Beyond Makjang

This is one of the best daily dramas I have ever watched.

I was so stunned that it's by the same writer who did Second Husband.

This is so freaking good. It is the most batshit over the the top chaotic free for all I have ever witnessed. AND IT WAS GLORIOUS.

So much slapping. So much hair pulling!!! The villainess gets beaten with a mackerel!!! Uncle and nephew daughter vying for the same woman. Mother and daughter marrying the same man!!!! Baby swaps, murder, kidnapping, extortion, blackmail, amnesia!!! It has everything.

I wouldn't call it revenge though. Because trying to get someone to do prison time for their actual crimes is justice more than revenge. It was very well written and acted. The writer learned from criticism I think. They even added this line: 'in dramas bad people get hurt or get terminal illness. This is wrong because it hurts innocent people who did nothing wrong and are already suffering.' I was SO HAPPY to see that stated. And some of the shit was so wild you can't even blame the good characters for not anticipating it. The villainess put her mom in a dog kennel to eavesdrop!!! Who does that?! Overall the story is good and while the good people do some silly stuff, they also do smart things too. I actually got emotional a few times and it was great seeing Seon Ah as the heroine for a change.

Also the ending is perfect. Anyone who says it's not satisfying, I don't know what the heck they want. It suited the characters and it was epic. I hate it when evil people randomly repent and get forgiven. I had flipping chills when Se Ran went all-in. She knew there was no other ending possible. Her life was in tatters. She and the chairman were two of a kind. No other ending was possible. It was a freaking mic drop. 😍

Picks up around episode 65

So this is a daily soap opera korean drama.Its suppose to be dragged out with unrealistic story lines where everyone is related but not lol.With that said,the storyline can still progress without these FL playing the dumb and naive wife.It took too many episodes for her to come to her senses & for the storyline to stop dragging out.Like another reviewer said I let it play in the background or fastforward to around epi 65.when I started looking 4ward to seeing it everyday.I didnt like the ML at 1st but now hes grown on me.

Orphans, Birth Secrets, & Corporate Greed: Extremely Entertaining Easy Watch

You know almost everything and you're just watching to see how and when the characters find out. It starts off slow, but then the drama escalates exponentially. A lot of absurd, hilarious, and shocking moments. Barely any romance; just a few touching moments.

It's an ensemble cast with a lot of characters, but because of the amount of episodes you get to know each one without getting confused. The acting from the adults and kids is great and the writing makes even the villains understandable.

Jung Da Jung's character is written super annoying at the beginning; perhaps to show how much she grows throughout the show.

JDJ got on my nerves; so I was team Kang Delulu Se Ran from beginning to end.
Yes! ; She deserves all the slaps and she took them like a champ!

Mentally draining, , full of fiasco, tiring , Reveng is a joke!!!!

Update:
if you have anxiety, bp problem, ulcer and temper , i highly NOT recommend you this drama . Just reading the feedbacks of 127-128 ,it already upsets me of how crazy and rediculos this drama is!

I won'mind watching a long series drama but at least if it's making sense. This drama , not only long originally 122 episodes but they extended it to 132 episodes, for what???? To show more how failures and losers the main leads are , and how smart evil people , and always the leads of winning from ep 2 until at this recent episode (126).

It was started good in first 2 episodes but right after that and until we are almost now to the end of this drama ( just 5 more eps left), it is a non- stop scenes of villains succeeding their evil deeds, and main leads specially the FL, she's one of the most naive ,undesirable heroine in the kdrama land to me. You would think that , since she started being a naive and weak in the early of the series her character would become smarter ,more meticulous and careful planning later for her enemies but as the episode by episode progress later , her character became dumber and dumber and its just all the talk and not the work. And when she executed her plan, it so lame and it even backlashed to her. I hate her character being so always so secretive (her principle is suck! because it's her issue so she will solve it by herself) and not opening to the ML , where he is more capable to help her, but instead she married the chairman and it became more chaotic.

Also another one thing i hated also in this drama is , there were so many " almost caught and many almost revealing the truth moments" , oh my gosh my bp really spiked every time it occurs in most of the episode in this drama, it just only stopped when its in the 90's episodes.
From very early episode of this drama until we are now in episode 126, the evil people keep outsmarting and winning vs the main leads. FL came out strong not until the 90's episodes, and I cannot say bad to the ML's character bcoz he is always there for the FL , its just the FL character to me almost throughout the drama doesnt really impressive , her carelessness and her pride that she can manage her revenge is just all failures.
Writers will just gave the viewers a little taste of winning from our main leads which we thought it will be continuos since we are a lmost already to the end of the drama but nope , writer is not yet done of planting many obstacles and torturing the main leads.
Romance, don't expect either, so far were now heading to only 5 more episodes left but throughout of this drama so far, theres just only little scene of the main leads being together and being lovey dovey, it just very slight and it even so awkward.

5 more episodes left, i hope the writer will focus of romance to the main leads and no interrupting punishments and put a lot of consequences to this evil people mainly Chairman and Kang Se Ran , she doesnt deserve to have JH, JH deserve to have a decent and good woman( but i have a feeling there will be a happy ending for them , bummer😡).
Chairman and Kang Seran should be locked up in jail or i dont know maybe have themsome kind of a car accidents.
Chang Chul a number 1 cheater and amazingly has no conscience, make him become a homeless or some kind a disable . He should be on JH position now.

As for our main leads, Im sure the writer will give the viewers a happy ending ( no sorry but your drama is suck! ) but i have a feeling it will be rush. But the process of their sufferings in this drama is so mentally draining!Im only finishing it bcoz i already invested my time . But from now on any drama written by Seo Hyun Joo, ill 100% pass.
Overall, to me this drama is not worth watching. Im not recommending this to anyone! In fact , it's one of the stupidest, craziest, mentally draining, so painful to watch drama Ive ever seen in my 4 years of watching drama in kdrama land.

Most tiring drama ever

Okay, I admit, the storyline was a bit interesting - although it is a bit common. The reason I was able to watch 25 episodes was because i fast forwarded the 30 minute episodes due to boredom to:

1) the main female lead. The drama wants to portray her as a goody two shoes, saintly good girl but she just becomes annoying and annoyingly nosy. maybe it's because of her personality, it doesn't give out a sweet innocent vibe.
2) the chemistry between ML and FL is just boring.
3) the male lead is such a dork.
4) the Dream Food family as a whole. the Father CEO and the "real" mother of FL relationship is such a drag.
5) the Dream Food CEO's nephew and FL chemistry is a FLOP. No chemistry at all. UGH.

There are some good parts tho:
1) Villain female's acting is good to the point that you root for her LOL. I was yelling, "switch the baby!" rooting for her.
2) the Villain's storyline is kinda like pitiful, although the mother was evil but you know how emotions will take you when you know your husband cheated on you.
3) the Grandma Bobaejung is cute.

I can easily predict the ending though.

FL gets divorced. Dream food CEO's nephew is divorced and will get together with FL. FL's baby didn't die - she was adopted by Nephew's family with his auntie (real mother) DF CEO's 2nd wife as the grandma. ML will be together with female Villain, their daughter Soo Yi is their daughter anyway. Annoying FL will be proven the real granddaughter - lives happily with Ahjumma and An Na (adopted daughter of nephew). Meanwhile cheating ML ends up with female villain and remains poor.

ALSO ... WHO WOULD WANT TO WATCH 120 EPISODES OF THIS BORING PREDICTABLE DRAMA? Please end it at 25!

Too long

This movie had the makings of a great high rated movie. However, the unnecessary long drawn out episodes are ridiculous!!! This movie can be completed in 24-32 episodes! Limiting a movies out to 25 minutes per episode has an adverse effect!!! Most people do not want to devote their time to a drama of such!!! Making the episodes short doesn’t work… increase the length of the episodes to at least a hour are so then people will be more apt to devote their time to , watching it, therefore increasing ratings!!

WHY same Drama again

Daughter of a cheater will get cheated by her husband
wrong one will be shown as hero because they are main leads
and victims will be shown as villain because they both start with V

Jung da jung husband will cheat on her with se ran then at end he will cheat on se ran too for da jung but da jung will get rich jerk that will turn into saint for her,

hence prove mother and daughter both are good at using there body to there advantage
..............................................................................................................................................MBC arent you tired of making same thing again and again
Kudos to all the Ajumas who watch same thing every time they show new program
