I want to string Yoo Mi Ho up by her toenails.

*Ahem.*
By the power vested in me by the State of Melonia, by dint of being its Queen, etc, etc, I hearby sentence her, the one known as Yoo Mi Ho, to death by Endosolistration.

There, now I feel better.

I didn’t think I could dislike a character more than I do Mi-ho, and then Ji-ho’s ex comes along and says “watch this!” Malice, jealousy, deceitfulness, and total disregard for her client’s confidentiality and well-being - what the heck, why has she not already been struck off and ostracized by everyone she knows? (Answer: drama.) She and Mi-ho are really going head-to-head in hatefulness. Hae-jin’s mom makes a brief run at the title of Most Awful Female, too, but she’s an amateur. Mi-ho really rises to the challenge, though. Every single woman - Sang-eun not excepted - is a lousy human being and it makes me wonder (1) if the writer hates women and (2) why I’m still watching. At this point every character seems to deserve what they’re getting. I cheered for ToD’s appearance at the end of ep. 12 - wearing a van costume, but we’d know him anywhere regardless of disguise. Truck-sshi, please engage your targeting system. I have a list for you.

I had planned to read the recap before I decided to watch episodes 11-12, but instead I read the 2 comments. Dropping!!!

These last two episodes I found myself wishing they'd pivot the show to a triangle with two men and a cat.

The chaebol meal meetings are one place I'd welcome some product placement, watch them order in pizza or subs.

"But I will riot if Ji-ho runs to save her and gets hit instead."

How fast can Amazon deliver riot gear?

I had decided to stop watching this show for now but read this re-cap just in case the show decided to get better. Sadly, it has not. It seems to have gotten worse. So while I do dearly love Ji-Ho, it's not nearly enough to bring me back to watching. There are plenty of other dramas out there to watch that I don't need to spend my time with these characters.

I was waiting for the recap just to comment about yoo madam, she’s a terrible character overall, she’s not even a good written “villain”, there’s literally no reason for her to be doing the things she does, the adoptive parents don’t even want anything to do with SangEun but she’s pushing it so much it has become a chore to watch the drama. The writers are probably going to give her a situation to redeem herself but unless she saves South Korea from an alien invasion (and even that wouldn’t be enough) I just can’t help but skip everytime she’s on screen! I still don’t understand why SangEun keeps her in her house…

As for Gwangnam……… I love his relationship with SangEun but boy, COME ON! How is it that you keep saying you hate the lady but every time you get the chance, you engage in conversation with her??? And spill information for no apparent reason??? At this point I feel that there’s no going forward with the drama, the plot has always been lazy and annoying to say the least but ep 12 takes the cake with that cliffhanger, I can’t remember the last time I saw a truck being used as a plot device…

And the ex that I can’t bother to remember the name of, she’s competing against MiHo for the worst female character in the show, she literally broke off her relationship with JiHo to come back and act outrageously entitled and delusional; JiHo can stub his toe and she’ll say it’s because of her, holy cow! She’s also a skip for me.

I don’t see how they can save this drama from, honestly, the only thing keeping me here is JiHo and his coworkers, they are the only thing worth watching.

Ji Ho is such an utterly fabulous character and Go Kyung Po is playing him deliciously. He is the best part of this drama. I can't wait until it is just Ji Ho and Sang Eun.

@unit thank you for the weecap. You brought out the key points that were bugging me this week.

👉’For a while now, Sang-eun has been such an inattentive friend to Gwang-nam. He knows everything (or at least most of the things) going on in her life — because he takes his time to ask, and listens to her!’

I am constantly querying are they actually friends or is she just basking in the sweetness that is Gwangnam. She worked 6 days a week and would spend Sundays at her retreat or hiking so when did they see each other? She never apologises for not being a decent friend these days due to the busyness of the drama around her. She did not discuss moving Miho in and despite knowing he spends more time in the house so is effected by her more she still has not moved her out. So all of this indicates to me that she is not acting out of character and is actually benefiting from being in a one sided friendship. Haejin said Gwangnam is a good judge of people so I hope he sees something we don’t and is getting something from the relationship that means he is prepared to be used in this way. When he finally gets his long term relationship he will see that he does not have to settle for this kind of treatment from someone who supposedly cares about him.

Jamie the cat is never mentioned even the daily video calls don’t seem to be happening any more. Sangeun is in and out the apartment with no ‘allergic’ reactions these days. I know they need to limit the on camera time of animals and children but they could refer to her at least. I don’t do pets but it’s like a significant character has exited stage left and no one is mentioning it.

The ex wife 😡 Why is she suddenly asking for reconciliation is it actually Jiho or her dream apartment that she wants, she is rich enough to get one herself surely. It seems to me that she hates the fact he came out of himself when he got with Sangeun. She is so full of herself that she thinks he spent the years after their divorce paying someone else to eat his meals because she always blanked his efforts. Watching how she treated him was just awful. I can’t believe he stuck it out as long as he did. Having had a horrific childhood surely he would want to be in control of his happiness as an adult.

Thank you, @unit, for the weecap! I, too, cannot understand why Jaime is so important to Yoo Miho, but then, Sang-eun discovered it: she was a failed project. Miho was like a mother to Sang-eun (maybe that's why she's still giving her so many chances) because she was her nanny growing up abroad. Sang-eun never met her adoptive parents formally. I hope Hae-jin finds somebody right for him (and acceptable to his family). He may be immature in others' eyes but I'm cutting him some slack for being raised in that kind of chaebol family.

Barely hanging on. Wish there were more likable characters.

Communication & romantic moments between Ji Ho and Sang Eun were still pretty nice. He's been consistent with his awkwardness, heh.

I feel like there's not enough material for 4 more episodes though, ugh. Like in most kdramas, things could have been wrapped up sooner. And all these chaebol angst/drama is not what I wanted when I saw the early previews of this show. >_>

Omg. I was writing this comment. Left my computer, scrolled other stuff on my phone for like 2 hours. Almost forgot to come back here.
I guess you can tell how eager I am to post this..

Wait, wait, wait. Is it amnesia I'm seeing in the comment section? It better not be. And why did they seize the previews this week😭. You don't do this to my fav couple and refuse to ease the tension.

Sometimes when TOD's happen, there's usually ample time for the intended victim to exit the danger zone. So I don't know why Mi-ho stood there as if in a brain freeze. The situation can cause a mental immobility to the legs so I quite understand. But not Ji-ho. Why add him to the mix.
The show better not 1.) hurt Ji-ho and bring in amnesia, 2.) Mi-ho better not kick against Ji-ho after he puts himself in harm's way for her.

Did anyone catch the split second definitely-not-a-part-of-the-script smile on Mi-ho's(Jin Young's) face when she jumped off the chair as Ina's chairman wanted to grab the flash😅. Jin Young is having fun with her character. As usual Mi-ho vs Gwang-nam scenes never lose it steam and it comes packed every minute. Talking of Gwang-nam, when will Sang-eun learn to treat him as he treats her. The way she dismisses him isn't how friends roll.

I like the level of trust and confidence Ji-ho and Sang-eun share. And I concur to the peace of mind that comes with it that they are experiencing.

That request Ji-eun has to make had better not be let's-date-again nonsense or anything along that line. You'll be disappointed again, woman. Amnesia or not, once amnesia wears off you'll be back where you were. Don't forget that.

Even if Ji-ho's work assistants wanted to eavesdrop on his conversation, I wasn't expecting the new addition, Mr. Park Sang-goo to join in, not after how vehemently he shows disinterest :) . The man has given me too caption this vibes this week.

Talking about Mi-ho and Sang-eun's attachment to each other, there's a conversation it seems that was discussed but cut out of the episodes, a conversation we'll see in subsequent episodes. The point where Ji-ho threatened the man managing Mi-ho. The man said Mi-ho never assaulted Sang-eun and that there's more to it about Mi-ho and Sang-eun after which the man began spilling the info but we do not get to watch that since the scene was cut right there. An explanation is in sight. I just hope they're not having familial ties to each other.

sangeun puts up with miho because she's her mother to her. Even if this relationship isn't acknowledge.

Miho too sees sangeun as her daughter.

Even if family is toxic u can't quite divorce your feelings for them can u.

Example Gwang nam. His family is shitty. Still he hasn't walked out on them

It's Ji Ho that's keeping me watching this show. He's my favourite ML in ages. @unit 'it's the quite ones that are the most passionate ' - ain't that the truth!
Gwang Nam deserves a medal. I loved the scene between him and Ji Ho. He really needs a better friend in Sang Eun and a nice guy to pair off with by the end of the show.
I'm thanking the drama gods that we haven't seen any sign of noble idiocy so far. SE did try to sacrifice herself, but both JH and HJ had the decency not to let her.
I'm interested to see if JH has dug up anything juicy re Ina group, but he had better clear everything with SE before he hands anything to a prosecutor.
And when JH and MH were on opposite sides of the street, I was shaking my head. Seriously, a ToD? Give me a break. They had better not be a scratch on JH next week! *shakes fist at sky*

Mi-ho. I have no good wishes for her.

ToD, you have one job. Don't mess it up.

please the way it wasn't even a truck of doom, it was a van of doom (they couldn't afford the truck)

and i was just screaming at JH to let her die ffs

Unit, you said: "I cannot overemphasize how much I love that our main couple wades through these murky waters on a united front rather than the usual noble idiocy that seems to plague other K-drama couples in similar situations. "

THIS. This is why I love this show and look forward to it every week. I think I posted a few weeks ago that I could put up with a last minute makjang moment provided they didn't break up or Sang Eun didn't fly off to Canada which usually happens around Ep. 11 or 12 (in a 16 ep series). The overall story is crazy but then Sang Eun keeps wondering if she is crazy. The villains aren't simply typical chaebol father - we have Mi-ho (possibly Dad's former mistress?), the ex-wife that I love-to-hate, and older brother probably sexually assaulted Sang Eun at the dinner - karma will be coming to all and I cannot wait.

So glad that the person that writes a review is enjoying the show as much as me! Thank you for great we-cap.
