I don't understand the Korean language per se but from the way she was treated in the mother's home is like out outsider/a guest, while it is obvious that they treat her sister-in-law differently is what hit me the most

2022-04-08 09:34:52 +0000 UTCI understand your point of view very well, and I also think that "betrayal" (in all its forms) is one of the most horrible and cowardly things. But on the other hand I manage to feel a minimum of "sympathy" for her, who lives in a cultural landscape very different from mine. I started to feel this way after the second viewing of My Mister, because the words that Dong Hoon's mother sometimes utters about her daughter-in-law (and which I think still reflect Korean marriage culture) started to affect me deeply and make me rethink the whole story.

2022-04-08 09:15:55 +0000 UTCThank you for articulating this so well — that’s exactly how I feel. I do *understand* it but I can’t get past that I don’t condone it, so I end up unsympathetic. My hang up is always that there is another decision you could have made. Bored? Unhappy? In love with someone else? Leave. Betrayal is so much worse than having someone leave. The choice she made could have only ended one way, and how three people are miserable… omg I’m getting angry just thinking about it. LOL! Argh. Lee Ji-ah is too good at her job that she makes me this mad!

2022-04-07 20:12:58 +0000 UTCI feel sorry for her, especially when she cried at the wardrobe, but then I just think “you did this to yourself” and it all goes away. I feel worse about the fact that I really like Lee Ji-ah and I’m being super hard on her 🥲 She puts me in tough-love mode

2022-04-07 20:07:45 +0000 UTCI love Lee Ji-ah as well because of Sea of Hope… which says how much I hate cheating that I’ve somehow looked past how much I love her to how much I hate what she’s doing 😬 I’m a biiiiit tough on this subject lol (she’s doing an incredible job, though)

2022-04-07 20:05:45 +0000 UTCActually Lee Jim ah is my favorite character in drama Penthouse. I kind of having same feeling with Storm has with her. It is like the tug of war in my mind.

2022-04-07 17:56:43 +0000 UTCEveryone in this drama somehow get different failures I their life. However there are weak supports are growing up between those people carry the baggage of basic desires , and that makes this drama getting better and attractive. I feel like to go into this drama and give a big hug to vulnerable yet powerful Jin An.

2022-04-07 17:43:56 +0000 UTCi know there should be no sympathy with the wife but i just love Lee Ji ah bc of dramas like the penthouse etc, so in my head im like excusing her 😭 i cant seperate her character from the actress so i always am like doing mental cartwheels to sympathize with her lmaooo

2022-04-07 16:22:40 +0000 UTCAnother reason that I like this drama, every main character has a background story. I know there is no sympathy with the cheating wife, same feeling here, but I can see the reason behind why she has made this mistake in her life. Too bad it doesn't change the fact what she did was wrong and it hurts so many people.

2022-04-07 11:39:37 +0000 UTCYes it is! It just occurred to me that everyone’s tweeting times were off — I was confused because I forgot our clocks changed on Sunday and now I have no idea what time it is anywhere (except that I’m now 1 hour ahead of Korea instead of 2) Everything is now 1 hour later is it? Good to know, thank you!
