would you guys recommend it? the entire premise looks like something i would love, i adore stories about seemingly heartless ladies that are older than 40 lol but i don't know if it's worth starting

[bulimia.livejournal.com]

yes

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

thanks!

I just started myself but it's really good and the acting is superb

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

it looks really good and it seemed like the leading actors might be good, but i didn't want to be disappointed :P

[kristinl356.livejournal.com]

so incredibly worth it

[spread.livejournal.com]

It's incredible.
It is so mature and adult-type shit.
Refreshing as fuck, from all the teeny-bopper dramas usually being thrown at us.

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

that's exactly what i wanted to hear, thanks! heterosexual teenage/young adult romance bores me to tears, while mature het romance (or relationship) can be kinda great when done well

the show is great! especially considering this is the writer's first official work, however i do find the pacing too slow at times (and i'm usually a big fan of slowburn) so i've been finding it a bit of a drag to catch up. hye ran and eun joo make such entertaining opponents.

[lechuza-yoya.livejournal.com]

what the director is doing? its a plan? I see the husband thing coming but not the director.

[kristinl356.livejournal.com]

he and hye ran have got to be working together. i'll be disappointed (and i'm sure he'll come out looking hella stupid) if they're not.

i'm glad somebody made a discussion post for this show, it's so good and deserves way more hype than it's been getting (which is i guess what happens when your main actors are well out of their 20s =/ ). i love this show so much that the couple times i've been unable to watch the eps right after subs have come out, i've been thrilled that that meant i got to watch two in a row. a badass, older, professional female lead is everything i have been praying for. please, please korea, more shows like this.

I haven't watched a K-drama since 2008, but for whatever reason I randomly decided to give this one a try earlier this month.
When I tell you I am SHOOK to my core with this show.
I had no idea Korea was able to produce this kind of quality with their dramas.

And for it to be a female driven drama at that, with super acting, writing, characters and development.
The most important thing this show does right for me, is that it is not cliche nor does it fall into the typical K-drama tropes.

Because of this show and the hope it's given me for K-dramas, I'm not trying other dramas out...
So far I like Cross (the medical drama about revenge, which is really good so far) and Return (a 30-minute episodic, "who done it", mystery thriller show...that is a hot mess, with rich people doing fucked up shit and getting their just desserts).

Basically, K-dramas have surprised me as of lately.

[kristinl356.livejournal.com]

You should try Prison Playbook/Wise Prison Life. If Misty is shaping up to be my favorite show of 2018, Prison Playbook was my favorite of 2017.

I would recommend you Secret Forest. IMO, more mindblowing but as mysterious as Misty. At least with Misty, I was right about the real killer since 1st episode (lol) but Secret Forest was kind of unexpected.

[spread.livejournal.com]

I love this show.
I don't even watch K-dramas like that anymore, but this honestly one of the best drama's I've ever watched...
I love the characters, writing and acting.
A fucking masterclass.

Kinda late for this but first and foremost THANK YOU OP for making this discussion post <3333

And now that we have a discussion post I don't even know where to start lol because this drama is THE best roller coaster I've ever taken in Dramaland and MAN, it's SO worth it.

I cry, I scream, I'm in awe and shock and I can't get enough of Queen of Badasserie aka Go Hye Ran. She is fearless and fierce (which is the best combo for me) and Kim Nam Joo is just an amazing actress. And Tae Wook is the perfect blend for me lol, a cute and adorable puppy yet a protective and loving man UGH, I don't know why but I find him so endearing sometimes.

After watching Ep 12, I'm really wondering tho' what's the Director's move in all this, is he with GHR or does he have another motive so he can keep his seat?

Also I may be the only one who thought that but for a sec I thought that the detective would be Myung woo's father or brother therefore he would need to prove that GHR killed Kevin Lee since he holds a grudge against her.

I can't wait to see how the trial will go and the big reveal on who killed Kevin Lee but I don't want this great show to end already :'(
