I know this is just a drama but I find it very heartbreaking to know that the Gye-young character is being kidnapped and murdered -- and that she had a chance to survive but didn't because of the stupidity of the people in the neighbourhood.
I hate the people, especially the old ahjussi who drove the pickup car and met the little girl when she was trying to escape the killer. No matter how tired you are, you are not supposed to just leave a little girl in the middle of the night, especially after she specifically pleaded for help. OMG, it's really boiling my blood that I don't want to continue watching the drama anymore!!!!
It doesn't help that Ahn Sebin is one of my favourite actresses, and tbh I started watching this drama because of her. Seeing her character die in this drama breaks my heart.
Can anyone give me the ending?? I watched till ep 11 i think and it got too boring for me to continue.. but i…
ending summary:
- the young FL was also kidnapped together with the ML's sister. the young FL managed to escape but the sister was killed. - the link was because the sister asked the young FL to pass the message to the ML but was never delivered because the FL had amnesia after the incident. - the message was for the ML not to feel guilty about his sister's death, that it's not his fault. - the FL finally remembered but the killer also noticed and almost killed her before the ML came to the rescue. - the FL passed the message to the ML, which caused the link to find its purpose and the link then disappeared. - the police managed to get the killer to reveal the location of the sister's body and found the father's body at the same place - giving the ML and his mom closure. - the ML and FL then get back together as a normal couple without the link anymore.
regarding the major question asked by many: what was the motive/reason why ML's sister was kidnapped and killed - it was never explained throughout the story.
but if you ask my personal opinion, I think the reason is quite obvious, on a case of kidnapping and murder of a young girl without any ransom request, usually the reason is sexual assault-related. furthermore, another girl (the FL when she was young) almost became a victim as well. I can't think of another possible reason based on the circumstances - they just decided not to make it explicit since that would make the drama even darker, since child sexual abuse is a sensitive and disturbing topic.
I watched this drama when it was airing but I forgot something. Why did the kidnapper kidnap his sister?
other than the fact that the sister was kidnapped and murdered, the exact reason was never explained. but i think it's quite obvious, on a such case of kidnapping and murder of a young girl without any ransom request, usually the reason is sexual assault related. furthermore, another girl (the FL when she was young) almost became victim as well. can't think of another possible reason based on the circumstances - they just decided not to make it explicit since that will make the drama even darker.
- a very confusing storyline with many flashbacks, many of them repetitive- amazing action scenes -- this is the…
- some of the scenes are too gory and brutal for me, might not be everyone's cup of tea - i found episode 2 is the best episode of all (kudos to the talented young actress ahn sebin for delivering an amazing performance) - in overall, first half of the drama is good with tension being built up, but then it went downhill on the second half of the drama, with disappointment over the last episode
- a very confusing storyline with many flashbacks, many of them repetitive - amazing action scenes -- this is the main good thing about this drama - very open ending with the main villain (bale) not in the finale at all, disappointing to some viewers - good acting performances by almost everyone (main and supporting cast)
btw how is this a parent story of the killer's shopping list, what piece did i miss?
no connection except of the 2 actors featured in both dramas and from what i know, both dramas are based on novels written by the same author. that's all. no connection in term of storyline at all.
Park Ji Bin is not the only actor who showed up in The Killer's Shopping List. Ahn Se-bin also was in the drama as Yul, the abused daughter of the killer.
This was a good drama. I know it's meant to be on comedic side.But how the hell Kim Myung Joon was able to do…
it seems that in korea, it's common for a kid to stay in hospital by their own when they are hospitalised. so the nurses are taking care of them.
same with the facts that korean kids around lower primary age (8-10) are already left independent alone by themselves at home or outside when their parents are busy working.
but I am not too sure about this myself, though, whether it's only in drama or also in real life. 🤣
Love you on The Killer's Shopping List and the recent A Shop For Killers. You have the required talents to be a great actress when you grow up. Hope to see you in more projects soon!
I have watched until episode 6 so far. After understanding the reason why Jian's family is being targeted, I can't help but hate and despise the Jinman character. Yes, the ML, the uncle.
Because of him, Jian lost her father, mother and grandmother. Because of him, Jian was also targeted to be killed even when she was still young. She had to jump from a fourth-floor apartment (and get hit by a van in the process) to avoid being killed by the mercenaries. To make it worse, she was also targeted when she was in the hospital, and she had to flee to the morgue and hide beside her mom's corpse!! Seeing the little girl hugging her mom's dead body while hiding from her attacker breaks my heart.
She also experienced the aphasia / mute issue due to the traumatic incidents and her uncle did nothing to help her -- such traumatic incident needs psychological counselling FGS. Instead, he trained and groomed her to be like him.
If he didn't show up at the family's home, little Jian would have lived a happy life with her parents.
