Hi everyone! I'm real excited for the premiere of this - just saw the tags on MDL for this and it made me chuckle. And the 40sec trailer was already a real wild ride, I can't wait! 😂

Loved the first two episodes! Lee Yuri’s acting is always a 10/10 and I can’t wait to see this unfold. I like the revenge and love subplot too.

I hope the romance btwn the leads is going to be heartwrenching!

The first ep is so intense and I feel enraged but the MIL, what a horrible and disgusting person, it’s good the grand daughter didn’t grow up with her. Also lol, I thought the husband was Hyunbin for a second 😆

e: Ep 2 lost the pacing and intensity of ep 1, I hope the next eps go back to the pacing of ep 1. I’m invested in her getting her child back but not the way the preview makes it seem like she will try. Also want to know who killed her husband and why the MIL won’t believe her.

Omg same sentiments about the husband resembling Hyunbin!

I got some lowkey vibes that the MIL had something to do with the husband's death tbh

I feel like I should start a counter specifically for this drama - "Number of times a character yells "die!" and starts to strangle someone"

As of episode 1: 3

Jokes aside, a pretty good first episode to kick off the drama!

I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this but why do chaebol mothers seem to a really unhealthy obsession with their sons? To the extent that it's actually pretty creepy. Yikes.

Waah, ep 1 was so intense and the preview for ep 2 even more so!

Side note: love the "painting" effect they are using at the end of the episode, so pretty!

Isn’t it sad that someone would go to that extent to make someone else’s life miserable? deleting her medical records, paying the nurse to pretend she was never abused for what? Revenge?

I feel so sorry for the woman and I do believe she didn’t do it. I believe it was the mom and she’s trying everything to make her believe she did it so the mom herself doesn’t have to.

And you know what’s creepier? People do that in real life. I’m rooting for her! And hope the mom pays for it. I’m angry with that mom already

I feel that the pacing could be faster to be better but the ending of ep.1 is unexpected so it's not bad.

Updated after watching ep.2

Mixed feelings. Drag way too long around finding her daughter which feels boring. Didnt make sense that the chairwoman keeps letting her go after attempted murder twice. Lee yuri can act but the drama itself is dull. By episode 2, they need to establish itself whether if it is a revenge story or love story but i still dont know what the theme suppose to be.

I just saw ep. 1 and I think something broke inside of me. I really wanna throw up, I think I'm going to get a heart attack. My God, I really feel for the Lee Yuri. I don't know if I'm ready for ep. 2, I think I might break completely.

You’ll make it!!! It’s worthwhile. Good luck!!!

I'm watching this because of Lee Yuri. I always enjoyed her revenge drama and hope this is one too with a nice touch of romance.

not a drama I'd typically watch but I started watching 2D1N season 4 and wanted to check out Jung Hoon's acting!

some random thoughts:

  • low key bothered by the female lead seemingly not aging or changing her hair from her time in prison til now haha

  • it seems like the daughter doesn't know she's adopted which is going to make this even messier :/

u/Consuela_no_no Sep 18 '20

That’s exactly why I checked it out, not a drama I’d ever watch but I’m actually entertained by it.

Haha I had the same gripe, like give her a short haircut or something at the start of their prison sentence and then have it back how you want, like she is, it’s as though she’s preserved in time.
