this whole cuddling scene was the most natural and comfortable than any of the recent drama that i had watched. kdrama mostly focused on making the scene look pretty by choosing specific angle of the actors to shot. this angle was closer to naturalistic compared to beautiful.

her hair was was not neat as what we usually see in kdrama. they didn't fix her collar as well. and that were the exact reasons why the scene feels natural to me and proved their chemistry is off the chart as always.

and baek sa eon didn't leave any space between them during the cuddle and kept moving his head closer to her each time as if it was not close enough for him. both of their body languange was very natural and there is no slight hint of tense or awkwardness whenever each of them try to move closer during their skinship scene.

both of them are just really damn good actors and we are super blessed to have this drama pairing.

I know it's ridiculous, but I imagined it sometimes. Us being completely ordinary just like everyone else.

thisssss is what I'm talking about!!! the FL reciprocating the same love and protection she had received from the ML. it isn't that hard. romance is back everyone

AAAA this bit from the preview!!!! It's my fave trope, FL protecting ML in turn!!!!

they are not baek sa eon and hong hee joo..

it's yoo yeon seok walking his dog rita with chae soo bin.. the choice of his outfit is not something we can get from baek sa eon's wardrobe. it's something we can only see from yoo yeon seok. his laidback gait, the ease of his steps and the lack of tense on his shoulder.

it could also mean that they can only start to date like a normal couple when he is no longer the baek sa eon that everyone knew. it was just hee joo's fantasy because baek sa eon can't do that until he is free from that family’s grasp. sad, i know....

[dllamarama]

sooooo question!

if their DNA didn't match, the drama is not going for baek sa eon is the son of the grandfather?

which i would rather have than him being related to their disgusting psycho family.

the backstory of him used to have someone who protected and takes care of him was very befitting to the character. his younger counterpart looks very sensitive and kind. so the back story did matched his younger counterpart vibe.

do i want to talk about the kiss?

dO i waNt to tALk aboUt tHE fKinG KISSSSS

that was definitely not a pretty kiss to be gushing about. that was a whole hungry kiss after a fking 3 years of marriage and they both ATE it!!!!! who cares about it being pretty when they can give us THAT! on the screen. damnnn good directing skill HAHAHAHAHAHAH. i was skeptical that the director will go for a sweet pretty kiss when baek saeon is a hungry man running on a trauma. but the director did not dissapoint and give us the kiss scene that is perfect for our unhinged couple of the year.

ok I'm done but I'm not done. imma rewatch the whole episode because i can MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[dllamarama]

let me just start with....

the first word he ever heard from her with her real voice was "Baek SaEon"

the second word that she said to him was "가지마 (gajima) [don't go]"

how melancholic it is for the combine words to turns into a phrase "Baek SaEon, don't go." for someone who's life was never his since the beginning.

"did I asked for this life? stop shoving it down my throat. as I'm at the edge of throwing it all up."

"if i didn't act reckless, i have nowhere to hide. there is nowhere to hide except my back."

you don't talk about baek saeon being a red flag without understanding that he is a trauma on legs. the guy's whole life was built on lie. a lie that we currently don't know which way the writer will reveal to us. I'm not sure whether they will follow the webnovel route or their own route. from the way the story goes, maybe they'll went a different way from the webnovel regarding baek saeon's real identity.

please heejoo save this guy... you're his only salvation, the only one who can let him breathe.

"the only thing that can calm me down was the hand movement of a girl next door practicing sign language every night."

and him being protective over hee joo's hand was also because it is the same hands that always calms his down after his nightmares. the hands were precious to him probably more than she ever know.

[dllamarama]

it's only monday and I'm hoping it is friday already

bring me back baek sa eon

[dllamarama]

I am so 🫠🫠 at that whole Hong Hee Joo falling down the cliff thing.... She knows she has no other option than to reveal that she's been using the kidnapper's phone but those few minutes of the scene where she's scared to reveal it because she knows there's no going back from this and she doesn't want to lose him... 😭😭😭

And him MR PAIK SA EON DESERVES AN OSCAR FOR THE BEST HUSBAND because even though he knows she is using that phone. He doesn't call her out or make her feel ashamed, he lets her keep her pride 😭😭👏🏻👏🏻 he not once but twice calls her 406 rather Hee Joo on the phone so she feels at ease and just let's him know where she is so he can get to her and help her....

PS that "YOU SAID TO CALL WHEN THERE'S A CORPSE?" HE FREAKING CRIES AT THAT (like he is hurt and relieved at the same time 😭😭💔) (Whoever wrote this part you're my hero.)

AND THAT "ARE YOU SCARED? BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO DEATH RIGHT NOW) 😭😭😭

This show -

I can't -

HE KNOWS!!!!

Yoo YoonSeok, what an actor you are!!! the disappointment, the betrayal, the hurt, the confusion!!! I can see every emotion and feel it as it passes through his face. I knew he was a good actor, but it's taken me this long to become obsessed about it.

what do you do when you find out the wife you thought wasn't able to talk has been lying about it and on top of that, calls you often at 10pm to blackmail you into divorcing her, all in the same week? You get drunk, of course!

I say this as someone who knows very little spoilers from the novel: his subordinate is suspiciously good and fast at his job... either he wants that end-of-year bonus sooo bad OR he's the accomplice.

I love it here, so so much. Ugh i need these two to have a hot and heavy make out lol but I think they're not there yet lol for now I will giggle like a sixteen-year-old and kick my feet in the air while I replay their classic accidental kiss. I don't care what anyone says, you're so precious to me cheap tropes and cliches!!! They remind me of the good old days.

Okay, I love how fast this drama moves and how intelligent our leads are (even the second leads despite some annoying traits lol) SaEon is so smart I'd be worried if he didn't realize or even suspected after all the clues, but of course, finding her on that rooftop with the phone was major red flag (in the sense that something is going down not in the toxic relationship context which has no place in this gem of a makjang story!! leave your morals at the door, people!!).

I don't think he heard the whole thing because he got distracted by that employee who had her jacket so, he didn't hear the most personal part of what the "caller" was saying, but finding out she could talk was suspicious enough.

I thought this man wasn't aware of his true feelings, but now I think he just has followed the "conceal don't feel" advice to perfection that he forgot to function emotionally, like a real human being (hello trauma my old friend). And so he knows what he feels for her, and tried to save her from another arranged marriage where she'd feel more caged because he cared all along!

YAASSSS YAASSS YAAAASSSSSSS

yep i had to scream for that whole episode. questionable choice of plot to keep the story moving and to make hee joo fell from the cliff. i mean of course it is cute to see baek sa eon being obvious with wanting to be with hee joo.... but dude you're married and your team didn't know that she is actually your wife. i would definitely turn head with your affection for hee joo if i didn't know she's your wife.

i really like how baek sa eon who was unable to tell his feelings to hee joo got a medium through 406 to convey his sincerity. he can never do that without 406 and him knowing that hee joo is on the other side is comforting to him in a way that he is indirectly confessing to her. he was so guarded with his heart. he never make an effort because he was always ready to let her go. because he thought that this marriage was not something that hee joo wants. but since it isn't that way anymore, he is now able to do just what his heart wants. he likes her...

omaigad the amount of OG kdrama plot in this drama is just *chef's kiss* just how it was when i first watch kdrama 20 years ago. just that in WTPR they toned down the ML that makes it less controversial that how it was before. you haven't seen OG kdrama if you say that baek sa eon is a walking red flag cuz I've seen worse. so personally i thought that it is nice to see this kind of drama make a come back again. not to mention that the married couple plot is back again. Full House, Princess Hours, Wedding, Something About 1% was some of my favourite OG kdrama and i always love seing how the misunderstanding in those dramas were what keeping me at the edge of the seat. the angst, the pain, the plain stupidity, the pride and ego, the realising they love their partner so much that they don't know how to rectify their mistake. i miss those... of couse slice of life and romcom kdrama are great too, but i wanted heated arguments, heartache and angsttt more angstttt just to feel like slapping the main leads because they are too stoopid.

and finallyyyy at the end of the year we got the comeback. we almost had it with Queen of Tears but park ji eun was too obsessed of making a dramatic useless multiple much un-needed plot twist until it turns into rubbish. the only good thing that drama give me was Kim Soohyun and Kim Jiwon chemistry yes I'm shipping them forever other than that it was a disappointment.

i hope that WTPR won't dissapoint me as well. i was hoping the 12 eps will do the drama justice if the kdrama writer have lost the ability to create a decent drama with 16 eps. if you can't sustain the plot just shorten and make it concise and actually i like 12 eps kdrama

[dllamarama]

it's the fact that hee joo didn't even move away because she knows that her husband will not gonna let her reply the message in peace

The most subtle-est of phone readers ever

He has no shame at all

[dllamarama]

The only thing I was looking forward to for the weekend is cancelled because the s korea president wanted to play dictator.

[dllamarama]

omaigaaddd you didn't remember him in those 2 movies? he was the crazy drunk asshole guy who ran over the sheep and accused SJK in A Werewolf Boy.

in Architecture 101 he was the senior that send Suzy home with the car which in turn cause heartbreak for Lee JeHoon. not per se an asshole but a hateful character because of that.

this could go either way: he's angrier and colder than usual OR he just has fun with it. OR BOTH

lol they're so confused.

I saw disbelief and shock in this scene, but I fear the man stopped at anger and ran with it lol We know he's smart, so I'm gonna assume he's gonna figure out pretty quickly it had to be the monster-in-law the one who made her daughter live in a lie all these years. Still, it has to sting a bit such a big lie.

Unrelated kinda but I never imagined I'd be thirsting over this man. I have enjoyed a couple of his roles, but never to this level of obsession where I'm constantly looking at the calendar and wishing it was already Friday. Sometimes, it's all about the right drama/role.

[dllamarama]

whyyyyyyyyyy

last minute cancellation damn it

i was so excited for nothingg

mbc give me back this week's episode
