I like it. A story of an ordinary gay guy with struggles. A flawed character. He's selfish and I could see why most of his partners complains about him. Mostly, he only thinks about himself and his own satisfaction. I still feel bad about NamGyu. I like that he's taking the responsibilities for all his actions, the consequences.
For one, Kylie. Kyle is a big variable in his life, influenced alot. I wish he could communicate. He and Gyu ho could have communicated. I like how it shows how much he loved him and could have made better decisions back then. His and Gyu Ho's relationship was cute. They look and seem good together. Gyuho was so good. It's a pity. Throughout Young's years, I think he only had a self awareness and character development in the last two episodes.
I wished they show more of his friends, but I guess his pov is mostly all about himself. He's so out of it, he's oblivious to his surroundings. I like his friends, especially Eun Soo. However, episode 8 insinuation of EunSoo's relationship status was confusing. Did he later break off his marriage or what?
Good performance from the actors 👍 It was a good show 😊
Btw, is it the actor himself that does his mouth that way or is it his character's triat? Cause it makes him look pouty and childish. Because if it was to make him look 'gay,' I find it unnecessary.
Hmm. Lol, I don't even know what to feel about this drama.
1. The FL. I didn't like her at the beginning. Her deceit left a bad taste. The scam plot made me uncomfortable(I loathe the act of scam). But she want out herself. Although, this is only because she felt for the ML. She still wanted to proceed to other 'candidates.' Granted, she owed money but I find her method of payment irresponsible. But I think I still like her character's growth in the whole drama.
2. The ML was disappointing. I won't say I understand how PTSD works, so maybe that's why I can't understand how he could be so irresponsible as a father, even if he doesn't care about other things. Apart from the trauma arc, he still couldn't be a father. Only that one conversation which magically fixed the father-daughter relationship 🙂 Also, how he and his family, except his sister, overlooked the suspicions from the FL 🙄
3. The Grandma was a snub. An arrogant conceited woman who doesn't see anything except herself. I hated how the writer managed to write her in pity, and instead of her owning up to her wrongs and redeeming it, they managed to make the husband submit to her, again. She and her children treat her husband and their father lowly undeservingly. He deserved much better. But then, that's his own sacrifice. The Grampa was also stupid with that scam arc 😑
4. The scammer family was nauseating. They have no boundaries. I hated how at the end, everything just got swept away as if these people had no bad intention, ruined families and almost ruined another family. They suddenly gave the characters a sudden makeover. It's as if they did nothing wrong at all. I hated it.
5. I don't understand the logic behind that past-present-future cycle the ML was doing. Seems too messy, lacking and unnecessary of a life for me. I got tired of it at a point. It got uninteresting. In my opinion, their so called superpower was a curse.
6. There's no chemistry and concrete romance. From the ML's side, it's as if the FL gave him hope of his obsession with saving in his past life, the hope of her saving their family, that was the love. Their romance was uninteresting to me. And the ML magically got to forget his child's mother just weeks in his new relationship. As for the FL's feelings, I think it evolved from pity and is more genuine than the ML's but whatever 😑
7. I don't understand why almost every characters in this drama managed to be jobless. For the power the grandma has, it didn't seem like they made anything tangible from it, these people could have had multiple investments and businesses. Only stocks and spending. The FL family too. Well, they scam for a living, even though they didn't know when to stop 🙂
8. Let's not delve deep into the unrealistic 'weight loss' journey of the sister too.
9. I'm all for imperfect and flawed characters, because perfect characters are boring and unoriginal. However, in this drama, the characters are mostly stupid or wicked swindlers. I like imperfect characters but I also want characters developments because we can't be the same for life. The so called character development here seem like an artificial 'good characters turn bad' and 'characters reunion.' It was rushed for happy ending purpose and didn't feel sincere. Dunno if I expressed that well.
10. The sister's character growth was too dragged. She was knowingly heading into fire of marriage for desperation. I expected more from her. I also ship her and grace in a love hate way, lol.
Phew, those are the vents I remember for now.
As for the ending, sigh... This drama feels ridiculously amusing in its writings and some of its logic, that I can't even get completely angry at it. But it also left me some unsatisfactory feelings. More negative, although I can't pinpoint what exactly, it was too much.
Lol. First of all, did the detectives really pass their exams? What sort of unintelligent, and lazy detective were they? Even the ML as a criminal profiler is even more smarter and knows what to do than the detectives.
Second of all, what sort of music editing is that? It made me lower my volume cause it was so annoying. Unnecessary music in scenes or non befitting music for scenes, wtf. Never knew ost editing was so important until I watched this.
What was that ending? Investigation but not everyone was arrested and put into law. The secretary of that bipolar woman was overlooked. Also, was Subin invisible in this drama or what? She wasn't suspected and even when the inspector knew about her, her identity never even leaked at all which didn't make sense! She was so sus bro. Damn, what sort of police and detectives are in this drama?🤦
The characters didn't interest me. Also, tell me why ML desperately warned the FL not trust anybody and the next scenes, she went ahead falling into trap, twice. I understand her desperation but🤦🤦🤦
The Cult theme seems like an afterthought, dunno. It wasn't fully fleshed out. These people don't have the mind of belief and craziness it takes to raise a cult. They were too mild. The cult plot was poorly written.
I like the suspense, that was what kept me going. Acting is average. Unexplained things and plotholes. Poor action scenes. Low IQ detectives. Cinematography and directing is average. Music editing is trash. Ending is unsatisfactory. Story is just there. They also managed to make the drama look low budget, which I don't know if it's a fact or not🙂
I liked it at the beginning but I don't just know, want feeling it at some points. There are still some confusing things. Why can't they just talk?😑 I don't think the sex or nudity scenes were unnecessary though, it was communicative. And I think the ending result was the one shown in the first episode.
I personally think JCW and his character stole the show.
I understand JJS has to keep the the ruggedness of a queen to be respected, but I think she's expressionless. Maybe because she's been doing movies where she has to be expressionless or so, I didn't notice before. Her character appears to unfeeling. He has no chemistry with JCW too.
There are still many questions like why the White Tiger leader spared the Queen at that scene. Some things were unrealistic too because considering how powerful and animalistic the white tigers were, the queen troupe shouldn't have been able to win. With so many assasins too, but anyways...
And that directing was unattractive.
I think it was okay but I expected more. It was unsatisfactory.
Hmm. Dunno where to start from First of all, THE ACTING AJD ACTORS WERE AMAZING! Playing characters after characters, while maintaining their original role, damn. It was an art.
Characters wise, not so satisfied. Jeongnyeon is talented and flawed. She's ambitious, so that explains her crazy acts sometimes. I do find her over the top sometimes and I didn't like the pity party they gave her in ep 8,9. She reaped what she sowed. She made others started blaming themselves and disrupted the atmosphere with her actions. She wanted to eat her cake and have it all the time. She's fitting for a FL but I didn't like her all the time. She got so annoying to me at some point. She was still given the protagonist halo though🤷
Heo Youngso had one impressive character development. She's flawed, yet, impressive. I like her.
Yooran, hmm. I think I like her at the beginning but the writer seems to want to get rid of her and her aura, she started blending in as a supporting character than a main she started with. So disappointing. As for her decision, it was sad but not surprising. But that plotline seems like she got disposed from the story. And it was obvious with the confessions and all that that she loved Jeongnyeon and vice versa. Although, I would have preferred her with Youngseo.
Okgyeong was a complex character and her actions didn't surprise me at all. Her last action seem befitting of her, yet, sudden. Like another character disposal.
Hyerang wanted to protect what they have but she did it wrongly. And it's disappointing that what she and Mr Ok did got swept under the rug, because their actions affected the troupe significantly.
I like Chorok's character development too. I also like other characters like Doaeng and Jeongnyeon's sister too, amongst others.
It was a good one👍, although not so satisfied with the story.
It's nice, I like as the ML cowardice pushed away when it was time to get serious. But I don't know why the stupid bully and the ML himself blamed the ML for what happened in the past. Bro, he was the one who wrote those words on his shoes, it got returned to him, so how was that his own fault?? It's an okay movie.
It's good. Interesting enough. I liked how the writer didn't try to cram in plenty plots and focused on a thing. Although, the ML's acting can be stiff sometimes. I like KSK's acting and nimbleness. And Bumbal was one lucky cowardly bastard 😂 Also, what was that ending 🙄
adoptive pops wasn't his biological pops. writer just wanted to show that they were a real family all along despite…
Oh, I understand. Then why bother letting him waste those journeys to find his real. And I'm curious as to why none of the candidates turned out to be the one. Maybe the 4th one he never explored?
I liked it. I like the plot and how flawed the characters were written. The balanced comedic tone to it. Although, the death theme wasn't too emotional for me, maybe because we've been prepared for it from the beginning?
The ML and FL were very flawed, had abandonment issues, mommy and daddy issues, and maybe some bad luck. They loved each other but their relationship wasn't healthy. They hurt each other too. Maybe it was best that they ended up with each other, so as not to hurt other potential partners.
Although, it seemed like the FL was truly going to move on to the SML, she wasn't as free with him as the ML. I feel bad for her though, if she'd married the second ML, she wouldn't have been dragged into the 'after death' trauma. Even if it's not sure she may have had a happy life with the SML.
The ML in particular has many issues, I read an interesting theory that he had issues with the females in his life because he blamed himself for his mother's incident, he didn't mention her much and his father didn't commit to any female too because they blamed themselves and were traumatised, I think it was plausible theory. Although, I tried to understand why him not being his biological son is an excuse to abandon him. Because the drama was from his pov, it wasn't perfect, so it made somethings make sense.
I like the side characters too, I felt bad for Eo heung. He deserved much better than the FL also.
The questions I have is: I'm still confused if his father was his real father and how long has he known? And if he really was, why didn't they consider a DNA test back then instead of just relying on numbers? And why didn't he consider the probability that he contacted the illness from his mother, was it the guilt?
Excellent acting, good cinematography and directing👍
Hmm. I found it nice at the beginning BUT, to be honest, the survival game was unrealistic. So many flying non-penetrating bullets and alot of too many hesistant shooting moments. The enemies won't shot nor would their bullets pierce the bandits either🙄 I wonder if villians do really hesitate to kill like that in real life? Also, So many timely rescue. The writer played it too safe, considering the main theme. The nationalism shii gets stale sometimes...
Anyways, I love the music, acting, the action, suspenseful scenes and the fighting scenes (although, some were overly long), it was well choreographed.
The romance was absolutely... unnecessary! That love on first sight thingy ain't working on me, and it made the ML act so irrational, putting others at risk. The so called romance didn't have much substance or chemistry to it either; they both seem world apart and it seem forced on the screen. Him and ENY had the perfect chemistry and synergy!
And that ending...???
Also, they all did well, BUT, my girl Lee Ho Jung outdid herself here mehn. Damn!
All in all, it was okay but not excellent story wise and not that realistic for a liberation nationalism story. In summary, a beautifully packed nothing. Nothing much.
For one, Kylie. Kyle is a big variable in his life, influenced alot. I wish he could communicate. He and Gyu ho could have communicated. I like how it shows how much he loved him and could have made better decisions back then. His and Gyu Ho's relationship was cute. They look and seem good together. Gyuho was so good. It's a pity. Throughout Young's years, I think he only had a self awareness and character development in the last two episodes.

They also tried so hard to make it scary, leaving most things unexplained.
