Have you seen the reviews/comments for this drama? The writer's gonna get fired soon. Both Korean and international viewers are BOMBING this mess. There's so much controversy in Korea about it, and the ratings are terrible. Writer-nim better save himself before it's too late. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liyahsbutterfly Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 6 minutes ago, Lmangla said: really? tell me more. Basically, the drama is being criticized for how unrealistic it is. AR constantly winning and being the smartest, the bad acting (Shin Go-Eun deserves better), killing off SR (I think she's alive still), the sudden bad twists and turns, lack of any revenge, and how boring it is. "There's no excitement", said one comment on YouTube. "How long is this gonna drag on?" Said another. "This writer is terrible," another one on a preview I watched last week. "MIAV had great actors to save a bad script. This one doesn't." said a commenter on Viki. The drama's ratings have never gone above 15% either, since it premiered. Even the ajummas hate it. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are not going to do to her what they did to the father. He is the root of the evil chain now and so much screen time. The lawyer brother pretended to date her who was smitten by him. Now he has her as sweet love or something as unoriginal on his phone. The usual trope is for her to find out that he had pretended, break off, he realises he cannot live without her because she is so sweet blah blah, they get back together with a lot of sighs. It may take many episodes. I hope this is done virtual, like during the de riguer time leap. She was quite a nasty bit earlier on but not as nasty as the sister in Second Husband who bagged the baker boy. @partyon @liyahsbutterfly you are both hardcore international drama-groupie!!

shahila197878 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 15 hours ago, maribella said: I had asked that question earlier. GU's mother was in Vietnam and died at childbirth, either she was Vietnamese or Korean. So there's no way JAR is related to the Jungs or the Nams. I agree with you at @Chickpea JAR is evil and turning her into an avenging daughter is ughh. She thought it was the Chairman who had killed her mum but it was her FIL, she didn't know yet. Making the FIL a bad guy is trying to make a cookie cutter kdrama into something interesting and intriguing. Not working. They should have made JAR bad through and through like in MIAV. I am saying it again TY is JS's son. They didn't show the photo of the woman he was dating. I really hope he wouldn't have Savant syndrome. Soul switching then SS? He's just slow but he will recognise the woman and another secret is revealed. No romantic episodes for the lawyer and airhead please. My thoughts too! I was like... What's that? Same umbrella? They have never seen each other before? Yep, that's his gf and Tae Yang is their son! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maribella Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 The question now is will they find each other soon? Or the overfed brother will find out first and will send TY overseas or worse bump him off. The earlier goon is back. Will he be a good or bad guy now? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joccu Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I think the writer has lost ideas. But still this is not worst daily I have watched. Not even close. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah those comments appear in literally every single daily drama like someone said lol. I still think Red Shoes and Gold Mask were much worse. This one’s at least so unrealistic and ridiculous that it’s fun to watch. Dailies at least in this time slot aren’t meant to be warm and cuddly. It’s meant for a way for ajummas to vent out their stress in this chaotic mess or to just watch mindlessly. It does its job imo lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been posting because these last two episodes were, in my opinion, nothing burgers. Fillers. Looks like tomorrow's episode may have YJ's father shed blood by his own hands, though. And the Demon may be sending the truck of doom to take out her namesake and nemesis. Just wanted to add my two thumbs up to your assessment of the drama. The drama doesn't work because it doesn't stay in a lane. Is it based in real life situations about revenge driving a woman to pull herself up from the depths of poverty and society or is it a fantasy drama where souls can migrate and everybody accepts that and all that flows from it. The situations are "dumb" because the drama doesn't stay in the real life lane or the fantasy lane and that creates a dissonance in the story. I think apart from the soul switch this could have been a really great revenge drama. Does anyone know why the soul switch was necessary to the story? I'm not seeing it. Ah, well. Till tomorrow chingus. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kboramint Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 So, because that "SeRin" has died... Gyeo Ui lost her original body???? I guess they really aren't going to switch back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystaltears Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 plot twist - almost the entire drama is just GU's dream of getting revenge/reuniting with her daughter while living a new life when in reality she and TY's supposed to be dying in a coma already j/k they could be pretending that SR is dead to protect her from the villains coming after her, like the ML did in AMIAV with a fake body and watch. She can't wake up for such a short time just to get killed off again like that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
