WHAT THE F@#$K HAPPENED TO THIS DRAMA??
I am beyond disappointed with Season 3 -- I am literally RAGING at how poorly written it was and how consistently bad the show became with every passing episode. I thought about dropping the drama entirely early into the season; but as the car wreck became worse and more laughable, I was too invested to stop. I would watch the episodes and then vent on here because talking to others who felt the same way provided me the entertainment that the season lacked.
Season 1-2 where quite enjoyable to watch and the S2 finale had me so excited for the show's return. But whatever Phoebe did this season DID NOT WORK. The season 2 finale had endless opportunities to make S3 interesting. How would Songwon and Seo Ban fall in love? Would she realize that Sahyeon was just a man child and fall in love with Ban while tutoring him Chinese? Was that why Sahyeon marries Ami in the S2 finale? To get back at Songwon by marrying her friend? Also would Ban be up for raising Songwon's baby from another man so that he could get a family? And then there was Piyoung & Dongma... I was so excited to see how they were going to date too. Would Gabin dump him and then he meets Piyoung? I was not expecting the lame storyline of Dongma falling in love her Piyoung's scream WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT???? Or him dumping his fiancee while she is grieving the death of her parents for another woman. Seriously the way that Piyoung & Dongma got together was super weird and awkward. Yes, they may have chemistry but their rushed and forced romance did not sit right with me. And don't even get me started on Ban and Sieun. While I am happy that she has found someone better than the asshole professor, the way that the relationship between Ban and Sieun progressed made me super fucking uncomfortable. Yes, it's cute that she was his first crush at school but CHILL DUDE, you can date her for more than two times before proposing to her. I found their whirlwind marriage a joke. A woman who has been divorced, especially because she was cheated on, surely would take more time getting to know the man that she was dating, rather than getting engaged after a handful of dates. Like Sieun wasn't even ready for him to meet her children yet and Ban was already buying her the ring. Look I love Ban, I think he's a great guy and a great catch. Sieun deserves happiness the most, imo, but I cannot get behind how the writer literally set up the mistresses having better slow burn and developed relationships than the wives. The romances that started in this season, should've progressed slowly so that by season 4, these couples were marrying and then I would not have a problem with how they got together at all. Another quick thing, both romances between Ban x Sieun and Dongma x Piyoung feel like they are being BOUGHT because the brothers are super rich. Both women are not working and have been reduced to housewives. It's like these brothers flashed a little bit of cash and these women were smitten by their new lifestyles.
What was the point of killing off Songwon?????? I bet this wasn't even decided at the S2 finale but something the writer did to shock us? I really don't get WHY they killed her off if she was going to roam around for the entire season???? I was never really a fan of hers and but killing her off when she just got the baby that she always wanted was just fucking cruel. I really started to hate her character again once she possesed Hyeryung. Say what you want about Hyeryung as a character, but she deserved better than having her ex husband's dead mistress controlling her body. That was disgusting. Also speaking of Hyeryung WHAT was the point in making her pregnant and then making her suffer a miscarriage. How fucking cruel is that?? Especially since she has always been told that she cannot have kids. I really do not like how fucking Sieun WHO IS 50 and Piyoung WHO IS 41 are both pregnant but no, let's let Hyeryung lose her baby (and husband AGAIN, since he will marry Ami soon)
Sigh, the quality of the drama overall dropped quickly. And I don't just mean in terms of the plot/script but also in:
-ACTING:
new Dongmi did not have the same sexiness or allure as the old one. It felt like a new character entirely.
new Sahyeon, -while I prefer him to Sunghoon- barely spoke any lines in the first 5-6 episodes.
I didn't mind the new Yushin (he was definitely the BEST out of the recasts) but I still miss the old one (he was so SEXY)
-QUALITY OF THE SETS:
the houses, especially Yushin's home looked so cheap this season. Don't believe me, go back to Season 2 and check it out for yourself. Dongmi's room looked UGLY AF . It looked like a room a teenager would have, not that of a 60 year old woman.
PLOT/SCRIPT:
I think it's pretty self-explanatory that the original fans of this show did not enjoy the rushed story lines, forced romances or ghosts plots. The new couples of the show had the potential to become great, if they were properly developed. How the ex-husbands and the mistresses had more developed romances over the last two season will always make my blood boil. Also the way that they reduced these STRONG women into just playing rich and pampered house wives is appalling.
Anyways, the season finale was such a joke. Another cliffhanger? The wedding of Songwon and Seo Ban circulating again?? Do they marry as ghosts????? Also that scene with Sahyeon and Ami in the bath tub when we have not even seen them interact once aside from the S2 wedding that never happened?????
The show is definitely going to get a S4 but at this point, I don't know if I want to watch it. I'm invested and I want closure but after the shit show that this season was, is it even worth the torture????
Finally, here are MY predictions for S4:
1) BOTH Seo brothers die :
-Dongma in the ambulance (as shown already)
-Ban in the car accident (he went to answer the phone and crashes)
When Chairman Seo hears the news about his sons, he also dies.
2) Yushin will dump Ami when he learns that Dongma is dead and then he will reunite with Piyoung and raise her and Dongma's baby.
3) Ami will then fall in love with Sahyeon because she will want to make Yushin jealous.
4) Seo Ban and Songwon will marry as ghosts and then find peace together.
5) Dongmi will try and seduce Mr Pan, I think that's the woman who ill try to "snatch away the man" that the ghost baby was warning Sahyeon's mum about . It could work if Chairman Seo is dead, and Dongmi is no longer talking to Yushin since he had her committed. She will need someone rich to leech off. All this is, ONLY if she manages to get out of the mental house.
6) Sieun's ex will try to weasel his way back into her life but she will blatantly refuse him and raise Ban's child (or twins) by herself.
7) Gabin gives me depressed vibes so she either moves overseas or kills herself but she is not getting back with the professor because she shut that shit down last episode.
What are your predictions??
