Prettysup Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Korean netizens comments of episode 1-2: "Money Flower" Jang Hyuk - playing with chaebol and politician within his hands ... the beginning of infatuation 1. [+1085 -32] This is really interesting. Jang Hyuk is the eldest grandson. He is pretending to submit now for the sake of revenge 2. [+855 -44] Really interesting, Jang Hyuk's acting is crazy 3. [+781 -30] The atmosphere is overwhelming. The last scene, in order to take revenge for his mother, he hides his identity as the grandson to climb upwards. 4. [+522 -20] Even the OST is daebak 5. [+251 -13] This is actually from MBC ... (MBC) has hope ... Really attention-grabbing, every scene has great impact, the pace is very fast, the actings are all great 6. [+213 -7] It has been a long time since we get a good quality weekend drama. Although it is still about revenge, it has been long since we see a male-centric revenge drama. Obviously Jang Hyuk entered the company with the intention of taking revenge. 7. [+195 -2] I watched today, and I agree with the broadcast of 2 episodes consecutively. The degree of immersion is not to be joked, Jang Hyuk's acting is impressive ! 8. [+172 -5] Have not seen a drama like this for a long time. I can strongly feel the masculine flame of desire. MBC has put its heart into this. Jang Hyuk acting and charisma are zzang, it feels totally different from his character in "Voice". http://m.entertain.naver.com/comment/list?oid=109&aid=0003659113 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry58 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Just finished both episodes too. Very glad the flashback to KPJ's past is short and interesting. First time I see tofu with gold leaf served on a silver platter- sign of the really rich. The servants and furnishings of the house are impressive, the clothing and accessories very classy. Very fast we learn that KPJ and JBC are half brothers so KPJ is the eldest of the 3. So KPJ has a crush on NMH so he spy on her- hope we see more love scenes Sy's dresses, makeup and hair styles are great - makes her so pretty 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it that JH's role is that of a manipulative man who does everything with his revenge agenda at the back of his mind. But when you watch what he has gone through, you can't help but feel sympathy for him. He is such a complex character. I love the scene when young KPJ jumped into the water to commit suicide and he saw his mother and himself and his little brother under the water....it is such a sad and touching moment..especially when his mum pushed the two young kids up with all her might while she sunk deeper as a result... I feel that JH's acting seemed to have gone up a notch higher again! The tone of his voice, the subtle change of his expressions, he has such a riveting and magnetic screen presence... it's like I might miss something in his acting if I look away. Not to mention, he is so hot and charming in the show! !! So the 'father' whose ashes he was carrying into the lake must be his foster-father after both his real parents passed away right ? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so maybe KPJ survived from the water because the man helped him and took care of him since young. and I wonder about the male assistant of Jung Mal-Ran. He seems to care about her so much like telling KPJ to comfort her. Maybe he also hides some secrets. by the way if NMH is married with JBC already , will it be possible for KPJ and NMH to be together at the end? or later they will divorce? haha I hope it's a happy ending. Please make KPJ happy. The drama is good. Can't wait for next week. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not only will NMH marry JBC later, they will also have a son together haha... Maybe they get a divorce later or maybe JBC died?? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The background music that comes every time for the scenes of KPJ and NMH sounds so sad.. and I actually feel bad for JBC some times haha He is incompetent but I think he has a good heart though. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I liked her better than Park So Dam there. Not because I dislike PSD but because PSY looked better with JH. I think PSY is a good actress and she deserves to be a lead actress. I can't believe talented young actresses are forced to play second fiddle to charmless, talentless, expressionless so called 'pretty' lasses. I think PSY has a lovely distinguishable face and her facial expressions are really good. I only saw first episode of the drama and I'm not expecting much from the writer though like the PD. So Kang Pil Joo is so much into his revange plot that he doesn't mind destroying life of an innocent young woman. I don't know how to like the lead character in such case. I mean if Na Mo Hyun was accidently caught in his web than I would have felt sorry for him but here he is blissfully stalking her and making her fall in love with that feeble JBC. What did she do to deserve this? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforntunately he mostly gets casted as a cold, flawed, and tragic man who has the weight of the past on his shoulders. His real life personality is completely different. He is quiet charming, sweet and adorkable (though a bit random lols). (I even wonder how does he manage to exude so much charisma on the screen.) When will he get to show that side of him I don't know. Why do writer continously want to him to play an unlikable character I don't know. I kind of liked first episode. The PD did great job but still the drama is full of most of the cliches of the k-dramaland. I hope writer focuses more on the relationships and development of the characters and less on corporational and family feuds. We have 22 more episodes to go and writing can become weary midway. I'm still not sure what the main theme of this drama really is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After marriage , when everything is not what she dreams she will blame everything on KPJ. KPJ is the one who plans everything. I wonder whether NMH will really fall in love with JBC. I feel like her dad is kinda greedy too. Maybe there is an event which forces NMH to marry JBC. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry58 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 @fiesty8001- agree. Beautiful mind Seyoung better match for Jang hyuk, park so dam should end up with YHM's character. Ha ha I will forgive KPJ cos of Jang hyuk. He must want to take revenge so badly, he use NMH. She is a pawn and she is useful cos of her father. Maybe he didn't think it will be so bad as she is marrying into rich family. He will regret once he finds out she isn't happy. Also he thought JBC broke up with the girl- who knows she gets pregnant and have a hold on him 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get funds to fulfil his ambition and his daughter will get married into a really rich family. I guess in his mind money equals to happiness like for the majority of people and considering NMH's believe in fated love I think he is worried that she will remsin unmarried throughout her life. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standingtallyy Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I love the the first two episodes! It does have that dark, sad, revenge plot to it...who knows how the story will unfold...KPJ knows NMH rescued him out of the water. Only NMH is unaware of the manipulation going on around her...but I guess, overtime there might be a fierce side of her emerging when truth about her ‘happy ever after’ was controlled by people including her father...Though he may appear like a stalker (for obvious reasons), but I can see the tenderness in his eyes, even smiled, watching NMH in her vulnerable (drunken) state. When she touched his face...even responding to her babbles...looking forward to next 22 episode! Park Seyoung truly deserving of female lead. Good actress with very beautiful visuals...Jang Hyuk is oozing with charisma...as always 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mm...I wondered what could have happened in the past to his family that made him put aside his feelings and used the poor girl, what''s worse, someone he loved and had saved his life, as a pawn in his revenge plan. I think he is going to be so tormented later on. I love JH''s off screen personality too!! Too cute for words. That is why I miss Dragon club so much!!!! When are they going to show us ep 4..

tulip06 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 So, this is how I understood the ending of 2: KPJ is actually the half brother of JBC, but JBC and his mother JMR don’t know that, but simply adopted him in as a semi-slave. Pil Joo and his mum amd bro were tricked into going onto a dangerous lake at night, and the other 2 died while Pil Joo survived. And now, he’s worked his way into Mal Ran’s affections by being a tender son-type, and into Boo Cheon’s by always being his guard dog, and he is out for revenge. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
