I've finally watched the fourth episode and the second half was so powerful, I can't wait for the next episode!

Sameee, I love discussing this drama every week with you all ahah <3



It's one of the reasons why I don't regret watching it as it's airing, even though the wait for the new episodes is killing me 😂😂

I really can't wait to find out more about Kim Chul. I wonder if he is like that because he used to be the target of bullying like Kyung Min or if there is some backstory that involves his family or his mental health

I don't think so, psychopaths usually are unable to feel deeply emotions such as guilt and empathy, but he proved many times that he can feel those emotions. And before the "incident" he wasn't manifesting any antisocial behavior either, he looked like a genuinely nice person. I think that it's the trauma that has driven him to become a monster; and he may have a dissociative identity disorder as well.

I loved him in The Guest as well, but I agree: he's shining in this role

Yes, if this aired on Netflix it would have been a hit, it's such a shame that it's not getting half the attention it deserves, but at least it's getting good reviews.

I knew I shouldn't have started this drama while it's airing, how am I supposed to wait a whole week after that ending?? I wanted to write something about the episodes, but I can't even articulate my thoughts right now.

If he auditioned then he got the role because of his performance during the audition, not because of his career, especially considering that the writer didn't watch any drama where he had a main role. And I've never watched anything of his either, but, even if I'm not crazy about him myself, I have to admit that he actually fits this role very well, so I'm not surprised that the production team chose him. Also I don't know if this drama got added here only because of him. Of course his fans played a major part, but the novel was already popular enough, and there are even people like myself who were waiting for this without knowing Lee Min Ho and without having read the novel, so it would have probably happened anyway. But in any case I don't understand what this has to do with the drama itself.

I also think that if this was on Netflix it would have become a hit, but it may be a matter of rights: maybe tving doesn't want to sell those rights for some reason since from what I've seen it's likely that their upcoming drama Monstrous won't also be picked up by an international platform. I've read somewhere that they're planning an international debut, but I don't know if it's really true.

Ah yes, this is true. Maybe it should be added in the description so that it's clear that this can't really be considered a Kdrama like the others.

You don't rate the whole drama, you just rate the first episodes

Honestly my biggest problem with this take is that if something like this were to happen in real life it would do absolutely no good. The idea that the victim just needs to vent out her emotions to understand the value of life is just an idea, but does it work though? Some people spend decades in therapy venting out their emotions to get better, but it doesn't always work out. And here we see the FL bullying the victim into venting out her frustrations and that's it, it worked because the writer said it worked but it could have as well been the last straw for the victim to have a completely random stranger judge her for being weak.

The ratings always drop after the first days, it's nothing to worry about

Apparently it's a co-production, that's why they added it here. If you can get trough the bottom of the comments here you will see the explanation.

Actually no, he had to make an audition for the role. The writer didn't even watch any of his dramas. He got the role because they thought he had the same aura of the character in the novel. And he's not even the focus in the story, he only has like 15 minutes of screen time in the first three episodes (haven't watched the fourth yet) in a drama where there are many characters.

Yes, it's been months since I've finished it the first time and I'm still thinking about it. I get all emotional whenever I hear the soundtrack ahah.

Yes, the ML will be bringing some humanity into the team, but that scene slightly made me uncomfortable because I don't really think that it was what she needed to hear at the moment; that poor woman spent years thinking that she should have tried harder to recover and she genuinely made an effort, she was living her life, she even had a job, it's not like she was falling into self-pity. But I get it that it's a delicate topic since we don't really know how to save someone from killing themselves unfortunately.

Yes, I had exactly the same doubt as you. When she starts talking it seems too much like victim-blaming "you should have tried harder" etc. Then she changes attitude later. The ML put more effort into it, but even that felt forced, like I don't think that a hug from a stranger is enough to convince a person who's dealing with that trauma to continue living.

The drama is cool and entertaining with a fun cast and nice visuals, but I'm not really liking how they're dealing with such a delicate topic, the way they saved the woman here felt forced and it even slightly made me uncomfortable when Goo Ryun started talking so harshly to her, like seriously: how does that help a person who decided to end her life?

I think it's because it has a slow pacing and nothing much happens; no action and no romance may make it less appealing for some. I also hope that it will become more popular here because it truly has the potential to be a masterpiece.
