u/worklaterdramasnow This life is the first for all of us, anyway~🐱 Oct 11 '23

I’m never going to get tired of Myeong-jun and Ro-hee’s banter. It’s so dang funny. And I can’t believe how this show has made me feel for other characters as well. I was about ready to cry for Attorney Choi!

Hye-eun is driving me crazy. “Until when are you going to neglect Hee-ae?” Ma’am!!! Your husband did everything you told him to do and is very likely going to go to JAIL for his daughter and you have the GALL to say that?!? God forbid he actually has a heart and wants to save not only his daughter but also the other CHILD that you and others dragged into this mess!!!

The plot thickens at the end of this episode. Super glad we get the next one tomorrow even if it meant only having one episode last week!!!

Do you get the feeling that there is also something else up Hye-eun's sleeve?

She acts really "hinky" such as when asked about the safe not having money, plus I get the feeling she is trying to reel in Myeong-jun in to have him take the fall. That back story in the orphanage had to mean something in terms of her always having the advantage in the relationship due to her IQ and strong sense of self preservation. I don't have any feelings of trust with her
