no, wi gen, you're the problem. you want to catch the spirits who broke out of hell to send them back. their ultimate fate is eternal punishment. you have the urge to hurt them for hurting others. you threaten to end the "lives" of the counters who disagree with you. that's vengeful. you can't have a problem with counters defending themselves or their families. they used their powers AFTER they were attacked. they had valid reasons! you expect them to sit still and watch themselves or their families get attacked? you're WORSE than the spirits!
"but then i'd be no better than you jerks"
yes, you would be. you have a broken "morality." fix that. when angry, you should let it out
OK soooo, I'm just on episode one, am I the only one question things, if the evil spirits now also have counter…
in the 1st season, we learnt that spirits can't see the territory. season 2 is different. the spirits saw "dark lights rising from the ground." that's bad news for the counters
except for the poor visual effects (the obvious wires/ropes) and fetishized childhood friendships at the end of episode 2 (a 9 year old boy having the hots for a 7 year old girl he just met, seriously? let kids be kids), everything was great. the first 2 episodes wowed me
i don't like "superheroes." i like "villains" and pro-revenge themes that aren't paid lip-service to and conveniently forgotten in the heat of a battle
it’s taken as a given in fiction that "superheroes" are "moral," but their moral compass doesn't point in the right direction. "saving lives?" that's the last thing i'd want to do. people aren't worth it. the way so moon leered at ha na and introduced her as his "girlfriend" against her wishes? fucking creep. i'd have kicked him in the nuts. the "romance?" irrelevant sub-plot that overtook the more interesting main plot. raise your standards, ha na! and "he hurt innocent civilians?" most people aren't innocent. learn to control your emotions, gi ran!
what did i like here? the family dynamics. the troubled, mistreated, relatable characters that hong nae and won chang played. and the chemistry between hong nae, won chang, byeong kyu and joon sang
No we still like it as far as it’s sweet office romance 🥰 we don’t care
the times choi jun made eye contact, smiled, and leaned in closer to show lee jun that he's interested? the time hyun jae grabbed drinks with lee jun? and the staff said, "enjoy your relationship?" everything is less boring, thanks to the flirting and sexual tension
second episode is too early for a date or sex in the office. we'll get there
Contrary to what other people are saying, the romantic tension is heavily implied and the ending hints at romantic…
it's an open ending that can heavily imply anything. friend zones. break-ups. divorces. hong sae and san young met over a cup of espresso. hong sae asked san young how she is, implying that it's been a while since they met up. he told her that the grandma's case will be classified as a suicide, etc. where's the "romantic tension" or "romantic resolution?"
"heavily implied romantic tension" or "romantic resolution in the future" =/= "romance"
it's obvious that hong sae has "feelings." it's not obvious that san young does. whenever something happened, san young wasn't herself. the ghost had "feelings" for hong sae
you can start watching the 10 episodes now. you'll get to watch the last 6 episodes with us. that would be more…
yep! they got into a fight! kang san was upset that dong joo intentionally held back key information by being vague, unclear or avoidant with him. so upset, he was almost hit by a car. dong joo made his way to kang san, saved the day, and told him everything he knew. that repaired their friendship/relationship
my favorite scene is when kang san cried and dong joo hugged him
should i watch first? or wait for it to be completed?
you can start watching the 10 episodes now. you'll get to watch the last 6 episodes with us. that would be more enjoyable and engaging than binge-watching 16 episodes in one day
No we still like it as far as it’s sweet office romance 🥰 we don’t care
the ratings don't matter. people like different things. it's okay that you don't like office bls, but i like them. i like bls that don't treat male colleagues dating as an HR nightmare. it's boring to spend hours at a desk, typing away and answering phone calls. i like the sweet bonding experiences that bring two (or more) men together and make the office environment less boring
Do San young and hong sae kiss or is their relationship just platonic with hints of romance?
it's platonic. hong sae's "feelings" for san young are not reciprocated or understood as such by san young
san young was busy figuring out the identity of the ghost till the last episode, and in the end, she's busy figuring herself out. she doesn't have time to feel the same way
some people see it as a "date." i don't see that. i see two buddies staying in touch
san young has been through a lot. she needs a time-out to recharge her batteries and plan her future, without thinking too far ahead. she doesn't need a "relationship." she'd have a hard time with that, when she's just learning to love herself

and this isn't a broad, arbitrary understanding of "romance?" wherever we draw the line, it's going to be arbitrary
i believe a declaration is necessary. without it, the leads are just buddies throwing an afternoon espresso party

episode 9, 12:50 = honest communication scene
episode 10, 20:30 = hugging scene
my favorite scene is when kang san cried and dong joo hugged him
in episodes 9 and 10, dong joo becomes a reliable, thoughtful and trustworthy person for kang san. he doesn't want to lie anymore
san young was busy figuring out the identity of the ghost till the last episode, and in the end, she's busy figuring herself out. she doesn't have time to feel the same way
