  1. @partyon ~ thinking about your comment earlier regarding the writer of the drama. I was reminded of two dramas. one was "good witch" (2018) - inspired by the peanut incident on korea air. the chaebol lady in the drama dumps some noodles instead and her hubby who was a regular guy starts going bad in order to run off. in the end, their marriage is all sorts of tragic dysfunction. there was no romance happy ending for chaebol lady. she was mean and reaped what she sowed. however, the drama itself was mostly quite funny, in a makjang sort of way. the other was the old melo "war of roses" (2005) -- it was a total weepie. so FL is a serious miser. the way she grew up means she never enjoyed life and penny pinches on everything. basically her super negative attitude means even her family are exhausted. hubby is very unhappy and starts liking someone else. just as he asks for divorce, FL finds out that she is having cancer. hubby feels emotionally tied and has to stay. then FL goes through the process of grief where she finds she never lived her life and some of that was her own choices. she weeps and it ends. basically she dies offscreen and I guess the drama was about how we should live life when we have it. or something like that. I can see queen of tears veer sharply from comedy to full on tragedy. 786
  2. if this was a makjang drama, I would be sitting there with popcorn because you know the ML will burn the house down and they will either end up in jail for financial crimes, end up in loony hospital or end up dead from some terminal disease. but this is a rom-com which means he is going to still end up with these loonies and hardly anyone in rom-com ever acknowledge how bloody stupid they were. am all for people changing but as long as they take accountability and there is true redemption. a chance of that happening in rom-com is pretty much slim. so I am rather meh on the drama. there are moments in ep 1 that are good but the ML is so desperately unhappy that it is uncomfortable to watch. sadly, there are hardly any dramas these days that are interesting to watch. so lack of options is more annoying. 784 kekeke.... I actually don't remember anything in that drama other than the stupid ending. I have drama amnesia!
  3. don't remind me of that messy ending. I was always torn between getting irritated and laughing my head off at the absurdities in the drama that were really funny. 778
  4. kekeke.... the difference is in daily dramas the good guy knows it is bad and will fight. the bad ones look confused or too chicken to speak up. but it is never shown as a good thing when it happens. instead, the FL will ask the guy why he is allowing it to happen because it is his responsibility to look out for her. here, the FL comes across as super cold and ambivalent. she does not care that her hubby is being insulted. for me, the reaction and acting like this whole thing is a joke and a parody is what rubs me @partyon. like @kokodus says, we have seen other dramas do this kind of thing but it is not shown as a joke or treated as something normal. there is always super dramatic music and all sorts of over the top expressions that tell you that this is not good. I find the tone of this drama weird because I don't find it funny that people are being treated with such contempt. that said, there are other moments in this episode that I found amusing and so was able to finish the episode without tuning out. now, will I watch ep 2? most likely not. 774
  5. @partyon ~ what I found troubling about FL and her family was contempt for pretty much everyone and the constant paranoia. I get it -- they are rich and so people want to use them. so their way of handling it is to put everyone down so that they can't be taken advantage of. this includes all the sons-in-law who came from lower status -- now why would they purposely choose all these men? because it is easier to manipulate people who are lower than you and dominate them. they do this with constant disrespect, threats and intimidation. then they wonder why they are lonely. eye roll. FL telling her brother kwakkie not to disrespect her hubby just made me eye roll. if she felt so strongly, why didn't she speak up at the family meeting? why does she let her family steam roll him and act like it does not matter. she is letting it happen and therefore, becomes a passive participant in the bullying of ML. as for ML, I thought he got gold digger thoughts and decided to stick it in for the three months and maybe love bombing her in order to get the will re-written in his favour. I did wonder if FL was really sick or just lying as a way of manipulation. I watch enough true crime to know that people are bizarre -- sometimes they make up diagnosis as way of emotional hostage. 770
  6. 768 @partyon ~ that was my assessment of ep 1 as well. so not motivated to check out ep 2 though @sweetroad says FL is bit better in ep 2. maybe I will see if I am bored this week.
  7. see, it is confusing right. those huge lines on his neck. I can't tell if it is because of age or because he lost weight weirdly or some skin problem. his neck does not match his abs and his face... 744
  8. just one of those seasons.... . whole of ep 1, I was thinking, "he kind of got old" and I was confused by how he has age lines on his neck but no corresponding wrinkles on his face. guess, he put fillers or something? I am confused. 744
  9. @partyon ~ I haven't watched the documentary. Maybe later when I am not so stressed out. Right now, am too dazed to even watch dramas on a regular basis. sigh. 744
  10. not sure if I will get around to ep 2. the FL is not really likeable and none of her family seem like real people. instead they all seem like a horrible bunch. rather than a love story, I want the ML to get divorced. better to have self-dignity and respect which is why he is so miserable. so if that is the real life inspiration, no wonder the divorce got nasty. re: @sweetroad 742
  11. my favourite scene was when the psychiatrist calls up his wife and tells her that he loves her and she hangs up on him LOL. then he sighs and says, "yes I am happy". it cracked me up and reminded me why we all love gossip so much. when we hear other people's misery, we realize that our lives are actually not that bad. hahahahh... too bad that it was just a cameo. I would have found it fun to keep seeing him... also, am I the only one disappointed that we never got to see those cows that he was bragging when he proposed to her? @Ameera Ali
  12. 750 to chingus celebrating ramadan -- hope you have a good month. another year of oscars happened, wasn't really aware till I saw it on news. mostly got a meh from me. only pay attention when something happens like a slap.
