Episode 4 wrecked me. I always have a soft spot for children in my heart, and the way the evil dad treated his daughter boiled my blood. I am glad that the evil dad gets what he deserves, it's sooo satisfying!
I love this drama so far. I am already a fan of the FL since "Family by Choice", and her acting performance is much stronger here. I also agree with many of us here that she has good chemistry with the ML, despite the age difference. I am neutral on whether they will go along the romantic line or not -- but I'm looking forward to watch the next episodes!
I love The Kidnapping Day (TKD), so I'm watching this right now—just completed episode 1. The pace is good,…
I ended up binge-watching the remaining available episodes (2-5). This drama is so good, almost as good as the original. Pace is faster but it makes the drama enjoyable to watch, no dragging.
Can't wait for episode 6 to be released next week!
I love The Kidnapping Day (TKD), so I'm watching this right now—just completed episode 1.
The pace is good, it's faster than the original -- the little girl knew that he was not her father at the end of episode 1, compared to the end of episode 2 (or 3? I can't remember) of TKD.
The girl's age is younger here than in TKD, so while the little actress did a very good job, she's not comparable to Yuna in TKD, who was the heart and soul of the drama. I just wish they had cast an older girl.
I would have to agree with many opinions here that the drama started very well in the first half, but then it went down the drain in the second half. I didn't understand what was going on in the past two episodes.
The evil deity was portrayed as very scary in the first half (reminded me of the eight-foot-tall ghost in Haunted Palace, but then in the second half, he's just a ghost kid Bong-su-yaaaaaa, a cute name given by Seong-ah.
Yeomhwa was portrayed as evil in the first half, trying to serve the evil deity, but eventually she was described as part of the shaman family.
Poor Ji-ho, he's the greenest flag in the drama, his love for Seong-ah never fades, yet he still befriends her and her crush, still there for her and knows when to step back when he sees Seong-ah and Gyeon-U are inseparable.
I am at the 11th episode, and I am very confused. After her mom died, what did Seong-ah do? What happened to her and Bong-su after the first kiss? Why does the story then skip to last year at school, and then graduation, without Seong-ah?
Where was she all that time? Spoilers are welcome.
Finally, IU won the best actress award she deserves. Congratulations also to Hye-ran for winning the Best Supporting Actress award, and congratulations to the whole team for winning the Daesang.
Damn, I cried seeing the scene at the funeral hall, when Ja Yeong cried and apologised to Do Yun for killing her sister, and asked him to bring Jae In back.
This daily drama is indeed on another level: the fast-paced story, the acting, the plot twists.
Putting the bad AI-generated subtitles aside, this is a great thriller and suspense drama. It's much better than Park Ju-hyun's previous work, "Perfect Family", and we can see that her acting here is much improved.
Kang Hoon also shines in this drama, and his chemistry with Juhyun in this drama is amazing, despite there being no romance involved. From their eyes' expressions, how they talk to each other, the chemistry is spectacular.
The best acting would come from Park Yong Woo. His interpretation of a serial killer AND a father who "loves" his daughter -- up to the point that he wants her to be with him and to be like him -- is stunning, amazing and scary.
The child actresses -- Shin Yeon-woo as Eun-seo, Shim Ji-yu as little Se-hyun (past Se-eun) and Kim Kyu-na as present Se-eun -- are also amazing.
Plot moves very fast, yes, it was a bit repetitive in the earlier episodes, with Se-hyun kept on making mistakes and always being overpowered by her father, but it gets better, especially in the last 4 episodes.
The ending is satisfying and is crafted nicely to avoid an "abrupt" ending, which usually happens in most KDramas.
There's questions that didn't answer after finishing this dramaWhy did his ex wife leaves eunho?Is byeol even…
byeol is his real daughter. from what i understand, byeol's mom had some kind of baby blues depression, which is so severe leading to her despising and hating her own daughter. this usually happens to young mothers and if its left untreated, it may be dangerous to the child due to the risk of abuse etc.
so the father decided to raise the daughter alone to ensure the safety of the child.
