OMG...they are dropping like flies: coma, a white truck, and stairs in the last few episodes. We already had the over-the-cliff and the freezer bits.
I do have to say, Se Ra's mom is a great comic actress. Lover her loony character.

Well, was waiting for the grandma's coma moment and what a twist, it's a fake out.
10 points on something different.

They need to step up from the continuous high school romantic drama tropes and get into the plot. How many times can they eat street food or go to an arcade?

I am sure it's because Korea was hosting the Asian Youth Games and coverage pre-empted the morning shows. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/sports/2024/02/600_368013.html

I watch this show so I can hate it, actually, I fast forward.
The trainer is anorexic. The family is terrible. The father is a clown.

What was floating in the water....end of episode 9?

Some unusual clever writing for a makjang-style drama in episode 19. Adding the eavesdropper take on the melodramatic story added some nuanced layers uncharacteristic for this genre, yet it stayed true to the genre.
Again, I hope the adult Hae-In is one hundredth as good as the little girl.

The best consistent trope in daily dramas is the "lackey gangster gang available on demand". Second only to the "white truck of death".
A warning to gangster lackeys, inevitably, you will find yourself in an abandoned warehouse, tied to a chair, mouth duct tape, and getting punched.
I think all the daily drama directors have a contacts list with the actors playing gangster lackeys to call upon. Without the gangster lackeys, the antagonists (the baddies) would be powerless. Always available to appear where our hero or heroine is and cause havoc. Ultimately, they are not very good because they always fail, but they keep getting paid and stay on the payroll.
I particularly liked the lackey outside the DNA office doing the wild gesticulations in Mondays episode.
Trying to find any logic, reason or justification for the actions of daily drama characters if a futile endeavor. You must accept that is the beauty of the makjang drama style. Best definition from Dramabeans: " a sylistic, tonal, or narrative element in dramas that chooses to play up outrageous storylines to keep viewers hooked despite how ridiculous the stories become (adultery, revenge, rape, birth secrets, fatal illnesses, and flirting with incest possibilities are some makjang favorites).
It's about the ridiculous, and that is why I love them. Some writers are good at the ridiculous some are not. Some lose the storyline and thread and get contorted. The best makjang must keep the ridiculous with a semblance of the elements of scriptwriting.
Embrace the ridiculous and you will be free.

Liking this Daily drama, has all the tropes and I foresee some DNA test shenanigans. Taking bets on when we will go into the future...one more week? or Friday?

Is someone keeping track of the DNA tests for the old lady?
I actually think the evil one is very convincing as evil. The doormat is a standard issue doormat.
But wait, the old witch with the long hair is in the prison and she will help her with her revenge.
Waiting for the doormat transformation.

Kang Baek San the CEO is such an awful actor, I can't stop laughing every time he comes on. The lip twitch is hilarious

How did our heroine being a determined brave child, going off on her own, end up again in the grips of the "evil" one?
The transition of the years was not very clear. And who is the auntie? Did I miss something?

I wouldn't say this is the best daily dramas (there are plenty of HKG daily dramas that are much better and of higher quality) - but I wouldn't say it is one of the lowest quality either. At least, it has interesting elements in its plot to keep me watching and I hope it stays the same till the end of the run.
Did I say it was one of the best shows? LOL In fact I said it was the lowest quality but worthy of watching if you are an aficionado of KDrama of tropes

This show should be re-named: " No One Ever Dies".
This one is of the lowest quality of daily dramas, but a must watch. Must watch for all the tropes that are used.
Dueling DNA tests, reincarnations, dementia, transplants, murder....the list is endless.

Favorite part of this genre of revenge drama, when the interloper, the new wife, starts being her real self and torments the mother in law and husband. I am anxiously awaiting.

Without question one of the best dramas ever. The acting, the dialogue the realistic cinematography. It's quite slow and depressing, but up to now I am totally captivated by the mood. For the first time stories about average and or below average people and their struggles.
Some of the best acting I have ever seen in Korean Drama. The dreary dailiness of life with no possibilities is captured. What is interesting up to now, could be the prequel to the Squid games.

Why do they change the look of a character when the story arc changes? Hairstyle changes mostly, but now the father has a mustache all of a sudden. It's when they are about to go down I guess.

Oh, what a nightmare, thirty more episodes. Here we go thirty episodes of "Let's all torture each other by not telling the truth in the name of love". You all realize this is a ploy to not start a new series while the Olympics are going on? They are going to string us along. This is when you start just watching the Friday episodes and you will be fine.

[Current Drama 2023-2024] The Third Marriage - 세 번째 결혼 - Mon to Fri 19:05 KST
in k-dramas & movies

I loved this drama for one reason and one reason only: the "baddies" were hilarious. It was cartoonish but always gave me a laugh. The goodies were like a bad Scooby Doo gang.
This show had more slaps than any weekly series but could never match the kimchi slap.
