Comments

Lee Oct 21 2022 12:30 am I agreed with some of the comments on the ending part When Dong Ha proposed to Soo Yeon no excitement at all, I have been waiting for good ending like Dong Ha n Soo Yeon Grand wedding with Seo Jun as flower boy or when Dong Ha met Soo Yeon at the hawker stall n Dong Ha propose to Soo Yeon n thereafter 2gether with Seo Jun migrate to US and had a grand wedding There r many possible happy ending scene If the writer copy the series of the ending part of cheer up my life then is good the rating of Gold Mask will be will very good. I continue to watch to the end because I wanted to support our Lee's clans Lee Hyun Jin

Lilly Oct 13 2022 8:15 pm Pls, dnot leave us with no ending. We all want to see to Yoo-Soo-Yeon And Kang-dong-Ha have a happy ending. Like Cinderella, which the story was about and watched since day one. It's good & mentally rewarding to us followers to see a happy ending. The writers can at least make an hour happy ending for us followers. Otherwise, I will never watch any of your shows again. You don't leave us in a "What is the ending". Be more sensitive to our dedication to this show. Make it right & give us a peaceful ending for us to know there is Love & happy endings if you believe in faith.

Channah G. Oct 08 2022 2:50 am Rushed finale….& Where was Seo YuRa at the end?

Sharon Oct 08 2022 1:02 am I loved this drama so much, was watching from South Africa.. The were so many emotions while watching golden mask, sometimes happy,angry,relief I lost count on how I wanted to throw my tv away?? but either way I enjoy episode 1- 100…

But the end of it was a little bit rushed… wanted to see more of Su yeon and Mr kang being in in love,wedding,kids and all the TLC between the two lovebirds.

Hoping they will be episode 2

MJ Oct 07 2022 9:31 pm I agree with Girl. The ending of this story is anti-climactic.

It seems the story and scriptwriter got very tired already... they could not come up with a more exciting ending. The ending was so flat... no element of surprise or emotional high!

I would have ended it perhaps with a new investor coming in to see the new designs of Soo Yeon, asking to meet with her over dinner to discuss the new product designs, ... turning out to be Dong Ha coming back from the US.

Or one day, Seo-Jun celebrates his birthday in a picnic outing with Mommy Soo Yeon, to suddenly be missing, only to be found with Dong Ha in the picnic grounds bringing a gift and to propose to Soo Yeon.

So many possible scenes... except the boring last scene with no background why the two are meeting....

Hyun mi Oct 07 2022 9:22 pm The ending of Dong Ha n Soo Yeon should get back 2gether b4 dong ha go to US When they met again at the food stall and have a grand wedding ceremony after that and show both of them have their own children n 2gether with Seo Joon Then the rating of this drama will be good on the accident scene Instead of Jin Woo died Should make Jina died not Jin Woo then will be perfect The whole drama rating should go to the main cast Lee Hyun-Jin for his perfect acting I hope to see him as main cast again In the future new drama Good Job Lee Hyun-Jin

Girl Oct 07 2022 6:54 pm We were robbed!!! Big fkn time!!!! After to s of irrelevant scenes, they rush the ending like that?? Waaah I’m so mad.

BANDIT VON JAVA Oct 06 2022 9:19 pm I know this is a makjang drama, so I expected evil characters, ridiculous storyline with crazy plot twists... But pls, some characters are just too much. Chairman Cha is truly evil n toxic, but believes she is righteous n noble. No wonder her children turned out so f*cked up: Hong Jinwoo is a wimpy, puny dick n Hong Jina is crazy n obssessive. The "sick" father ain't no better, he's a pathetic excuse for a man. Despite a lovely house, the whole family is a toxic dump. Yet whatever misdeed the "devils" commit, they always blame other. "Yu Suyeon, Yu Suyeon, Yu Suyeonnn... Aaarrggghh!!!" is getting so sickening...

MJ Oct 06 2022 8:43 pm Cha Ye Ryun (Yoo Soo Yeon) could get better direction on acting as her body language is very much lacking in emotion. Most of the time she is like a wooden mannequin standing without motion.

Why is it that even if the car is coming down to hit them on the road, they do not get out of the way, but still manage to stop and pose to look at the oncoming vehicle instead of jumping out of the way. Director pls. get the action right...!

Lilly Oct 05 2022 10:46 pm I'm an American hooked on this series since start.This series reminds me of Dallas & Dynasty. There so potential this can go on beyond tbe 100 episodes. Lets all remember no matter the likes & dislikes of this show. It keeps us all wanting to see the next episode of the outcomre. Too short to end. I believe this can through re-runs in USA & other countries, the Golden Mask can go on for longer and maybe on some years. I have to read subtitles, its worth to me. The actors keep me so interested, I shut all my daily activities off to the day to keep up with this series. Please reconsider, this show can make a hit longer than you think. I Love all the cast and writers, all involved in the making.Will miss the clothes, jewlery, the men so GQ. WiIl be sad to see it end too soon. Here's to all of the making of Golden Mask. Standing Ovation. Clap,Clap, Clap. Love You All.

Hyun mi Oct 03 2022 10:46 pm Episode 96 Dong Ha is a smart person But the writer should not allowed Dong Ha to fall into the trap of crazy women again n again Dong Ha should not enter the crazy women car Crazy women want to die don't involve Dong Ha he is innocent Good men shouldn't die like Dong Ha In this episode I pity Dong Ha very sad The one to blame is the mother Mi sook she make her son to live a miserable life Dong Ha uncle should make a stop to all this stop that crazy women from making Dong Ha life so miserable n help Dong Ha to quickly divouce that crazy women instead of allowing crazy women to delay n delay If is not Lee Hyun Jin acting I m not going to watch this drama at all I only support Lee Hyun Jin he,s the Best

MJ Sep 28 2022 8:25 pm Dear story and scriptwriters and director: why are there so many unnecessary scenes that are inconsequential (or irrelevant) (only to lighten the mood)... especially gleeful scenes of Go MiSook the scheming stupid mother of Dong Ha?? So you can have 95 episodes of agonizing drag of the story? Almost 30% of scenes in this drama are irrelevant and do not add value to the plot and viewers.

You make us suffer instead of enjoying the better part of this drama!

Angie Sep 25 2022 8:28 am I think the writer is making Dong-Ha a liar. Isn't it Dong-Ha keeps on saying to Jin-A not to touch him? How come in one scene in episode 86 Jin-A is sleeping on Dong-Ha's lap? Don't tell me that they are just pretending because all of the people in that house already knows that they are not sleeping in one bed. Maybe the writer forgot about that. It won't be surprised when Jin-A will really get pregnant with Dong-Ha's child.

MJ Sep 23 2022 9:01 pm The character Go Mi Sook and the actress Lee Hwi Yang are sooo overacting!! And scriptwriters are trying to make her a funny character with uncle DaeChul, whom she keeps hitting like a childish brat. Lousy script!

MJ Sep 21 2022 6:49 am Kang Dong Ha is so lame...! He lives with misery by continuing to stay with Hong Jina his crazy wife. He has enough grounds to declare her crazy... having an imaginary baby; spying on him; causing scandal in his office. He should end his misery by filing divorce. And his mother Go Mi Sook is just as crazy, trying to make a marriage out of hell with Hong Jina for her son!!

What an annoying drama of crazy and lame characters! I can't wait to see it end soon!!!!!!

Jenny Sep 21 2022 4:48 am I read all the comments some are the comments are logical but some of the comments are absurd in this drama I feel that is dragging too long which is not necessary to prolong the story. in fact in this drama only 1 actor who are good is his acting is Lee Hyun Jin (Kang Dong Ha) he is the best among the other actor & actress in this drama the only 1 I hate to see is Gong Da-Im (Hong Jina) I called her Crazy Women I hope to see happy ending Kang Dong Ha & Yoo Soo Yeon back 2gather married and live happily with the Kid Seo Jun I hope to see more new drama coming up with Lee Hyun Jin as Main Lead Hi... Lee Hyun Jin keep up your Good Acting I Like you the most

Makjang Sep 16 2022 7:29 am I was about to comment but then I learned... "A 'makjang' series is an exaggerated drama. Ridiculous, unrealistic and abnormal situations are normal in these series." "a form of drama that is difficult to comprehend or accept based on common sense or ordinary moral standards." So, all the unnecessary plot twists makes sense now haha.

Angie Sep 15 2022 7:55 am It's confirmed! Hong Jin-A is pregnant with Kang Dong-Ha's baby and they will air this before the 90th episode. It's only Jin-A that will have a happy ending on this drama.

Jinie Sep 14 2022 2:17 am I had been following the drama golden mask Some of the comments given got logic 1. Dong Ha mother no sense at all a good mother will expect her son to live happily in life but opposite way Dong Ha mother ruined her son life like sending Dong Ha to Hell 2. Why Dong Ha make a silly decision by marrying jina just because she threaten to send So Yeon to jail Dong Ha should stand firm n should have discuss with Soo Yeon I m sure there is law n justice, poof n witness It's not easy for Jina to say that she want to send So Yeon to jail Hope to see Dong Ha escape from the haunted house of the Hong family n get divorce with Jina Hope to see the happy ending where Dong Ha married So Yeon n live as a happy family with their own children If the ending sees Dong Ha still living in the Haunted hse of the Hong Family I m going to stop watching this drama sorry to say that

MJ Sep 13 2022 11:42 pm Go Mi Sook is now the most despicable character in this drama. What mother would put use her son for revenge in a miserable marriage?? She is shallow and vain. She is a most annoying, character next to Hong Jin A. They deserve each other.

Cha Hwa Young should try to get rid of Go Mi Sook for being just simply annoying!! hahhaha....!!!!

Hyun mi Sep 09 2022 4:41 am Gold mask I like Kang dong ha acting The whole series a bit too long drag n drag Repeat n repeat I hate Jin woo sister jina always shout Her acting very boring Hope to see Dong ha back with Soo yeun Happy ending

Hyun mi

Angie Sep 08 2022 10:51 am I don't think Yoo Soo-Yeon and Kang Dong-Ha will end up together because Hong Jin-A will get pregnant with Kang Dong-Ha's baby. How? Well, knowing Hong Jin-A, she will do everything so that Kang Dong-Ha will sleep with her. Maybe she will get him drunk...they will not use the fake pregnancy because it was already used by Seo Yoo-Ra. And knowing Kang Dong-Ha as nice as he is, he will not divorce Hong Jin-A. Yoo Soo-Yeon will also not get back to Hong Jin-Woo so the ending will be it's only Yoo Soo-Yeon, Hong Seo-Joon and Kim Hye-Kyung.

Jamse Sep 07 2022 10:16 pm Ok, this show is taking a ridiculous wrong turn.

SPOILERS

Suddenly the psychopathic, murder soliciting chairwoman is “misunderstood” and “neglected.”

And even worse, the sociopath murderess Yoo Ra is suddenly “wronged” and has just been seeking “revenge”, and is just a more violent version of Soo Yeon.

This along with the needless focus on the annoying chaebol daughter represents a serious error in judgement as the show winds down.

Rorih Sep 05 2022 3:27 am Drama conclusion-mr.kang and soo yeon will get marry as always typical predicted kdrama ms.koo will conquer SA group and her jobless brother of ms.ko will get marry with soo yeons emmu so called aunty ..yu ra and cha hwa young end up in jail so waste of time already we know the end of drama story line I wish soo yeon could have given another chance to her sons father cz practically we women are not very easy going soo yeon being a lead always after a man

Jamse Sep 02 2022 4:52 pm It was a mistake to move the focus to the annoying, one-note, spoiled daughter, while the main villains have been sidelined. Get through it already and back to the conflict between Seo Yeon, Yoo Ra and Hwa Young.

Winnie Sep 02 2022 10:47 am 1. I hope the story did not end with Sun Tea (Jin Wii’s father) and Kim Hye-Kyung (Soo Yeon’s mother), as it will not sit well. 2. Hopefully Kang Dong-Ha divorce Jin A. Dong-Ha and Soo Yeon together at the end. 3. Yu-Ra arrested by police before her divorce so Jin Woo being humiliated. 4. Cha Hwa Young also arrested for the death of soo yeon’s father. Also the secretary. 5. Sun Tea has not done his ‘responsibility’ as a parent , so at the end he takes care of Jin A , Jin A Will has an accident after divorced with Dong-ha.

Angie Sep 01 2022 11:49 pm On the synopsis above, it says that Go Mi-Sook (Lee Whee-Hyang) is a....She is a good person. If she is a good person, why did she do that to her own son? Even though how angry she is or want to get revenge, she should think first what is good for her son. There are other ways to get revenge, without using his son.

Barbara lewis Sep 01 2022 5:01 pm This was my favorite daily drama. WAS. It is totally ridiculous. The mean daughter gets her man. The man is stupid for sacrificing his love due to the crazy daughters threat. His mother use to be my favorite character and is now despicable. Writers, please stop making these characters so naive. You are portraying them as dimwits.

Toos Sep 01 2022 6:07 am I really like this drama, a bit on the slow side, still worth watching. Not everyone is good and open with their feelings, this has many sad ones and nasty in laws.

Oma Aug 31 2022 4:13 pm Bad storylines makes bad actors. Though it isn’t easy to write one but this is a No ❌ for me ????? I rather watch the last two episodes ??‍♀️??‍♀️. Sorry writer

Georgia Aug 29 2022 9:16 pm Terrible acting by the lead actress SY. No expression whatsoever! Even when the guy is confessing to her. The Male leads dialogue delivery is bad. Looks like he is always making announcements! The current storyline is pathetic! He agrees to marry that woman? However noble the cause, it is tiring to watch! All in all bad actors, bad story lines... Sigh.

lrt Aug 28 2022 2:36 pm That little boy looks terrorized for real.... I hate to seeeee that!!! Also, the SA group grand dame's ear jewelry is the same as how they tag a cow. Can't get that image out of my head. Reallllly can't stand the fake lying deceiving daughter in law who abuses her stepchild!!! Be gone.

Rosalie Aug 27 2022 11:16 am Love this drama except for last two episodes. Waiting for Jin A to get caught walking. Btw, acting is excellent compared to American Soap Operas. Love Cha Ye Ryun! Over the top acting is a necessity for a daily drama.

aqui Aug 25 2022 1:35 pm @MJ - yes, I agree, Cha Ye Ryun can't "support" the character Seo Yoon. It is visible, it is an wooden acting and she plays only with texts. The scene moving, the mimic is very poor - she doesn;t know what to do with her hands, how to act the romantic scenes ( this type of dramas are not for her!) . Yeon Min-Ji with the diabolic character is absolutely opposite of Ye Ryn's acting - she is sensational !!! The same with torn internally Lee Joong-Moon - he developes the character and add a lot of emotions. Lee Hyun-Jin can't act with all his passion the romantic episodes ( yes, Ye Ryun) but uses his charming mimic, and developes the mum and son's scenes - Lee Whee-Hyang -> bravo! There is also one character which is...indistinct..till now. Park Chan-Hwan is at the background with the bizarre character ( father-in-low doesn't know his daughter in low's mother?) - he is ill or he is "ill" thanks to his wife? Summing up, I watch this drama ...Also because of the fashion and painting pictures :D..as usual :D. Let's wait till the end and maybe our suggestions will improve the drama? Who knows?

Norah Aug 25 2022 1:17 pm Yoo seo-yoon done with her expression ..her expression provoke me to stop watching the show and why this yoo-seo-yoo. Can’t focus with her career and kids rather playing a gold digger ..director pls.give the lead with a good character rather letting to play for gold digger.. drama is about a women with a different mask than why women can’t play a strong role rather falling for love again n again that too with the same office people and if mr.Kang wasn’t reach enough am sure she won’t have fallen for him ..this k-drama director giving a bad example to Korean society and as well as globally lastly pls.change the lead actress her facial expression n pouting of lip can’t stand doesn’t feel pity rather giving a slap

MJ Aug 23 2022 1:56 am Too many over-acting and unnecessary dialogue and screen time for characters Gong Mi-sook, Gong Dae-cheol, and boring romance between trying hard comic Gong Dae-cheol and traitor auntie Young Mi. Its a drag!

Can the Director ask the actress for Yoo Seo-yoon to emote more with her eyes and body language and change her facial expressions?

The story has too many distractions with unnecessary scenes and dialogues. It should stay focused on the plot to uncover the crime and corruption. It should also be more realistic... how can CEO Hong be a restaurant cleaner?

Renee Aug 21 2022 2:29 pm OMG Some of the acting on this show is just bad.... the actors that have the roles of SY and YR are just plain awful! The same emotionless expressions on their faces and their acting is bland and thats being kind even saying that much. The show itself is really good and the acting of the majority of the cast is spot on but the acting of the both of them is just hard to watch for five days a week and makes you want to change the channel on the tv. How on earth did those two actresses manage to land the roles of SY and YR. Didn't they read for the parts and how could the casting person not have seen just how bland..dry and just awful they were and are at portraying those two characters.

A Aug 21 2022 8:45 am So, Young Ji betrayed Soo Yeon but there are no consequences and she can still continue being in the house and date Go Dae Cheol with all the sappy scenes. Really.

MJ Aug 16 2022 11:12 pm The scriptwriter of this drama must be the same as Red Shoes. It has the same pattern. Every episode they trade threats to each other, and no consistency in action. If Joon Woo wants to reconcile with Yoo Seon, he should be try to win her over, and yet he remains indifferent to her. Yoo Seon keeps threatening her mother in law but has very little means to fight her except to throw bitter words!

And there are these annoying unncessary character No Young Ji, the auntie, with her ridiculous desperate romance with Dae Chol. Not amusing. It only makes the story longer but not more interesting.

Medina Aug 12 2022 1:57 pm Loveee this drama! Excellent acting and story time! Love that this show has 100 episodes.Can't wait to see how it end

Jamse Jul 31 2022 12:53 am I really like this series but I don’t understand

SPOILERS

Lord Voldemort face sociopath Yoo Ra. If she really IS rich, what’s her motivation for wanting to be part of the rich family? I guess we’ll find out, but it’s a puzzler.

Vee Jul 30 2022 8:50 am Bad acting ? Some of the actors can't express themselves well. It's like watching a third rate drama series

Lily Jul 22 2022 1:27 am Ridiculous and repeated stories.. but yes I'm still hooked...

Kristine Jul 15 2022 9:04 pm This is not one to air outside Korea. Way to stereotype much. Step parent abusive…. seriously. Sadistically evil. End it early.

Success Jul 13 2022 3:08 pm The movie is nice but the episodes is too much .Is high time they end the story .38 episodes so far why ….Is too much .You guys should end it at least 40 episodes.Thank you

Shawn Jul 03 2022 5:52 am I agree Jamse. The kid actor is so good that he makes me want to fly to Korea and slap-a-bish! I can't stand that fake Yeri from Red Velvet looking bish! The child abuse storyline is so awful. It needs to end immediately. I feel so bad for the poor baby.

Jamse Jul 01 2022 9:30 pm This show is getting more and more exciting but they really need to end the

SPOILERS

Child abuse storyline. It’s getting extremely painful to watch.

Nelli Jul 01 2022 5:49 pm Main girl has low key personality. But that is her personality in this drama. Think we’ll get a lot of justified revenge by end. Ex MIL has to go to prison (can you imagine her trying to maintain her ‘holier than thou’ attitude in prison? lol. And her new DIL will need to be imprisoned as well. Both are murderers. Oh and evil Ex MIL has that assistant who is also a murderer. They think they’re better than others but they are the inhuman, evil, classless ones. Better be a great revenge filled ending!!

Norizam Jun 30 2022 5:53 pm I love tis drama..... anyway the female lead needs to be more expressive with her acting.... bcos she appears cool at all situations....anyway she is beautiful....the male lead is awesome.... looking forward to watch the coming episodes.....

Leah Jun 30 2022 3:22 am Main actress acting is quite boring, always syncing Very annoying

Jamse Jun 27 2022 9:56 pm I wonder what (obviously) Yoo Ra will do to Sun Tae that turns his hair white as shown in the poster above?

Serry Jun 26 2022 2:53 am Think the script is suck , and also looks like a copycat of another korean drama " Second husband". Honestly it's boring to watching especially in 2022 , when leading actress is too weak to face the opponent .

JY Jun 26 2022 12:08 am Am really beginning to love this drama/series. There are good balance in the story/suspense unfold. Some episodes are slow pace and some are fast. Is adequate to keep viewer want more....i believe more excitement in the coming episodes. "Revenge best served Cold"

mml Jun 22 2022 7:08 pm This is an interesting drama . Go Mi Sook is a clever and cute person . Go Mi Sook is a person that gives me some fun to this drama .

Is a revenge drama and therefore , i am hoping that , Go Mi Sook and Yoo Soo Yeon will win the company .

I hope Go Mi Sook will become the chairman of SA group .

Kang Dong Ha can become the President of SA group to protect his business and there will be romance with Yoo Soo Yeon too .

Frankie Jun 22 2022 8:52 am I was so excited to see Cha YR but after the first episode, I have to say goodbye to this drama. I can't imagine the PD & sponsors approve such a show. Waste of talent and time.

Meg Jun 22 2022 6:49 am The acting of the main actress is not as good as expected. The story is too dramatic, too much misfortune for the main actress. The story line is too slow. I will rate 6 out of 10.

Kristine Jun 21 2022 12:04 pm Sadistic series. Won’t be watching. Like beautiful love wonderful life which was neither beautiful or wonderful. If this was my first drama it would be my last. This is not the ones to show overseas.

Abyjay Jun 21 2022 7:19 am Please let the real action begin, I can't wait to see what happens to Yoo Ra and Mad. Cha. Yoo soo Yeon is too calm abeg oooh..

Young Lee Godwin Jun 21 2022 7:10 am I am disappointed in the female main actress she isn't pleasing at all. Already episode 20 still no action taken. When will she ever plan her revenge and I wish to continue with the next episode to know what's next. Please I beg the director to shorten the episode because it will be boring if it reaches episode 50 or more.

A Jun 20 2022 8:51 am I wish the main actress will plan and start her revenge already. Properly.

And I am frustrated that the main actor Dongha is not doing much. At all.

Enough talking on the phones and start taking action and get the story moving please.

I was really looking forward to the downfall of the villians so please do more, both of you.

Julia Jun 18 2022 12:25 am Low class family (seo yeon's family) always act or react on the low class actions. No planning as always, and comes with no decent. While the wealthy class of family always do foxy and cannie actions. And th drama like this always come to hundred episode of nonsense

Albs Jun 17 2022 7:56 pm Soo Yeon's mom is so annoying. I wish she's the one who died and not the father.

Nyla Jun 17 2022 12:24 pm Director is just dragging out...it's so annoying. Already 19 episodes but the lead actress is still dumb, doing the same things, it's going to a long series. Thank you but I am stopping here

Oma Jun 17 2022 1:38 am Glass mask just the same way the lead was treat . So naïve I think I will stop watching this drama because is so annoying I suggest the write to take Down 50 episodes because he/she is just going round the circle ⭕️.

Love Jun 15 2022 3:37 am Likes, am literally disappointed with this script, the female main is annoying me, her gullibility and Naivety is making me pissed out...

None of this character in this drama has made me impressed...

Hating on Yoo Soo and Ber families actually unnecessary, the hatred is too much,to the extent of killing her dad again...

I hope the next episode is pleasing

Nyla Jun 15 2022 2:59 am The naivety of Yoo Soo is just on another level... after all that memory lane discovery you entrusted her with ur son unless ofcourse you started playing her games too. I hope you fall with Dong Ha and Jin Woo just lives a life full of misfortunes and regrets. He is madning ?

K Jun 14 2022 6:03 pm This is my first time watching korean dramas. Am not Korean so do not know if it is bad by Korean standards. Watching on Kocowa and this is the absolute best drama or soap opera as we say in America that I have ever seen. And trust me I have watched a lot of American soaps. Love this show and I hope it doesn't get cancelled.

Dudjs Jun 14 2022 8:36 am @Lia, I agree. Jin A’s role could be a refresher if they made her a nice yet comedic character. This series is just a spinoff of Temptation of Wife, what made it a success was the character balance in the husband side — evil motherinlaw and mistress vs heroic fatherinlaw and the funny sister.

But the evil characters in this show overpowered the nice ones. In the chaebol fam, even the manager is irritating. The father-in-law is the very least redeeming character, but is very very weak.

Yumi Jun 14 2022 4:34 am That mother-in- law is always playing the villain character in all her dramas. Can you act a good person for once? So annoying! I'm not gonna waste my time on this kind of dramas cause at the end, no justice at all to the villains

Jamse Jun 13 2022 10:03 pm I know it’s the way the character is written, but could Soo Yeon’s dad be any dumber?

Kristine Jun 12 2022 5:28 pm Literally watched 5 minutes on cable and won’t be watching. Don’t air these sort of sadistic things abroad.

B Jun 12 2022 9:24 am @Love 100 episodes

Agatha Jun 11 2022 5:13 am A challenging and compelling watch. Difficult to see a husband treat his wife with so little consideration. A family with no human compassion. The head of the family is selfish wimp and seemingly uninvolved in the goings-on in his home. I'll keep watching.

Ryan Kevin Verdiyanto Jun 09 2022 5:39 am @AJ: hahaha.. Sounds possible! Perhaps also Black Gloves, White Socks, or else?

AJ Jun 08 2022 7:34 pm Red Shoes, Gold Mask... what next? Blue Pants? :-)

Mary Jun 08 2022 6:53 pm I just watched episode 12; so far I am enjoying the drama. This Kdrama is 100 episode series, which is why we feel like the main characters suffering is being prolonged. I say give it a chance, if you made it through Divorce ft love and marriage… you can give this one a Go! I believe the writers will surprise us.

Lee Jun 08 2022 6:00 am Just finished ep 2 but probably will stop watching. I'm just feeling that all the main cast are so robotic. The main actress just look so weak and limp that I just feel tired watching her. The plot is also just as repetitive as more revenge sort of kdrama except some have better cast, just not this one.

Jamse Jun 07 2022 11:09 pm Even though we know the heroine will triumph in the end it will be just as much fun to see the sociopathic homewrecker eventually betray the sadistic mother in law and kick her to the curb. You know it’s coming.

Shawn Jun 07 2022 6:13 pm @Patience... she's lost her husband, but so far still has the baby and her momma. My guess is she will lose the baby and the mom will live. I was hoping she wouldn't lose the baby, but I can see the writers going there since her husband now loathes her and his family not caring two shi ts about her or the unborn child. The baby is literally a plot device :(

I must say Jin Woo is so handsome. I was hoping they got back together, but he cheated on her and continues to turn to that homewrecking, broke as$ Yeri from Red Velvet looking but can't make me feel her rhythm garden tool! I mean Yu Ra! HaHa!!

I love the actress that plays the mother-in-law, but I want to slap her silly in this drama. She's so good at playing a pretentious/evil, low down b i t c h! She makes my skin boil when she's on screen.

So far I'm not really feeling any thing for the leading man Dong Ha. He's handsome, but the character needs to be developed more for me to really root for him with So Yeon. I much prefer the acting of Jin Woo over his acting so far. I'm hoping we get a good side story, perhaps with Soo Yeon's cousin because I'm not feeling Jin Woo's sister at all and the other side stories haven't really come to light just yet.

I'm enjoying this drama, even though it breaks my heart to see how abusive everyone is to Soo Yeon!! I want her and Seo Jun to reunite. I love that kid so much in Second Husband and he's making me love him in this drama too! He's such a cutie!! Poor kid just wants his mama. I can't believe they are taking her parental rights away from her when she's such a great mom to him. Poor kid.

Patience Mutomba Jun 07 2022 1:06 am Ayii this drama really makes me cry, but how can you revenge after loosing everything, husband, baby and your mommy.. The most saddest korean drama for me the beginning of this year

Angela Jun 06 2022 8:17 pm Episode 11 So Koreans just throw paper bags on the street ? They just litter as they please?

Lia Jun 06 2022 1:58 am For me this is worst melodrama ever. What happened with the cast selection? the acting of all the players looks very stiff, the scenes this drama too dramatized. Cha Ye Ryun's acting is not strong yet. The slap scene that Ye Ryun received from her mother-in-law in episode 2 was not as good as the previous Korean drama slap scenes, the slapping scene here looks very stiff, I hope Jina's role can be a refresher for this drama, but in fact not, her acting is very boring too, she also not pretty but always screaming when talking in this drama. This drama had similar story with sbs's drama the woman who married three time, but this sbs's drama still best than this drama

SosaHI Jun 05 2022 5:32 pm It's just too hard to watch too much abuse my nerves cannot take it. Great cast not too good story or presentation. I stopped after the 2nd episode. Not for me

BULLHALLA Jun 05 2022 5:26 pm Oh lord . cannot watch it. noticed how the ratings slipped as days went on ?

I stopped watching after the 3rd episode. Is  this a series of abuse how can any one person or persons be so mean and the housekeeper check it  out the way she speaks must be nice having a role to slap people around ? They have a great cast , but loser OH , aka Lee Joong Moon he is a weak person even in this just like Secrets and lies.  I thought Cha Hwa Young had more class must be hard getting a job now in film.  Except for the Kang Dong Has family that is the saving grace in this , this is not worth watching and I wont subject myself or anyone else watching this .  Just poor writing and story.   it will go on and on and nothing will change . A story with substance it is not. off the dvr list it goes.   Watch: Bravo my life,  Its Beautiful now.

Mercy Jun 02 2022 2:38 pm can't stand another mexican drama where the protagonist is suffering... even less than 20 episodes! jajaja. Can't stand physical abuse of kneeling and slaps, etc. Is this really legal in Korea...... this is the 21th Century......nop this drama is not for me.

Country bumpkin Jun 02 2022 1:44 pm The husband actually was looking for a live in housemaid so he decided to marry her. Lol.

B Jun 02 2022 12:08 pm What is going to happen will be sad. She is going to get divorce, her mother will die and she will lost her baby. That's when the badass her will come to life. Her revenge will then begin with the help of Lee Hyun Jin of course. ? I am just guessing.??

Ryan Kevin Verdiyanto Jun 02 2022 12:23 am @Drama Queen: imo, Suyeon doesn't actually need to take Seojun with her. Just let him be with that wench, Yura. However, when Yura later has a child with Jinwoo, Suyeon should kidnap the child thus raise him/her as her tool for revenge.

Voila! Another gracious revenge in the making!

jamse Jun 01 2022 6:10 pm Cha Ye-Ryun is excellent in this drama, suffering torments with noble grace and dignity. Hope she's able to get payback, sometimes these dramas don't end with the resolutions they should.

Drama Queen Jun 01 2022 5:04 pm I already want to kickdown the mother in law... listen if you're kicking me out of the house I'm taking my child with me!. The husband is a big hypocrite. . The daughter in law needs to wake up and smell the coffee.. bit obvious she's being framed. As for the husband .he's judging her by his standards.. lots of Domestic abuse in that family.

Capa Jun 01 2022 1:15 am Acting seems bit wooden and unnatural. I'll give it a few more episodes to see if it grows on me.

A May 30 2022 10:56 pm Spoiler Alert

I completely dislike the head housekeeper. Also super disappointed at the second male lead for sleeping around so easily with someone else after getting drunk. No control at all. The Kahi ad placements are getting too much.

Melissa May 30 2022 7:29 am Woooww.. this is so Evil... type of Cinderella story

Jamse May 27 2022 11:08 pm SPOILERS

You can bet anything that both the evil Chaebol mother-in-law AND the calculating homewrecker are hiding their own lowborn pasts.

littlepinky May 26 2022 6:03 pm where can you see Ms Kim(security), is even equal to the mother in law of main lead, in her manner of speakin.Much more the son is overpowered by the villain. Not the story with underdog Cinderella where i will continue watching..

Ryan Kevin Verdiyanto May 23 2022 7:32 am Can't stand the evil already, even on this first episode!

Overall, nice start, tho.
