After 8 episodes of slow paced, incredibly non organic, nuanced storytelling, I'm getting off to sleep. From Episode-8, this drama is without a relatable or decent character to ground the story, the constant scheming just feels exhausting. The writer makes the characters feel flat and frustratingly predictable especially the useless father, the greedy sister, the cold hearted mother who remains trapped in their worst behaviors without any redemption - a real dysfunctional family and it's viewers are subjected to a fatigue of absolute malice. This drama is MAKJANG - a pathetic plot relying on absurdly toxic family (all three families, Mu Jin's, Gyu-rim's and Seo-hyeon's) and endless family chaos. The verdict? Dragging and utterly boring! I'll definitely save my energy for Ji Hoon and Minha's The Remarried Empress due to air on November 4, 2026.
