yeah, I struggled again to finish the episode and I even did some FFing. I don't really have that much to comment. Before, the drama had a lot of humour and playfulness, that made it fun to watch but now it's all grim and serious. Ik the murder mystery was always a core part, but there was a nice balance imo with the lighter side. I'm also checked out since this kinda mystery plot has been done better in countless other shows. The evil pyscho, the handsome medical professional being a murderer, the red herrings, the diabolical monologues and the scene where heroes are on the verge of dying, etc. etc.
In terms of positives, I'm glad we finally have a clear timeline of what happened that day, since I was very confused on that score. Also the OST is so beautiful and effective. The acting by the ML and SML is also extremely good.
I'm sorry but I will keep harping on this bc it struck a chord with my broke ass. we've seen how much poverty sucks in this drama countless times lol. Poor man had to give up on his dreams because of debt and he even lost his father to the damned loan payments. No wonder he's so sensitive about money. Meanwhile, this super privileged cop just mocks him for being a money grubbing, miserly Grinch with 0 apology. My fav scene of this was when last EP. he told her his sad backstory and she was just like "damn that sucks bro 🙂" & moved on to another topic 💀💀
I'm ngl, I struggled to watch to the very end, and I could only power through because my friend told me there'd be major revelations. Too bad I literally knew the main villains like 6 episodes ago (as I'm sure everyone else did) T-T but credit where credit's due, at least one of my complaints were addressed - the characters are finally close to figuring out the true killer and the accomplice. So if i'm understanding this right, the doctor does the killing - lemme guess, all the childhood trauma made him into a sadistic psycho or he always was one - and the nurse covers it up for him... probably because she killed his abusive grandma and he's been holding it over her ever since.
What I'm confused about - either bc it's been too long since it was mentioned or they didn't do a good job of explaining - what was the sequence of events the day Youngmin's mom died and Hye-jin supposedly did. So I know that the mom was killed in a hit and run by the mysterious biker dude but apparently Hye-jin was picked up the biker and thrown in front of someone's house? was she hit over the head or something prior? was this ever explained and I just forgot? I'm so lost.
also, I hope they elaborate about the red herring nurse's sister and her drug addiction. my theory was that he stole all those drugs for her, thus making him a scapegoat for the villain. I guess it's not that important, but I'd like more info on that, for my own satisfaction lol.
Chanyoung is back with those swoony, romantic lines but this ship just ain't floating, sir. try as hard as you or that amazing OST song during the credits might.
I'm still into this drama but I miss the goofiness and humour of the early episodes, esp now that it's become a straight crime mystery story ft. ghosts. Plus, like the dramabeans reviewer pointed out, the characters are getting to the truth so slowly while we, the audience, already know everything.
Also, I'm sorry, but I'm not really a big fan of the romance, which is rare for me. Like, I'm all for noona romances, but there's still no chemistry between them at all, no matter how swoony Chanyoung is and how sweet his lines are; it feels really forced. Shoutout to the kiss scene last week tho... Bro really smooched the air. Imagine if anyone walked by at that time... 💀💀
I feel like a lot of things happened but also nothing did. The previews promised a big confrontation and comeuppance... but nothing of the sort came to pass. It felt like a very half hearted, cursory examination of what happened in the village on the part of the show. And tbh I don't really like the main case, it feels very gross towards immigrants, esp considering how immigrants, women and immigrant women are treated in SK already.
Hopefully, next week, we'll see how Sunghan actually take on evil Stepmom and her loyal dog. As usual, evil Stepmom made my blood boil. Hopefully, the ex MIL does team up with Sunghan, she seems to have atleast some morals.
It's cool that Seo-jin's character development do be happening and the case with the schizophrenic lady is progressing. I wish that got more time spent on it, it felt more interesting imo. We honestly barely got more than a brief sketch of that awful man was going to his wife.
Obviously Shunghan was being a bit obnoxious, but why did everyone laugh at the idea of him being a hottie lol? ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ "You know you're not that hot right?" 💀💀 Are we talking about the same man??
God i am so on edge for the confrontation between Shin and the woman who basically killed his sister 😬😬
EP. 7: that smile on Seo-jin's face when Sunghan walked in all suited up? It could either be that she's just happy for him... Or maybe she liked what she saw 😳😳 (pls let me ship them, ik nothing will happen)
I like how supportive and caring all the characters are. Obviously the sad ahjussis are always on call whenever someone is going through something, but the noodle shop lady is the MVP. I love how she comforts first Honggeun and now Seojin when she's going through a rough patch. Just a really good friend.
Also *everyone* at the Sunghan's office have a strong but quiet bond. Did anyone else notice how Saebom just slid some orange into Honggeun's mouth? And they're always joking and playing around. It'd a big difference from how cold and sterile the antagonists' firm is.
Speaking of the antagonists, God, I want Sunghan to wipe that smug smile off evil Stepmom and her henchman's faces so badly. And it's be so cool if the sister's ex-MIL also joined up with Sunghan. Hopefully this Vietnamese immigrant case will achieve both of these...
this was a genuinely funny, fluffy and cute drama with a lot of character development. the humour was amazing, and surprisingly adult for a jdrama. 8.5/10.
