Wow! This is surprisingly good (so far). I've passed this by for a while now because of the synopsis but I'm glad I gave it a chance. Can't wait to see what happens next!!
Dropped this after 2 episodes, did not like anything about it. Glad it was not our first Asian drama or we would…
I got into one of those terrible loops where you keep hoping it gets better whilst trying to skip past all the worst bits. I can't believe I got that far with it.
Brilliant! Total nonsense where the laws of space, time, physics and common sense mean nothing. Hysterically funny in all the wrong places. I hope they can keep it going.
Taken me a week to get to episode two of this. It looks great and is slickly done but it isn't grabbing me. I'll leave it and come back to it in a month or two.
I finally got round to giving this a go and managed up to episode 6 before I needed to take a break (or drop it?). Two main problems so far: !) most of the people are horrible. 2) there is little to no chemistry between any of the leads
And really 2 is the worst problem. You know you have a problem when the relationship between the main leads mothers is far more convincing and heart warming than theirs. I did really appreciate the asking for her phone number in LAX scene, definitely a 'well done. my dear!' moment.
The typical female lead in current K-dramas is usually an unfeminine mean woman with narcissistic traits who treats…
"The typical female lead in current K-dramas is usually an unfeminine mean woman with narcissistic traits who treats others like s***, especially men" Examples please, I'm curious to see if we agree.
Lee Yoo Ri has such a versatile face, it changes so much from expression to expression. I keep getting those Bom Bom Bom! moments though. Surprisingly enjoyable so far.
Tried this but it got too annoying too quick. Murder method too random, cops too stupid and incapable of following procedure, caricature police woman. Not for me.
Well, perhaps not surprisingly, this isn't my bag. Serial killer programs are rarely something I enjoy watching as they often disguise lazy writing. Here the thriller parts are overdone, plenty of long drawn out moments, will he won't he stuff and suspenseful music with little substance. For all the twists and turns it's all just a bit too glib, a bit too designed to thrill. Though they did their best to stick a 'different' twist on it all.
The leads act well and on the whole are ably supported, so if you like this sort of thriller give it a go. It you want something a little more cerebral try Nobody Knows. Dropped.
Uhh, I really can't stand the female lead, if she wasn't happy with her boyfriend of four years she should have…
I'm with you on this - I started a rewatch recently and I'm struggling with her courting the ML whilst still going out with her boyfriend who is still talking about marriage. I get that life isn't cut and dried, that things can take you by surprise etc. but when you realise you want to break up with your partner and see someone else then that is what you should do. Full stop.
RANT Alert! If you ever find someone lying unconscious especially after a fall or car accident etc. please do not lift them up, shake them and slap them whilst shouting "wake up! wake up!". It only ends well in KDrama Land!
Please use DR ABC - Danger - is there any to the casualty or yourself? Response-Does the casualty respond to touch or noise. Airways- are they open and clear? Breathing-are they breathing? If not resuscitate them, then- Circulation- check for bleeding.
If you think the casualty is unconscious due to impact try not to move them if at all possible. Broken bones can cause massive, even fatal damage if moved around. In the case of the spine or the skull it can cause life altering injuries.
Sorry but it bugs me every time I see that particular trope.
I am with you on the first three and the last one. I also find accidental kisses a rather ridiculous cliche used…
Number 2 and THIS ^ are my pet hates. If the only reason a the FL likes the JERK ML is because he's handsome and rich then I end up disliking them both. Accidental kisses? There's artistic licence and then there's 'that absolutely never ever happens', it just puts me off.
So this is OK if you like episodic dramas about court cases (all dealt with in a quite twee way). All the actors do a reasonable job and the plots are fine in a not too heavy way. Not my bag though so I dropped it half way through.
Whilst agreeing that sexual harassment is wrong whatever the gender of the perpetrator and the victim, I'm not sure if the examples you give prove the point you are trying to make. The bit with Lee Elijah unbuttoning her shirt etc. 'you are 10cm away from being the same' was to make a point about a specific person rather than a seduction. Hence the repeated comments about 10cm separating 'him' from 'them'. She didn't do it to anyone else. The Market again was making a point and, though they never made it clear how much, at least some of it was a put up job (the Aunties). It also had Grandma coming out and remonstrating with them. It was then pointed out that whilst embarrassing and intimidating (thus making it sexual harassment by most legal definitions) it lacked the true menace that a lot of sexual harassment towards women contains, they reminded us of that with the female associate having to tag along with the football fans to avoid the thugs at the end of the episode. As well as the lingering PTSD of Oh Reum's character Having said all that I thought the bit with the cleaning lady in the loo was completely out of the loop and wrong to the point of arrest. Also as you say the reversal of the roles is too often used as comic relief which normalises rather than criticises the behaviour, which is again wrong.
