You don't watch a drama when there are no subs and you don't know the language cause it's a given you won't understand everything.

However, this can't be the case in this one. I found the series very easily with subs and watched it yesterday and the first episode was good. Not perfect, but good.

Now, the low rating could be for lots of reasons:
1. There is no international platform and people are mad about it (cause they are bored to search for it elsewhere)
2. Some of the people who rated the drama truly didn't like the first episode and gave it a very low rating (even if some enjoyed it, the rating would still be low if others gave it a 1/2 stars)
3. Some purposefully rated it low, cause they don't like some of the actors or for whatever other pity reason -it would not be the first time, but I don't think that is the case''.

And talking about absurdity, MDL should ban people from rating episodes that haven't been released, cause all episodes have been rated a 10 in the episode guide...
Absurdity goes both ways, it's just that we only notice when ratings are low.

I am not sure why the ratings are so low, but they were definitely not ''thriving'' when they had limited viewers. If Kdramas hadn't got popular internationally we would probably never watch such a series. There were barely any ''darker''/mystery Kdramas in the past.

That aside, MDL rating is not important at all especially now that there is not really an international platform.

No. It has a bit of a rushed beginning but generally the first episode was good. Plot was interesting and had a dark atmosphere. I'm not sure why it has such low ratings. Cpuld be because it doesn't have an international platform and it is apparently difficult to find with subs.

Exactly. It is way too predictable but also very plausible. Plus the actor is well known face so I wouldn't be surprised if it was him. Hoping we are wrong and there is some plot twist though.

They better be following closely the book, cause it was great.

I am having the same question every single year 😭

First episode was good enough. The plot is definitely interesting so I would like to see where this goes.

Two things I didn't like (besides some overacting here and there).

1. I love Byun Yo Han but he can't pass for a 19 year old. I don’t get why they just couldn't find a younger actor to play the character when he was in high school.

2. The first half felt extremely rushed. It was like the scriptwriter/director was like "this is just some not interesting background/past story, let's show it on screen as fast as possible so we can go to the main plot". Even though the point was there, I think it would be a better choice to show more of his time in prison and his struggles and more of the relationship he had with the girls and generally his classmates and his family. More info about the interogation or the general police investigation.
Of course things will get revealed in the future and we will probably have tons of flashbacks, but building a connection between the characters is important and there was barely any. Just a fight and and some scenes scattered here and there and then boom he is the murderer, he got arrested, he went on trial, got into prison, got abused and then released. All that in like 20 minutes! Felt more like a recap of the previous episode than an actual episode.

Don't do this to me, I mustn't start another series.

It is plausible he was wearing a bulletproof vest. Pretty sure that when mayor shot him was the only time there was blood since she hit him on the shoulder. The fatal shots probably went on the vest. On the other hand his whole character is extra ah, so I wouldn't be surprised if he truly survived without a vest.

Glad you enjoyed it! Well. I hope it is the reason we see more in the future.

I don't know if that is for promoting, but I don't find it bad nor unexpected. It is a common technique to promote something even months before it gets released and I don't think we will wait too long for this one. It could as well be that this was to be broadcasted earlier and suddenly that changed, so maybe they couldn't change the whole promoting thing.
It was rumored to air in July/August at first but probably didn't cause of the Olympics. I won't be surprised if it airs September/October. Even MJTY came out much earlier than expected.

Sun Jun U is the most obvious suspect so I hope it's not him.

Like I have the same question 😂

I get he is the ML and can't die yet, but at least make it look like he could survive.

Yeap, totally not worth it imo.

You don't have to. Make sure to read the synopsis of this one though before you start watching, cause it starts very abruptly and it is quite confusing if you don't have an idea about what the plot is about.

Yes

EPISODE 5

🔥 The audacity of that man coming to his home after raping and murdering a woman and being calm as hell...

🔥 Priest dude is a quite well known actor, so I will be extremely impressed if he is not the maskman

🔥 I am actually wondering if that man he was giving water to (the other priest) ended up like that cause of him. Since he is targeting specifically Guk Ho, there must be a reason and I am wondering what it is. Is he just a relative of one of the victims? Or worse? What if he is his son? Could be that Guk Ho was raping women long before he had a kid with his wife.

🔥HOW THE ACTUAL HELL IS THAT DUDE STILL ALIVE?

🔥🔥🔥 GREG HSU NEXT EPISODE, I AM READY 🔥🔥🔥

You know the episode is going to be good, when Paganini's Caprice no. 24 starts playing

❤️

Too much money for them to risk that unfortunately. I feel like as long as there is even 0,001% chance it can air in China they will wait. No matter how popular Cdramas are internationally, they are much more popular in China. Financially they probably believe it is better for them to wait and air it If a chance ever comes than sell it and gain basically nothing compared to what they invested...

We can just hope this along with the other series will see the light of day and that no scandals will happen in the meantime.
