The K-drama industry really needs to do more thorough research when portraying other cultures. I have yet to see a single K-drama where another culture is represented accurately. And in 2025, when K-dramas are a global phenomenon and platforms like Netflix are streaming them internationally, this kind of oversight shouldn't be happening. The inaccurate Chinese portrayals were already disappointing, but now two new shows are facing serious backlash for misrepresenting Middle Eastern cultures and mixing them up with East Asian elements. If you're going to center an entire show around another culture, the least that can be done is proper research and respectful representation.
this show is half way done and we have so many open plots, i really hope we dont get a rushed ending. either they pick up the pace now with the political part or we’ll have to see a rushed ending. i really hope thats not the case.
can someone fill me up on the gong ill plot? i dont understand him, first he seemd like hes with the king but then it showed he was the one who shot the king in ep 1. who is he exactly and whats his purpose
I get why people are angry at Bongsu, and honestly, Gyeonu deserves so much better. He deserves to live, to be free, to finally have peace after the lifelong torment he's been through. But at the same time, I can’t bring myself to fully blame Bongsu either. yes, he’s become evil, but he didn’t start that way. ghosts usually turn evil either because they linger too long due to regret, or because something terrible was done to them. In Bongsu’s case, it was both. Yeomhwa twisted him into what he is now, and we’re forgetting he was just a teenager too, a soldier who lost his best friend and couldn’t even keep the promise he made. That’s why I really appreciate how Seonga and her mom handle it. They never truly blamed him. They understand that shamans deal with spirits; they’ve seen how pain can warp someone. Seonga’s obviously upset, but she never treated Bongsu like he was pure evil. She gets it. And let’s be real, Bongsu will disappear eventually. Gyeonu will get his life back, and I hope he finally gets the peace and love he deserves. But at the end of the day, Bongsu just wanted to grow up. He just wanted a future he never got. It doesn’t mean Gyeonu owes him anything; this is his life, his body, but I still can’t help feeling bad for both of them. I just really hope both of them find peace.
I haven't seen any ghost that could make me believe that gyeonwu is in danger yet the whole drama is about saving…
Ghosts don’t directly kill Gyeonu, they create situations that COULD kill him. Like the restaurant ghost dropping that huge sign on him, the fire ghost burning down the storage room, or the water ghost literally drowning him.
Oh, I feel sorry for Bong Su, because the shaman simply doesn't try to understand about him, about his past life…
I think shes more concerned about separating them first, because gyeongu is in serious trouble. once they are separate, she can focus on figuring out his past and make him cross to the other world.
So crazy that some of you will hate on Yeomhwa (for good reason), but will let Bongsu being an evil spirit pass.…
i think u missed a point here, how a ghost becomes an evil spirit is either by lingering in the human world for too long or by being provoked into turning malicious. In Bongsu’s case, both happened to him, which makes his transformation all the more tragic and significant.
I LOVE BONGSU MORE OMG HAHAHAH I adore both Gyeonu and BONGSU but Bongsu is such a fun mood😂😂 And His bickering…
OMGG you neeeeeed to watch the haunted place, the story line is literally a shaman falling for a ghost type creature! its so cute and they have a happy ending too
It was good; one thing that could be improved is the duration. The way she ended the toxic relationship with her…
What I gathered is that the athlete was actually using drugs, and SSH had included all of that in her original autopsy report. But because he was a high-profile figure, the people around him, likely his management and other influential connections pressured the forensics director to cover it up by changing the report to say he wasn’t using drugs. SSH refused to go along with it at first, which also explains her argument with the doctor who was later killed, he wanted her to sign off on the re-examination to falsify the results, likely for his own career gain. Eventually, SSH agreed to sign it, but only as a condition to open a temporary autopsy center in Yongcheon so she could find her father. The director later used her forged signature against her, claiming her original report was false. This not only cleared the athlete’s name but also painted her as the one at fault.
did i miss an episode why is everybody talking about miji's ex's story what story?
When Hosu and Miji attended the high school friend’s wedding, the moment it was revealed that Miji’s ex was actually gay — and that everyone had known and gossiped about it behind his back. That’s when the "ex" finally pieced it together and realized it was Mirae who had been pretending to be Miji in Doseonri.
People complaining about Rosa’s story being dragged are overlooking how essential it is for both Hosu and Miji’s character development. Rosa isn’t just a side story — she represents a turning point. For Miji, Rosa reminded her of her grandmother and became the emotional anchor she needed to confront her trauma. For Hosu, her case is forcing him to reflect on why he chose law in the first place — does he truly seek justice, or is he just emotionally drawn to the vulnerable? This journey is key to him discovering his real purpose. This drama isn’t just a simple storyline — it beautifully weaves together multiple genres and themes: childhood trauma, child neglect, sibling insecurity, physical disability, single motherhood, adoptive families, office bullying, sexual harassment, the LGBTQ+ experience, and more. So, including Rosa and Sangwol's story—one of an illiterate woman and the other an educated, capable woman who faced immense societal struggles decades ago and still struggled for basic respect and survival—isn’t a diversion. It fits perfectly. It adds depth and context to the generational struggles women have faced, making the present-day characters' stories even more powerful.
I have never seen single cdrama where ml doesn't accept his lover just bcz she changed
Nah, this isn’t just about her changing — these are completely different people sharing one body. I do think Luoren will end up accepting all of them, but it’ll be crazy if the version of Mudai we’ve been following since episode 1 isn’t even the main personality.
So the Mudai we've seen up until episode 15 wasn’t even her true self?? It was just one of her personalities—White Mudai. That’s the version Luoren fell in love with. I’m really curious to see how they move forward from here. Will Luoren be able to accept all of her personalities? It’s kind of strange if you think about it, because his feelings are based on just one version of her. I just hope it doesn’t turn into a mess later on.
That’s why I really appreciate how Seonga and her mom handle it. They never truly blamed him. They understand that shamans deal with spirits; they’ve seen how pain can warp someone. Seonga’s obviously upset, but she never treated Bongsu like he was pure evil. She gets it.
And let’s be real, Bongsu will disappear eventually. Gyeonu will get his life back, and I hope he finally gets the peace and love he deserves. But at the end of the day, Bongsu just wanted to grow up. He just wanted a future he never got. It doesn’t mean Gyeonu owes him anything; this is his life, his body, but I still can’t help feeling bad for both of them.
I just really hope both of them find peace.
