people (in some parts of the prev ep it showed Koo ryeon being stoned and criticised by town folks) unknowingly she was pregnant with their child (Rowoon) and because she committed suicide she’s bound to be sent to hell with their unborn child’s soul. That might be her last mission, to meet her reincarnated son’s soul and save him from hell through serving in Jumandung. As a twist, she cannot remember anything of the past apart from fragments of it and taaaaadahhhh former husband and wife cannot not recognise each other.
it was also said in episode 5 that lovers were destined to each other and both of them were tied by the red string of fate buuuut if one severed their bond through suicide… They will be punished by destiny and they will not meet again in their next life.
waaaaah I can’t wait for more of Koo ryeon and LJH past life stories!!! What do u think?!
I forget which sageuk but I remember one of them where the female lead was royalty until her family was rendered traitors and she had to become a slave. Maybe SH makes a mistake that changes their class level and their son dies from being stoned to death thus why she tries to kill SH and blames him for sons death. I think though, honestly, I’ve always assumed she attempted suicide because her loved one died (not from suicide) and she missed them so much she wanted to reunite with them not know8ng the opposite just happened and she is now cursed to never see them again (hence in the tunnel of hell she asks the jade empress if she will ever see ‘that person’ again).
can I see I cannot believe KR is 44!! My god she looks 20. Incredible

If none of these retributions come true, EVERYTHING WILL BE A DREAM. Everything was Pi-yeong's dream, and when she wakes up, everything will have returned to how they were in Season 1 - Yu-shin never cheated on her, no one cheated on anyone, and life goes on.
Omg imagine if the last three seasons really were just a dream...or really any kdrama plot someone invested in turns out the story is just a dream. Viewers would be so mad and feel robbed of their time! I would too but also couldn’t help but laugh because what did I expect from a show that doesn’t mention FEATURING GHOSTS

One thing is for sure, their relationship is not boring.
After two hundred years she surprised him with that question and he surprised her because he smiled.
THATS WHAT IM SAYING please writers why hadn’t you dedicated this show to this couple and spent the last episodes showing us their backstory. So what if it would have been different from the webtoon, you can still use some characters and concept but tweak it to what you see fit for tv. Many adaptations too. I am sad that this wasn’t writers focus because I know I won’t get as many scenes in future episodes of these two as much as I crave it

As for the maids’ malicious scheme, I think SE and PSY will soon see through them and put an end to it. These two women are no pushovers; they are smart, calm, very assertive, and capable speakers of their minds. They have held high positions throughout their careers and I am sure they can handle these “small minded” maids. Hopefully, the maids will come around soon.
When HG was telling SE the farting story, I was totally expecting her to overhear the maids talking smack when she was going to the kitchen to tell the maid to make mulberry tea
.
I agree about ami. At this rate if she marries him, it won’t be long before he cheats on her too. If he doesn’t end up with his step mom.
what do I think will happen in the end? Well I HOPE our last couple gets married and we will have a scene of all the couples living together with grandpa happy, celebrating their new babies, and just living a fulfilling blessed life. If I want to stretch my imagination like ghost loving Phoebe does, here’s some absurd predictions/theories I have based on trailer.
HR looked pale as a ghost. I think she is dying. When her spirit leaves the body, SW takes over it and somehow the body is healthy again, Hrs ghost goes into afterlife with the little boy ghost from her miscarriage, hence the TWO grim reapers that are there to escort the TWO ghosts leaving to afterlife. The maid is with grim reaper picture was BTS phot and have nothing to do with grim reapers.
Ami surprises us all and rejects YS proposal. GB reunites paralyzed face husband through step mom. Step mom ends up with step son after trying to pursue seo grandpa but is humiliated and shunned after the discovery of her murdering YS dad. YS too in the end abandons her and she does end up in mental hospital. Gb and Ami end up alone in end while SW only one who ends up with her love through possessing ex wife body. Go figure
.
The secret was that Ban doesn’t like to be touched so DM assume he cannot bed or kiss anyone hence telling her he understands if she won’t marry. But DM didn’t realize that SE could change that cause none of bans ex lovers could. Her ex husband and YS end up alone like ami and GB.
Someone overhears the maids talking smack and reports back to the new DILs if they don’t themselves overhear it or worse, are mistreated and even worse if the maid tries to make them miscarry. Or there is a plot twist where when the maid finds out they are pregnant, treats them well and actually ends up with the grandpa in the end. If she is fired, SPYs maid (I like her, she is loyal like keeping spy’s engagement private from AM and reporting to SPY when YS intrude in home) is hired while the wives are pregnant and after giving birth the wives are in charge since they no longer work.
All in all, my predictions even in absurdity include happy ending. I am bummed they waited so long for the reveal of GB being the ex and the women finding this out. There won’t be enough time fr there to be any real conflict from it but alas I wouldn’t want uri beloved couples to break up over this so I just can’t wait for ban and his grandpa to be DISGUSTED by GB after being so nice to her post break up

I've seen news reports about women in their 50's having babies, but it's still rare. I'm more surprised that they apparently had sex that night. Ear wax removal and a nap as foreplay ... Sheesh.
Yes...first person who comes to mind is Janet Jackson. And y’all crackin me up how the ear cleaning got her pregnant. LMFAO

What's with SDM's obsession with corset buttons on his jackets??? And a furry, feathery tux? His outfits sure gave me the biggest laughter! He really scored with the one night stand eh? Relieved with SPY's wedding look. Better than the S2 finale. I am surprised with the pregnancy news though... she always look hesitant whenever SDM mentioned about having a baby.
Is LSE confirmed preggers? I had a feeling the drama might follow this route when HG asked her about having a baby, but I always thought that SB was actually impotent... I am happy for them, I just want the drama to have a normal, reasonable ending instead of a super duper happy one.
They totally hate BHR, don't they? I really wish a good ending for her.
Don’t forget the latex tuxedo bow

I love Sa Pi Young and Lee Si Eun.. I am so happy that LSE has found love. It is rare for a man love a woman who is comfortable & confindence in anything she wear. LSE is they type of woman who is beautiful when she is happy. I think LSE was comfortable in her marriage and daily life., yes she even loved her husband. Her husband stopped looking & loving his wife. Saw her as old and unatractive which where in lies the problem. He never tried to spice things up and he only cared about her needs. New hubby loved her for her, the beauty he saw was on the inside and the outside. He knows Lee Si Eun, what she like and her personality. He always let her to the move and then he would recipricate. Such a gentle man.
I have read some commnets that they think Sa Pi Young won't get married and this is really scaring me. I do believe that how they started dating was weird, but his interest in started from the gold course, when told SDB she was divorced. I SPY because she isn't perfect , but tried to be due to fear of losing her husband. Once she found out about the affair, she maintained her diginity and confidence . She chose a path where she can can be free and protect her child. She meets this weird guy , he is dominating, sexy and he ask for a chance. Sa Pi Young has shaped her life due to the trauma of losing her dad and her parents divorce. So i believe Marraige is on aspect that Sa Pi Young is working hard to find hapiness.
@philosophie BHR - - > THis a charact that has me so confused and i really don't know what she wants. The writer hasn't really developed this character well. SHe became very bitter and she is type that must have the last worl but i don't think her actions were meant to be VICIOUS. a I agree her second marraige is troubling but that was becaues she was to bitter and HURT that she only knows to be on a defense. She decided to only think of herself. She was trying to find the perfect guy , where she won't need to become pregant and if husbby was rich it is a BIG PLUS.
PS I have not finished watching episode 13 yet. Lee Si Eun and hubby are making me gush to much
I am so happy for them
I agree! SE looks AMAZING the last episodes. Like seriously I have to give it to the glam squad for making her look so different from just some lip tint and very subtle change in make up and clothing style that somehow still makes drastic difference. The actress too for being able to display the change in her demeanor from worn out to glowing and rejuvenated. ( @Jolie Bijoux saw ur post after writing this and love you thought the same thing, so it’s not just me who noticed... @UnniSarah YASS GURL YASSS just saw your comment about it too) Oh my god I couldn’t believe what her husband said! “I can understand your wife remarrying but my ex wife isn’t even a. Woman anymore..” the heck?! Says the man that tried getting back with her!
I truly hope SPY does remarry and nothing gets in the way. I adore the dynamic between these best friends turned sister in law. Seriously the family is GOALS, how I wish I could be one of the kids in a house filled with so much family and LOVE.
I Agree about BHR. She had too much pride in regards to her divorce and how she went about it, as well as being very selfish as shown how she couldn’t even be happy for her friends new relationships. That still doesn’t warrant her to deserve the ghost possession.
@wildcherryi think the speculation of ban being impotent only started after the vague scene of DM telling a secret about ban to SE. “I understand if you don’t want to marry him after hearin this.STILL to this day no update on what the heck that secret was...obviously not impotency since our bb is preggo. Then what?! The suspense is killing me! Oh no the joseon grim reapers are here...don’t save me...they’re HOT..hi there why didn’t I see you earlier in the show you eye candy? Or in the show Tomorrow?

Jia was very eloquent when her father asked to move in, I think SPY has the right to tell her husband not to cry because he was doing what the other husband did with his paralyzed face and showing it to kid. Evoking sympathy. Making the children feel bad and worry about their dad. Well sorry adults that’s not a kids job. As someone that’s been traumatized by watching dad and step dad cry on my shoulder, I agreed with SPY because it’s inappropriate and too overwhelming for child to witness. Maybe if they were HG age then I could understand.
I was sooooo happy for the wedding! I’m glad the writer at least didn’t mess that up and doing us right by giving our beloved elder wife the happily ever after she deserves. Still wondering what bans secret is...impotency? Or something to do with how he doesn’t like to be touched? I think in the trailer when she tells him to attend the first rite it’s for his step mom. Isn’t it fascinating how YS and Ban both had stepmoms but very very different dynamics. Ughhh I so wanted a bed scene between uri couple or just had least a little tease that they got their steamy moment we all been cheering for. Alas, I’m just happy the wedding went through any hiccups after the kind of makgang ghost craziness our writer likes to put us through.
I thought Gb would be initiating contact, but everything was so weird. DM, why do you still have your exes number accident calling or her not. And it looks like the dad was who called her out to meet, not the other way around. I am curious why he asked her there. Even more curious how he and everyone will react finding out GB was Dms ex. Including DM that the husband she was with was none other than his beloved sister in laws and Ban who initially pitied and sympathized with her. I agree though, why is she still here? I hate her in this story and wish she just went abroad or proofed like ghost possessed wife’s husbands (forgot his name) brother we never see but is always mentioned.
I have to give credit to ghost possessed wife’s husbands parents. It would be so easy for them to turn a blind eye, especially after how HR treated them during divorce, but they’re really doing the most humane thing. Man oh man have things changed now that HR is pregnant. Here’s my thing, I pity HR very much. Even if she now got her baby she thought she never have, it was by a man that never loved her once during that whole process and instead was always looking at the apparition of SW that possessed her. It will be really hard to support this couple staying together if the ghost goes away but she stays cause she’s not pregnant and he miraculously somehow now loves her.

think its because of his eyes. People with normal vision would usually starting to experience short sighted in their mid 40s, some even as they turn 40, that’s when they need reading glasses. I guess SYS can’t read the small writing on the menu clearly unless he use reading glasses but of course he can’t loose out to the younger, hot bod, ex wife’s fiance. SDM has no problem looking at the menu since he’s still in his 30s. No short sighted issue yet
Ohh I thought it was because the menu was in French!
@Jolie Bijoux what episode were those wedding scenes again where we saw random women with men in car going into wedding? I want to rewatch the scenes if the gifs aren’t in the thread somewhere, I’m curious how much came true and how much was just dream sequence nonsense.

If joon wing isn’t her son (who I voted in poll) it might be ryung goo. Expect if she has a kid for the kid to be a character we already know. Then we are more emotionally invested than a new stranger being introduced. But I think ryung goo has a story of his own. Every time he clocks out he’s looking for someone, based on what it implied from Ryeons conversations with him. who is he looking for? Why does he work in ryeons division despite how u popular it is and how capable he is (I think the jade empress Said how he is equal to five workers).

one thing i dont appreciate with the netizens' comment on the "suicide prevention is deemed as too simplistic". it's a very sensitive subject and affects those who struggle with the darkness of suicidal thoughts. it is very possible at a certain moment that they see a light in the darkness and find hope in their despair and are able to pull themselves out of suicide. not sure how complicated the netizens want! think the drama would be too heavy if it gets too complicated. the drama is based on a webtoon and it has this gadget to assess the suicidal commitment level. it is maybe a bit non-sensible to go from 97% suicidal rate to twenty something % non-suicidal. they could have just finished each case at the lives got saved without going into the details of their living afterward. the story for each case is too long and has turned the main leads into supporting roles. anyway, i am only focusing on the directing, the flow, the edits of this drama!
I agree. Even though I brought up the netizens points in a previous post, I a, not watching a supernatural paranormal show to accurately Do suicide prevention. I think my confusion is in the laws regarding the memory. How do rowons friend be able to remember the fried chicken while not knowing it was magically brought to him? But then say only the old man can remember such kind of details because he is due to naturally die? The plot holes in regards to the supernaturals existence being a secret to humanity is what bothers me if that makes sense, I also agree that the screen time is not being done right. Too much focus on the episodic stories and not the main characters. I want to see more KR and JG. Wish writers knew how compelling their chemistry is to have written proper story with them.

@philosophie the drama has a good theme and stories, but the pd team has problems conveying the emotion, the plots in an organized and coherent flow! so far, there isnt much scenes about LJH! wrote about this issue on the first 2 eps. it finally got better in ep6 but it's probably too late as the rating for sbs drama keeps climbing up. tbh, movie pd usually is not good at producing tv drama, and the previous works of the co-pd were not that outstanding either.
read somewhere suspecting mbc might cut short the drama due to low rating! hope it wont happen! they should have aired the drama on weekdays. too much competition on weekend, even the last drama had an avg rating! mbc just naively believing that they will keep the strong rating trend since trs! drama about yi san rarely goes wrong and trs had a very good pd team!
I agree-at the beginning, I too was fast forwarding a lot. Also my problems were with the ‘rules’ in regards to grim reapers working in the human world. yes, I understand they get a different ‘face’ when they’re working. And all the stuff the show laid out. But it still didn’t make sense to me honestly. Like even the show said about cameras being everywhere, the way they use their powers openly or how when they deal with cases by working with the person like the bullied girl, it makes no sense to me. Because it’s like well isn’t the person gonna ask where they went after? And then even though they were more open with the grandpa about being grim reapers because he was going to die anyway, there were many times when they did abnormal things with previous cases that didn’t seem to keep the secret of grim reapers. I don’t know if I make sense, but it just felt like the ‘laws’ of grim reaper job aren’t as legit as let’s say the story of BLACK or goblin where the boundaries of what a grim reaper could do and keeping their existence a secret from humans made wayyy more sense. It confused me how they could just get the fried chicken, or make someone’s ‘wish come true’. It just doesn’t match with a grim reaper-they should have chosen different supernatural character if they were gonna go this route, fairy godmother, genie, anything but a grim reaper. I get the plot about saving lives instead of just escorting them, but as others have said they have failed to really make an impact on suicide cases because the help in the mental health department Has been lacking, it’s been very shallow with just the grim reaper giving a pep talk every time and voila it supposed to cure someone depression.
but yeah, the thing is this show is a bit episodic. A lot of filler, and I would hate if the show was cut down short because we haven’t even got down to the real story behind main characters because of all the episodes devoted to their job and other peoples story. It’s funny because if they had just focused on main characters, show would be short and sweet it seems since they needed to use all this filler and episodic nature in the first place.
Also, I think two extra of the editing is just silly. not even funny or comedic. The fighting scene with (I forget his name, KR colleague that leaves when alarm goes off) how they made it actually do look like a webtoon. At least they didn’t do that with KRs scenes with the loan sharks, that didn’t look cheese at all.
11 hours ago, partyon said:1) Rowoon's character is perceived as being annoying and some are even criticizing Rowoon's acting
2) Writing and directing. The pace of the drama is uneven.
3) Suicide prevention in this drama is deemed as too simplistic
4) A big chunk of the viewers want to see more of the backstory of the reapers while the focus has been more and less solely on the suicide prevention cases
It’s funny cause, my standard for uneven pacing is so low after watching that scam artist show Private Lives. I agree though, I think the problem with flashbacks that if you’re going to do that you can’t scramble around where one we see the historical one with the couple, then the rooftop, then suddenly back back in time when she’s a segeuk reaper vouching for her soon to be colleague (I forget his name, the alarm one), and then again back to the rooftop(I think, we need our own timeline post with all the flashbacks). it’s not coherent because it’s not in order of what happened and that makes it harder for us to follow as an audience because it’s all scattered. Instead, do the scenes in chronological order and let the audience find out without confusion what happened in the past.
rowons character is growing on me, I feel bad for him getting the heat of the criticism because I know it’s how his character was written not the actor as a person(he was amazing in Extraordinary You.
and ahhh! I would have loved if this story started with focusing on KR and JG. Especially by starting first with the past then a welcomed time jump to modern day. This show would have beeen SOOO much better omg.

Thought grandpa Shin already left & flew up to the sky after bidding farewell to Jia. He appeared & was watching Jia & SPY at the amusement park enjoying themselves.
Ami forced DongMi to pray to her dead husband altar otherwise he will continue to torture her. Her phobia and fear has got into her to go crazy and is planning to kill anor person cos she admitted to Ami that she killed her own husband. Jia was being possessed once, hope her grandpa will not disturb her.
Phoebe is out of this world, using ghosts to get into SeoBan & Jia to create havoc & chaos, she should stopped entirely, it's so damn annoying since the drama is coming to an end. Why not let it sail smoothly.
Like others have said this show should have been called love feat marriage, divorce AND ghosts

I think Apujgeong's FL was more so spoiled than evil... although I think she was morally grey once she started her revenge.
I just read about this drama and I'm so... horrifically curious. I'm quite horrified, and disgusted. But I'm watching it anyway.
I agree. She is definetly insufferable at the beginning but it was also refreshing seeing a morally grey lead. How was flames of desire for you?
another not so stereotypical daily that is also sageuk is Painter in the wind. The female lead had to cross dress so the gender bending makes her personality and character so un stereotypical from the female leads specially in those period pieces.

at least not anymore. I have learned I can drop a show in KDramaland and be just fine with it if it will keep my food down and my head from exploding. I'm done now. The terrible things done to Dong Suek is too much. He is the only character I like in this show. I'll check back when it's over to see if there is justice for little DS.
I am so happy for them

Really good webtoon. But been years since I read it. I’m surprised it took so long for them to adapt it but very happy for everyone. This should be good!
