  1. he didn't survive. not sure why he survived 10 story drop only to die later in some forest. very strange.... at this stage, I won't be surprised if heruculena ends up being innocent lamb and MIL died because of ji chang or romeo chairman or someone else altogether...
  2. yea, I hope she and her family gets complete privacy without people speculating further. at the same time, I do think the palace really bungled up. I have no idea why they would put out a photoshopped picture that would get rejected by mainstream wire agencies. either, they could have released a message without a photo or an old photo or they could have gone through a more creative option where you show a sense of home without showing faces. they could have just browsed through istock, getty or any of the photo studios for ideas. wow, that sounds like a nasty divorce. one of the comments in the article said she has not seen her son and is asking for info on him. +2
  3. kate middleton has announced that she is undergoing chemo after cancer diagnosis. well, now that it is open, hopefully people will stop with the conspiracy theories wondering what happened to her... @partyon +2
  4. I don't think the writer cares about cheating because in this drama pretty much everyone is cheating including the ML and FL
  5. I think hye won will end up losing custody of her baby because she doesn't listen to ji chang and is instead obsessed over her own rage. he does warn her that grandma will go ballistic but she thinks she is one step up from grandma. so when she loses custody, she will blame hye ji. she will also be face adultery charges. when ji chang tells her his boundaries and asks her not to hang out with the lawyer behind his back, she mocks him by calling him emotional. right, that will just inspire feelings of love. face palm. I don't think she was ever in love with ji chang to be honest as she seems to think that he has no opinion worth considering.... since the secrets are out, it will be a continuous "you hurt me" till the end. something will happen where hye ji gets upset with hye won and so on and on. this drama should be called two wolves because I think they will tear each other apart and only in the end, hye won will say with regret, "I should have stopped back then."
  6. thats why I think the two sisters are actually very similar. they both are driven by rage and whether or not it makes sense is not relevant. @maribella -- neither the drama or the actress convinced me she had a deeper bond with MIL that supersedes ji chang. I actually thought hye won was faking affection in order to get into the good books of MIL just like she pretends humility in front of grandma. hye won also does not come across as strong but more a refined version of unhinged compared to her sister. I don't see a kumbaya ending that @LeftCoastOppa hopes for. I think hye ji will end up in loony bin or ending up doing some self-harm. I won't be surprised if hye won will end up in jail because she herself won't stop kicking the hornet's nest.
  7. that makes sense but what I don't get is why hye won is absolutely disinterested in knowing what happened to hye ji in the 25 odd years or so. she literally has no interest and is very dismissal when hye ji hints about how mom is a leech. she gives off a "I don't care" vibe and her sole interest is in MIL's death. the drama hasn't given me any insight into why this woman is more obsessed than her own hubby on this matter and why she would keep going behind his back about it. the only people who asked, "what happened to her?" were the dad and aunt. dad is too guilty and heartbroken to relay some of the abuse hye ji endured. right now, hye won's reaction feels like deflection. if she had to know what happened to hye ji, then she would have to take accountability for what she did as a child. she doesn't want to know and would rather be blind. she comes off as very cold to me. re: @LeftCoastOppa
  8. I had dropped the drama but decided to check it out to see if it had gotten any better. it surprisingly has settled in more into an even tone. I still can't stand hye won and find her a weirdo for being so obsessed with her MIL's death so much. you would think ji chang would be more upset but he wants to move on. found it interesting that hye won is obsessed in some ways in this tug of war with hye ji even before knowing her identity. feels like these sisters are the type who really can't get along even if they tried. I find it interesting that hye won for all her wanting to find hye ji has not tried to find out what it was like for hye ji growing up and what were the battles she faced. instead, her focus is on MIL's death. weird. I like that they showed that the marriage was disintegrating piece by piece as they had bad communication where both really don't see eye to eye on key issues. maybe it is because hye won is a few years older than ji chang but the woman does not trust him to do anything. she always gives him info super late and then gives pikachu face when he gets upset. face palm. on his part, he was really struggling after his mother's death and he wasn't getting the support he wanted from hye won. so if it wasn't for the baby, this would have ended in divorce even earlier. ji chang having an affair was inevitable in some ways because they were very distant from each other and just missing communication signals completely.
  9. caught up on the drama -- yohan and dajung continue to be the side characters. maybe thats why they are getting the privilege of being cheaters. hahahahahh does anyone recall any daily drama where the leads are openly cheating? actors playing noel and jihoon showing acting chops in last week's scenes. characters with real brains are noel's driver and grandma's secretary. too bad they are not the leads. hahahahhaha....
  10. @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
  11. 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!
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. @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
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. @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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. poor JH. he look so sad. can he hook up with taekwondo secretary of grandma and cheer up??
  22. 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.
