Hades

Might be because of blast cause temporary hearing problem not losing power.

BL mention now turned into Deuk Chan is brave, Deuk Chan is a criminal and cannot sympathize with him 'name of a love'.
Every criminals justifying their actions, Deuk Chan is one of them.

It's not protecting, it's controlling.His personal preferences or his unrequited love the other way of controlling the Do Ha just like Eom Ji. He just obsessive towards Do Ha same like Eom Ji, two of them harmed Do Ha in long term, that doesn't define two of them loved Do Ha,two selfish humans driven by narccist attitude.

More curious about 15 & 16 episodes, mystery is solved in ep 14 episode and Do Ha innocence officially proved, now he can walks freely without any mask or anything without fear. CEO is the culprit and the mastermind behind Eom ji murder.He is also like Do Ha,Deuk Chan is homosexual, that 's why he didn't care about his wife infidelity.
However, writer want to show any missing cards in upcoming episodes. Sol Hee ability disappeared in after blast???. Past episodes had some lags because of dragging mystery plot, writer didn't write mystery plot more interesting.

He is making mistakes, only a culprit know, the truth is unfold in any time. His desperation of this events occuring at infornt his eyes.Do Ha and Sol hee
Searching truth, all things not connected to his brother.
He doesn't show angst or angry any towards the wife, when he finds about his wife infidelity,but this Eom ji murder case Deuk Chan took different approach.

All suspicions pointing towards him and ML only needed an evidence and latest released video of a detective is behind him to stop suspicions and used as a weapon for Do Ha and his mom.

Deuk Chan is the prime suspect, something is missing pieces about Eom ji murder. Jae chan sudden turned himself also suspicious, he didn't know about his brother or his brother has any secrets from Jae chan didn't know about the murder night. Moreover, all the links ending at the Deuk Chan and his hidden motives.

Young woon and young Joo not in a deep relationship in this drama. Some feelings between them but not in a deeply way. Young woon marriage proposal young Joo not fully accepted but said wait for after the jin woo case. If their feelings strong between them Young Joo accepted after the case SML relationship, but not happened. Young Joo not accept him because of Jin woo, she seen jin woo as a brother and young woon appeared in her life after that, only small amount of time.

It's an oky okyish family drama. Oh yeon Doo, the character in the first introduced in the episodes has strong will and good character development,but it's gradually decreased by each episode , one of the worst main lead. Kim Joon Ha didn't get any punishment for his actions. The incompetent writer encourages that behaviour in every possible way.

TK received one weak characterization. He was weak as ever in compared to the first half of the episodes, second half of series the character deteriorated on an enormous level. He became a writer football, his character changed by the writer mood.

The writer how celebrates and encourages a kJH character behaviour,he aggressive and manipulative, a cheater, he is mostly fond of him. Justifying actions with zero punishment,. Also, Se Jin is added to this box.

An average family drama with a lot of unnecessary events. Some Gong family members get huge character development in each episode.Gong Yoo Myeong is one of the good characters in this series. She always has a positive side and a good character, but didn't get any proper attention and character development,other than a romantic track with YD Brother.YD Brother, nothing special about him. He is sometimes is same as his sister.

Writer how much whitewash or justifying Kim joon Ha toxicity, this writer too much encourages toxicity of a character without giving proper punishment. YD and KJH a coin two sides one toxicity and other one is selfishness, in a YD encourages that behaviour in KJH, writer makes YD character boneless and she fear a takes a stand against KJH. kJH biological father of her child but his actions doesn't justify that behaviour. KJH is also a cheater but YD didn't see that, writer is also likes toxicity justification.

Yes

Ho Gae and Seol ended up together hurdled the hardest situations and the time.

"The first responders" compare to two seasons Dex is the most underrated villian in this arc, he is powerful and manipulative committed more murders in Korea and USA.

Ho Gae and Seol romance moments in the final episode is good and their chemistry and their love and care between the even in the hardest situations they care for each other, not giving up their love for silly reasons and they passes together in that situations. Compare to some other k drama couples, this couple is different.Ho Gae and Seol relationship progression in S1 & S2 slowly and steadily without rushing things compare to Do Jin.It's not a romance based drama but leads value their relationship in hardest time and not giving each other and give strength eachother.

Overall, drama has unpredictable twist and turns, writer killed even one of the main lead Do jin. It's worth to watch and invest time.

In the end,it's all Kwon min ju figment of the imagination while after accident. Romance wise need to improvise especially ML and FL. ML cast not suitable for this drama, his visuals and dialogue and some romantic moments between the leads, Ahn Hyn Seop not fit into this drama. Moreover,1998 events are more appealing than 2023, 1998 creating a different vibe than 2023. Overall,Cast someone as ML it will be better.

This writer is high level psycho than Dex,not predictable.

Writer didn't like the main leads or want to die for his selfish thoughts. Writer feuds for main leads, First Do Jin (SmL), second Ho Gae(ML) and next Seol(FL) his crazy thoughts process to Main leads. He has empathy towards the antagonists,not the protogonists.
Who knows in EP 11 if Ho gae is actually dead or not!!

Why He soo referred as Bong seok "Inflexible and boring" in EP 14 while conversations with her father? He soo talking about her memory about mom with her father
She didn't saw any good quality in Bong seok other than this lame reference
Bong seok is like reliable friend and kind character...

Don't know final episode releasing tommorow, maybe a little bit chance, writer little bit simp towards the SML. He can do anything for whitewash SML.

SMl & FL end up together that weak narration of the story and incompetent move from the writer. Writer messed all potential of that leaning towards romance interest of SML & FL.
How SML getting away from that guilt, he didn't part of the murder but he is indirectly involved in it.

Deuk Chan now under the radar of Do Ha in the EP 13 preview, Sol Hee already knows he doesn't trust Do Ha. Do Ha didn't suspect him because of his shady behaviour. Deuk Chan used that innocence of the Do Ha and making a money machine of his entertainment company and his brother taking advantage of that secrecy threatening to make money.

Maybe he only needed money than her daughter.
