I think the thing with PMR’s makjang that is so addicting is that instead of hitting the character with truck of doom, they hit the audience with truck of facts and backstory we need to keep up with
I mean (SPOILER ALERT) we knew the real mommy thing was coming but instead of exhausting us with a build-up which literally everyone knows but the characters like how makjang usually is, the character pointed out the obvious and actually asked the right question. I knew chef mommy plot was coming but boooy would I never thought Yijoo straight up asks her. And with the new information that chef mommy KNOWS, that splits-second plays with us as to why she didn’t find her and creates new curiosity then it goes on and on and on. Can’t believe something THAT obvious kept me at the edge of my seat
YES that’s the perfect description!!! White truck of facts!!! I love the pacing of the reveals – it’s so, so satisfying. Other dramas could learn from PMR!!
I don’t think I have ever watched anything with this kind of “reveal-a-week” format. Definitely a trend I could get behind. Waiting for Do-guk’s time traveling reveal now and maybe the evil step mom too … 🤣

Hahaha the “speed” is sure addictive. PMR has certainly ruined the game for pacing in K-dramas.
