Sadly, it's to complain again. Just watched episode 9 of 'Secret Romantic Guesthouse'. I've really liked the way you keep the viewers guessing which of the three men at the Guest House is our missing Prince Lee Se Yeon. That's well done. Same with the character of the retired Eunuch who is playing both sides of the palace, either for power & money or for loyalty to the Crown Prince. The Watchman character is the most iinteresting actually. I think I know who it is...But Then....I find pretty well all your female characters unbelievably boring. Even the head of the Bordello is flat. Not one lady has something interesting or different about her personality. And that includes our supposed heroine who seems to think she's pretty smart but then makes such dense decisions...about trading Lee Se Young's life for keeping her guesthouse first, or then sharing way too much information about the Prince with the evil Head of the Guards. And just now, when the King puts something in her hand to see her reaction, she Drops it with a sharp audible gasp letting him know that she's implicated in all this. Really? Can't she 'read the room' just once? The King is famous for killing people and you aren't disciplined enough to control yourself? Writer-nim, wow, she is one of the weakest female leads I've seen since "Woman with A Suitcase". The only thing she's strong at... is telling our Hero to 'burn the book' and she went behind the Lee Se Yoen's back to make arrangements for him to go to China? It's his life and he's smarter than you. She's so sure of her decisions, yet not smart enough to even keep the secret about meeting our hero in the dog house. Actually I haven't liked her that much when she stole his backpack and took it back to her Guesthouse so he would end up staying there. Please 'writer-nim' do your 'sisters' a favour out here and make her stronger. The rest of the plot is great if you don't keep relying on 'misunderstandings' between the leads. Sorry, for sounding so strong, but I honestly find her so very frustrating that I needed to let you know. Charbarn Nov 21 2016 11:26 pm Both Gap-dong and Woman with a Suitcase were good...but could have been great if the script had solved the relationship issues as well as the crimes. The last episode of 'Suitcase' seemed more like an audition for a 'second season' than the wrap-up of a story. One of the reasons I stopped watching American dramas was because nothing ever ends...just more of the same every year...the situation & characters stay the same without much change in order to make more money from the concept. The ending for Suitcase felt the same to me...three years later and we have our heroine still hanging between the Prosecutor & the Paparazzi Mogul working on yet another case. No retribution for anyone: the CEO of Ohsang,nor his replacement; even Prosecutor Choi was bumped up to Assistant Chief. Worst of all, the sister, who stayed on the dark side until she was caught, landed on her feet too. Ultimately, I did like the small characters that came in and out of the law office, but the main characters fell short, especially our OTP who had good chemistry but no follow-through. The script was a banquet of interesting legal information and delicious characters, but somehow, I still felt hungry at the end.
