As I was watching the drama I wondered if we were to evaluate Judge Cha how many of the psychopath checklist items she would fulfill. So I tried to find out for myself:

GLIB AND SUPERFICIAL CHARM: She has that in spades, on the surface she’s so kind and smart and seems dedicated to helping others, but they don’t notice how that’s merely her veneer.

GRANDIOSE (EXAGGERATEDLY HIGH) ESTIMATION OF SELF: She also has this, the way she treats her subordinates and has them grovel at her feat as if she were the Empress, and the statue she erected in her father’s name supposedly to celebrate his life work, but really to get herself more known and her promise to her father’s statue that she would be even greater than he ever was.

NEED FOR STIMULATION: Not sure but we can infer that she doesn’t like to be bored which is why she looks for ways to keep on top of things in Gi Seong and quite enjoys the challenge of staying on top.

PATHOLOGICAL LYING: The way she lied to Jae Yi all her life about her mother and pretended to be a surrogate mother to her. Also exhibited when she told Jae Yi that Sang Pil probably has a vendetta against her because of some case he lost or something as if she didn’t very clearly remember that he ordered his mom and himself killed 18 years ago.

CUNNING AND MANIPULATIVENESS: Goes hand in hand with how she’s handled Jae Yi and the city of Gi Seung appearing to be a “Mother Teresa” and hiding her real self behind that facade.

LACK OF REMORSE OR GUILT: So far hasn’t shown any sign of that even daring to mention Sang Pil’s mother to his face and remind him that those that oppose her are soon eliminated.

SHALLOW AFFECT (SUPERFICIAL EMOTIONAL RESPONSIVENESS): She only shed tears at her father’s funeral for appearances in front of the rest of the mourners

CALLOUSNESS AND LACK OF EMPATHY: this is high up there among her traits and part and parcel of her ability to victimize Jae Yi’s mother and turn around and pretend to be interested in Jae Yi.

PARASITIC LIFESTYLE: Hmm. this one, I consider that she’s a huge parasite on the whole of Gi Seong.

POOR BEHAVIORAL CONTROLS: She let’s her anger control her and even hits those she deems beneath her.

SEXUAL PROMISCUITY : this one isn’t mentioned in the drama and I doubt it would be brought up and as she’s enjoying the image of the “Mother Teresa” of Gi Seong it probably isn’t part of her charactrer

EARLY BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS: We don’t know yet

LACK OF REALISTIC LONG-TERM GOALS: Her goals aren’t realistic, but they are grandiose, leaving Gi Seong while still controlling it and being the Supreme Court Judge.

IMPULSIVITY: She killed a man because she overheard his comments and did it impulsively with no real plan and then had someone else come and clean up her mess.

IRRESPONSIBILITY: She blames everything that goes wrong on her henchmen never accepting her own hand at causing such things, and she blames the innocent people she trods on for their inability to stay down and follow her.

FAILURE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR OWN ACTIONS: She kills and has someone else take the blame, how much less able to accept responsibility can she get.

MANY SHORT-TERM MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS: We don’t know

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY: We don’t know but I’m guessing she must have been the model student who secretly killed animals.

REVOCATION OF CONDITIONAL RELEASE: she hasn’t ever been caught as of yet.

CRIMINAL VERSATILITY: She’s done it all – murders, theft, blackmail, fraud anything and everything she’s done it, so I’d say she does have it.

Ep. 6 of Lawless Lawyer made me fall in love with it more and more and one of the reasons is that Jae Yi, the smart girl did not just accept information she went out and investigated and got to her own conclusions and then heard what Sang Pil had to say about her mentor, about how that related to his mother’s murder and her mother’s disappearance, digested it, cried about it and pulled herself together, and never once blamed him for anything, like we’ve seen happened in countless other dramas where somehow the victim receives part of the blame because of his presence in the incident. I love that it brought them closer together and that they were even more united and not broken because of the truth. Yay for brave heroines and kind heroes.

Seventeen’s rendition of SuJu’s “U” is life. It was Kyuhyun’s debut song and the first song with Suju as a 13 member group. I hope SVT keeps being 13 forever and Suju is 13+2 forever in my heart.

The thing I most appreciate about Jae Yi is that she’s no wilting lily and yes she might be a little frightened but she won’t stand for being coddled. Jae Yi, fighting!

I’m such a sucker for a good scooby gang and this drama is giving me the cute moments with them as well in this action packed episode.

I have to admit that I\’m a noona fan of: Yoo Seung Ho, Park Hyung Sik, Yeo Jingu, and even Jung Hae In is younger even if by half a year. Why are they so handsome?

so I used to be called a grave robber when I was teen/early 20 year old because I loved actors who were way older than me i.e Robert Redford and now with kdramas do I have to be called cradle robber?

I’ve actually been a little busy so I haven’t been very active online but I did stay up for the SuJu Lo Siento MV collab with Leslie Grace on the 12th, and it’s even more evident that they’re Kings!

I watched ep 8 of Super TV and it was really tough to watch Leadernim sound so unsure of himself. I agree with Heenim that it was really lucky that the older one was Teukie and not him. XD

So I’ve become a Chaebol’s poor doppelganger. Only the I Am King movie came to mind & Ruler of the mask (though I never finished the drama). What are some good dramas with this trope?

Prince was really touched by his wife’s defense of him and her trust in is worth since everybody else around him treat him like a no good playboy. and that’s one reason why he’s falling for her. <3
