Thank you for your kind comment and explanation. I particularly enjoy these types of series because of their themes, so my priority is the script. Therefore, poorly crafted scripts lead to extra disappointment due to my high expectations. Because if I'm watching a thriller/mystery/crime series, I want my brain to be challenged, to get lost in the intricacies of the script. If that doesn't happen, it doesn't inspire admiration. That's a sensitivity I have towards this genre. As you said, I evaluate others from different perspectives. Also, I liked the cinematography they used to create a realistic atmosphere here. While it wasn't a direct compliment, I implicitly meant that. But watching this genre, no matter how good the other elements are, with a script I find lacking in subtlety is difficult for me. Still, I'll finish it anyway since it's short. I hope you continue to enjoy it.

It's a truly striking subject, exactly the kind of drama I'd be drawn to, in terms of the moral and ethical dilemmas it explores. But it's full of nonsense. Did you think that the moral argument would make all the other nonsense invisible? For example, how is it impossible to identify someone unless they've been burned or chemically treated with a substance like acid – and from what I can see, there are still usable parts of DNA – in the year 2026? DNA is being extracted from fossils from a million years ago to determine species, etc. Okay, let's say it was an oversight. But how can you talk about the intention to kill the person you hit after the trial? Are you going to court without reviewing the case file? You know how they discuss beforehand what kind of counter-argument they'll use in each situation? And what about the prosecution, which has a huge advantage in the case of a serial killer who confessed to killing 17 people, being afraid of the lawyer? I laughed so hard. I think they should quit being prosecutors. Also, is one treatment effective in 6 completely different cases? Statisticians and researchers are crying. The worst part is that the treatment can be applied to everything. Did a dead fish come back to life? Okay, so we're watching a fantastic production then. Hi Frankie. You've also used cold tones and things like that to make it feel realistic, but the argument isn't presented realistically at all. This beautiful subject is becoming difficult to watch because of such nonsense. It's a disappointment, like The Defects.

Yes, I watch a lot of K-dramas, but if I'm spending time browsing through comments, it means I've found something in that drama. And this is exactly that. I'm eagerly awaiting next week. I believe there's a misunderstanding, a quick judgment, behind that surprising ending. That's why it's so hard to wait for clarification.
After Albert, my favorite character in the team is Mr. Lee. They're so innocent. But what if Yehppee turns out to be Mr. Lee? That would be interesting. I also like Mr. Bang. Actually, I still think his mystery hasn't been fully solved and there's still a possibility he's one of us.

I really liked the roommates and Hong's team. They're so quirky and fun. It's also great that we're chasing something. I'm very curious about both Yepphe's identity and who created the chaos in the room. Ah, Albert, my sweetie pie. I hope you never get sad. I was surprised by the harsh criticism the actor playing ML received.

Dear MDL admins,
Lately I've seen so many horizontal posters that I have to bend my head to understand them. I can't ask them to design the posters vertically (and who could I ask anyway?) and besides, they look so beautiful this way. Could you perhaps make the poster layout adjustable? I haven't used the site in a long time, but apart from content updates, I don't see any page layout changes.

With these ratings, they need to film a new season. Rainbow Taxi has become like family to me. It is difficult to get used to their absence

not the first.

Blood, sweat (water) and tears .

There's an inconsistency between Yun Su's initial character and her later one. She went from a very relaxed person to a fearful one, then suddenly became intelligent and courageous again. If we're not calling Mo Eun a psychopath for her story and actions in the final episodes, why did she act like a psychopath when killing the couple? It's clearly the first script, unfortunately. There were very obvious and absurd mistakes, especially in the first half. Also, the messages were very direct (see: the prosecutor's speech in the finale). And I don't even want to talk about the couple who donated the painting. Were they misunderstood, and was their only intention an apology? I thought we would figure out what kind of benefit they would get in return for the painting. I don't know, should this have been the reward for the points? Because I found it careless.

References were only available in the first 30 minutes.

What do you mean, are they both being transported in the same vehicle?

I haven’t even gotten halfway through the first episode yet, but it’s giving major Decision to Leave vibes.

In my opinion, it was a very nice, sweet drama about two seemingly ordinary characters, their hidden fears and anxieties in their worlds, and how they find courage and grow. Let me clarify a few things. Why did I say ordinary (note: according to the K-drama universe)? Because they aren't characters who are either extremely rich but have family trauma, or extremely poor but are hardworking and determined, always in difficult situations and in need of a prince's help. And because they don't fit any rom-com clichés, they are ordinary. But that's what I liked most about this series. Secondly, they don't have excessive gestures or actions to impress each other. In fact, they don't even care about impressing each other. They're just trying to return to the versions of themselves they know they can be. So they're not in a world of superficial, artificial problems solved by love and viewed through rose-tinted glasses. They are real characters and in a real world. At least, that's how it felt to me. Yes, sometimes FL acts very annoyingly, but I can understand. She's just a character with fears, so she pushes ML away. And ML, because she actually knows FL very well, tries to help her heal. One thing I didn't like, which I need to explain, was the lawyer scenes I don't want to mention; they were difficult to watch. Another was the constant time and distance jumps in the later episodes.
So, if you're a bit grounded and enjoy dramas in the "life" genre, you might give it a try. It's not a show to be trashed; in fact, it's quite original among the many shows that are all the same in this universe. You'll only have trouble with the pacing and the annoying characters if you're not patient. After so much magical realism, pure realism was a welcome change.

I think that could be the case for the first couple. But I personally want the second couple to end up together and happy, even if it’s difficult.

I finished episode 12. If you're on earlier episodes, there might be spoilers. A lot was revealed in the last week.
A prophecy leads the Queen Mother to accuse the queen of adultery.
The Left Minister, who is in love with the queen, personally brings her poison and makes her drink it. However, the queen does not die, and the Left Minister hides this truth.
Seeking revenge, the Left Minister initiates the events of the Gyesa Year. He overthrows the reigning king and installs the current king on the throne. To force the current king to accept the coronation, the Left Minister threatens him with his son and makes an agreement so that the coup appears to have been carried out under the king’s orders. As part of this process, the second prince is exiled.
Much later, the FL encounters the falsely accused queen alive on the mountain, but at the time she is unable to understand the truth or fully recall what she witnessed. When the Left Minister learns that the FL has seen the queen, he panics. To eliminate her, he frames the FL for poisoning the ML’s mother with Jimjo Bird poison.
When the death sentence was given for FL, her assistant told her to flee. But if she fled, ML would come after her, even though she had killed his mother, and because that would be heartbreaking, she committed suicide in the river.
After that, as we already know, she was believed to be dead and later returned as Dal-i.
This is how I understood the events.

Yes, that's what I meant. I never thought they could do that. As a audience, I don't know which ending I'd prefer.

Was it the most heartbreaking case of all seasons in every aspect? I can't remember another case that destroying me this much.
Also, did they cross that line? I didn't understand, or I didn't think it was likely. I have mixed feelings.

The nanny wasn't in the final scene. We also never saw what happened to her. She killed Yohan's aunt and uncle before, but it was made to look like they died in the fire. Since Tae Jong wouldn't burn the house down, the nanny was the one who started the fire. And she saved her only psychopathic son, but he's presumed dead.
A small, disturbing detail: When TJ surrendered to save NYS, why was NYS released with just one word? They could have been accomplices. I understand the scenario got stuck at that point, but something else could have been found.
I liked the scriptwriter's habit of not killing good characters unnecessarily. It's the same in Taxi Driver. He only killed one character, but he was necessary for the prosecutor's attitude.

Oh, really. It’s not fair.

When he talked to the woman at the market, I had a feeling something like this would happen to him and that this would be the reason his friend joined the team. Necessary, but still a bit sad.
