Sounds like a comedy drama.

That's why I called it a farce. It wasn't funny and she is a good actress.

 Found it. Becoming witch. It's supposed to be different.

@partyon , @liyahsbutterfly , @Lmangla, @joccu isn’t enough they recycle the same revenge doormat women they recycle posters too

@maribella your Barbie elegant oppa rocking the pink 

[maribella]

So that's elegant man. He looks like a flamingo.

His room has a lot of pink too.

[liyahsbutterfly]

I don't know if it's just the theme/background music, but this drama feels way too lighthearted for a revenge daily. Is it meant to be that way?

[Ameera Ali]

 the plant is more precious than her

 

sorry guy , if no one will help me , I will save myself

Girl this cheep wig  will not make different  - will make people stare more

It's the first episode, and the Second Female Lead is already commiting crimes. Money Laundering??

I have a feeling, they want to make this show more of a comedy and less melodramatic.

Who really knows. I have a feeling that the makjang will happen by the end of this week's episodes.

Definitely a possibility. A daily with the ML being the main villain is something new.

They did more than that, its a Miss Montecristo reunion.

 

- DF Oppa (who looks terrible)

 

- Top knot Ahjumma (with better hair this time)

 

- Sleazy thieving Dad (better dressed) 

 

- Miss M's Mom

 

The same chair in both posters was also used in promos for Red Shoes ... they're certainly getting their moneys worth out of that prop

The music & dialog is way to goofy for a revenge drama - I hope Writer/PD-nim grow out of it quickly

I don't think the ML is a villain (yet)

 

He seemed shocked when he first sees the FL in the elevator, but not in a "you're supposed to be dead" way.   We need to see the dynamic of punching bag boy with the FL  - is it going to be as the flashback showed us, mentor/pupil?  Or is he going to be the love rival to the ML?

 

 

BOLD EPISODE 1 PREDICTION -

 

Ms Headbutt & Mr Broken Nose will be an item by the drama's end. 

 

 

 

Lastly, is it just me or has our FL been "augmented" since we last saw her in Witch's Game?  I'm not complaining ... just making an observation ...

[backstreetboysfan]

I liked the first episode, please stay good lol. Also  sorry no ratings yet for yesterday's episode.

Yes, based on the teasers it looks like the ML's wife has been killed, and her twin has come to avenge her death. 

Oh okay thanks for the info.

He seems to be alright that his wife money laundered with a politician.

The synopsis describes Shin Ju-Kyung as a perfect mother and lovely wife with a great career until an unexpected incident steals everything from her. I'm hoping that we could see that in later episodes that show flashbacks.   

[maribella]

This looks like a great show for us to 'discuss'. 
 

As usual, the ex- husband did not know of any twin. Nor her own mother? Yes, she remembered giving birth but it's like Man in the iron mask, the other twin was spirited away to some place. She thought the baby died.

 

The SFL and the little girl were from Love Twist.

 

I agree @liyahsbutterfly, it does not give a real revenge feel. The FL was haughty and sophisticated at the airport, then she was all fiesty, girly and impetuous girl which was more fitting to an early 20's person. I hope this won't remain the atmosphere or it will become a farce like Becoming witch.

where? She still looks like a stick like in Witch's game. Nice stick.

[kboramint]

Also, notice that the ML's father died a year ago AND it's been a year since the FL last talked to her twin. This might be important to the story. Also, the actor that plays ML's father is on the supporting cast. Which means he'll appear soon but how can he when the first episode shows that he has already died. In flashbacks maybe?

He knows that she's manipulating the assemblyman, yes.  Does he know she's money laundering? He wasn't in that scene

 

That aside, I was going more towards who the killer is - after seeing her in the elevator, and even smiling at her abrupt wardrobe change, he strolled rather unconcerned into the garage ... if he was in on the murder, I just figured he'd be alittle more upset seeing his "dead" wife.

You are correct.

I myself, don't think it's the ML that killed his wife. If I had a bold guess. It could be the SFL

He didn't get vibes that she looked like his late wife. It's a little lift. 
 

If he did not then she would know he was her ex BIL and she should be very conscious of changing next to him. 
 

That head butting woman is like SR in WIAV, only less crazy. She is not cute.

 

I hope it gets better.
