After watching one episode I personally am not keen to continue. Too much violence and too much slickness in the visuals. Plus the emphasis on revenge ugh. SYJ is great as expected but I don't think it's enough to make it a great show.
It would be a huge surprise and pleasant change if they won’t have them together in the end. And in some way,…
Thanks for mentioning the translation! I noticed that the writing is particularly good in this series, but didn't realize some of it is due to the translator. I'm happy Netflix picked up this show and hired good translators, since the translations on other sites are hit or miss. (Actually, I just realized I don't know how this works, whether it's the production company that provides the translation, or the distributor.)
In case others are also curious about that math problem from episode 2. I think the exact formulation is this (the subtitles are a bit off): When n random points are selected inside a circle, find the probability that the points will be vertices of a convex n-gon (n>=4). In other words, find the probability that none of the points is in the convex hull of the others. I think the scene where they both write on the blackboard is them trying to solve it for n=4, which is relatively easy. Here's a solution for that case: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/SylvestersFour-PointProblem.html . For the general case, I found this paper which gives some bounds, but anyway the problem is indeed hard: https://www.jstor.org/stable/2652854
ETA: Here's a simple way to kinda see what's happening: Draw four points on a paper. Forget about the circle, that's not essential. Now draw lines between every two points. There should be six lines. What is the outline of that drawing? It's either a triangle or a quadrilateral (try multiple positions for the points -- this is what they were doing in that scene). The problem asks what is the probability that it is _not_ a triangle.
Thanks for the insightful review. I had given up on HDL a while back and was thinking of picking it up again. I think your review convinced me to move on for good. After watching My Mister I was trying to watch all IU's dramas but obviously she can only do so much with the script she's given.
PS. I did not rate this drama.
