Funny: she leaves the body next to the police station. So to forces ML to call her again.
She has no manners and starts to eat while they pray.
An interesting conflict and thematic: FL thinks all it needs is just punish villains. ML thinks a legal trial is important to know the truth.
A grumbly old woman interrupts them. Says one of them will die if they continue to date. Gosh... Is it "God", like in My Demon?
Pace of drama is slowing down now. A bit less comedy. Slice of life scene. Cops have diner at night.
New girl finds "J" a mysterious serial killer with 12 murders. I bet it's ML's parent killer. Well, it's almost confirmed.
Good detail exploited now. When she thrown the Zcola can. Maybe he could find her fingerprints on it. I don't remember the cleaning team took care of the can.
Now I am almost sure her assistant want to change camp. So going to heaven. It's why he was reading bible in secret.
A good idea for world building, I was hoping. The postman give a letter from heaven to the boy. So, there's not only Hell part acting on Earth, but also Heaven part.
Heartbeats, she makes the fatal error to fall in love. Looks like it's also a physical shock because she falls too. I presume she didn't expect falling in love would be against her own will, because she knows nothing about that. Then she faints in his arms, to make last scene romantic and dramatic.
A discussion give us everything we need, thanks to the new girl. If a demon feels emotion and love, Baal gives them a fate worst than death. Forbidden love! Problem: she could hear her heart beating. Also, the scene is funny.
No proof of murder? Wait, is it so hard to send a diver checks about the glue on the safety belt of the drowned car? It's something DaOn knows. Why he didn't do his job as a cop. plot-hole?
Child actor is talented, as it's often the case in kdramas.
Good idea to drive the car out of the lake. Then, sigh... slow-motion... PSH in badass mode... Oh here, a makjang slap! LOL, then a super-power SLAP! No plot-hole, well done, the glue was soluble in the water. Now the "Illusion punition". When she drowns, short flashbacks of her husband doing the same.
Here she has a good morality for a demon from hell: She never hurt children. I expected the drama doesn't use really bad people as protagonists. I prefer that. But at times, I had doubts. Also, it's not coherent with notions of good and evil from bible mythology. Somehow, kdrama rather uses of fantasy mix with their own mythology.
Glad to see torture/punishment scenes were a bit shorter. But it's still long, and a bit boring. Almost comedy: hell gate is in the Zcola drinks dispenser. Cleaning team time. The drama has reccurent moments giving it an identity.
I ended Ep3 only. I can just say it's the episode when the two character interactions become good. Before, ML was flat and underpowered, but now there is a common ground.
About the "Goal" gag, a nice trick here: It's re-used when the children pass, and she thumbs up.
Next, she knows the bible quite well. "The Bible was so hot and blinding. I had to wear firefighter gloves and welding goggles to read it." Good line absurdly funny.
I see that coming now: The killer of ML's parents will go into the story. Maybe the final judgment with lot of murders, what makes a high counts for FL. No idea yet if it will be a normal human killer or maybe someone with super-powers like a roaming demon. There could be a twist maybe?
I like how the ML is bold and can easely pisses off her. Now she's annoyed by this guy following her everywhere. Nice interactions. And when she makes a scene: he pull out the cross unexpectedly. lol!
Does it make sens she choose so low cases? There are many big criminals with dozen of murders.
Interesting trick: First time we see the car accident wasn't true. It was the POW of the wife murderer. Then we see the scene from POW of son later.
It's now the regular modus-operandi of the drama: As a judge, she always releases the criminal. Then comes back to kill them as a demon. I wonder if ML will see the execution.
Again, the villain is very caricatural and one dimensional. Well, should be said there isn't enough time to do that better. Then, there is something wrong if she lets the wife kills the son.
This episode was quite good, better than episode 2.
The scene with this new girl making fun of Judge's assistant is awful. Sounds like "girl power" in the worst way.
Except this point, there are a lot of funny scenes, like the one in the police station: She pretends he likes "that kind of thing" with handcuffs. Then next line: "It didn't go as far as putting a dog lead on me"
Some easy gags, but still ok, like kicking the ball and Goal! It's mostly it's done at the right moment, creating an absurd feeling.
Half episode is a new case, and we could see that coming: It's a procedural with each episode a new case. Kind of thing I don't like.
ML tried to contact her and he's a bit more bold now. What's a good point.
I can't be sure and need to read an interview if there is any, but from actress point of view, there two things that could interest her: - The script is good. I could find some flaws, but it's deep about character, psychology, and well made about details, metaphors and puzzle (way to convey information to let you understand by yourself). - It's a great challenge to act two different characters, and I guess they will have both lot of change during the drama, what is even more complicated.
I remember the actress for the famous comedy "Mr. Queen", what was also quite challenging because she first interprets a man in her, then the character change personnality gradually or at times.
Until now, I find Dear Hyeri nice to watch on air, because there is mystery, theory building from audience, or just a lot of points to guess, to understand. You can see here, sometimes we dig a lot about characters and psychology. It's a drama deep enough to talk about it from a week to the other.
After some reading, DID patients' alters that are based on real people in their lives are known as introjections.…
Interesting. Without much knowledge about DID, I just see it like that with general psychological one. Eun Ho is a single person, so the Hyeri in her is Eun Ho creation. Is it Introjection? Now, how Eun Ho created (not consciously) this other personnality: From memory of what was Hyeri, from the vision she had of her, but it's still Eun Ho. Hyeri is a missing part of Eun Ho. When Eun Ho got the trauma (Hyeri death probably), she obliterated a part of herself, making her an incomplete being. And this part of her is in Hyeri split-personnality. What's mysterious is Hyeri was like dead inside Eun Ho, and she's waking up now and need to grow.
I will say this just Once to whoever it may concern. This drama is nowhere similar to whatever the sh!t My Demon…
A bit early to say it, it's better in some points, but worst for other points. Then, the main problem of "My Demon" was mostly after episode 6 when it becomes an ultra boring sleepy drama.
I even posted an episode 2 live watching. But now, I consider it even outdated on some points. My brain had time to work more and understand points I couldn't then. Still some good insight. Well, I'm not humble to say that. But anyway, it's some work and you could read points you didn't see while watching. I could also study a bit symbolism used, in a later post.
No need to be angry. I just see that as script needs. Goal of fridge scene is to force Eun Ho to call Hyeon O.…
Something strange about the situation is how she gets the time to get drunk? Eun Ho goes to the truck, it's not far away. Then she's stuck in it but call as soon as she can. So in short, Min Young gets dead drunk in 10 minutes? Or she was drunk before Eun Ho goes to the truck. Really, she could put the other co-worker on that.
Also, I noticed what I call a plot-hole plaster: in the fridge, Eun Ho could call the co-worker instead of Min Young. But as it would destroy the goal of the scene, she has a monologue saying "oh I don't have the other people numbers". What plasters the plot-hole. But when you do that, it's a bit visible. This scene contains double plot forcing! Even Triple if you count the fact there must be a body, so she hides, so the docker closes the fridge and she can't escape.
It's the kind of thing you rant about when you don't like the drama, but don't care when you like it. Just amusing about storytelling tricks.😀
EPISODE 03 - p5. Starts with flashabck 5 years before. Previous one at start of ep2 was 6 years. It's a bit spy fantasy now, as Soo Ho is tracked by a secret service. AND is secret agent, training ground.
Nothing says when flashback ends, but we get it with the dialog in the bath. Yeo Joo spyied by secret service because she's a dangerous woman. But why? How? Just a hint: it's related to her book "secret prayer". Secret service chief has a scary face, and looks like the villain of the drama, lol!
A previous scene, Jin Ok opens the fridge, like there is something scary. We don't see what. Just Hyo Joo did the same and we didn't see. And now Jin Ok is about to say what to Woo Sung, but stop and doesn't. Here, it's playing with our nerves. ^^
More nerves breaking: the cops fail to stop the security chief to leave, so they will watch the camera only tomorrow. I bet everything will be erased during the night.
I like the various obstacles: he want to tell her he's going into politic but NO: If he would do, she want divorce. Note at this point, he even didn't revealed it yet. But I'm sure she guess everything, it's why she says that. Next he will try to speak about that during resto scene. I like this kind of comedy, not invasive and subtle, from situation and characters.
Soo Ho is pissed off to watch such a lovely couple. He's attracted by Yeo Joo? Or he would like be in a couple too?
- p6 Series of fun suspens scene: first the security chief yells at Woo Sung. Just for an authograph. As doors of the elevators close, last moment, the two cops enters.! 😅
Before Beak appartement, with the cop and Hyo Joo: Insert a small montage where she blames the police.
Soo Ho opens the fridge... again we don't see. Ayyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!! And.... it was book!
