tbh I found it pretty realistic. In real life people in similar situations often also sort of plunge into buying expensive things first

for me this is one of the best dramas released this year.
I'm enjoying it immensely.

coz screenwriter.
Signal was immensely successful but it was one of her first dramas. And she did say in an interview that it was an enormous responsibility to fulfil expectations.
So she focused instead on Kingdom and then Jirisan. And kingdom was also extremely successful. So maybe that strengthened her belief in herself?
Though Jirisan wasn't as crazily well received, especially by the Signal fandom. (Not surprising tbh, it is nearly the same sort just done in a different drama XD)

Watcher from 2019
reminded me a lot of Signal.

probably coz they announced s2 right after s1 ended. And then they kept us hanging XD it was always => next year, next year, next year
then the screenwriter said she'd do a historic one before going back to Signal. Which was kingdom. And then the fandom was sort of disappointed when she did Jirisan instead of going back to Signal.
And thennnnnn it was already like 5 years later and we gave up all hope.

cliffhanger.
Still you should definitely give it a try. There is a reason why it got redone by nearly all asian countries ;)
It's just absolutely amazing

yeah I was also wondering about the last part.
I love IU and she is an amazing singer/actress
but, people rarely do this without a bigger reason. Otherwise this would be the norm and not the exception.
Did everyone that took part in the drama receive the gift card? Or was it only a selected few?
Because a film team does cover around 100 people rather fast. Do all the camera crews, lightening, sound, editors, cutters, music team, make-up, logististics, writers, directors , etc. get that voucher? Coz then she basically did the drama for free or came out net negative.
But maybe she really did make such a large surplus?
I don't know......it gives a weird aftertaste

okay that looks actually like a lot of fun!
And I genuinely love that the cast is olderish.

maybe she had something to do with him investing in the crypto currency where they lost all their money. Her brother seems to be someone that would be involved in money fraud. So she might have been the one to lure the husband into investing into something her brother did and feels now guilty? Tries to make amends? Tries to get more money out of them?
I dont know but she gives me such bad vibes.

the young police guy with the kid and the wife and the huge house debt?
Coz that one is who I suspect

he is really nailing this character to the T. Absolutely amazing.

yeah true I do wish that for them too. Especially since life seemed to have deal both James and FL really hard. They deserve some happy new start.

hahaha
tbh in Chinese dramas they'd 100% get jailed. But korean dramas dont always have that scenario where you'd get punished for doing something wrong.
I've watched the other dramas done by this screenwriter and they aren't following this scenario completely either. Eg. Lie Within (Which is very very similar)

same and it is pancreas cancer. Either way he will die.
If they would have given him a chance at survival they'd have picked a different type of cancer.

Walking on thin Ice is soooo GOOD!!!!!!
For a thriller/crime/serious drama fan like moi, this is honestly one of the best dramas of this year so far.

yeah but see what gives me red flags is the story of the husband investing all in crypto. I don't buy it fully. I do think there is an additional motive for him to have spend so much money.

I do like the drama but I also love Goblin ever since 2016 when it first aired. And I do love Kim woo bin and Suzy both equally and I did love Uncontrollably Fond.
So I would say, not all :) Don't worry.
Goblin has had a special place in my heart for the past 10 years. That won't change just because one drama gathered more or less attention since then.

especially with such stellar acting! And they truly do have a great chemistry. Romantic or not romantic, doesn't truly matter.
When 2 characters just work so well together ? Ohhhhhh its the absolute best!

its a Korean drama. Prison must not be the ending. Other, similar dramas didn't always end with a character going to prison and being punished for their deeds. Some do live happily ever after in a far away country. So my guess is that something similar will happen to the FL and her daughter.
The husband and the best friend give me bad vibes. There is surely gonna be a twist, that reveal their shady side.
I'm not so sure about the faith of the ML. He does gives me sort of tragic ending vibes.

probably from the controversy she was involved with.
