By the end of the first episode I found I disliked pretty much every character in this show apart from Hye Yeong's mum and Jojo's bestie. I don't think I'll bother with any more.
I totally agree. I first watched this quite a while ago and didn't notice it the way I do now. What's your fave…
Not liking the ML is a problem there, I only have a 3 or 4 episodes to go so I might be able to cope. We'll see, I have many shows on my list that I almost finished before I couldn't take any more.

It's a bit difficult to say really as I find it very hard to finish most of her dramas - due to script and co-stars. 'Master's Sun' & 'Thank You' though the latter has plenty of cringe moments. I enjoyed 'The Greatest Love' first time round but found it more of a struggle on second watch - she really is treated terribly. 'Missing' was most enjoyable too. 'Pasta' - couldn't take the dreadful man-child ML 'Jealousy Incarnate' as above. 'When the Camelia Blooms' I almost finished but serial killers are meh! and I just didn't like the ML's character. GHJ is enough to make me give more chances to dramas but I still have my limits. She's fun when she's on Um Tube too.
I'm a big fan of Gong Hyo Jin but this ended up as another one of hers that I couldn't finish. The inappropriate physical contact was too much for me in the end, it just killed the 'romance' and thus my interest. Good review, thanks.
That's what my whole point is. We "normal" people believe that psychopaths don't feel emotions. But human psychology…
Totally agree on the don't have to be a serial killer most people with Anti-Social Personality disorders aren't of course. Human isn't defined by the condition of someone's mental health for that way lies Eugenics and we know how that turned out last century.
"They can live a normal life too, like everybody else" - nope, that's the whole point of the condition/diagnosis - they can't, even with treatment it's a really hard ask.
From the NHS UK website:-
"Evidence suggests behaviour can improve over time with therapy, even if core characteristics such as lack of empathy remain. "
Moon Chae Won is a favourite of mine, so I'm sure I'll have another go at it sooner or later. I'm not into serial killers but I'm up for a good romance.
I'm a bit confused by your review, if one of the protagonists is a psychopath surely that means they lack emotion, empathy and a conscience? So how then can they be "hurt like us(emotionally)"? and feel love and guilt. I mean they can be good at acting and manipulation but the whole point is they don't actually feel it. Am I misunderstanding your point? (I've not watched it because 'serial killer' is not my bag)
yeah and the extraordinary you crossover oofplus the major SLS too lmao
I might need some help translating this one into old fogey speak. oof = out of office? ouch? my youngest daughter says Roblox? SLS = ? lmao = laughing my ass off?
Arrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhh! Episode 6 where he puts the hot pan lid down on that enormous polished wood dining table! I mean, what sort of madness is this?? I mean just like WT actual F!! I know it's just a drama but you have to have some limits.
To play Devil's advocate I'm half way through ep. 3 and wondering about continuing. A fair number of tropes and…
I just struggled through ep. 5 and put it on hold for a while. I quite like her room mate and Dan Ah's secretary but I'm pretty meh about the rest of them. The dialogue isn't grabbing me either it just seems a bit trite. I'm glad you are still enjoying it, I might pick it up again in a couple of days to see if it was just me.

I think I'll run with @manicmuse's review.
