[Drama 2024] The Two Sisters - 피도 눈물도 없이 - Mon to Fri 19:50 KST

[kboramint]

This is why the recent revenge daily dramas on MBC are better than revenge daily dramas on KBS.  

[maribella]

What on earth is going on?  HW is bent on sending HJ to prison, isn’t she? So why play her game? 

The FIL was tacky before, now he’s a thorough vulture, ready to swoop on the company without working. 

 

I need a break from this show.

Okay, so lets unpack this ...

 

- Kyung-Ja ... ( Hye Ji's accomplice & the actual murderer of druggie artist ) ... somehow was caught by Chinese gangsters, who had her in a deep freeze container on a ship, and had plans to cut her up to sell her organs.

 

- Somehow ... ( insert BIG exasperated sigh here ) ... Hye Won found out about all this, and staged a rescue ... on a ship ... against Chinese gangsters ... and got no press ...   Sorry to be nit-picky ... but with what army???

 

- Kyung-Ja has seen the light. She is now a steadfast ally of Hye Won for saving her life, and has agreed that at a time of Hye Won's choosing, she will willingly turn herself in to the police, and receive justice for killing the artist.

 

- Now, Hye Won finds the voice recorder that JC hid, and instead of going directly to the police, she concocts this attack scheme with Kyung-Ja to pretend to have the recorder stolen again. 

 

 

While I fully understand that daily dramas require some suspension of disbelief, this drama just went to a whole other level.

 

First - the voice recorder is the only physical evidence linking Hye Ji & Kyung-Ja to druggie artists murder - Kyung-Ja DEFINITELY knows that, yet Hye Won trusts/asks this known murderer to just stage an attack on her - and NOT TAKE THE RECORDER for herself???  Sorry, writer-nim that is beyond unbelievably stupid. 

 

Nevermind, that if Hye Won is so dead set on sending her sister to prison, why the deception at all? Take it to the police right then and be done with it.  If its Hye Ji's lack of memories thats the problem fine, but with the police holding the evidence, its a done deal when her memories return.

 

Second - the whole story arc above tears a glaring hole in Hye Won as a character - Not just for the stupidity involved in the decision making, but the glaring inequities in her treatment of  Kyung-Ja vs Hye Ji. 

 

She saved Kyung-Ja's life ( again, a murderer ), and has made an ally of her.  She also saved Hye Ji's life after the WTOD attack yet even after her sister awakes in an amnesia-tic state she makes no attempt to help reform her. Granted Hye Ji did alot more than just conspire to murder the druggie artist but still, even armed with the knowledge that her childhood attempt to protect her little sister backfired, and knowing now what Hye Ji suffered through, she gets no second chance at trust, yet a known murderer with her memories fully intact does?  Make it make sense. 

 

 

I've been enjoying this drama because they've gone in unexpected directions with entertaining twists ... but this one wasn't a "twist" it is a clean break.

 

 

P.S.  while the bromance between Goofy ML and Chad Oppa is funny to watch, one has to be a villain cuz Chairman Romeo & not-all-there Hye Ji can't carry the villain roll to the end.

I don't think these two are the villains because they are not pretending to be something they are not. Rather Hye Won supersedes them as she acts like she is just and she is the judge. These two are just in her way and so they are her roadblocks.

The writer has found an engaging bromance. The villains are going to be HW, HJ and Old Yoon. But the uniqueness of this show is that the villains will be fighting villains. 
I don’t think HW will go rotten completely, she’s a mum.

Just like Penthouse. She finally has a good heir.

Unless they kill off the son. Kyung-Ja died in today's episode, she got hit by the WTOD.

how many characters has been killed in this drama?

at this rate, we should have a poll on how many characters will be left still alive at ending episode.

It’s HW’s work.The kid looks like JC.

I am taking a break so updating myself from the forum.

Min Seol-Ah died at the beginning. At the end...

 

Spoiler

Most of the characters, including all the protagonists and except for a few, died.

No connection, random thoughts

Despite all the deaths, it’s highly watched. I saw a lot of partner swapping from the summary. Too gross for me. I’d rather watch Hollywood for that kind.

[maribella]

Is anyone watching this? I can’t watch more than a couple of minutes here and there. It looks like old Yoon is hooking up with HJ again. HW is demoted by the writer and she’s crying at the end. 
It seems idiotic and chaotic.

Yi-Chul is a nasty guy, but damn if he isn't right about some of the stuff he said to Hye-Won in today's episode! He became a director on YJ's board.

He also has a brain tumor (glioblastoma) with about a year left to live. He's decided to live as a monster (instead of atoning for his sins... but okay... dailies are nonsensical as usual.) At the end of today's episode, he also decided to marry Hye-Ji... oh boy... I do like her new hairstyle, though.

 

Hye-Won, of course, is fighting back. In the preview Yong-Ki was taken somewhere. I wonder who will die next? Since Hye-Won continues to go dark (most likely), will she end up killing someone next?

Can one of the aunts die? They add nothing to the story.

 

Chairman romeo was spot on in his assessment. Hye Won likes to talk big but she had the run of the company for 5 years. What did she achieve in that period? So she must not be that great at her job. She just thinks she is better than everyone. Also, he said what I felt from the start -- whatever happened between art MIL was between themselves. They were a couple. Who is Hye Won to poke her nose in? No one really. Her reactions always seem so overboard that she feels like the villain. 

 

Chairman Romeo is using Hye Ji as a tool for revenge. He feels Hye Won was the one who brought all the ill luck to the family and so the one who can cleanse her out is Hye Ji. He is going to sit back and watch the mess. As he is dying, he has also letting go of the past and going for someone he has always truly wanted -- regardless of who she is, he loved Hye Ji sincerely and she was the love of his life. So his actions make sense. If he had a good relationship with Hye Won, he may not have chosen that option but he can't stand her at all.

I like Yira, so she can stay. Maybe Min-Sook can go.

Exactly. It was their business!

Because she is, she just hasn't fully got there yet.

Further pitting the sisters against each other. That scene in episode 1 seemed like a dream, I don't think it's happening. Three villains in one house!

Now that I think about it, I can't deny this part at all. He did genuinely love her... however he still wants to kill her, so is it truly love anymore?

 

Everyone was wearing all black amd funeral clothes in the preview. Who died?

Not the boy? He is the cutest. 
 

I think it’s stepbrother next. He has not surfaced in many episodes.

 

 

I want to know the ending and the characters are becoming tiresome.  

HW could just say to old Yoon,” I’ll step back,  leave my son and me alone, here is my letter of resignation”.  End of the excruciating story.

The whole list of tragic/comedic events was spawned by him cheating on JC’s mother.  Adulterers always claim it’s their lives and their personal affair.  But in every instance and every culture, even permissive societies, other people get hurt, emotionally or physically or mentally. With or without the drama. 

 

The characterisation of HW as a mother fighting to keep her son seems to change to fighting for his inheritance.
 

Old Yoon now wants to have his cake and eat it; marry his young mistress, own his mother’s company and since HJ cannot have children then he would want to keep YK too. Keeping the company and marry his mistress seems to be his right. But I have never understood how the old woman could ‘have’ her great grandson over the mother and now the grandfather? Kdrama family law.

Who? Used to be just HJ, now old Yoon as well. But I don’t think it’s time yet. Still 1/2 of the show to go.

[LeftCoastOppa]

And the twists just keep on coming ...

 

- Somebody tell me I'm seeing things ... thats "dead" Art MIL in the preview strangling Hye Ji

 

- Just when I thought Chad Oppa & Goofy were gonna be besties, per preview he's hiding something from Hye Won

 

- Unless the secret above is bad, I'm starting to worry for our Goofy ML, if he and Chad Oppa do become besties, I think he loses in the battle for Hye Won ( ... or is that actually a win )  either way, he's been the steadiest/most faithful character in this mess of a drama so hope, the there/not there lawyer gf wanna-be is able to get through to him

 

- I don't think Chairman Romeo is in love with Hye Ji, I just think he's using her.

 

- Since Crazy Aunt is dressed in black in the preview, I think its the sane aunt who has died ... I just hope it wasn't in a fight with Hye Ji. 

 

- With the never ending twists in this drama, now I'm curious what the original story arc was supposed to be

It might just be me, but I've never really felt the connection between Hye Won and her son.  Yes, they have all the obligatory sweet scenes, but the son feels more like a character place holder required for her to have something to fight over with others - I'm just not feeling it.  The actress had more mother/son chemistry with Uni Oppas son in Miss Montecristo.

He was in this latest episode - saved an employee from a loan shark, so it looks like hes got a new gf

Supposed to be 104 episodes, so we're on the downhill run.

There are just too many threads so they could not focus on any screen time with the two of them only. Or maybe I had FFW too much. 
 

Are You watching Two sisters continuously  @LeftCoastOppa ? Good on you, I don’t have to a take a peek.

I liked HW in the beginning because she was a spunky FL. But after JC died, all she did was get into yelling matches or conniving. 
 

I can’t watch it when the 4/5 major roles are nasty or underhanded or bullying ( that's old Yoon or he’s the only one?) or conniving, HW, Chase, Old Yoon and HJ in that order. Only ML is watchable, even though boring now, he’s still a pleasant person. 
 

Stepbrother is back on screen, not shown who died?
