Man oh man, everything we don't want to happen, happens. There is a kind of love that won't die until one of the two is full destroyed and eliminated. It is like SM.

i didn't watch the original BBC Drama «Doctor Foster» in full, just compared the first 2 episodes (then I read the synopsis of the BBC show on the internet--don't want to have the heart attack in such short period of time, although I actually admire the British screenwriter because I watched his «King Charles III» before, so I know what he's capable of), but I am pretty sure the Korean version is more intense, and darker. I sometimes have to take a breathe before going on (once in the middle of Ep.8, and another in Ep.10). I sometimes do want the show give us some hope, but my hope may probably in ruin.

Just a heads up, according to my understanding, Yoon-gi is the original character in the Korean version, and no equivalent in the BBC version. I guess his existence just make Sun-woo more miserable, or will it?

The last 10 minutes or so of episode 10 was so nerve racking,, so many times I would sigh a breath of relief when In-kyu doesn't seem to catch up to Sun-woo and Hyun-seo and then when he started heading in their direction my blood pressure skyrocketed.

I'm really sad about the ending, I thought Hyun-seo would finally get away from her crazy ex. I realised this now that Sun-woo only ever had Hyun-seo to trust and vice versa and if Hyun-seo really is dead then Sun-woo doesn't have anyone by her side. The scene when Sun-woo gave Hyun-seo her scarf really teared me up..

I think In-kyu was the one who died -- not Hyun-seo -- and Tae-oh was the one who pushed him. At first, I thought In-kyu had forced Hyun-seo to jump together as a double suicide, but there was only one body.

If Tae-oh really did kill In-kyu, then he did two things right today -- the first was to expose Je-hyuk's cheating. "He was the one who made that woman seduce me." BS, you were the one who chose to sleep with her. Je-hyuk deserves it. They all deserve it. I don't feel sorry for any of them.

I hate how Show is redeeming these characters. Why is Da-kyung acting as if she's the wronged woman with her husband cheating? You were the other woman first. Who cares about her pity party.

Joon-young is still my favorite character, but I fear that he's going to start liking No-eul now that he know Hae-kang likes her as revenge for badmouthing his parents. But who does No-eul like? The whole Lee family is cray.

Ahhh, I love Hyun Seo's character!

SPOILER

I think Tae-Oh killed whoever died at the end of the episode! 'Cuz he was heading to the station.

I like sun woo when she is calm and analytical. But right now, she is emotional and she keeps confronting people head on, regardless of the timing.

I am always very suspicious of Chairman Yeo. Now I think he is a jerk. He should know even leaving Gosan won’t prevent Tae Oh from chasing after his son. If he means to separate the son from the mom, then I think he is the worst of the lot. In a way he is the real enemy coz he is cunning, cool and calculated. Yoon Gi is right.
So I hope Yoon Gi is truly a double spy as claimed.

Ye Rim, Hyun Seo and Chairman wife remain true to themselves. It’s a pity if Ye Rim is leaving town coz she has been silently looking out for her neighbor.

I don’t like No Eul. Though it seems like she is trying to do the right thing.

Joon Young is pitiful. I just hope he comes out stronger.

Tae Oh is a scumbag. Dae Kyung is foolish. Sun Woo’s colleagues are hypocritical. Je Hyuk deserves it. In Kyu deserves it.

Breathe. Pause. Breathe. Pause. Repeat.

Remember to do those two things when watching this show. Maybe drinking a little bit of water helps too. I can’t seem to watch this show straight on. Whew!

Everyone’s crazy. Plenty of subject for an entire psychological class. Hahaha. I guess, all that foreshadowing is not for nothing. Bring in the body bags!

Thank you for the recap! I don't think sun -woo realises how much she is becoming like Tae-oh. I hope she takes Ye-rim's advice before things get worse.

Tae Oh is fucked up, his behavior around Sun Woo is terrible....he kept asking her what she wants and I was like dude the lady barely is in your radar or line of sight. You keep seeking her out and the excuse of Joon Young and his prior is not enough to justify his deranged behavior anymore. He just wanted to have sex with her at that moment and that make him both mad at himself and sick that he can't let go and he is taking it out on Sun Woo. He has literally everything he does not deserve, a beautiful young wife, a child, a lavish lifestyle, even professional success, Joon Young is also on his orbit so what is his issue?? Sun Woo can do what she wants in her house, that is none of his business. Also what is wrong with all the Gosan ladies and gentleman. Sun Woo is doing her job, she is good at it and they are driving her out because of their insecurities. I get why Sun Woo wants to fight back because its not fair. She gets cheated on, she gets her head bashed in (Okay, she manipulated that but she only knows that), she does her job right and Chairman wants her out because his little princess needs to be protected from behavior of her husband. I hated how the ladies keep saying shit to her because she had one after hour drink with her superior. So, what, it was professional meeting. I both get why Sun Woo insists on fighting back and at the same time I want her to stop. This place is not worth the effort. She could be so much happier if she let go, that includes that son of hers, I think she needs a time out from everything including motherhood. Tae Oh can fill in for a while anyway. I know easier said than done but it is the only way Sun Woo can ever find some happiness. Myung Soo, Sun Woo was late once in her work, once and she is casually just mentioned her drinking habits. I really wants somebody to teach her a lesson, about time.

Best drama this year

Lion hope it doesn't end like the BBC drama and the female lead win at the end.. I have never root for a character the way I root for her

This drama is so addictive. I just hope we get Sun Woo's counterattack soon because I can't take more psychological torture. I'm also glad how the drama shows how hard it is for women in Korea in general - in love relationships, marriage, divorce, at work etc.

Also it's very hard for me to watch Sun Woo/Tae Oh scenes because Kim Hee Ae and Park Hae Joon have some insane chemistry. Sparks just come from their scenes - on top of the sexual tension. I don't root for them (of course) but dang do their scenes get me on the edge of my seat!

When everyone at twitter was being mad at Kim Yoon Gi and Hyeon Su after the shocking revelation from ep 9, I still want to believe them..

I was relieved when I watched the scene at the start of ep 10, I REALLY hope Yoon Gi sincerelly wants to protect Sun Woo and I hope Hyeon Su is not gone forever. They need to be there as Sun Woo's trustable alliance..

So many shocking twists and turns. My head is reeling.

Trust no one. I knew Yoon Gi was too good to be true. He has an unreadable face. He could be playing the Chairman, and may genuinely care for Sun Woo, but, hey, I'm not trusting anyone. The thing about this show is to have steely nerves and a heart of iron. Do. Not. Trust. Anyone. Even Sun Woo. She could turn out to be the unreliable lead in the end, where chunks of information are left out, only to be filled in later.

There is a dead body. Finally. I have a feeling it's the abuser. Because they led us to believe that it's the girlfriend. And knowing this show, it'd turn out to be the abuser instead. I am becoming so suspicious of everything and everyone. What has this show done to me? And this will become a whoddunit. The list of suspects is staggering. Sun Woo, Tae Oh and Yong Gi are the prime suspects. And knowing this show, you'd think Tae Oh did it....cheng cheng cheng, it'd most probably turn out to be Da Kyung. You owe me, she'll tell him, I know your secrets. Leave me, and I'll spill the beans. Other suspects are the Chairman and his wife. The boy? Hmmm.

Karma is biting. Da Kyung is now in the position of the jealous wife.

The love-hate relationship between Sun Woo and Tae Oh is toxic and self-destructive. I have a feeling Tae Oh will die in the end, sacrificing his life for hers. That is the only way to redeem his sins. He may even whisper, "I'm sorry" and "I love you. I never stopped" to her with his dying breath.

Okay y’all but how we feeling about yoon gi, the therapist, I feel like he knew her before, like a character from her past.. When I watched the hotel scene, when they first met, he looked as if he knew her from somewhere and kept staring. And then he says “I have to protect you”?.. what does that mean? And joon young having kleptomaniac tendencies, stealing precious items that were gifted to his classmates by their dads is quite sad but it’s been 2 yrs since the divorce, just like no eul said he is giving kids of divorce a bad rep. Plus I don’t think hyun seo is dead, I think it’s her ex, in kyu. I just get that feeling. Anyways I’m on the edge of my seat y’all!!

I am loving PD Mo Wan-il and Joo Hyun for their excellent work with this show.
Instead of following the original too closely like the first 6 eps, they make the 2nd half their own and also eliminating unnecessary sex scenes etc.
I love all of our actors, veterans and the young. Everyone is carrying their own. The music, my gosh I'm insane for listening to it and recalling every scenes from the drama.

Rock on to #1 "Couple's World." You surely deserve it!

I will write two comments.. This first one is dedicated strictly to Tae Oh.

First comment..
OMG, I'm sorry, hate me if you will but I kinda love this guy.. Tae Oh is funny AF because he is so crazy.. Lets recap, First Tae Oh was staring at Sun Woo on a date like that dude in the basement from Parasite..

My favorite scene belong to JH when he told TO he envied him because it takes skill to live off a woman.. ooohhh BURN! That was funny. My next favorite scene is when Tae Oh storms over to Sun Woo's house, barges in, drinks her wine, looks at her in her nightgown suggestively, and states " when are you going to stop harassing me".

Tae Oh reminds me a little of Donald Trump ( in a weird way). I mean he lies blatantly and without hesitation, he never apologizes, he doesn't think he did anything wrong and everything is someone else's fault. I mean this guy is seriously crazy but he is definitely the most interesting character on the show. He literally cracks me up almost every scene. In my opinion, the villain is suppose to be this super bad arch-nemesis that is difficult to defeat. Tae Oh is vain, narcissistic, selfish, weak man. I dont think he is a evil man but an very weak one who needs validation.
In the last two episodes Tae Oh was blackmailed by a petty criminal, checked by Dr. Kim, checked by DK, hit by Sun Woo, beat up by JH.. lol. He is not a very good villain in my opinion.
I had said in prior comments that Tae Oh was in love with SW and missed his real family. I think Tae Oh's anger steams from the lack of validation he received from SW. Tae Oh is the type of man that needs validation and assurances and I think DK gives him that but SW didnt. I also think that he has resentment because she was the breadwinner and everyone saw him as the loser living off of her. TO always loved SW but they have 15 years of issues too. Park Ryu accurately summed everything up about TO, he wants to break SW but he wants to save her.. #twistedlove

Comment two, episode breakdown..

If I could click my heels, I would. Dr. Kim and SW confirmed what I have longed thought that TO and SW have feelings for each other and their marriage isn't as over as it appears.

Highlights of the night include:
1. The sexy scene with TO and SW and him tearing at her nightgown, kinda hot and she did not resist
2. JH burn comment to Tae Oh about living off of a woman
3. My girl Ye Rim dishing out that truth serum to Sun Woo
4. The disbelief I felt when Myung-Sook said she was SW only ally in Gosan.. OMG, it must be hard walking around with two -faces.
5. The AUDACITY/NERVE of the Chairman to not only get SW fired as associate director but to tell her to name her price to leave.. I was on FIRE when I saw that.

I have been saying that SW is equally obsessed with TO because she is playing his games instead of walking away. I keep to my original predicition that they will kill each other ( similar to her parents) or they will get back together ( the wedding video reminiscence and Madame Choi's words about young people getting divorced so easily) hints at that possibility as well.
I feel bad for JY because that kid is literally unraveling and neither SW or TO seems to notice because they are too busy fighting each other. I also feel bad for JH, Yes, yes, he was utterly wrong but I felt like he was seriously about to turn over a new leaf and then this happened. I knew TO was going to get back at him for sleeping with SW.
Dr. Kim, Dr. kim.... I honestly think that he has lost SW trust. There is no going back now. Plus, he weirds me out a little because of his interest in JY. Plus, why did he tell SW he was trying to protect her and then tell the chairman he had no interest in her. I do believe that he isn't interested in her job but I feel like he got off on the wrong foot, SW already has enough crazy men in her life lying, she doesnt need extras doing it.
Did I mention I love this show.. lol.. and I am going to say it, I am cheering for SW and TO to get their family back together..dont slay me but I feel like the only way to end this war is a marriage treaty.. lol..#twistedlove

I think the girlfriend killed Park In Ryu and then took off..

Wow, @missvictrix! Your recap was very fast in coming! When Joon-young ditched his academy lessons and went to play, I can understand his confusion on why his mom had to call the police. For parents, the dilemma of telling the child the truth or not is really hitting home. I believe Sun-woo should explain to Joon-young the dangers of going anywhere without telling anybody. Those are the basic things we tell our children: don't talk to strangers, don't accept anything from strangers, etc.

Alternate title for this show is “Everybody Lies”

The abuser guy dies. Who killed him, and why?

My list of suspects

1. Da Kyung - wants to protect her husband.
2. The Chairman - wants to protect his daughter.
3. Yong Gi - motive to be revealed.
4. The Chairman's wife - wants to protect her daughter.

Unlikeliest Suspects

1. Tae Oh - Just because he's the likeliest culprit.
2. Sun Woo - will probably murder someone soon, just not so early.
3. The Girlfriend - A likely culprit, so that assumption alone rules her out.

Definitely Not

Honourable Mentions

1. The wicked backstabbing friend - she would most likely be murdered, long before she gets to murder someone else.

2. The boy - Joon Young is chilling. I fear he may do something terrible soon. And it will make his parents sit up, and take a good, hard look at themselves.

Other Possibilities

1. The guy could have been so crushed by the fact that his girlfriend is fleeing from him he kills himself by flinging himself off somewhere - maybe a roof.

2. He tries to kill his girlfriend, but ends up killing himself.

3. He tries to kill both himself and his girlfriend, but she manages to escape. He dies.

4. She tries to kill herself, but he saves her and dies, instead.

5. She pushes him to his death deliberately.

The investigation into his death dredges up his connections with Tae Oh and Sun Woo.

There is one thing that is glaringly evident in this drama, and it's that when a couple cares more about their child than each other, their relationship is doomed to fail. I've seen this in real life--one should never make their kids the center of their life. It's not good for the kid and it's not good for society.

I am so bothered by the son's attitude. I would like to pity him what with divorce and puberty hitting him at the same time. But I couldn't help but feel some loathing over his inability to see how his mother is trying her best to compensate for everything. I hope he just decides to live with his father for him to see the difference.

Thanks for the weecap.
