Comments

Zeila Jan 06 2026 10:52 pm First, I normally love long family dramas, and I expect a certain amount of repetitiveness and a few tropes. However, this had to be the worst drama I have ever tried to watch!! I had seen a lot of bad reviews about it online, but decided to judge for myself. So repetitive that half way through I just skipped the middle of the eps and went straight to the end. So "tropey" it was easy to guess what was coming next...the accidents, the hospitalizations, the scams, no guess-work needed at all. The chairman had 9 lives! Every character ended up in the hospital at one point or another, but the chairman went in with "life-threatening" illnesses so many times...even complete paralysys. The screaming in every ep was waaayyy over the top and cartoonish. The ending? Absolutely ridiculous. Who wrote this crap?

Jamse Dec 25 2025 1:43 pm The reason why the ending felt so rushed is because there were just too many episodes of “I’m the CEO, no I’M the CEO.” Along with the Kyeong Chae character’s constant snarl and scowl, and the Sun Jae character’s perpetual sneer and smirk, it just became repetitive and tiresome.

Norma Dec 18 2025 10:10 pm I don't understand how this drama has a love ratings coz this is the best.Crying in the last 2 episodes

Ellen White Dec 12 2025 8:14 am I'm crying episode 123 : (

Quantumnurse Dec 12 2025 7:57 am Hello @Sullivan,

I think MBC’s new daily drama will be “First Man” starring Hahm Eun Jung and Yoon Sun Woo that will start on December 15, 2025. However, I skip both drama, "The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun" and "First Man". I do not like revenge story, I prefer family drama that encourages forgiveness and 'conquering' challenges or 'prevailing' over adversity, I am just throwing my two cents. Thank you.

Elaine Dec 11 2025 12:57 pm Why are they dragging this drama to 125 episodes, it was 120,Kyung Chae and her maid is a bit ridicules, when they know the truth, especially the maid, she knew the result of the DNA test and still play dumb

Peggy Lawson Dec 10 2025 9:04 am The storyline in episode 122 is ridiculous What real mother is going to react the way Lucia did-just standing there looking stupid. I can’t watch this show anymore. You are going to let someone in your home’ slap you around, take Se Rei hostage and walk out. The actor who plays Lucia is unbelievable The script flip of Stella is ridiculous. All of a sudden she becomes meek and mild. These last few episodes have been a nightmare

SosaHI Dec 04 2025 9:35 pm This is a great drama keeps you on edge. Some of it is so funny with the loan shark couple.

Sullivan Dec 03 2025 10:47 pm Anyone know what MBCs next daily will be? Usually, one can find those updated here on Asainwiki, but this drama should have maybe one week left and still no news.

abc Nov 28 2025 10:50 pm @jinjoo, the housekeeper thought Miso would die. She also thought that Kyung Chae would not survive that. So she switched the babies.

Oh Jang Suk is a great actor. But I am still not used to seeing him as a bad guy. But it only shows how versatile he is that he can play the good and the baddie so well.

Now the scenes show how much love KyungChae has for Seri. Please, cuddling in bed and saying ILY doesn't cut it. Early scenes where Seri ran wild like an untamed beast hunting for dinner. KyungChae would slap her and then banish her, all the while talking about how Seri's actions would affect the stock price. Whatever the writer wants to say, I think KyungChae had Seri only out of defiance of her father. She had little love and time to teach, guide and nurture Seri.

jinjoo Nov 19 2025 12:46 pm Wow I'd say one of the best epis I saw was ep 107, acting of these 2 great actors first of all were to be reckoned with! I've always asdmire Oj Jang suk when I saw him first time in Princess Aurora (teamed up with my other K actor face Seo ha jun) anyway, since we're also talking about the switching of Se ri and Miso, it's mind boggling how the mean housekeeper switched the babies, was I missing a thing when I saw the scene in the ambulance? Did she switch them bec she thought the other baby (Mi so) was dying? anyone please shed some light :) also re Mdm Jang, big time she'll regret what she'd done to Lucia for sure & this will be a slap on her face! However, I'm liking the way her assistant who calls Jang 'mom' has been demonstrating his disgusts with her & really monitoring the strategies of both Mdm Jang & K. Chae! I can't wait for the rest of this drama! (also I'm wondering why the ratings are not so impressive where this is one of the best interesting Kdramas I've seen lately?) hmmm

Jamse Nov 17 2025 3:15 pm SPOILERS

The switched at birth twist is really dumb. Following the show’s logic, all that’s going to happen is that Kyeong Chae and Stella will switch from “we’ll destroy anyone for Se Ri” to “Get Se Ri” because of her role in the death of Mi So, completely ignoring Kyeong Chae’s involvement. It would have been better to leave Se Ri where she was so that she could properly atone for her past crimes.

Gian Louis Nov 13 2025 10:25 am I’m pretty sure Stella Jang will regret siding with Kyung-Chae. I really feel bad for Lucia. And especially for Tae-Joo, who treated her like his real mother!

Gian Louis Nov 13 2025 10:23 am See? I was right! Manager Gong actually switched the babies of Baek Sul-Hee and Kyung-Chae! Mi-So is Kyung-Chae’s real daughter!

Anyone who stopped watching this drama has no idea what they’re missing. It’s so good!

jinjoo Nov 12 2025 7:41 pm I think Lucia & TK shld at least think of finding out if the DNA has been forged, that would be a slap on the face for Mdm Jang! the lawyer sun jae is so evil as evil as Kyeong chae! can't wait to see the end of this drama!

jinjoo Nov 12 2025 4:56 pm is it only me or it was sub error i believe in ep 98 or 99 when that mean lawyer went to show the DNA result to Mdm Jung, I read it clear indicating 'no match' as granddaughter/grandma, then the on the next ep Mdm Jung found out there's a match? woa confusing as it was! fast f/ward M. Jung after all these yrs having a good relationship with Lucia/Tae Kyung suddenly became so irrational just bec she believe this evil woman and evil lawyer! i can only surmise kyeong chai will go insane once she finds out the lawyer erred again since she's been had by this lawyer over/over again! the chairman's latest episode is getting monotonous all together! i wonder how he's gg to treat Lucia after he finds out about tae kyung's real identity, after all TK is the real owner of this company! whewww

z Nov 11 2025 4:38 am how many time MDS admitted to hospital and being kidnapped over and over again. Please end this drama soon, I’m so tired to watch it, can’t wait for the ending.

V G Nov 10 2025 5:05 pm Honestly Madame Jung is confusing me. She's seen all the evil those two have done. Including forging documentation yet she believed one DNA test result right off the bat? Just wild but the big reveal will be worth this redundant storyline in the end.

Jinjoo Nov 06 2025 11:04 pm Just finished ep 97 n I can't wait for the nxt one! Kyung Chae and the lawyer are both evil! So greedy for position but I thinke se ri in spite of what she'd done to Lucia's dtr is seemingly more sane than the others in the family! Wow that housekeeper is something else I can't stand standing wonder how long chairman min doowill be in coma?

Jamse Nov 06 2025 8:40 pm Does anyone really believe that, no mater what she thinks, Yeon Sook would turn on her allies with such venom and pleasure, and not show a hint of remorse or regret for doing it? That’s why this drama struggles with credibility.

Chingu Nov 05 2025 12:12 am How can Madam Jang easily trusted Min Kyung Chae and Atty Kim Sun Jae to do the DNA test when they can easily manipulate the result? Duhhh! She should have done the DNA test herself with the help of his trusted bodyguard(right hand).

Jojomill Nov 04 2025 3:46 pm If it is a switched at birth situation, it had to be an accident. Both children were born healthy, so there would be no reason to switch them on purpose.

Jillibean Oct 31 2025 6:58 pm I watched the first two episodes because they were free but I am just not going to watch anything with over 100 episodes. Overkill! Lol

jinjoo Oct 30 2025 6:58 pm wow for a while i've never been hooked on kdrama again till now! this drama is just getting interesting each episode! i can't wait to see the next one although i'm quite tarry in watching this but managed to get updated from time to time! that character sun jae & kyung chae are both evil in every sense of the word! spoiler: i had a hunch when Chairman in that scene while having dinner just lost it & thereafter i had that feeling he was faking his dementia just to test his greedy children! woa i hope that sun jae will also go down with kyung chae eventually!

i think Seri has been wild before bec she was hungry for love, attention from a mother hence when Lucia came into her life regardless of Lucia's quest for revenge the young girl has been seemingly mellowed! i can't wait to see the nxt epi!

Dex Oct 30 2025 2:54 am @Gian Louis, a very interesting theory! That would be a nice twist. But if I were Sulhee, I would hate Kyungchae even more. Seri was raised with little love and attention. Kyungchae "protected" her when it served her interest. When it clashed with the company, Kyungchae always chose the company because she was aiming to be the Chairman. Kyungchae blames her father for "forcing" her to give up on the man she loves. but in reality, she chose the company over her 'love'. She could have walked away from the company.

Gian Louis Oct 25 2025 6:45 am SPOILERS: I have a theory that Se-Ri might actually be the daughter of Baek Sul-Hee and Kim Sun-Jae. It’s possible that Se-Ri could be Mi-So’s twin sister, or that there was a mix-up at the hospital—perhaps Baek Sul-Hee’s baby was swapped with Kyung-chae’s. What if Kyung-chae’s baby died, and Manager Gong, out of desperation or deceit, switched the babies? There are some intriguing connections that suggest this theory. For instance, Se-Ri and Baek Sul-Hee share the same shrimp allergy, and both Se-Ri and Kim Sun-Jae are left-handed, which could be a subtle hint that they are related.

Elaine Oct 23 2025 11:43 am Why are they only showing 3-4 epipods a week when it suppose to be 5days a week, just dragging this on and as usual why the bad guys keep doing bad, while the good guys are left trying to keep up?

Chris Oct 22 2025 9:41 pm Writing is frustrating even for a Kdrama. Why hasn’t lawyer boy been fired? Or after kidnapping and imprisoning the chairman, shouldn’t he be bound and gagged somewhere, beaten to a pulp? He is a killer himself after all.

Dex Oct 06 2025 9:49 am I hope wicked Kyeongchae's evil spawn is not Yeongsook's grandchild. That would be very cruel.

Cha Seo Bo Oct 04 2025 1:50 am I'm sorry, but I've had it with the FL - especially in how she treats Butler Kong - who I see as the least evil of the bad guys, loyal to a fault perhaps, but the most powerless of them and yet getting the most direct hateful abuse and suffering the most mental suffering. FL sure can pick on the weaker party! Selfish and devious as she is, I actually like Kyeong Chae better than FL at this point and am actually rooting for Kyeong Chae to hold off FL in some way (though I know it won't end that way of course) particularly in defending Butler Kong!

Ellen White Sep 30 2025 10:51 am I Love the villain : Yoon Ah-Jung <3

Jamse Sep 26 2025 12:40 am SPOILERS

As I said before this show is dragging and now getting stupid. In the competition to choose a random product for the home shopping competition, Knowing that Kyong Chae and Sun Jae will sabotage them and cheat, they assign the task of putting the choices in a container to the idiot Chairman’s son who leaves the box out in the open, unprotected, and it didn’t occur to the good guys to protect it or even look at it? Or challenge the gloating bad guys by showing that all the choices in the box were the same so that Lucia would have to choose the product she has a severe allergy to? And not know in advance they’d rig the contest results Can this drama get any dumber?

Cha Seo Bo Sep 17 2025 10:03 pm I think FL, while entitled to her revenge, should become a nun to repent her methods, though I do understand her thought of the necessity in the face of power and money. Sorry ML on your love line!

Dex Sep 11 2025 5:34 am I agree that Seo Ha-Jun is a great actor. He is also very easy on the eyes!

The housekeeper (with the fancy title of "manager") is a bit strange. For some reason, she seems to favour wicked Kyeong Chae and her evil spawn.

jinjoo Sep 09 2025 4:32 pm wow I'm happy to see Seo ha jun again in a drama since Secret House, one of my fave K actors! I'm late in joining the drama but I'm able to catch up, can't wait to see the next!

Cha Seo Bo Sep 04 2025 11:57 am A bit disturbed about how FL is sadistically abusing Butler Kong, who seems to be just loyal to her "family' right or wrong, but is less obviously deservingly bad like the Min family members. Hope something emerges to show Butler Kong receiving this disgusting treatment justified under FL using evil to fight eviil fight fire with fire is the theme here.

Mel Sep 01 2025 9:51 pm @oberen, yes, I am sure Se Ri will go nuts when she finds out the truth about her parentage. She haughtily said she was the daughter of the chairman but now she knows she's the illegitimate granddaughter. And Gramps and Mummy thought of her as a Dirty Secret to be kept from the world! haha, lovely!

The perfect revenge for Mi So would be Se Ri finding this out. She then goes on a rampage. On her way to Kyeong Chae's office, she bumps into Boram. She beats her to a pulp! There are passersby but nobody goes to Boram's help. It will take Boram months to recover!

Se Ri encounters Kyeong Chae just outside the building as Mummy was about the leave the building. There are staff, passers-by, journalists & cameramen (there was a media event earlier). She yells at Kyeong Chae that she knows that Kyeong Chae is her biological Mum. haha, priceless. She also yells out other misdeeds of Kyeong Chae, Gramps :). The share price goes deep south the next day and the company goes into receivership!

oberen Aug 31 2025 12:38 am Se Ri will get a mental breakdown when she finds out who her real parents are and how she was born out of wedlock. She’ll realise too late that the insults she heaped on Mi So would rebound back to her.

As for Seol Hee although I don’t approve of her methods of seeking revenge I can see why she did it. There’s few options for her even the law cannot aid her in this as she is up against a rich family with a legal team led by her ex-boyfriend who was a former prosecutor

Les Aug 29 2025 11:54 pm I will stop watching this drama from this point. Became trash. A woman will stoop so low to marry & sleep with this man just to get her revenge? Sell yourself to get revenge? Is the revenge worth losing your soul? You think you can continue to be a good person when you are so obsessed with revenge to the point you prostitute yourself? She has become a worthless person and the drama is not worth my time.

Jajang Aug 28 2025 8:15 pm Is baek sol hee aka Lucia will marry that Mingang chairman?? Same plot with that drama the third marriage?? If they are going to recycle the story at least find another actor.. same actor, same drama plot.. -_-

Mumma Bear Aug 23 2025 6:40 pm @Jamse I think Butler Kong arrived when KC and JS were babies and continued to look after them when their Mum died.

Jamse Aug 20 2025 2:14 pm SPOILERS

How much do you want to bet that Butler Kong is really Kyeong-Chae’s mother and Se-Ri’s grandmother?

Mel Aug 19 2025 12:26 am kyeong-chae covers up every wrong that Seri does. Out of self-love and preservation. In the end, I hope KC is severely punished along with her daughter Seri.

Mumma Bear Aug 11 2025 7:30 pm This drama is on my watch list and I was hoping to leave at least 7 episodes to binge watch but nope broke that rule and am watching daily. I'm enjoying the story and am keen to see this through to the end whatever the outcome. Go Jang Sin Young!

Jinjoo Aug 07 2025 1:29 pm Woa I didn't realize till today that my fave K actor Seo-ha Jun has this new drama, however this looks violent drama? Hmm I'll check this out soon!

Chingu Jul 24 2025 9:55 pm That brat Seri is Stella Jung’s grand daughter omg

Ahjumma Jul 24 2025 8:41 pm Seri’s character is very annoying. She is always angry and her voice is very irritating. And she is very old looking for her character which is highschool student. She looks like 30ish years old.

Jamse Jul 19 2025 11:39 pm This drama will eventually become good, but right now it’s not surprisingly dragging. It will be nothing but filler until the big reveal. I mean, how many times can the younger sister deliver takeout food?

But it will get interesting

SPOILER

Once Seoul Hee’s ally and patron Yong Sook finds out that the murderous Se-Ri is her granddaughter.

Elaine Jun 26 2025 12:07 pm @James I think you are correct, that kyeong-chae is Se-Ri mom and believe the chairman may let her be his daughter instead his daughter who not married. Also I too truly feel Se-Ri do not get off for what she have done. I don't know why those children of rich people think they should treat others who are not rich any way they please and should be punished if they do mistreat another Human Being.

Jamse Jun 12 2025 4:22 pm It's going to be a long haul for this drama, but

SPOILERS

That murderous little psychopath Se-Ri had better not get redemption at the end, no matter how much she whines about not knowing her Mom. Who obviously is Kyeong Chae.

Yellowstrat Jun 04 2025 9:29 pm Finally a long term drama for LUDA…

Mumma Bear Jun 03 2025 7:06 pm Really made my day to see Jang Shin Young return to mainstream drama and so looking forward to this drama! Thank you for this best news this month for sure.

Jillibean May 28 2025 12:16 am I've loved Jang Shin Young since the days of Rebirth-Next. I will definitely be watching this one, even though honestly I DO get a little tired of revenge themes in Korean dramas. Maybe this one will surpass that typical plot devices of that genre and surprise me and be better. :)

Mark Joseph May 21 2025 10:29 am Yoon Ah Jung is back as the villain character in K-Daily Soap Opera Drama waiting for 10 years. Jang Shin Young is back as the main leading actress waiting for 13 years. I missed her K-Daily Drama entitled "Flower of Revenge".

Jajang May 10 2025 10:27 pm Those two guys again in Two sisters?
