Title Stranger Spoiler
What a great drama, I didn't expect it to be so good. I have troubles with Korean names and faces (they are all the same, help! T_T), so I often get lost when there's so many characters. That's why at first I thought it was that teen prostitute who died, what a shocker episode later. Also my favorite character turned out to be the killer, , I was hoping until the end he wasn't the real culprit, but well. There comes The Korean "Snape", what a tragic character with toxic father-in-law and wife, he loved anyway. Definitely the heaviest thing, shame it was only in the last episode, but the scenario wasn't obvious, which made me recall "Angry Mom" drama, in which one of the main characters died suddenly as well - very unexpected and powerful moment. I only hated that damn rat, who should be in jail, but Shi Mok gave him the last chance.

Title Mother
Good, heavy cinematography. There's one thing I didn't like, though. The 6 months transition, which changed homeless teen bum Shuhei into host-like model (yet, he didn't work as such). Felt very out of place, he wasn't the type to change hairstyle like that, not to mention that necklace.

Wow! I didn't know this drama was hyped.. I mean, it wasn't on Netflix. Every time an episode aired, it wouldn't…
I mean rating on this site, it has over 9, one of the highest drama out there.

Atmosphere was ruined, because it was too melodramatic, despite good start. As for actors they just seemed unnatural at times, faces the accomplice was making for instance. Behavior of the journalist. But I think that generally Asian dramas has poor acting comparing to western shows, but Korea is not that bad as Japan at least. Plot-holes? Guy was looking for his wife, but when they finally found it she didn't even mentioned him and we never hear about him. I don't think if they even told the main hero that his father didn't commit suicide. Super intelligent and meticulous killer, yet he didn't checked if he killed the right person or even if he finished her.

I thought that husband is going to be a psycho or something, but it was just scenario manipulation. Same with the main antagonist, who came out of nowhere, despite he was supposed to be dead without all support devices. They first shown him as someone who cared to call for ambulance, true predator would never do that. It was revealed at the last moment what really happened, so it feels like very manipulative scenario.

Last episode seemed completely unnecessary it terms of losing memory and all those melodramatic dialogues. Overall too much comedy and romance, which spoiled dense atmosphere of psychological thriller I was hoping for.

Most over hyped drama out there, that's for sure. When I first read about it I though it has to be great. Waiting for it to end, then watch everything, especially with such high rating I was expecting something amazing. I was expecting Korean The Fall. What I got was at times fun, but silly, full of plot-holes scenario with very poor acting and completely unnecessary epilogue. Entire atmosphere was ruined very fast, then scenario went on full emotional manipulation mode. I'm disappointed. This drama is 7/10 at best, but only if you ignore stupidity of scenario and pretend that last episode didn't happen.
On Misaeng: Incomplete Life Aug 11, 2020
I stopped watching after 8 episodes. Too boring and felt unrealistic to me. Sane person wouldn't work in such toxic and soul-crashing environment, siting entire days, with no personal/family life and with no time left for hobbies, except Sundays. I guess that's only possible in South Korea, where there is one of the highest suicide rate. I would rather have stayed at delivery jobs, being poor than working like that.

Title Zekkyou Spoiler
Ending should have been concluded with the violet sky. Why that police officer would even go there? I understand that Yoko wanted to be found, so she stayed close, but somehow I don't feel satisfied with it.

Dark drama, painful to watch in a good way. Shows the lonely and brutal society, in which if you want to survive you have to become brutal yourself.

Title Class of Lies Spoiler
I think that Beom Jim's killer is society, some kind of symbol of ostracism, but fact that no one cared about it was strange. Overall the last two episodes felt extremely rushed. They had long 16 episodes, we knew about culprit way before, so I don't understand why waiting until end then rush everything in a very poor way. Shame. Despite great soundtrack, disappointing drama. Disappointing, because could be much better with a proper execution.

It has nothing to do with PPD, but gaslightning, at least for the abusive husbands and mothers of main heroines. The rest is just about problems of women (not only as mothers) in conservative Japanese society (inferiority complex due to abuse or gender inequality).
