@Elchan, LSE has such a sacrificial spirit that i could see it happen. If it comes to that, i hope that she chooses her own happiness, though.

@chickfactor That is such a weird theory, because Seo Ban has always been on of the steadiest men in the show, and because he appears and behaves in much saner way than his brother. I wonder how people come up with these theories!

@chickfactor Is this because they might be rewriting all the last episodes to make a way for (cough cough) a season 4?

I never thought i'd say this, but am having withdrawal symptoms from not having watched the Sunday episode (episode 10). This season has been surprisingly entertaining, and i still have some hair left (compared to all the hair i pulled while watching season 1 & 2). Oh my! What is happening?!
(ghost emoji just because, lol)

Is it me or does Dong Ma seem to be copying his big brother? That is what his rushed marriage makes me think about, plus the fact that he is courting the best friend of his brother's fiancé, plus all the efforts he has always done to insert himself in Seo Ban's life and to show his affection to his brother... I do think he is attracted to SPY, but am still getting a younger brother immature's copycat vibe here. (I could be wrong, of course.)

Watching episode 8. Reactions:
- OMG. Seo Ban's dad is so extra! (toxic!)
- After meeting his dad, i like SB even more, and i have more empathy...
- Snow time: saw SB smile big for the first time!!!
-
SpoilerSPY taking a picture of her leg and sending it to DM.
Me thinking: record yourself screaming instead...
- When Dong Ma says, "I was craving ice cream on the way here." All i could hear was: "I was craving (...) SCREAM..."
- SPY and the mistress 30s wondering if Grandma had a personality split and waiting for the other shoe to drop... => That's us wondering what happened to Phoebe (the writer) and why she is giving us everything we want (though no one asked for an extra ghost, lol)!

I hope for no more death, and no crushing of our hard earned hope and enduring viewership, and no alien invasion, or zombie apocalypse. Let the humiliated wives find happiness, and may SP show DM what's up and be the one wearing the pants in this relationship! ;-)

SDM and SPY, and on why they were each at that medical facility where he saw her :
SpoilerShe was getting cryotherapy. (am laughing at the pun on "cry-o-therapy" and her literally screaming so loud it startled people, lol)
He was getting a corn removed.Such a sexy conversation!
Now at 3:21 minute-mark. Am rolling on the floor laughing! I almost joked in a previous post that SDM acronym reminded me of the word SaDo Masochist, so how funny that it would his acronym, while his love interest's would be SPY (as in spying), but it seemed so impossible, in my opinion, that the writer would dare to joke about the character having similar tendencies as in his acronym! It's impossible to watch this drama with a straight face, hahaha!-

"On March 12, the third season of the hit drama achieved its highest viewership ratings yet." => Does that mean a season 4?

Reacting to episode 5.
1) Paraphrasing the dialogue:
Seo Ban's brother, DM: "Ga Bin, i love you. It's because i love you that i can't marry. You will thank me later."
Mistress who is also an actress, with sarcasm (?) and tears: "Thank you, oh thank you so much!"
About DM: At this point I actually think that it might take much acting skill and energy to not show any emotional reaction.at.all. Not during the wild rides at the attraction park, not while spouting the lines and hearing the unusual answers.
2) What Dong-Ma and Pi-Young romantic relationship might look like if they had one:
During a romantic evening: SDM is about to confess his love, or about to hug his SPY. Phone rings. DM: "I'm sorry, it's work, I need to take this." SP: "Of course, I understand". SP resumes doing crosswords. DM comes back: "Where were we?" SP: "You were about to kiss me before you leave for your business trip to Timbuktu in an hour." DM: "Ah, right!" DM leans in for an embrace. Phone rings. SP picks up, looks at DM: "Sorry, it's work. Be right back!"

@lebeaucouple From episode 1 I suspected the husband to still be alive, and every episode has kept the theory going... It ruins the fun a little bit, since guessing this so early.

Episode 15: I'm waiting for Ga On that he can think steps ahead of his opponents, like Yo Han. I'm at 4/5 into the episode, and it looks like GO will be on his own. Please, stop being so easily swayed and manipulated, and once you pick a side or commit to loving people, stick with it and see it through. Either you trust or you don't. I still want to support your story arch before this show is over...

Hello, did episode 5 air?

Finally just saw the ending of today's episode... I'm still recovering from Soo Hyun's death. Several of you called it when the series started. It still sad and choking. I can't wait to find out what that man from the church that burnt down told her. Thank you for the nice summary, @ferily. That show is covering several string and sensitive issues...

@ferily I agree with you, Soo Hyun does love Ga On, both romantically and as a friend who really cares. I said she didn't because i felt a bit frustrated by her reactions and the silence about their feelings... I know this is just a TV show, but in real life i feel like life is so short, you have no guarantee that the people you care about will be there tomorrow. This is just a personal feeling...
I think she almost lost him several times (he's had reckless behaviors before due to his parents' death, such as when his professor helped him when he was arrested by the police), and she is really afraid of something happening to him, not just being hurt but maybe death, which is why she keeps insisting Ga On stops working with Judge Kang (too much danger around him)... which is why, I think, she brings up how important his safety is to her even after he confesses his feelings.They've known each other since Kindergarten. She said so, explaining that it was the first time she proposed to him (she added that every time she saw him break down, she didn't know how to comfort him and she would spontaneously take him in her arms without thinking and propose...). She was talking to Judge Kang's niece...
Edited to add a side note: I am now 53 minutes into episode 13. Am I dreaming, or is this the first time we see all judges with the exact same robe? I think that before, when the show was being filmed, Judge Kang always had addition garments with his Black robe, something crimson and gold if I remember well. Here he is all in simple black like the other judges. I think this is symbolic of all of them, now that they have joined his fight, being on equal footing. Maybe it means that he doesn't consider himself below him anymore, but real collaborators. I'm not using the word "partners" because in the end I think he still has some authority over them.

Lessons from the Devil Judge, 1/2 through episode 13:
- In a dystopian Korea, no healthy, mature romantic relationships exist.- Childhood friends who are in love with each other, are their early 30s(?), appear to have never dated, don't know how to confess their love for each other...
- At this point i'm thinking that Soo-Hyun is not in love with Ga On despite her repeated, understated show of love or proposals (that they pretend are not to be taken seriously), but she is suffering from a savior complex.

My suspicion has been confirmed with the ending of season 2: the writer is BHR.

Reaction from episode 16:
Oh my!
Spoiler- Dinner with the 3 ladies, and Mr Seo looks like he's ready to kiss 50s wife just right there!! It's that chemistry that made us ship them in the first place. Even BHR noticed how he looked at her!
- SB turning down BHR was priceless!
- 40s wife calling the ex' girlfriend to pick him up after drinking...(Good acting!)
Now about that final scene: as i expected, the ending didn't make sense, as once again it seems the writer only went for the shock value with disregard to any logic. If the ending is a dream sequence, we don't know whose dreams those are. If it's not, still doesn't make sense.
Either way it feels idiotic.No season 3 for me, though this train wreck of a series started being addictive (tuning in to see how bad it would be each week) and this whole watching saga was only fun because i got to "meet" and speak with all of you.

35 minutes ago, africandramalover said:
50s wife will definitely end up with Seo Ban, tho I prefer a young hot guy for her to dent mattresses and break headboards with. The competition between 30s and 40s wife is a plot point to let them end up embarrassed at their belief that 50s wife isn't worthy of him and will force Seo Ban to make his stand clear by officially choosing 50s wife. It may push 40s wife back to hubby. Seo Ban is what's making 40s hubby orbit his wife, so they'll have to talk at some point.
Your reasoning makes more sense than the writing of the script has done for me, so far... Which is why i'm ready to be dumbfounded by the finale...

Just finished episode 15. Writer-nim, you can't tease us with the premise of a dinner with Seo and the 3 ladies, and not let us know how it went.
I don't like the preview, w/ Seo coming out of a car looking like a groom. He better not be marrying Hye-Ryung, that would be one of my biggest disappointments.
I command Lee Tae Kon for his portrayal of the annoyed Yu Shin living with two unpredictable women. My laugh out loud in this episode were A Mi and Dong Mi battles, paired with YS holding his head in despair! Is he the one paying the biggest price out of all 3 cheating men?-

Reactions from halfway through episode 15:
- Loved the smile of 40s wife, when she is driving to work after the talk with her ex-husband, watching him wriggle in jealousy in front of her, and demonstrating to him how his self-righteousness and accusation were so misplaced...- I think she genuinely is interested in Mr. Seo... Staying up late to make thin pancakes was kinda cute imho...
- In this drama i noticed that I prefer classy reactions when faced of trashy humiliation from cheating husband. It felt good when we thought 30s wife was genuine in treating her in-laws and ex-husband well after accepting to divorce, but I also understand her wanting to take revenge. In that same vein, i admired 40s wife for offering a cup of coffee to A Mi, but still not pretending to be cool with the situation or be friends with her.
- We get way more screen time of 40s wife and SB than of 50s wife and SB, which makes me think the writer might be setting things up for 40s and Seo to end up together... Making peace with it... I'm still annoyed to not see 50s wife growth and healing from all that has happened. Every time she's on screen she is dealing with unpleasant news and is sad, which is depressing. Has there not been at least one moment where she started to feel like she was gaining some thing in return, no matter how small? Is there anything she has done for herself (beside buying new clothes) as an attempt to get over the hurt of the divorce and betrayal?
- 30s husband being rewarded for his infidelity: I think the writer, here, makes a point about how men, even when they are in the wrong in cheating on their partner, seem not even being given a slap on the wrist. Society treat men and women differently in that regard, it seems. The man cheated, the mistress stole someone's else husband. How are the parents justify their kid keeping his job and becoming the star of the law firm by saying "the righteous always win"?!! *slap on the forehead.* That's delusional, yet it happens in real life, too.
Spoiler30s husband: "I don't feel an ounce of guilt toward Hye Ryung
Me: I don't feel bad for the press conference she gave and how bad she made you all look.- Hey-Ryung manipulation tactics have no end in sight: just realized her "natural look" has more to do with imitating 40s wife than it is a reflection of her new self: she hasn't changed at all. I think she has noticed that SB and 40s wife have been spending more time together, has noticed how SB used to treat 50s wife too (who is also very "natural" style wise), so she might have figured she has a better chance at getting his attention looking like that... She is also clearly trying to play the victim and sympathy card. Reminder that she is an actress: I'm never sure that any emotion (tears) she shows in front of an audience is real...
- Seeing 40s husband filled with regrets and drowning in flashbacks of happy times brings me enormous joy.-

What I've enjoyed the most about the drama is the conversations on this thread, and how you made the most boring episode (was it #12? The one with just the 40s couple arguing for an hour long?) the funniest with your comments and analysis. Though we might all have different perspectives on the topic, i also appreciate how deep the conversation goes. In that sense, i think the writer succeeded in getting us engaged and invested in the drama. Much appreciation to you all.

[Drama 2022] Love (ft. Marriage & Divorce) Season 3 결혼작사 이혼작곡

So... I'm about to watch episode 10, but need to check with those who've already seen it:
- Will my heart be broken at the end? (had a stressful week and am trying to relax...)
- Is time, yet, to start a petition of some kind to Phoebe, with some specific demands? (lol, one can dream, right?)
