Did you end up watching the series? I was thinking to buy the book, but I want to know if it is exactly the same as the series before doing so.

I don't know if it is normal in Japan either, but it was pretty obvious what the grandpa did to her from the way the scene was directed and shown. The fact that the parents chose to ignore it, is a social commentary itself, about the way they deal with child abuse. I suppose you are still in the first episode so I won't spoil.

According to this article he got 7 years in prison. Haven't found any other sources in english though. https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2020/05/28/socialAffairs/Yang-Jinho-gapjil-%EC%96%91%EC%A7%84%ED%98%B8/20200528165200215.html

In general it takes a few hours for an episode to get subbed on Viki. Keep in mind that volunteers translate and segment the episodes. If you can wait please watch it from Viki or from a legal source if available. Kissasian and dramacool may have a lot of dramas, but they don't sub them. They usually take the subtitles from fansubbers and upload them.

It will probably take a few hours since it just finished airing. You can watch it on Viki though if it is available in your region.

I am pretty sure it will be released all at once

I agree about his death. I also wanted him to rot in jail (even though that didn't happen in the real case). I am sure that they left enough evidence though. If the servers were kept that probably meant that they were going to be presented as evidence in court. That also means that there is a probability that the victims of those videos might have been called to testify and it would be like experiencing humiliation for the second time, so I preferred the fact that they burned them. However as you said they should have done it earlier so that no one would get injured.

I agree with the first point. They like this kind of dramatic writing I suppose. They didn't destroy the evidence though. When the prosecutors got there, there were many boxes full of papers which were the evidence. They just destroyed the videos so that they won't be available online anymore.

I felt that. It's been three weeks and I an still obsessed with this series

Stumbled on your review while I checked if the second season has a higher rating than the first. You have no idea how much I agree with everything, even though I have to say that I didn't find the directing really good, in the first half at least. I especially liked the OST in this one. I actually found Oh Yoon Hee a little bit more bearable in the second season. I agree that she is the definition of brainless, but I felt that the "seriousness" of her in this season comparing to the other one was better for the actress. I haven't watched Eugene in another series, but in this one I just didn't like her acting, mostly in emotional scenes. She was way better when she had a more serious tone. Will definitely watch season 3 and I really hope that it is better than the 2nd one.

First of all, I really liked your article. I also love dark dramas and if I made a list most of the dramas you added would be in it. ''This drama will make you... even willing to kill some characters.'' Exactly! I am still mad that that truck didn't run Tae Oh over in the last episode. Save Me was a breath of fresh air and same thing goes with Strangers from Hell. Koreans tend to add unnecessary comedy scenes in most of their dramas, so I am glad that these stayed serious. Also, thank God that extracurricular was a netflix production and we got to see such a great story. Penthouse was the definition of frustrating, even though I wouldn't consider it dark. Well, Beyond Evil became one of my favorite dramas. It was exceptional in every way. I would recommend you to watch Children of Nobody. It deals with a sensitive subject. I personally enjoyed it very much, but it is a hit or miss.

He was sentenced to 7 years in prison. If you look up his name you will find more things about him.

A thread about the real case

I agree with the first point, but about the second one they left evidence. Besides that I think the point was for all these videos to be deleted so that the victims would get the justice they deserved. I didn't expect the CEO to die, but oh well the real one got a sentence of only 7 years... I hope they somehow work together in the future. Glad this case is over. It took too long imo. I hope the next one is good too!

Entertainment industry is about making money anyways. If she makes them money she will be in the spotlight soon. Maybe not now, but she will be in a year or two, when her scandal is forgotten. She is caught up in a scandal and that means that she is blacklisted for now. No matter how good she is, if many people judge her on the media she will not be in the spotlight. It is evident in their series and movies how much the public opinion matters in those kind of incidents.

I think OCN confirmed that this happens in the same universe. The police officer that helped the FL was also in Strangers from hell (from the same writer)

It usually takes more than 6 months for a jmovie to be available anywhere (without subs). It will probably take a while especially if you need subs. Hopefully someone will sub it. Maybe it is available to buy it from somewhere though.

Even though I didn't really like the synopsis when I read it, the first episode was much better than I expected. It was quite entertaining, with beautiful shots and I liked the way they presented the mutants.

I can't find it anywhere yet

Trailer looks great
