#but the thing is that the bulgarian dub has changed the title of the show - subtly but significantly - and it was clear from the start

This scene is emotionally touching but narratively it's absolutely atrocious.

#erda #og post #character: actual devil woman #why is she so upset about her daughter when no one is around if later we're going to find out that she hated the girl since she stole her? #make it make sense #why pretend if no one will see? #i do feel like they were initially intending to make her somewhat more complex and human but then they gave up #or more likely they were trying to give a fake reason to the viewers about why she's going to hate this new woman in her son-in-law's life #they wanted the viewers to think that she misses her daughter and doesn't want her to be replaced so that the reveal later #would be shocking when it turned out that she actually hates this new woman because on some level she can feel it's the girl she stole #that's probably why they're really playing up the angle of everyone thinking the mc is this other woman everyone is looking for #because they want you to think it's her and not the mc #but the thing is that the bulgarian dub has changed the title of the show - subtly but significantly - and it was clear from the start #what the twist is so to me this feels unnecessary #but i can see the writers going “hehehe we're gonna make everyone think the male lead is falling for the woman who kind of killed his wife” #“only to then turn around and reveal that she IS his wife” #but that effect was totally lost on me and the rest of the bulgarian audience bc they used the identity switch to market the thing here #lmao they said “the author is dead and there's enough other shit going on here to keep people interested even if we spoil the main twist” #anyway the scene in question still doesn't make sense bc there is no reason for the actual devil woman to pretend to be upset
