Anything else could happen in this series but if Makiko and Junichi end up together, it's getting a <5. Makiko…
Just because too long a wait for next week just add a bit more here. This is a dark mystery jdrama, not a romcom. Chance for such jdrama genre to have a happily after ending for the 2 leads is next to zero, irrespective what one wish for. Fate already stopped them from being together 23 years ago, and another linked murder, plus a gf now seems the 2 first loves again destined never to be together (likely opposite in kdrama). Bittersweet will be the usual ending.
Nara definitely set a trap for Makiko. She wants to lure Makiko out with the gun. She is a good police officer…
Quite a few not liking her here. But she is a super smart detective, pretty much like Hercule Poirot. Basically none of the 4 is giving her any truth nor help. She actually very kind as well and acting like the 'third person' watching over the 4 friends. If this dark drama has any ending other than sad ending (most likely bittersweet as this is a jdrama) she will be the only driving force.
What puzzles me is that Makiko doesn’t seem to have a strong enough motive to commit such a crime. Even if her…
Yes. But I am not convinced at all why Junichi covering his shooting of the robber in the first place. He was underaged for any criminal responsibility. And hiding the gun? But of course there is no more story otherwise. And his character hole seems to be his honesty even though he is my favourite character. That also posted a hinderance to the investigation of the current murder.
Everyone has focused more on who killed Naoto's brother, completely forgetting that 30 million yen were stolen…
You are on points. The old officer has been shown quite a few times without much reason. Everything shown in this drama has a reason. Also you has given more reasons for Makiko's son could be the killer. And Junichi's gf has visited the saloon meeting or tried to meet Makiko a few times. Why? Lots of twists and turns to come which are unpredictable. Next episode: will Makiko bring the gun to confess - my key interest.
Until now, I can't forget the friend zone moment between Gong Ju A and Yang Hyeon Bin lol! 🤣 They haven't admitted…
Watching this weekender because of this couple the main leads. And found them so attractive right from ep 1. Not too often big name stars in weekenders
So, who took the stolen 30 million yen that the robber who was shot in the forest had with him? Any guesses?
Very good point. Did the robber had a partner? Money is always cause of murder in movies and dramas? If Junichi not the killer it will be like the ending in Saving My Stupid Youth.
I owe Seong-gyu an apology. I was yelling at him when I thought he did the most stupid thing in the history of…
Same feeling. But given the tiny screen time of TJ in ep 8 there is really no further indication of which way it will go. And remember he broke into Connect right in front of the IT expert', and anything suspicious would not escape the IT expert's eyes. Without his help can any one else be capable enough to beat Connect? So judgement reserved.
Another very enjoyable episode. Every word every scene is emotional. Very surprised Nara keeping the secret for Junichi so her main focus is the current murder. I have a different take on Makiko (probably from my male's perspective hopefully not offending the rest here). In this episode Nara likely has setup a trap telling Makiko that Junichi might not be the killer 23 years ago but need the gun to prove it (no idea if a lie or truth). Hearing Junichi so painful, still suffering from his guilt, likely Makiko has retrieved the gun and will confess next episode with the gun, and hoping to prove Junichi is not the killer 23 years ago. She is prepared to go to prison and would still lie if her son actually the killer as no way she would allow her son from harm/hurting. Visiting Keisuke was to ask him to look after their son in future. Purely my speculation. Ok Soap Central on ep 7 recap has similar take on Nara tempting Makiko to bring her the gun
According to Soap Central the Japanese broadcaster TV Asahi would only release ep 8 on March 10th but Netflix will release ep 8 on March 4th (Australia)
MDL only lists official genres and only 4… the main 4. If you put romance as a main genre here, that will mislead…
Exactly. With only 5 episodes to go this is the key of the whole drama. If TJ is not Yeon Woo Jin I would think he is certainly villains. But is it too much for Sin Jae, the heroine of the drama, already surrounded by bad characters, to fall for another bad guy?
