This drama does not do anything for me anymore. Just get it over with. Another episode where the lead actor has to say the line “You can use me as bait”. What a shame, because I thought it started off really well. But the script isn’t going anywhere, has lost its focus, and has now been going round in circles for several episodes just to bring things to a conclusion.

I’d definitely say she’s into him. They’ve already had their moments together. But she wants to protect him, which is why she tries to keep her distance, whilst he’s basically obsessed with her and bases all his decisions and actions around her. So I wouldn’t say it’s one-sided, but I just think that, overall, the character comes across as much weaker and less interesting because of his excessively clingy development.

Is there any sympathetic character left in the show? Perhaps the ML? In my opinion, they have dumbed him down massively by turning him into an obedient puppy. Additionally, the constant crying and clinging to the FL gets annoying over time. I would say the FL but her fate seems so overblown with the constant streak of unlucky events that she appears very unrealistic at this point.

Enjoying it for the most part, however, it starts to get repetitive. Another cliffhanger where the scene suggests that the main lead once again is involved in a crime she has possibly not commited. As the show proposed, there might be two coincidences but not three. Yet they maintain this idea that she has somehow accumulated all the worst luck in the world, always n the wrong place at the wrong time.

Also the antagonistic and yet alluring and ambigious attraction between the leads was probably the strongest point in the show. Now that they appear to be together and cooperate for the most part it does not have the same quality as before.

Like many of you, I’m also confused about the main character’s close friend. It’s probably already been mentioned here, but there was a specific reference to the fact that the gift the main character received with the “Happy Birthday” note came from a left-handed person. The scene then cut to the close friend holding the teacup with his left hand. He didn't write the letter as we know but he appears very suspicious

Yes, the last two episodes weren't as good as the previous ones. But I think they also used those episodes to give the other characters more screentime and flesh them out a bit. They keep coming back to the lawyer who has a child with her ex-husband, so I think there will be an episode centred more around the divorce issue with the other person who married him.

The only problem I have is that they go up against the same lawyers and they always win. It doesn't help that the other side looks too weak and the subsequent cases appear trivial in a way. I understand that they are the main characters, but I would like to see some pushback. But I think they will add a case soon that they will eventually lose in some fashion.

Very intriguing so far. I love intelligent dramas, especially those that revolve around lawyers and deal with morality, judgement and ethics.

The chemistry between the actors involved is really good so far. Lee Jin Wook is balancing the tension between coldness and flashes of a compassionate lecturer really well so far. I hope they don't go for romance though. Just as long as it remains platonic, I have no problem with it.

I can't wait for the next episode

I've just signed up to comment on a series I fell in love with when season 1 aired. Unfortunately, I can't share the same feeling for season 2; it's a convoluted mess with a huge cast, huge storylines and problematic plot pacing.

I don't know if they took Game of Thrones as a model to build a big story with many characters involved. If so, they failed miserably. They constantly jump to characters - ('jumped the ship' if I do say so myself) and yet other characters, especially the ones we thought were the main characters, were left out for entire episodes.

It's funny that there seems to be so much going on this season, but there's less depth and content than in season 1, where the characters excelled with genuine development that made them likeable and their actions relatable. With a few exceptions, I found the dialogue very shallow and somewhat predictable compared to the previous season


What I did like, however, is that the show shed more light on monsterization of humans and its implications on society and culture, not just in the fictional world of Sweet Home, but also in real life. For anyone interested, I would recommend reading JJ Cohen's Monster Theory.

I'm really excited. After his role in Sweet Home I also watched Voice 2&3 and he instantly became my favourite actor.

But him starring in the new show is most likely a clue that he won't be part of the cast in Voice 4. . .
