Serves him right.
He also let her hog screen time in MIAV right to the last or second last episode.
That is true. Even in Cuckoo's Nest she didn't invade the screen time.
11 minutes ago, maribella said:Maybe they have their Harvey Weinsteins too.
Not sure if directors were a part of the MeToo accusations, but some actors were. Either way, he is very, very suspicious. I don't like him and I'm glad that I never have to watch a drama written by him again.

Update on the criticisms for this daily.
The writer is no longer working with KBS after this drama ends. It's gotten so bad that he's basically been fired. Plus his obsession with Lee Chae-Young is... creepy. But Ae-Ra/Hyun-Jung was the real protagonist/"woman in a veil" all along.-

The FL plays two roles with different surnames. Ah hah... lost family.
Probably a twin. This gives me Wife Returns/Good For You vibes, where the rich/"bad" twin avenged the good twin's (often the FL's) death or injustice.

So basically... this is a daily drama version of Penthouse.
If the FL is morally grey and doesn't hesitate to kill anyone, then yes. But I haven't gotten that vibe at all from both the teasers.
5 hours ago, partyon said:I would think twice about watching this drama if I were you. No abs.
What?! Noooo! The abs are necessary! But if the FL is smart (and semi-villainous) I'll watch. If the revenge is good I'll watch. Gotta have that balance!6 hours ago, partyon said:I highly doubt it will be good.
Miss Monte-Cristo wasn't too bad. And I liked The Second Husband, as well as A Secret House.

What is the next drama after this and is there a thread for it yet?.
Elegant Empire, and yes there is a thread. Here it is.
4 hours ago, Chickpea said:The synopsis for the drama lists all three women as villans.
Villains? How? Where? GU as a villain??? When she's been a dumb doormat this whole time?
4 hours ago, Chickpea said:So, the hoard from Hell manage to kidnap GU in SR's body. Do we think some violence happens and souls switch back? But that means SR is around somewhere even though all the script has been about that poor soul's death.
I wouldn't be opposed to this.

Chingu. I am lost. I don't even know if Serin's dead at this point. Nothing makes sense anymore.

And this drama is ending on Friday? Looking bleak for Serin, no?
Yes. I'd be surprised if the souls never switched back, but I'm not holding much hope for her anymore. Maybe the writer will actually surprise us.
3 hours ago, partyon said:Here, another Taeyang gif. Just for you, chingu.
He's so handsome!

3 hours ago, partyon said:Daily drama script writers should really come up with new names. Been too many Taeyangs lately.
How about Taecyeon? @Lmangla sweetie would like it.
Agreed. I like GU's name though. I definitely wouldn't mind a Taecyeon either...

Did Serin die or not?
We still don't actually know. I'm assuming that they're done filming at this point, so...
3 minutes ago, partyon said:Tayeang's back!??!?!?
Oh my. It's been years since I've seen him.
3 minutes ago, partyon said:Taeyang has been in every daily for the last year or two.
Must be a daily trend.

so far, the writing and directing is not scattered. none of the characters are jumping all over the place like it happened in that drama.
As much as I hate this daily, you're right. It's pretty sensible here and much less of a mess.
4 hours ago, Lmangla said:so I think serin is still alive and will show up as a last minute twist. it does not make sense that GW will continue to live in serin's body for the rest of her life and use serin as her identity.
the drama's theme is about reset and things getting back to how it should be. so with that theme, it would only be appropriate if serin and GW switched back in the end and that can only happen if serin is still alive.
Exactly. Maybe Alex Lee has something to do with it? I believe that's possible. It is also possible that she didn't die and she may be hiding somewhere, or she might've went abroad. I sound delusional but Serin is probably my favourite character in this drama.
1 hour ago, Chickpea said:click past any drama with "veil" in the title...
Any drama. Don't even look at it.
1 hour ago, Chickpea said:There's a cracked mirror and OSR's reflection is GU. A mirror reflects reality. The mirror is broken, reality has been shattered and the image in the mirror is GU not SR. What do I make of this? SR is an illusion, GU is reality.
Interesting. I didn't pick up on that till you said it. I always thought it represented their lives being "shattered" because of fake-Aera. Or their lives being shattered by revenge. I wonder what it means.

the promos and poster had all 3 women shown prominently indicating all 3 have equal importance to the plot. if serin was a character that just disappeared so suddenly, why would they promote the drama that way? so yea, either serin comes back alive or something happened behind the scenes for her to be written out.
Yes, which is why I think Serin is alive. I am holding onto that theory (and most of the time my predictions are right.) If she doesn't come back, then this reminds me of Phoenix 2020, which ended up being a complete mess behind the scenes. The writers changed halfway through the drama, the male lead left/was switched, the FL was evil but, again, the writers refused to go that route at all, and it had terrible ratings leading to SBS shutting down dailies after Amor Fati. Ironically SBS had some of the best dailies out of all the networks.

I feel like the body switch element to the story is kind of pointless now. GU should had been played by the actress who is playing SeRin/GU from the beginning. Not the actress who orginally played GU.
A lot of people said the same thing. There was no point to it. If SR/GU is truly dead, most of the plot is basically useless.

Meant To Be's closing credit score almost sounds like Game of Witch's closing credit score. It even shares the same title pop up sequence.
It does. I thought I was the only one who noticed this!

I enjoyed Love Twist and Vengeance of the Bride, and Red Shoes (to a certain extent).
I did not watch Love Twist, but I did enjoy Vengeance of the Bride (I really liked the female lead and how strong she was compared to this one.) I also liked Red Shoes because of Choi Myung-Gil. I love her.
I also loved Miss Monte-Cristo.
37 minutes ago, Newbie21SG said:This serial has always been on the low side in terms of ratings, compared to 2021 or 2022's KBS2 daily dramas
Yup, this daily has very low ratings compared to the previous ones. And writers do change stuff sometimes because of ratings. I explained the controversy in Korea regarding this drama in another reply.
38 minutes ago, Newbie21SG said:BTW, this serial will be replaced by Elegant Empire https://mydramalist.com/753279-elegant-empire
on August 7. So, only 10 episodes left at most after today.
Which I'm excited to see. I've dropped this drama a long time ago but I'm waiting for Elegant Empire. I hope the acting, the characters, and the script are better there. The only other daily I'm watching right now is Meant To Be.

i don't think Serin in GU body is alive, she is dead
Nah. Not buying it. Her death was way too quick and there's a lot of plot holes regarding it. It's just bad writing if she's dead. She wakes up out of a coma just to die? That makes no sense at all.

Greetings, chingu (bowing emoggi). Okay, I look forward to how writer-nim is gonna pull off resurrecting SR. It's not like the resurrection of the dead has never happened... it's happened at least twice that we know of... so we're into it now...
Greetings chingu.
Hooray! I've swayed you! Dailies tend to surprise us.
SpoilerIce Adonis killed off the male lead.
And A Vindictive Woman had the guts to kill off the actual protagonist at the end.

But in Episode 88 again someone mentions SR's death and Uncle being in mourning...
I know. But that doesn't mean she's truly dead. In most dailies, if a main character dies, there's a funeral. Plus no one's trying to catch the killer, as you said. And there's still more mysteries to be solved, plus Shin Go-Eun is a famous actress.
1 hour ago, Lmangla said:similarly, the actress playing serin is also known. it wouldn't make sense to give her essentially a cameo. so the writer has more twists up her sleeve.
Exactly.
1 hour ago, Lmangla said:at some point, serin will pop up again. as you said, we haven't had the mandatory putting flowers on her grave scene to confirm death or anything on those lines.
Indeed. Also, there's been no indication of an investigation, we haven't seen her body in the morgue either.

I wonder how the fact that GU's body died with SR is going to affect this drama and the fact that it was the Demon who chased her sister to her death at the hands of her husband/ex-husband. All these relationships are getting jumbled. If SRs body lives but SRs soul has departed, who is alive? SR or GU. Who did the Demon kill, her sister or her nemesis? Who did YJ run over, his ex-wife his wife or his sister-in-law or a complete stranger? If Uncle was in mourning for SRs passing, I don't mind not seeing the funeral but why doesn't it appear the police are looking for her killer?
This is why I still think SR is alive, because there's SO many things that need to be explained. And she is a core part of these explanations/conclusions. Plus, the souls have to switch back at some point. And I believe it was in the synopsis too that they'd switch back. Or on the KBS website, if I remember correctly.

Thanks for keeping me updated on the story i stop watching the drama when SR got her memory back and decided to join AR team.
You're welcome chingu. I stopped watching at that time too.
3 minutes ago, Yazusa said:this writer must of run out of ideas so she threw in this story line to stretch it out and i guess her promise to SR is she can wait.
This is the MIAV writer... we shouldn't have expected much for this daily, I guess.
Again, still convinced SR is alive, based on the dialogue I can sense a return at the end.
4 minutes ago, Yazusa said:I think i will go back to Meant to be where the story of the FL and her getting out for revenge.
I already dropped this drama a long time ago, Meant To Be is definitely better and the FL is smart there. Same writer as ice Adonis/Yellow Boots and Bird That Doesn't Cry/Sing, which were good dramas. The beginning is slow, though. But the FL is driving the villains insane.-

they could be pretending that SR is dead to protect her from the villains coming after her, like the ML did in AMIAV with a fake body and watch. She can't wake up for such a short time just to get killed off again like that
That's what I said! I truly don't think she's dead.

revenge dailies are the best. But like you said it takes times until the revenge starts. Like 40-60 episodes.
Those are the dailies I pretty much only watch. I might start Apple Of My Eye, though. I rarely watch "brighter" dailies.

my other bias in Bigbang!
[Drama 2023-2024] Elegant Empire - 우아한 제국 - Mon to Fri @ 7:50 KST
in k-dramas & movies
Posted
For Wife Returns, the FL's twin was introduced in episode 3. The FL was forced to separate from the ML (by his MIL) to save her daughter's life. And the ML remarried someone else, the second FL. The twin FL was trying to find her sister, but then the second FL killed the FL and the twin FL decided to get revenge by pretending to be the FL.
And for Good For You... I think the story you told pretty much happened, but I can't find it anywhere.
