i just have to praise N for his performance in this show. at first i couldn't figure eunho out but then he became this big puzzle of a character. it's like you have him at the tip of your finger but then you don't. i pity him and cried for him. (don't know if i should) i was questioning whether he would suddenly switch and have a whole different facade like a lot of shows do with serial killers but he didn't. he was himself, that shy and traumatized kid that no one ever suspected was the one. everything was understood to the bone. it was the trauma that ruined him. just like hana, because of abuse he felt like he couldn't say anything. getting rid of those bad parents was his way of speaking; he mistook it for something good. in the end it just led to his own breakdown due to leaving so many steps behind. he knew he would get caught eventually, the timing was just right for him at the time. i've never felt so connected to a character's lore. we didn't even have to see everything he experienced to know how much pain he was in. so basically.. he understood the assignment lol
i skipped almost everything without the second leads the show is barely progressing and just quirky comedy. it's still the first week so hopefully it'll change
such an unexpected great ending. during watching i had some criticism, but after finishing this show, i find myself thinking it's a masterpiece. such a tragic story of a killer portrayed perfectly. the whole brain surgery was never useless. the writer used the surgery to test their hypothesis: what if serial killers felt remorse? the fact is that regardless of whether the person has remorse or not, they will always be punished for their wrongdoing. remorse is one of the most painful things a serial killer could feel. bareum's death was satisfying and deserving of. bareum's childhood was traumatic and he was neglected, this also showed the effect a child's environment and how it affects their wellbeing. i'm glad the writer made it clear that just because someone has "the psychopath gene" or has issues sympathizing, it doesn't mean they will always be a bad person or a criminal. mouse is the perfect example of of that. two sides of the coin—yohan and bareum— this show felt like a novel, a really really good one. praise to all the actors and staff.
reminder to never neglect your children by the way. hope people finish the show before judging it.
MM becomes the person DK loves the most instead of her brother and instead of her dying, MM uses his fate to die in her place. i really hope that’s not the case, but i’ll watch anyways
it was very aesthetically pleasing. the whole "bad day" cliche was kinda boring. i would've rather seen an internal struggle, but it's just the first episode. feel like the show doesn't need romance, but i'm here for the second leads anyways. missed boyoung btw!
