Impossible Heir – Sigh.. even deer in headlights have more expressions than Heywon… I don’t think I can watch this hospital scene.

    specially the deer in its ok to not be ok

    agency must have paid huge bucks to get her this drama

    I think it is irresponsible of her agent to let her do a lead role so soon because all this show is doing is exposing her lack of talent as the show progresses. She is not a lead actress and needs time to learn her craft, let her do this in lesser supportive roles where the focus is not on her. It is detrimental to her career to expose her like this. It seems like common sense, she’s transitioning from a model to an actress. The script is all over the place and the only thing saving this is a handful of talented actors.

Wedding Impossible Ep 6
What a fantastic episode!! Ji-Han is my fav flawed character… This episode hit all the emotional notes.. wonderful.. I have a concern about where he is going for the \’right path\’. I really hope he doesn’t lean towards another wedding impossible. The chaotic mess is looming in the distance.
Family dinner was a riot! I loved that her BIL was equally savage. This weeks episode needs a rewatch! How to wait another week…

    I love the trope when one of them is avoiding the other and the other is missing him/her and won’t admit it.

      I don’t think she knows her feelings yet. For now, she knows he can hurt her. Which clearly means she was hurt when he ignored her…
      we are half way through… I can’t wait for her to realize it too..

Queen of Tears Ep 2:
An hour and a half??? That felt like forever. Did we really need an extended taunting scene by a fellow businesswoman? it suddenly felt like they were in high school.
Still on the fence. Is this dark comedy or a romcom, I can’t tell.
Good thing about the drama is that there are no likeable characters.
Park Sung Hoon looks really good suited up (after two dramas of him playing cop!).
I am all for character redemptions. But not sure if I can ever forgive someone who is waiting for me to die 😇.

    Hehe … good to know I’m not the only one who looked at the timestamp and baulked. It is a mess. I do hope its not a good-actor-met-bad-drama.

Queen of Tears:
On the fence! It had its moments. KSH was great. But that ending make me feel icky. I don’t know how it will unravel. Either a deception on her end or his end. Anyway, it’s not something to pass off as humor. I wish his reaction was more sincere because that would make me hope tor this couple to reconcile. Next episode will tell me how I feel about it.

    The emotions felt off … too much for him and too less for her. Let’s see if it can be balanced.

      I really really hope she isn’t lying about dying and he isn’t faking to love her while waiting for her to die. No way I can root for a couple if they go this route.

        I hope as well.
        Though even if there is some deception, it depends what the story will be about and how the protagonists will evolve. I’m waiting.

Got Hulu sub for 2 dramas. Impossible Heir kinda tanked (but still plan to continue). Wonderful World was a no-show. Shogun was a good surprise!!
Now, I guess I can try Flex Cop? Hope its fun.. Any chaebol free dramas these days?

    Flex Cop could be a nice palate cleanser after Impossible Heir. First two eps are a bit extra but show is great once it finds its pace. Funny to say of a chaebol cop procedural, but it has a good heart.

    Hulu was worth every penny last year for:
    Call it Love
    Moving
    Tell Me that you Love Me

    A shop for killers wasn’t bad either
    And let’s not forget Revenant

    Sometimes shows drop after they are completed-so there’s still hope for wonderful world

Impossible Heir 3/4: What is this drama even?? 😭😭😭😭
Finding nice things to say in the recap- LJW, LJW\’s suits, LJW side profile, LJW putting on her shoe, Jun and sister smiling at dinner table.
I wish chairman would go back to his atrocious loud shirts, at least they were entertaining.
Thrilled to see Matchmakers Orabeonim here!! Took me a while to recognize him..
Of course, sister grew up to be the obsessive types.. sigh.. girl, he needs to like you first, marriage comes next.

    I disagree Blue. The chairman still had a few power shirts. And while some items were subdued, they had style. For example, he wore a plain black suit but it was jacquard! Ooh, la, la. And I can’t remember last time I saw anyone in a satin striped hospital gown. Since he spent a whole damn episode in that, we didn’t get it sample the rest of his wardrobe.

    Also..:and…also… That’s all I’ve got. 😂

    3

      😂😂😂
      Ok. It’s the hospital plot that denied us more chairman fashion. I get it. I did not notice the hospital gown.
      After his Ep 1 shirt, everything pales in comparison. The bar was set very high.

      As always, I appreciate your insights about these two episodes.

      I really liked this scene. It played like a turning point in how she sees him – definitely more empathy there now!

      7
      2

        Yeah. And I liked the ending of Ep 4 for this reason. He is so passive and takes a lot of shit from his family, but he is totally speaking out with her. It’s such a contrast and she sees it. It’s not like he can’t stand up for himself but he won’t. And it really bothers her.
        And I too want to know why he thinks taking over the company is the solution to all this? What is his motivation really??

        8
        3

          I really like your analysis, and I agree! I’m also curious – past its use as a plot point – why he doesn’t want the company for himself, when he’s obviously the most capable and has the best work ethic out of ALL the potential heirs? If it’s just a seniority thing (deferring to hyung), (A) hyung doesn’t want it, and (B) that hasn’t stopped other K-drama MLs 😂

          6
          4

            I wonder if it’s tied to his ‘I killed my parents’ trauma/guilt – like he somehow feels responsible for also robbing his brother of a good childhood, so this is his way of like making up for it. And he doesn’t want it for himself because he doesn’t think he deserves it & also he’s deferring to the whole ‘elder sibling’ thing. Plus I guess it’s a way of safeguarding their future maybe? If Evil Half-Siblings are in charge, they might make life even more miserable for the two of them/cast them out etc. Maybe this is the modern day equivalent of a Joseon era consort trying to safeguard her kids’ future by battling it out for throne!

            I also would assume given his mildly calculating brain that since his grandfather has been so cold to him and apparently more lenient to his older brother that it would be easier to get his brother to “own” the company and then he’d just assume he’d make it to VP or something and get to actually run in. Like he thinks his brother is his best shot at success.

          I think they all know Grandpa will never name Jihan (the show has established that Grandpa “hates” him, probably has something to do with his mother’s dead). And Jihan knows if his half-siblings are in charge, as soon as Grandpa is gone, they would make his and Dohan’s lives hell, even cut them off from the family (I imagine by then it would be difficult for Dohan himself to maintain his current art student lifestyle in freaking NY without family money). The only way to protect themselves is for one of them to take over, and since Grandpa won’t give it to Jihan, the only option is Dohan.

          4
          3

            i actually thought that grandpa is protecting him; dad seems to hate him as well more than his hyung…

            he was being chased because in flashback mom was telling him/reassuring him that they will be alright….mom and him in the car when accident happen..

            fairly clear that dad got mom killed; grandpa knows it and is protecting the two kids by keeping them away and now bringing them back so that other family doesn’t evict them…

            also think, our ML might have actually the evidence or memories of that murderer

            there has to be a reason why grandpa easily accepted the law narrative on his daughter’s murder

            3
            0

            @alasecond I definitely think their grandpa has a soft spot for Jihan and just doesn’t show it (potentially a misguided attempt at keeping him safe?)

            I also think the grandpa actually knows Dohan is homosexual and is trying to keep that from coming to light – he thinks that by forcing him to get married it will “fix” everything. Sad, but I think he may still think that’s “protecting” his grandson from the public looks like. I also think that’s why he accepted Ah Jeong so quickly – he’s either clued in that she might also know or thinks that Do-han actually likes her and doesn’t want to give up this chance at actually getting him married. Not sure where inheriting the company comes in, but I’m sure time will tell.

          Personally I think he’s living vicariously through his older brother. Whether he’s secretly scared to do it for himself or doesn’t think he deserves it or just thinks that’s the best calculated shot he has at getting what he wants since his grandfather is usually cold towards him.. but he’s pushing his own career goals, old relationship goals etc. on his brother. It just makes me feel like he’s trying to vicariously get the satisfaction of “having” that happen without actually having it himself.

          2
          2

        Yes! I feel like she’s never actually hated him since she asked him to drink with her, although she definitely didn’t “like” him per se either. But after this scene and then especially when he talked about how she is his favorite actress and watched all her shows, I think she saw more than just his “I need to make you act a certain way” means to an end business exterior.

          I’m on board with the Grandfather “knows” the secret and this being his misguided attempt to protect his grandson.

          1
          2

            It just makes sense in the context of him telling the grandson to “wrap things up in NY”. It also makes sense with the ending of ep 4, if the person who showed up is who I think

Wedding Impossible Ep 4

This show is so much F.U.N!!! I am totally digging the dynamic between these two and this episode’s faux-seducing-date was all kinda perfect. It is so much fun to watch all this since both parties ’know’. There is no trickery involved. They both know what the scenario is. So, I totally love their banter, their moments etc. His face when she told him that they should stay over and enjoy the suite.. lol.. He is falling hard and fast…
How is she going to resist him – A man who saw ALL her dramas just to get to know her!!
I think she is seeing him already, as a person. She is getting more context to who he is, what life he is living etc. The attraction is clearly there!!
p.s. Why did Na Yeong not go to the registrar office? Was it because Ji An called her an made n appointment? That seems uncharacteristic of her.

That CAMEO!! I was screaming!! He was so perfect in that short duration.

Bring on the ‘love cobweb’ show! I am ready!!
ML’s first love is 2FL
ML is falling for FL
FL and 2ML are going to get married.
ML wants 2FL to marry 2ML.
2ML had his own love outside all this.

    These episodes were so fun!!! And is it just me, or did the writing and directing suddenly get better, too?? All of a sudden, the drama feels more complex with motivations and characters, and I love it!! I also love that, like you said, everything is above board – they both know what’s going on, and the ML explained what he was going to do. +1 for honesty!! And that cameo was AWESOME 😂

      I liked it a lot from ep 2. I love all the FL’s dialogues. And the leads are so honest with each other and are flirting so openly, yet are okay to have normal conversations. And they already got each other’s back more than once!! It’s amazing how much they have gotten close in a short period of time. I really hope Do Han sees this soon! let the rumors spread!

        I know!! Their development in these episodes has been great. The ML has already apologized and corrected two of his mistakes toward the FL – neither of which were meant maliciously – which I find really intriguing. Their honesty is great. And the FL’s dialogue delivery continues to be SO GOOD. More flirting please, Show!! 😂

      I think the complexity has been there since the beginning, but not so visible. The more we know about the characters, the more we see it. I love it.

      The show improved notably this week. We even heard some OSTs! (Episodes 1 and 2 seemed a bit weird without songs).

      Now I only need the cinematography to get better.
      The script is being smart and fun so far.

      3
      1

    Not to mention, SFL mistakenly thinking ML is maybe into her because of the things he does when he’s actually doing them with the FL in mind (like when he went in on that jerk from the drama production team) OR he’s doing them with the 2ML in mind (the picnic by the river when he was like isn’t this fun!!!….if you enjoyed this, you’d love my brother – he’s just like me 😆)

    5
    1

      OH and adding to the mess – the evil half siblings not yet aware of the fact that the ML’s mystery woman is also the SML’s (contract) fiancee! I can’t wait for everyone to be across all the mess – I’m hoping it’ll be like that scene in Crazy, Stupid Love when they all find out how they’re connected with one another & the misunderstandings all come to light all at once hahahaha

    Blue, I’d actually push through if I were you. You’re gonna probably love HATE where it goes. It’s more OTT than even OTT aegyo gets. I’ve started to think that the brief was, “Let’s turn all of K-drama (both tropes and plot twists) up to 11 and see who stays along for the ride.”

        It’s a hard episode to watch, emotionally. The acting was stellar, but everything was so raw and sad, I sort of regret watching it. Had I known, I would probably not have clicked “play”. (FYI, there was no Cha Eunwoo yet).
        It was hard to believe a grandmother would come to terms with something like “that” that quickly though. I’ll stop here or else I’d spoil it for you.
