at the start of this, was wondering if i will develop an interest cause sitting here for over an hr at a time, watching Hong Hui Ju get treated like crap by EVERYONE isn't my idea of entertainment. so am really glad for how this flipped by the end of the ep.*****************************************************************************************************************************************at the start felt bad & sorry for Hong Hui Ju, like not just a douche of a mother-in-law but that over bearing mother - just thinking what her upbringing must have been like, is depressing enough. then add in that husband (if u can call him one) treating her like a dog; stand, sit, come, stay.... like WTF. ******************************************************************get he is angry at her sister for jilting him, but why her mute sister at fault or deserves to be treated like dirt?!? just cause she happens to be around & cause of her disability, doesn't have a way to stand-up up for herself, let alone put her foot down & say "NO" to the marriage, that's been sprung on her. she now ur punching bag to vent??? *****************************************************************************************************************************************btw really wish they showed what happened to the kidnapper after the mini collision... she drag him out of the car & left him at the side of the road? or toss him over the side into the over growth???
hmmm... 1st off i really wish we didn't get the usual trope of the elderly chaebol who has a stroke at a pivotal moment - like sorry, but i don't care that Yoo Sun put up with his mistreatment for over 15yrs. she had an end game - she knew he was old & sickly, was estranged from his only heir, so if she kept quite & suffered in silence she would end-up with all his money. if he was a self made man, then it wouldn't matter to me much. BUT he didn't earn his money, it ALL belonged to his wife, a woman he treated worse then Yoo Sun, one that didn't just get abused but had to see her children suffer the same fate, which culminated in the death of her oldest son. that money/company/riches r Seok Jin's & i don't care if he got enough of his own - that money is his to burn for all i care. don't think Yoo Sun should get a penny - she got REX that's more then enough, on that part i agree with husband.*****************************************************************************************************************************************regarding the main story the only reason i am happy for the way it turned out, is for the kids. the adults(ノへ ̄、) Aish - Hye Seung's the type of FL that drives me around the bend, why she so miserly with her words? throughout this freakin drama people opening their heart, conveying their feelings & she says the bare minimum - which is frustrating. cause what we all need to read into her facial expression's? \(〇_o)/*****************************************************************************************************************************************anyway this was far from perfect & yeah there could be more; closing of issues that were just left open or glossed over to get to the ending. but i don't feel like i wanted more eps' this just could've been written better. on a whole this was good, but a one off.*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: like both the male leads but (in-spite of Lee Hyun Wook really good looks) Park Hoon hotter in my eyes lol not that it means i wanted him to end up with Hye Seung, if her personality was a bit warmer maybe then i would feel bad for him. the way it is i think he lucked out
what is Yoo Sun up too, how she know congressman Yoo Sun ordered Hyung Joo to marry Yoo Hee & why she keeping tabs on Yoo Hee?!? let alone why she give Hye Seung the info that would frame Yoo Hee??? if she didn't get involved doubt Hye Seung wouldn't even think about Yoo Hee. **************************************************************************************************but i guess she wants to get rid of Yoo Hee, so Hyung Joo will marry Mi Jin & she thinks this will do it, even though Hye Seung got no power & the law for sure not gonna help her, so what is the point of fueling this fire \(〇_o)/******************************************************************************************************************************************must say the mother's here r just bad (there a ton or bad-guys here & slowly everyone is reveling their true colors, which might be great if they also didn't get what they want), the gaslighting & manipulating is frustrating to watch. here Hyung Joo's mother thinks Hye Seung is unworthy, but she thinks Mi Jin would be a better wife & mother - really? does she even care for her son & grandchild or just cares for the image they would portray as a family? cause that is what she will get, just a perfect image - but nobody is gonna be happy in that family, if she gets her wish.******************************************************************************************************************************************especially with the 180 Mi Jin did with Seok Jin, when she found out he comes from money, now he note worthy. now she wants to be "friend's" b*tch plz ( ˘︹˘ )
lol... but after the finale in this ep i doubt this is the end of Yoo Hee considering there still 2 more eps to go... Yoo Sun was sure she was gonna get rid of two birds with 1 stone. while she might have caused a rift between Seok Jin & his father, she couldn't get between Hye Seung & Hyung Joo, now wonder what will be her next move.********************************************************************************************************************************************also Mi Jin was hyped rubbing it in every time she saw Hye Seung & Seok Jin together, only to turn into an after thought by the end of the ep. ********************************************************************************************************************************************said this before & will say it again Hyung Joo needs better friends, Ho Chan the lawyer is a bleedin moron & Choi Sung Jae [Lionsoft CEO] is a rat.
must say the amount of manipulator's in this drama is mind boggling. everyone conniving & strategizing. ironically until now they even succeeding, they just gotta open their mouths & whoever it is, just falls into their trap blindly. idk if i am shocked or scared at how the women here r getting away with murder...*****************************************************************************************************************************************almost 5 eps in & my favorite character's r the kids. Min Ji & Jun Ho ironically look alike & even their personalities r quite similar (maybe Min Ji's is a bit more feisty) but they so pure hearted & good, hard not to love them - considering how the rest of the characters r a mess (even the "good-guys").*****************************************************************************************************************************************Hye Seung with her one step forward 5 steps back is disheartening to watch. & sadly like the usual cliché of a K-drama FL the one person she chooses to take her anger out on is Seok Jin (who like the typical SML) is like a martyr going above & beyond trying to appease & help his 1st love. that's why having a hard time liking Hye Seung (even if i am rooting for her hoping she gets her revenge). *****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: Hyung Joo a self made man is a bit stupid & gullible. he happily falling for anything anyone says in this drama - how he survive until now let alone keep his billions is beyond me. not just Yoo Hee, Yoo Sun or Yoo Sun, but his supposed best friends aint worth sh*t - but he can't sense something off??
must say idk what is going on in Yoo Sun head (or what her grand plan is). like i kinda can guess, but still the way her head works is very complex to say the least. **********************************************************************************************************am sure that Hye Seung didn't choose anyone, so Yoo Sun could've set-up a date between her & Hyung Joo just cause he choose her. but she needed him to date (only?) Yoo Hee & see her for her conniving ways, paving the road for Mi Jin. she for sure didn't have to do Hye Seung dirty, as she did. especially after hearing her story & seeing how much she was suffering, no need to rub salt in her wounds \(〇_o)/ she wouldn't help & that i get, but why throw her to the wolves? that blind date was unwarranted....*****************************************************************************************************************************************also i didn't get Hye Seung rushing to contact Seok Jin, what their coffee together made up for the rejection & anger she was carrying around? to me it just felt illogical & just something to force Seok Jin & Hye Seung back into each others lives. which is a pity, considering i Know for sure that Seok Jin will not only be the second fiddle, but will never "get the girl".... *****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: Mi Jin really is very beautiful, pity she has a really bad personality . there is zero reasons for her to be that cold & standoffish towards Seok Jin. cause of her attitude i keep wondering, is she only nice to people that she can derive benefits from? otherwise they nothing & don't deserve even common courtesy... if so how she better then Yoo Hee???
i really love Min Ji, she got guts (unlike her mother), but she should've known better then to get into a car with a person she came to confront (the "bad-guy"), she for sure needs a stronger parental figure, the fact that Hye Seung's is back to cowering is frustrating me to no end. **************************************************************************************************************& i am sorry, but if anyone threatened my child (& i don't have children) i wouldn't wait for that person to add threats, but would make it clear that if anything happened to my child or they hurt one hair on their head, i would search them out & scalp them, slowly! to damn with rules & laws. *********************************************************************************************Hye Seung's passive, submissive approach to things is rubbing me the wrong way. especially when she needs to safeguard her child, from a crazy, immoral person like Yoo Hee. her "talking to"/blaming her dead husband was stupid - cause sorry that's the past & NOW the fault lies squarely at her own two feet. she should've done better to shield her own child from Yoo Hee.*******************************************************************************************************************************************the masquerade ball could've been so much more fun, if Hye Seung didn't just throw jabs & walk off. i would be laughing my ass off every time she acted the damsel in distress. as is Hye Seung not there cause she's looking for a partner, so why not have fun? especially at Yoo Hee's expense\(〇_o)/lost opportunity if u ask me
pretty sure Hye Seung is looking for Yoo Hee & not some man at the masquerade ball, yet she didn't notice the tattoo on the shoulder that bumped into her?!? plz **************************************************************************************************************************but did like that in this ep, she didn't look terrified every time she had a confrontation with Yoo Hee. as is Yoo Hee's doing too much - Hye Seung has done nothing that is worthy of Yoo Hee being this paranoid, let alone fixated on her - unless its her guilty conscience.. either way she is really scary & obsessive. **********************************************************************************************************************************************also Kim Ji Sun [Rex Manager] is really unprofessional, she keeps reporting needless things, adding fuel to a none existent flame. which is fueling Yoo Hee paranoia regarding Hye Seung. **********************************************************************************************************************************************i know Hyung Joo is the ML & he's very good looking & maybe is ML worthy in other regards too. but i have a soft spot for Cha Seok Jin, who sadly i have a feeling will end up the SML, who wont get the girl. idk why K-drama writer's have to make the SML always this pitiful - like having a miserable childhood & solitary adulthood wasn't enough - the women he will fall for, he will end up not getting either \(〇_o)/ why he not worthy of a "happily ever after"!?? what grudge the K-drama writer's got against SML's idk(ノへ ̄、)**********************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i Really love how Choi Yoo Sun is styled. as is she so tall & being quite thin she could look unproportionate with the wrong styling - but the majority of her wardrobe only compliments her body-type.(wish Hye Seung was better styled 😫).
seeing Kim Hee Sun as the submissive, insecure, cowering Hye Seung is such a 180, from her as Goo Ryun in Tomorrow. Hye Seung needs a bit of Goo Ryun's anger & kickassness... i get being dependent in every way on someone so much so that the sec u lose that "support" u feel like u r free-falling into the unknown & there aint nothing more terrifying then that, especially when u got a child to support. ********************************************************************************************************plus when ur blindside like she was (with the sudden divorce request), i get her still trying to hold on... but after getting played once why she readily believed what her husband told her? cause he ended his life? or cause she needed to believe he just got duped by a femme fatale & wasn't a bad-guy that had been lying & cheating for who knows how long, but it was the other woman that had lead him astray - like he some innocent babe \(〇_o)/......********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************cause IMO Kang Nam Sik is a total douche, that kinda deserved what he got. he betrayed not only his wife but his whole family. choosing the "out" he was adding insult to injury (as a lawyer he KNEW that all his debts & problems would be heaped upon his family - i.e. his wife). so not enough he betrayed & then abandoned her & his child, he now was leaving all his mess for her to deal with/pay for?!? but cause he was conned by Yoo Hee, so he not the bad-guy, she is?!? or cause he couldn't see an out so he took his own life, so he deserves our pity? really??? sorry - doesn't work that way!********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************yeah Yoo Hee a bit of a psycho & one heck of a con-woman. she already got what she wanted from Nam Sik, but that wasn't enough she needed to destroy him & his family??? why ask him to divorce his wife? why turn to his wife with her sob story? i didn't see the logic in her involving Hye Seung, unless she bored & so sadistic she needed to destroy anyone that came into contact with her - hard to "get" this type of personality or thought process.... ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************hope as this progresses Hye Seung grows the kickass backbone she had in Tomorrow & stops being a pushover! cause she looked terrified half of this ep - which i get & yet it wasn't fun to watch. so for her daughters sake (who showed more grit then her mother) i hope she gets stronger.
his was great and knowing that the lead (i was rooting for all along) isn't among us anymore, made the whole ending goodbye - eerie... bittersweet for sure.******************************************************************************************************************************************would've loved more, but they came full circle with the midtown collapse they started off with - and its beside me why people keep looking for a romance between both leads, there wasn't even a hint of attraction between them, all along they were mentor and mentee - and that was perfect - why muddle the waters with emotional claptrap?!? **********************************this was perfect the way it way, not a boring moment and for sure a rewatch, of course happily recommend this...
this episode was hard to view, i had to stop and take a break - not cause of the content but the pity party Shin Chul was throwing himself. i get he was feeling guilty, that maybe there was a chance he was at fault for Jae Geun's death. but still too give up not only on himself but the whole team of Argon was moronic. isn't it a reports job to find out the truth - so why lock yourself away and act guilty - when he knew he didn't threaten Jae Geun, yeah he hounded him - like reporter do, but if that is ur personality and he aint a spring chicken that has just started out on his job - he had been doing this for decades, to cave in the sec it gets tough, was annoying and hard to swallow.*****************************************************************************************************************************************oh well this is short anyway.. only one more episode to go - out with a bang? fizz out quietly?
WTH was going on, the report was rigged by the company - for what purpose? to mislead Ahn Jae Geun (as they suspected he might betray them and leak the news) or Ahn Jae Geun did it to mislead Shin Chul and get him off his back?? and why he then chose to commit suicide?******************************************************************************************************************************************and why is Baek Jin leaving Aragon?!? where he gonna move to, he still gonna be a reporter so what's he trying to achieve - just wants of ot team Aragon?? cause of Shin Chul saying he voted for Yoo (which was a d*ck move, he could've voted for a neutral guy instead of the enemy. as he rushed to accuse Baek Jin, when he wasn't even involved - guess love blinds, where he forgot the character of the person he has worked closely with for decades) or cause he thinks it time for new blood to take over??******************************************************************************************************************************************side note - have said this before but will say it again, i'm happy with the existing relationship between Baek Jin and Yun Hwa - they gold as they r - no romance needed - the chemistry between them is way powerful and trying to force them into any romantic situation would sully the situation - as another commenter also mentioned - him being her senior not only in age, but work experience and someone she looks up to and wants to learn from, it is a different dynamic - so just nope....
if i was Korean and Anyone asked me out for a meal, i would say "sorry, i'm fasting" - i seriously donno why they like to f*ck with peoples appetite - u don't do that. ask someone out an just so u can insult them or berate them while they r trying to eat - who wouldn't lose their appetite or choke on the food on the way to their stomachs - this is unnecessarily cruel. **********************the sec Soo Min took Hye Ri out for a meal - heck when Hye Ri wondered why she was calling, i knew it was gonna be bad -but Hye Ri assuming it was coming from Baek Jin, or the whole team was moronic - and the go-to alcohol, is really annoying - that solve what??*****************************************************************************************************************************************side note - WTH kinda confession was that from Soo Min - and why only 10yrs. Baek Jin's kid is 15 so five yrs after she was born Soo Min fell for her bff's, bf?!? needs to get her facts straight, cause from what she said in a previous episode she meet Baek Jin in college, and liked him then - while he fell for her bff. so either Seo Woo is really 10 (she looks around that age lol) or Soo Min's bad at calculating the time she knows Baek Jin.
Baek Jin knows there is a mole on his team, why doesn't he or Shin Chul try to find out who it is, seeing that Jin Hee backstab her teams continuously is so infuriating - the fact that she has saved Yoo in her phone as "my darling" how revolting. what she also f*cking him - like how gross can u get.*****************************************************************************************************************************************wasn't sure about Choi Geun Hwa, like he keeps acting neutral - and didn't know which side he was on. like did her genuinely like Baek Jin and was on his side or was he just faking it. considering the revel in this episode he genuinely likes Baek Jin - sad.*****************************************************************************************************************************************donno about Baek Jin's move to "news 9", he is Aragon - what will it become without him(?) i'm like Yun Hwa i don't want him to "move". but on the other hand i Really don't want Yoo in a position of absolute power - as is his always threatening to hit people, is getting under my skin i wanna hurt him - bad.
Yoo Myung Ho is such a corrupt MOFO and his tendency to just go off - ugh donno what pisses me off more - i just want someone to punch him in the face and shut him up. but he is a kissass so people like him tend to succeed in the corporate world.glad Baek Jin is smarter than him, and has a found a way to get to the truth and broadcast it before Myung Ho gets a heads up from his mole (Jin Hee the two-faced b*tch) and stop Baek Jin.******************************************************************************************************************************************Jong Tae is a sweet weirdo, but hope did his item get scooped - did someone leak the info - was he backstabbed or just bad luck?!?******************************************************************************************************************************************Baek Jin and Yun Hwa's chemistry is rockin - the only bit that makes me mini-cringe is the fact that he is her senior in some decades. she might not be underage - but still cause she is such a novice and he is someone she looks up to, turning this into anything other then a great mentor mentee relationship is a bit yucky to me... maybe with time ---
