9.0/10 - Bringing the fire!!!!

This drama is bringing it!!! Already I can see it's ready to stand on it's own! Han Yi Joo isn't gonna take what happened lightly. She's not blind and she's seeing all the wrongs! REVENGE!!! Yes, girl. I mean her mother literally pulled the plug, not to mention that we learn she was poisoned in her own home.

I was thinking from episode 1 that Seo Do Guk knows Yi Joo. Though now it's super clear as she approaches him for her plans. I just couldn't believe the chemistry the two have and how their stories are already progressing. OMG! That kiss and how he is clearly in to her. She thinks it's just about the money and partnership. He's in though. He is in. I want this reveal to happen now!

Man! This was such an amazing second episode! I'm in!! Normally I don't say that until episode 4. However, I have to see how it all goes down. Getting to meet all the player is interesting. Not only to see more and more how abusive Yi Joo's family is. The thing is when you're being abused it's hard to see. Especially if that's all you've known. It was so interesting seeing evil mother's POV. Like she couldn't understand someone who cared. To see her daughter afraid to eat food, and to find out later she was poisoned and that's probably why. I'm also wondering what they were medicating her with!!! Dang this drama is bringing it!

No time to pick up the pieces...

Yup, this is 12 eps. Things should be happening fast, but not this fast. The FL's transformation from an overly accepting to a strategically cunning heroine was premature and abrupt, making her acting too uneven and stoic sometimes. It was too evident and distracting that she was at a loss at which timeline she was acting. As always, and as veteran actors go, they seasoned this episode well, heightening the tension of the sudden turn of events, except for one who can’t seem to find her footing against the nuanced portrayals of her colleagues. Here’s me still, wanting to know if it’s only a prayer and a will for revenge that can make one go back in time, or if there’s more.

am glad didn't have to suffer another…

am glad didn't have to suffer another ep of Yi Joo getting stepped on. but - get she didn't think about the consequence's of the encounter (crashing Yoo Ra's date), no one could've assumed Do Guk's move would be to invite her to his hotel-room. but once she accepted the offer, one upping it by requesting to spend the night together. she should've known what would be awaiting her back home (considering she grew-up with devils). lets say she didn't think - the sec she was locked in her room, she should've(!) contacted Do Guk - asking for help. again cause she grew-up in that hellhole & knew how those demons would treat her.*****************************************************************************************************************************************seeing how Do Guk treated/ reacted to Yi Joo have a feeling their backstory (like a majority of K-drama's) they met when they were kids & she was good/kind to him - that stuck with him. so he got a soft spot for her, which in this ep after everything he finds out, will develop. but have to say that kiss min's after Yi Joo vomiting, makes that whole scene a bit yucky IMHO *****************************************************************************************************************************************the rest of the character's r just gross human-beings - they keep one upping each other at being vile. hard not to pray for their downfall & hope it will be hard & painful. ***********************************************************************************************the "mother's" hate for Yi Joo as a child (not just an adult), the way she has broken her - seems personal like Yi Joo the consequence of her husband affair or some such. yeah people don't need a reason to be evil, but it seems personal with Jung Hye. (time will tell)

SPOILER ALERT! [9,5/10]

This drama is progressing so quickly because, unlike some other dramas where the main character has to build up power to start their revenge, Yijoo HAS completed three of her objectives. In this episode, she gets engaged with the man Yoora loves, she shows Sehyeok no mercy, and she humiliates her mother in front of Doguk. It was so satisfying to see that someone finally sees how the Han family has been treating her! Like, fuck her evil mother, useless father, and narcissistic sister! Fuck everyone who works for the family, actually. We get to learn when Yijoo was young, she was poisoned by a maid. Come on, we're not a fool, and even Yijoo admitted there's something fishy about it. It's probably her wicked mother who tried to kill her. Because of the poisoning, Yijoo developed a deep trauma and can only eat instant, ready-to-make food. I felt so sad when she couldn't stomach the food Doguk bought her and had to vomit to make herself feel better. She deserves so much better, and I want Doguk's family to accept her. So far, I think the only person in Doguk's family who will not treat Yijoo kindly is his mother. Doguk's grandma is a badass! I want her to stand by Yijoo's side and help her to become stronger. Please, please, please, make the grandma a good person. Doguk's father, on the other hand, looks like he doesn't have a spine. But unlike Sehyeok, he's not pathetic. I think Doguk's father is just a kind man with no ambition, so I expect him to be kind to Yijoo. Doguk also has a little sister who is super chaotic, and her husband works as Doguk's secretary. I need her to protect Yijoo and be the little sister that Yoora has never been. Come on Yijoo, live the life you deserve! The drama is progressing so fast that Yijoo and Doguk shared their first kiss already. It was a small kiss followed by a make out too, lol. It was a nice scene to wrap up the episode, but I don't really care about kissing scenes.
