So you're telling me that prosecutor couldn't figure out the last four digits when he had a list of so many combinations.…
The wife's birthday ended up being Tae Jin's numbers -- so he didn't even have his own four numbers correct -- this part wasn't explained though (how Jun Seo changed it?). So the guy in prison only got it partially right. The last four digits that were Jun Seo's would only be known to the four Audiophile friends.
Why the recommendation section has Beyond Evil? Is it same disturbing?? I'm not in a mood for that
It is similar in that both are crime dramas and both are trying to figure who the real murderer is. But it's not as psychological as Beyond Evil. The themes and motivations in Connection are around greed, corruption, revenge, and friendship, with lots of terrible people doing their own bad thing, but I wouldn't really call it disturbing in the same way as Beyond Evil.
I thought they did a surprisingly good job untangling the crazy plot threads and tying up all the loose ends, except for one thing: they didn't explain how the main characters knew Tae Jin didn't even get his own 4 numbers correct/how Jun Seo changed Tae Jin's numbers, or how the other guy knew that four of the numbers was the wife's birthday?
It just started airing yesterday, i always thought it usually it takes a couple of days before they start showing…
I don't know then! I feel like there's usually some kind of algorithm going on. Like maybe it appears faster if the number of reviews hits a minimum threshold but slower if it doesn't, unless x number of days have passed since the premiere? 🤷🏻♀️Reviews definitely don't show up under the actual "Reviews" section until later, even if you can read them when you click on the link at the top.
Curious, in the novel, is Alen Fang finally playing a character that gets a happy ending? Fang Yilun's basically like ... 1(?) for 100 so far on the Happily Ever After chart, lol. Please use spoiler tag, thank you! (Edit: Updated from 0 to 1 😅🤣)
This isn't that kind of drama... Read the show's summary—Ji Chang Wook's character dies. They even tell you…
As I told a friend, JCW is solid here, and he's in nearly every episode. So if you want to appreciate and see him in something very different, Queen Woo is a good watch. But if you really just want to see him in his more typical leading man roles, then this is not it, and you won't be missing anything.
So, maybe my brain is just really slow, but were we supposed to figure out who really poisoned the King through the various clues or was that never answered?

No. This is loosely based on actual historical events, so it is as the synopsis describes - she picks one of the King's brothers. Eul Pa So is the prime minister. This isn't really a romance in the typical K-drama sense (although the Queen's back story with JCW can be considered romantic). It's really a dark and gritty political intrigue involving a zillion factions fighting for power and one badass woman's brilliant and strategic efforts to rise above them all.
yes, give this guy a solid full length drama to lead! He can out-act a number of the top male actors out there.
I've never heard of quotas for specific genres, but studios/agencies can make their actors do dramas the company might be producing/investing in -- so some talented actors might end up always acting in duds, or certain types of dramas, or only starring in dramas their agency is involved in, for example. Their contracts are often really long too and not that easy to get out of (they can't afford the cost of terminating the contract), which can also be frustrating if an actor feels like their agency isn't treating them well (e.g. prioritizing the stars in their roster and ignoring others, or pushing one up and coming talent over another). And if there's conflict between the two sides, agencies can basically freeze your career until the contract is over. I believe that's essentially what happened with Song Weilong, Sebrina Chen, and some others. (A friend wrote a great deep dive that looks at some of these contracts. https://wuulongcha.wordpress.com/2023/03/05/the-rabbit-hole-c-actress-jiang-jia-en-is-mia/) The lucky ones who had a good agency or good relationship or the ones who have gotten big enough, etc. might create their own studio within or outside the company once their contract is up, which gives them much more creative control to pick and choose (Xiao Zhan, Wu Lei, for example.)
