Every episode is also longer than 1 hour. Noppity, nope 😅

Thought about giving this a try but then I saw the number of episodes. Hell no, I ain't got time for this.

Probably next year.

Good drama overall, but nothing really special. Dunno why all the raving. Is it because it's good in comparison with the other crap dramas we've gotten this year?
Main problem with it that it was like One Dollar Lawyer - silly lighthearted action in the first part, seriously dark and depressing in the second part. Dissonant, uneven writing.
I'm glad there will be season 2 though, I hope they'll return to lighthearted, funny episodes, but with good writing from second part of season 1.

They sure are inconsistent with their sentences in kdramas. In some a character goes to jail for 15 years for murder. Here they gave the brother life sentence. And him murdering ML's mother, even if it could have been prosecuted which it couldn't due to stature of limitations, would have had lesser sentence because he was a minor at that time.
Another thing of note - ML should have been removed from the investigation of the last two cases, because they involved his family.
And lastly, not firing a guy who's been absent from work for a long time without authorization is some fantasy or chaebol bribery at work here for sure.

The last episode's not out yet.

His mother brainwashed him and he loves his mother.

There's something there, but you can't classify it as romance yet.
ML has some feelings towards FL because he definitely got jealous of Park Joon Young character. He even asked him whether he and FL were dating and was relieved they weren't. Maybe he'll start pursuing her in season 2, but with events going on in season 1 later half it's just not the right time, ML has a personal crisis.
And FL seems to care about ML as well as a friend at least. But it's too early to tell if there's anything else. Her mother sure would like for them to get closer though, she's had matrimonial plans about ML since he moved to the house next door 🤣.
But anyway, if you're looking for romance here maybe wait until season 2.

With how fast they film drams it could be 2025. I think it will mainly depend on the actors schedule.

It looked like he was older, 14 maybe. And child killer would not be unheard of. Usually happens because of mistreatment by parents, but some are natural born psycho killers with normal families. Here I'd say the mother was 100% to blame for everything.

Well, this got really dark in the last couple of episodes. I hope ML mother's death will be resolved in season 1 though, I'd like to see new stories in season 2. And I think earlier episodes where ML was goofing off and it was more lighthearted were more fun to watch, even though writing quality got way better only in the later half.

Her father's problem had nothing to do with chaebols though, it's just her character being biased and mistrustful.

They're literally living on a volcano, with frequent earthquakes followed by tsunamis, surviving apocalypses is part of their culture.
That's why, btw, it is said they value community and duty above individual desires. A selfish individual would not survive these calamities. They need each other to rebuild what is being frequently destroyed. Paraphrasing Mariko, they can't control these outside forces and face them on a regular basis, hence this indifferent attitude towards death.
And they take pride in working as a community to overcome these calamities. That's why, for example, it was said that during Fukushima power plant clean-up they didn't want outsiders help.

I wonder how they made it. Sure, the background was CGI, but up close where people got swallowed by the landslide? I hope there will be BTS about it.

Yes, check the news.

She'll eventually warm up to ML after he helps the team a lot. Just gotta watch some more.

Do we though? It wasn't because of some trauma caused by chaebols. She just has bias against them.
In the end, she simply warmed up to ML after him being helpful a lot and accepted him into the team.

I dunno, the step mother denied it was that guy. She said it was somebody else. But she could have been lying, of course, cuz she's a lying bish.

Where are you watching it? Where I've seen it subs were ok.

I'm thinking maybe ML's brother is the son of said unknown party. Step mother was talking about some business man (?) guy, unless of course she was lying and it secretly was the butler, lol.
So maybe that's what the premise will be for season 2? Revenge on that third party?
Personally, I'd like this whole mother murder case to be made simple and to end in season 1. Ain't nobody got time to watch this case being investigated for whooping 4 seasons.
