Royally Flabbergasted !!
I’d like to start of by saying that I was genuinely and happily enjoying this show up until ep 20. After YK had the accident which resulted in amnesia, I was fine because hey what’s a kdrama without amnesia? WRONG! from that point on the plot felt dragged out and became a bit boring and stressful to watch on weekends. Especially when the double amnesia scenario was brought on which made no sense because all the writers creativity went out the window too. Next is that the title of the show is Young Lady and Gentleman, not crazy lady and gentleman. Sa Ra keeps getting more scenes than any of the other main actors.Her story could have easily been cut short after the engagement was called off. What I’m still trying to understand is how can YK be portrayed as this well rounded person yet when some one like SR steps in he believes all her bs. This ahjumma’s bs can be smelt a mile away yet YK is a fool for her. And the way DD is portrayed as weak and easily swayed it’s just frustrating to watch
** CAUTION!! To any drama lover I suggest you avoid this writers dramas. Always listen and read comments on the writers before to see what others say. I for sure won’t ever watch anything written by this writer.

Legal Rommates
THRC was “supposed” to be a story about a upcoming star instructor who got pregnant and entered into a marriage contract with a guy and later they fall in love. 100% of everyone who tuned in to this expected that kind of story. Instead we got a rising young instructor who gets pregnant enters into a marriage contract and then becomes the second lead because her baby daddy and his nonexistent issues came first.This show had potential. If only the writer hadn’t gone and smoked that cheap ass pot or whatever it is they smoke. To come up with one of the most stupid nonsensical stories ever. So many storylines were started and like magic they abracadabraed out of existence.
Examples:
-Yeon Doo’s career before and after the baby
-The shared baby between her uncle and TaeKyungs brother & sister-in-law (shaman’s vision)
-SeJin’s revenge on the Gong family for making her family feel like shit
- SooKyum’s mom’s absence for majority of her life
- BongNim and SeJin’s dad possible romance
- The weird resemblance of YuMyeong’s ex Jay and DongWook which was extremely weird I might add
ummmmm I think I’m forgetting something else……what is it?????Oh yes!! The relationship/chemistry between Yeon Doo and Taekyung.
It very clear that this writer caught some form of amnesia or writers stroke cause they clearly opened more plot lines than a DC Comic TV series and forgot to close them.
Another thing that got on my nerve was that as a writer you’re supposed to not be biased and not have favorite’s. Clearly this writer missed Writer’s 101 class. That wretched character Kim JunHa became the main lead over night and everything that was done worked in his favor. With the way he was written you’d think this writer hated happy endings.
As the weeks went by TRHC went from a show that solved problems by episode 2 or 3 to a show that dragged issues out for the next 5-10 episodes then solve then either 2 minutes into the show or right before it ends.
And don’t get me started on the lack of chemistry between the main leads. Their marriage progressed from fake to real and only stayed real on paper. For the entire series they were roommates. The most intimacy they’ve had can be counted on one hand. You’d think that for a show based around fake marriage there’ll be loads of lovey dovey I’m falling for you stuff.
I’ve seen my fair share of weekend dramas and honestly after YLAG (Young Lady and Gentleman) I’d sworn off them. But I’ll rather take the amnesia plot lines in YLAG than this crap show. The only character that I liked was Haneul. She made the show better.
To any future watchers of this circus freak of a mess show…..please I beg of you with everything that exist DO NOT watch this show! Even if you’re curious pick any show…better yet take a deep dive into the comments and you’ll see for yourself what I mean. We all hated it with a passion.

Definitely not something you'd expect in a regular drama!
Honestly my first reaction when I reads the synopsis for this drama was...….. WTF!!!!!??? Why? Because I've watched tons of drama and they've never been this direct and on the nose before. Especially one that is centered around high school kids. Other than that I really love the drama cause it realistically speaks on what any hs kid goes through/will go through. Having passed through this myself and looking back as adult I can laugh because even though some of the stuff are exaggerated for comedic purposes (like being able to see super long distance clearly when you quit masturbation for just a mere 5 days lol). I'm looking forward to this drama the acting is good. Storyline is interesting and the characters are fun. Definitely will recommendEsta resenha foi útil para você?

Comfort Drama with a box of tissues!!!
I love love love this drama so much and will forever be in my top 10 favorite dramas, top 5 dramas to recommend and top 5 drama to re-watch!!!With tears in my eyes I can genuinely say Twenty-five Twenty One, became my forever comfort drama! Every episode left me happy and always wanting more even though I will also occasionally shed tears. I found solace in each and every character and the storyline. And don't get me started on the ost... I just can't get enough of it! Especially Your Existence by Wonstein. I've had that song on replay and every time I cry as if I've not listened to it a hundred times already. The friendships, romantic relationships and familial relationships just struck a chord with me. Especially Hee Do and Yu Rim's friendship. It really captured how we sometimes go from enemies to friends and being able to laugh at your past selves seeing how childish you were in the moment. I love all the characters but there was something about Ji Seung Wan that really made me fall in love with her.
But on a serious note why did it end like that? I get that it' realistic and things like that happen in life but still my heart was shattered to pieces. Plus I have so many unanswered questions....like who is MinChae's father? Are they still in contact with each other? etc... And the ending credit...ugh...when the security code question said, 'who is your first love? And YiJin type Na Hee Do, I jut started crying all over again. Because when she get her lost diary, the monologue she gives when revisiting the tunnel, just shows that they both have some regret on how they handled things in their relationships. And YiJin's answer for the security code jut shows that Hee Do was and will forever be his first love and him hers.
It' sad to see this amazing show end and I keep on crying just thinking about HeeJin endgame. Thank you for being my comfort/happy place these pat weeks.

Success then Failure.....what next?
First off, I'd start by saying this drama pulls at your heart-strings and really opens your eyes to certain things we as fans would want/like to turn a blind eye to. At the end of each episode, my heart breaks more and more for K-pop idols/soloists and every other artist. Yes! This drama has some funny laughable moments, but it also has its serious, heartbreaking, tear-jerking heavy topics moments where you can't help but either cry or get really upset.There were moments when as a viewer, I'd be screaming at Je Na to just give up on L and Hyun Ji and just focus on the members who actually are show they care. Then I realize that everyone copes with failure and that sense of not being able to amount to something in a different way. Watching this drama, as a member of the K-pop fandom, it has given me a new perspective. I always thought I was empathetic enough toward idols; but this show has made me realize that I'm far from it.
First of it dives into what it's like to live as a failure after dedicating almost half of your life toward a dream that thousands of others are fighting for a chance to get. It then dives into how you try to fight to break out of the box you've been 'put' in after not becoming the success you and countless others dreamed of. While facing a company who's ready to give up on you, people always reminding you that you've failed and you can never make it back on top, your fans abandoning you and members on a verge of a breakdown because...let's face it the light at the end of the tunnel is basically non-existent. It really conveys the pain, struggle, pressure etc.. every idol has to face/go through. For those that end up becoming failed forgotten idols and those on the verge of or have already disbanded, the feeling that you have to live with always questioning whether or not wasting your prime on chasing a dream that seems futile was worth it. And to those that do make it in the harsh world of K-pop. the sense of loss when you question who the real you is and whether you're doing this because you love it, or that sense of passion has vanished and is now replaced with obligation because it feels as if your life isn't really yours to live anymore.
This drama has given me a new found appreciation for all idols out there, and help me as a fan to see them as humans and not some 'merchandise' that's solely created for my entertainment.

Brainwashing & indoctrinating
Watching and hearing all these victims stories made me so sick to my stomach. I’ve never wanted to kill somebody so much before in my life.I’m a christian and what that sick twisted bastard did/is doing is far cry from what the Bible talks about. He used his own selfish, sick, vile, disgusting needs to lure these innocent young women and trick them into thinking that they were doing something “good” for God. Moreover his prime targets in the beginning was young people(men and women) who were going to university because they’re malleable. I know this cause I was once apart of a church that I grew up in which preyed on young people. Especially those who were in high school and university. And what they did was isolate you from your family and friends and make the people in the church become your everything. And all of this was done to control you. Thank goodness I left before they could’ve done some severe damage.
What baffled me was how this devil incarnate of a man only got 10 years. In the documentary one of the former members said, “that Jeong Myeong-seok’s goal was to sleep with 10,000 women. And he claimed to have come close to that.” Well if that’s the case he should be given a sentence for each of the women he raped and sexually assaulted. Cause that’s exactly what he deserves!
What sickens me is the fact that man is still roaming and he has brainwashed people into fighting in his behalf. I hope one day someone just poisons his water or castrates him. Cause that what a filthy dog like him deserves

A Virtuous Show….?
I promised an update after this show ended so here it goes.Character Breakdown
Han Jeong Suk a compelling character with a journey that captures resilience and growth. Starting as a wife married to an unreliable husband, she eventually discovers his infidelity and courageously ends the toxic relationship. Her transition into the lingerie business marks a bold turning point, showcasing her strength and independence. The friendships she builds along the way add depth to her character and emphasize the importance of support networks. However, the addition of a romantic subplot feels misplaced. While there’s nothing wrong with her finding love again, it detracts from the more empowering narrative of her focusing on her business and son. Overall, Han Jeong Suk shines as a character, but the writing could have leaned more into her personal and professional development without the romance.
Kim Do Hyeon is a character whose impact on the story feels minimal, neither enhancing nor detracting from the main plot. His inclusion in the show seems more like a filler than a necessity, as the narrative would have progressed just as well without him. The subplot about his childhood abduction feels out of place and overly convoluted, adding little value to the overall storyline. While giving him a backstory is understandable, a simpler approach such as him being a police officer transferred to the countryside due to resource shortages would have sufficed and kept the focus on the central themes & characters of the show.
O Geum Hui is a standout character whose journey offers a refreshing take on transformation and empowerment. Coming from a posh, educated background and transitioning from city life to being a countryside housewife and then venturing into the lingerie business was an inspired choice by the writers. Her storyline provides a clever way to explore rebellion and self-discovery, highlighting her boldness in unexpected ways. Her character adds depth to the group dynamic, emphasizing how a shared goal can unite women from diverse backgrounds. The balance she brings to the friendship circle is both compelling and heartwarming, making her an essential part of the story’s charm.
Seo Yeong Bok is a fascinating character who brings a unique perspective to the story. Despite being uneducated and living a typical countryside life, she breaks the mold by being open-minded and adventurous, which sets her apart from the traditional portrayal of women in her setting. As the breadwinner of her family, she defies the norms of her time, showcasing a resilience and strength that make her highly relatable and admirable. Her encouragement of Jeong Suk to stay in the lingerie business meeting highlights her role as a motivator and catalyst for change. Seo Yeong Bok’s character not only reflects the struggles of women in her era but also their capacity to adapt and thrive despite societal expectations.
Lee Ju Ri is a bold and multifaceted character who brings a modern and rebellious energy to the story. As a young single mother running a seemingly successful hair salon, her decision to enter the lingerie business despite its taboo reputation underscores her courage and determination to challenge societal norms. Already a “social anomaly” due to her teenage motherhood and provocative fashion choices, she stands out as someone unapologetically true to herself. Despite the generational gap between her and the other women, her seamless integration into their group highlights the universal nature of shared goals and mutual respect. Lee Ju Ri’s character enriches the narrative by showcasing how differences in age and background can be bridged through solidarity and friendship.
Um Dae Geum is undeniably an oddball, and his addition to the story feels out of place, especially as a love interest for Ju Ri. Her character, as initially established, thrives independently, content with her life as a single mother. Introducing Dae Geum undermines that dynamic, as Ju Ri didn’t need a romantic partner to complete her arc. His portrayal as a filial, naïve, and gullible young man seems intended to create contrast with Ju Ri’s bold and self-assured persona. While this pairing might work in a lighthearted drama, it feels forced and unnecessary.
Interestingly, Dae Geum’s character traits his innocence combined with an unsettling naivety could indeed have lent themselves to a darker twist if the story had leaned into a more serious tone. With subtle tweaks, he has all the makings of an unsettling character, and the dynamic with Ju Ri might have been more compelling if it had explored darker or more complex psychological layers. As it stands, however, his role feels more like filler than a meaningful contribution to the narrative.
My Thoughts!
A missed opportunity in the story was the lack of exploration of Jeong Suk’s best friend’s affair and its fallout. The revelation that her friend was sleeping with her husband and later becoming pregnant with what was likely his child was a deeply personal and dramatic twist that could have added layers to Jeong Suk’s journey. This subplot had the potential to delve into themes of betrayal, forgiveness, and self-reinvention, perfectly aligning with the central narrative of the four women and their lingerie business.
Instead of the unrelated and somewhat jarring subplot of the police officer’s childhood abduction, the show could have used this betrayal to deepen Jeong Suk’s character development. Her friend’s role could have served as a constant reminder of her struggle, while also being a driving force behind her determination to succeed independently. It would have tied directly to the story’s central themes of women finding strength in adversity and building something for themselves. Exploring this angle would have kept the narrative focused and more emotionally resonant while enriching Jeong Suk’s storyline.
A Virtuous Business is a standout drama that shines in its portrayal of women’s lives, challenges, and triumphs. While it isn’t without flaws, the show’s focus on women from diverse backgrounds and the dynamics of their friendship sets it apart from the typical romance-driven narratives we often see. The way the drama takes us on their journey through struggles, growth, and moments of joy feels authentic and heartfelt, with characters written in a way that is both relatable and empathetic, even if you can’t directly identify with their experiences.
However, the inclusion of Do Hyeon’s childhood abduction subplot feels unnecessary and detracts from the otherwise tightly-knit story. It introduces an element of mystery/crime that doesn’t quite fit the tone of the show. Similarly, Ju Ri’s hasty romance arc feels forced and disrupts the character’s strong, independent narrative that was already perfectly established.
Despite these missteps, A Virtuous Business excels at centering women’s stories and exploring their individuality, solidarity, and resilience. It’s refreshing to have a drama where the heart of the story is about women’s lives and connections, not just their romantic pursuits. With a bit of trimming of the less relevant subplots, this drama could have been perfect.

A Big CONFUSION!!!
What a waste of 106 minutes!!!!This movie was confusing from start till finish. I have so much I want to pick at…but I’ll keep this short and sweet.
The plot was weak as hell. Nothing made sense and the way it was put together made it even more confusing. Nothing in this movie flowed each scene will have you more confused that the last one.
There were side characters that never added any substance to the film or the main characters. Theyvwere just there to exist and nothing else. No side stories were formed for us to get to know or connect with them. It was already hard enough connecting with the main characters and then we get a shitty side characters too.
AND THE ENDING…..?????? What kind of weird and confusing ending was that?! It gave no conclusion whatsoever and rather left you wonder what the heck did I watch. I’m all for open endings but this one was next level. It’s not clear whether it’s they got together again or if this was memories they both shared during their “relationship”
Overall this movie is a waste of time and will have you confused from start to finish. If you want to go ahead watch it in 2x speed.
Good luck! You’ll need it.

Misplaced Connection ?……
You have to accept the fact that you’re the villain in someone else’s story!The storyline was okay. Wasn’t to bad and had some droplets of comedy here and there. Overall most moments were flabbergasting.
Mae (FL): she had a serious case on internalized victimization, self loathing, selfishness and obsessive behavior. Everything centered around her and how she felt. Everyon was in the wrong and to blame. That was some toxic a** behavior. At first I was confused seeing her ex always appear till I realized she’s holding on to his memory. That “missed connection” she was experiencing with Norman (ML) was all fabricated in her head. The guy literally told her he wasn’t interested. But she heard, “Yes you have a chance.” You’d thing after she saw him with the girl at the bar she’d take a hint or two and leave it be. One of the most toxic things she did I hated was her fixating on ML and then go to every length to be with him. Because in her sick head she was perfect for him. Her issue was she needed to love herself and stop trying to find that validation in guys. Like her aunt said, “forcing things hurts more than leaving them alone.”
Norman(ML): I believe he should’ve not befriended her and set some clear cut boundaries. FL (Mae) kept pushing the limit cause although he said he wasn’t interested his behavior and things he did made her delulu behind think there’s hope.
Her coming to a realization that loving herself and be okay with being single was perfectly fine was my favorite part. Wish it had happened sooner tho. Seeing her delete that dumb app and making amends with her ex was great.
Overall if you’re looking for a fuller movie to watch you can watch this. I fairly enjoyed it and found it okay to sit through. Regardless of my rating for it, the show is alright

Tomorrow Will Come... Eventually!
What a beautifully written show! At first when I heard about this show, I was very skeptical. Since its a show about suicide and as someone who snuffers from depression/anxiety and is a suicide survivor, I thought it would be a huge trigger for me, and with such a sensitive and somewhat taboo topic; they won't be able to dive into the nitty gritty aspects/details and struggles we go through. And boy was I wrong!!This show did nothing but shed light on what victims go through. And the different stories/topic touched upon was perfectly executed. I cried in some, laughed in some and even felt the anger and pain of the victim too. Being I've been there and know what it' like. I also loved how the really made it know that for a person to reach the point where they believe death is the only option, it' because they've done all they can to fix/move on from the situation and cried for help but nothing has worked. And to get to the place where death is the 'perfect escape' from whatever hell-hole their in isn't an easy decision you just wake up and choose. Trust me I know. I've been down that road more times than I 'd like to admit and I'm glad I'm still alive to tell my story.
The fact that the name is 'Tomorrow' was just a reminder even though today might feel bleak, and you don't know whether or not you have the strength to keep going, just hold on because tomorrow always comes. It may take a while but it comes eventually and tomorrow will always be better than today. But even if it isn't still fight for tomorrow because you never know what it has in store for you.
As heavy of a topic this show was, it was written beautifully and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Rewatchable and Fun!
Hats off to all the actors, producers, writers and every member of the crew team. I couldn’t stop laughing and totally enjoyed the movie from beginning to end. All the actors did super well even Sehun who barely had lines and stood in a corner at times was still entertaining to see. The fight scenes were good and the comedic parts were just perfect. Really loved the use of cgi with the animals and fire etc… really brought the entire thing to life. This is definitely something you can sit and watch with your entire family and enjoy hands onEsta resenha foi útil para você?

Definite Must Watch!!
First off, hats off to the producers, writers, crew & actors of this show!!! I definitely hundred percent enjoyed myself while watching this( finished it in 2 days cause it was this good).Firstly Geu-Ru's character was portrayed perfectly and so well that you'd think the actor himself is someone familiar with Asperger's syndrome. As someone who has a cousin that's on the autistic scale and has similar traits that Geu-Ru portrayed it felt so heartwarming to see that the time and research had gone into being able to capture the essence of what it's like for people who love with it.
At the beginning when his uncle came to be his guardian, I was pissed at how inconsiderate he was towards Geu-Ru, but as time goes on I loved how he slowly warmed up to him and became even more fond of him. Also the relationship between his older brother and him, even though he'd died, towards ep 7-9 you saw how he got the closure he needed. Loving all his life thinking his brother abandoned him when in reality he got hurt the day he was to come and had been looking for him since. That struck a chord with me.
Next of Na-Mu. She was one heck of a friend. It's not a lot of people who'd willingly make that extra effort and time to befriend people like Geu-Ru. And the fact she liked him and had the patience to still stick by his side and watch out for him, showed how much she cared deeply and would protect him.
MY only dislike is the ending. Netflix is notorious for those cliffhanger endings but I never expected it to happen with a show like this. Yes the ending was nice, but the way it closes off like the storyline can be continued. It never ended in a finalized way. Meaning there are opportunities for it to be continued. However I went online and looked to see if there's a season 2, or talks about a second season hopefully and there weren't any. Over all it's a great show

WOW….Just WOW!!!
Been in a kdrama slump for a year now and this show brought me out of it!The pacing and way everything just unfolds is so satisfying and consistent. I’ve seen so many shows that start out this way and just fumble it all halfway into the show. But this drama is just consistent.
Each of the characters are intriguing and captivating. They’re basically onions?. They all have depth to them and are written so well. Just when you think you have the km figured out another thing comes along and your like “wait what!?” I didn’t expect that.
In a show like this having a 1 dimensional character works against it. Even characters that only show up for 1-2 episodes also have a certain level of depth to them. This just shows how good of a show it is
Jin Isoo at first glance seems like those rich chaebols we always see who have so much money no personality or common sense. As we get to know him, we realize his recklessness and nonchalant attitude is cause by many things.
1. his mothers death
2. life with his father & stepmom
3. knowing he’s an illegitimate child and having to compensate for that.
A character like his is so easy to write off and make him the same way we’ve grown accustomed to but they kept showing us who he truly is underneath that façade.
GangHyun she is a character! At first I hated her and the way she treated Isoo but soon realized she rarely trusted people because of what her dad experienced. She was just scarred and it didn’t help Isoo was also the way he was

We’re All Good Bad People!
One of the biggest things I learnt while watching this drama is we’re all good bad people when it comes to the people we love.Throughout the drama, I wondered why pigs? And then it finally hit me around episode 10. At the beginning we got a back story of pigs. They were never filthy animals we now know them to be. Pigs are actually quite clean. They do their business in one area and eat in another. It wasn’t until humans began confining them that they had no freedom to do such. Hence the filth. The only way a pig can see the sky is if it falls on its back. This was again repeated by Young Soon after Kang Ho got into his accident and was I rehabilitation mode. The comparison I made was Kang Honwas the pig. He lived a life only seeing what his mom laid out in front of him. Básica having tunnel vision. It wasn’t until his accident that he “fell on his back” like a pig and was able to see the bright blue sky.
Jin Young Soon
A dedicated daughter, wife, mother and friend. She had her shortcomings (don’t we all). At first I hate her character. The way she basically robbed Kang Ho of a childhood and pressured him into a career and life he never wanted pissed me off so bad?. It wasn’t until later episodes that I was like, “ahhhhhh….that’s why she so twisted and hell bent on certain things.”
From day 1 her life was filled with pain. Witnessing the death of her parents. Then her husband, watching her son get into an accident and then finally dying from stomach cancer??
Everything she did for her beloved son was deeply rooted in fear and love.
Fear - because she was scared to loose him the same way she lost everything she held so dear in her life. We see this clearly when Kang Ho never went on school trips. Gimbap are an essential snack on every school child’s trip. With Young Soon gimbap was basically a bad luck charm. She made it the morning of her family’s trip to her dad’s work picnic and they crashed then she made some for her husband and he ended murdered. So naturally a connection formed gimbap = death.
Love - Kang Ho was/is her pride and joy. She sacrificed all she could to make sure he never felt the absence of his dad. Granted she may have held on to him a bit to tightly, but this was only done because the thought of loosing him too would be devastating. Granted some of her ways of showing her love were unorthodox. But we love how we’re thought to right? And also life shapes the way we act and do certain things.
Her being a good bad mother in my interpretation was, she was a good mom because she loved and sacrificed everything to make sure he lol succeed in life. And a bad mother in the sense that she sometimes held on too tight and didn’t allow Kang Ho any chance to experience life in a sense. She wanted to be his shield always. That’s a good thing but also bad.
Kang Ho everything he did he did for his mom. As much as he may have had his dislike for her way of raising him, he always knew why she did it. He knew the driving force behind his mother’s absurd behavior and obsession with him becoming a prosecutor. He knew she didn’t want him to be like his father. Then when he got sick he knew she was making amends for what she cause him to go through as a child. Through it all he could’ve easily hated her but instead he kept loving her and even left clues incase anything should happen to him.
Their dynamic as mother and son was one of the best I’ve seen in dramas. Both Ran Mi Ran and Lee Do Hyun were perfectly casted for this role and pulled it off stupendously.
Now the villagers themselves ??well they sure are something. Their dynamic perfectly portrays a community turned family. At first they were hesitant when Young Soon moved in but later welcomed her with open arms. They were there for each other through the highs and lows. The perfect blend chemistry between each of the cast mates.
I loved how from beginning to end we never saw the village chiefs wife face?. This woman basically had an endlessly supply of face masks, scarves and hats to cover her face. At one point I wondered if she was getting over hydrated in the face. The finally we got a face reveal and a pregnancy announcement! And the story of her being a yakuza’s daughter actually was real.
The take down of Oh Tae Soo and Chairman Song was perfect. Honestly OTS is a scum of a human and father. The man really was something (also am I the only one who noticed that he never plays a good character in any dramas? He’s always some slim shady snakey dude). The 2 of them deserved what they got and I’m glad his daughter stepped up and exposed her dad even if it meant she also went to jail for being an accessory to his crime.
Episode 14 ended perfectly. Mi Joo and Kang Ho’s scene where he proposes with a pig, was exactly how his mom got proposed to. He even said the exact words and the pig also ran away?. And Sam Sik and his sticky fingers and heart on his sleeve self remained the same.
The one thing that stood out the most was the song Young Soon always played. Noticed how that was the song her dad had playing before the crash. The she had it as her ringtone. Despite the songs cheery lyrics it was a painful memory for her. Everyrime her phone rings she’s reminded of what she lost. But at her funeral when KH started singing, “I am happy, I am happy, I am happy…. I am very very happy.” In that moment, those words took on a new meaning. From being a constant remind of what she’d lost to becoming a song of hope and new beginning that shift was clear. Yes… it was being sung with tears in their eyes but you could clearly see it wa showing to be a song of all the good times. That was shown as Mr Bang sung that song, and our precious lettuce farms were singing quite jolly and drives the blush pink truck with “Happy Farm” boldly written on it.
We’re all good bad people. We love passionately and sometimes hold on too tightly in fear of what may happen. Omce in a while let’s be like pigs. Fall on your back and appreciate the bright blue sky and warm sun.

Su Ji and U Ri: A Lengthy Struggle Without Depth
My Thoughts:
To sum it up, Su Ji and U Ri lacked depth plain and simple. From the start, it felt like none of the characters were given enough layers to truly connect with the audience. Jin Soo Ji, the female lead, was a particularly disappointing portrayal. It was obvious from the get-go that the writer intended for her to be a “professional doormat,” a trope overused and frustrating in this case. Instead of showing growth or resilience in a meaningful way, Soo Ji simply existed to be torn down by everyone, especially by Na Young and Jang Yun Ja, the two villains. Eventually she does become happy but she still have those 2 access to her and always made herself readily available for whatever bs they would be up to.
Speaking of villains, Na Young, while introduced as the antagonist, was an utter disappointment in her arc. The show teased a strong motive for her actions—an inferiority complex that led her to sabotage Soo Ji—but the so-called redemption arc felt lazy and unearned. A “petty excuse” wrapped up her behavior, as if the writers suddenly decided to spare her from consequences. And Jang Yun Ja? She never got the punishment she deserved, neither for hurting Su Ji nor her mother. Typical Kdrama writer fashion—wrongs are often forgiven without proper justice.
Chae Woo Ri, the male lead, wasn’t much better. While his introduction suggested he would be this righteous, justice-driven character, he never really became more than a bland, two-dimensional lead. It’s a shame, given that the potential for a more dynamic and nuanced rivalry-turned-romance between him and Su Ji was there. But it just never took off.
If all that wasn’t enough, the drama dragged unnecessarily. At 128 episodes, this story could have easily been wrapped up in 50. Every episode after the 50th felt like filler, with pointless subplots like the relationship dynamic between Sun Young and the uncle. It was evident from the start that she had no romantic interest in him, yet the writer forced them together in the end, making their relationship feel painfully contrived.
The ending? It was just okay. After all the chaos and aimless character arcs, I didn’t expect much, and what we got was simply “good enough.” It wasn’t the grand conclusion I hoped for, but at least it was done.
Final Advice: If you’re thinking about watching Su Ji and U Ri, skip most of the fluff. Five minutes of the beginning, middle, and end of each episode will give you all you need. There’s no reason to waste time on the endless filler, and you’ll save yourself a lot of frustration in the process.
