i think it's from 49 days... not sure though

Such dreams (i.e of being the important one) are all too inaccessible for most women for a variety of reasons. Her goal of being 'First Lady' might have struck the original manhwa writer as slightly more realistic given the character's background.

Plus, we still don't know if they actually mean the President's wife.

Being the one in the spotlight and being the grey eminence are two different things. First one doesn't suit every one, some people don't want to be seen wielding power openly. Also, being a president's wife puts you in a very different position than being the president for example what comes to the public opinion. President might be disliked if he has to do tough decisions but his wife can still be viewed favorably. Maybe Su Ae's character craves more for the recognition and fame than actual political power.

Also, for a person who seeks power just for the sake of it, aiming for a position of president's wife is MUCH more realistic and easier, as you say. For a woman it would be very difficult to become president in South Korea. Yes, I know that it just happened, but 1) they didn't know this when Yawang was planned and 2) even after this it will be more difficult for a woman to achieve highest power than it is for a man. One female president is a step to the right direction but it doesn't mean that chances for women and men are equal.

Also, I forgot to mention the importance of the background. Su Ae's character has grown in orphanage so she has NO political connections in the beginning. On the contrary, new president of Korea is a daughter of ex-president. This is pretty common in societies where gender equality is not very strong yet, daughters/wives of politicians may be able to get important positions (Benazir Bhutto, Sonia Gandhi, Indira Gandhi et.). Even for a man without connections it would be immensely difficult to get an important political position, but for a woman it's virtually impossible.

So if you're an orphan without money, connections or highest education, you're best and probably only chance is to become a wife of someone important.

I think that really outrageous melodrama's are fun. If you care too much about the characters it can drag you down. But...if you have some distance you can just enjoy the spectacle. I loved Equator Man and Nice Guy, despite all their problems, they were so much fun and I didn't internalize the angst. Missing You is like that too. The characters cry and look very pretty, but when the episode is over you can just walk away.

This, by the way, is not my attitude towards human relationships...just melo relationships.

I can understand if KSW turn you off same like JGS and MCW also turn me off :). I love KOD and will give this drama a try because of KSW and SA

KSW seems a little too self aware of his looks (or is at least marketed that way). Somehow it is more appealing, if a guy projects an image of modesty. Image being the operative word here.

It is.

Unfortch, yes.

this idea is like the real life story of a Philippine female president Cory Aquino.

WHAT NOT GOOD LOOKING?? seriously!!!
i just love these for their looks the most.....
may be you are a 13 year old kid. i guess

WTF. Kwon Sang Woo is such a good looking guy! Also, too many Kdramas feature too many idols these days anyway. Most of them should stick to singing then acting. If anything, I'll take a good actor over a good looking idol any day!

is that
" i cant take her face" seriously !!! or
"i cant take her face seriously" ???
hope you get what i mean....

Bad Love was pretty comedic to me because it was THAT bad of a Kdrama! ;) With that said, no, he has NOT acted in a romantic romcom drama but he has in a few Kmovies.

Still awaiting for him & Son Ye Jin to finally make a romantic Kdrama or Kmovie together!
