Great build up for thriller and mystery. My jaw dropped at the police station scene. My theory was human experiment or something and every person around him is fake (like Ba Reum from Mouse) but then the last hospital scene was kinda meh coz I believed he was innocent. He looked like a kind soul when he was 21. Even when the situation was bad for him, he had backed out and did not want all of that but it just happened. One thing leads to another when he was overwhelmed with fear and anxiety and people keep screaming. He was anyway living the house quietly.
I really wanted to see a follow up on the court scene as he ran away mid-way in the hearing.
And the market fight scene when he buys fish, I was like there were zero CCTV cameras? No one came out to testify who actually started fight? That's ridiculous.
They didn't even bother to show him trying to communicate with cops that he did not start the fight.
I always enjoy Song Joon Ki's work. The plot was an interesting take on the North Korean detector plot. Although…
That's a wonderful rewrite! Maybe they could meet in the same location (laundry room) where she notices a familiar building in the picture in his hands and tries to wake him up / take him to doctor as his clothes were soaked and he can definitely be sick given the cold weather.
And yes, I also kept wondering why he didn't fly to South Korea instead of Brussels in the whole first half or so. The language (& expensive city) is the real struggle.

Nicely built up plot in first half and plenty of action and long climax in second half. But one character is dead. Although I was not fond of his character, it came as shock. Especially if he really whispered "I want to live" I suddenly hoped for him to appear in next scene living a normal life with new identity. Hence 9/10
I can't help but keep thinking about what he whispered before his last breath.
Also, love how FL is not really a damsel in distress. She was terrified but brave enough to pick up gun and shoot. Plus, she freed many of the locked girls and cared for both male leads.
ughhh I hate he died it’s too predictable I wish we found out why they broke up etc and bit a more plot lol…
exactly! My interest piqued to know their backstory? Like why did he say something like "I won't disappoint you again/second time' Give us some more background even if it's just 5 minutes
He was such a precious soul in Search drama with a naturally handsome and warm aura that I checked him and just realised he is also the male lead in 'The Priest' and "'Just Friends'. No wonder I felt his smile looks familiar. Priest is a memorable (and sort of favourite) drama for me for that jaw dropping twist.
I have been watching dramas from last 5 years. Just DON'T watch this. It's really bad.
Should have read this before! 🥲 I don't think I ever took like 4 days to complete 5 episodes. I hate how the scenes keep going back and forth in first 3-4 episodes. Second and most important, it's too predictable hence the thrill, mystery, suspense that they're are trying to build is non-existent.

Then I finished ep 6-10 in like 3 hours by fast forwarding and watching on 1.75x, my heart broke for Yong Dong Jin's father and mother.
8.0 is the overall rating so can't say it's overrated. But I felt it's exaggerated and supernatural at it's peak maybe. The fight in the end was something I didn't expect at all. It's a good one time watch.
If not for the starting 5 minutes or so of father-son moments, I might have dropped it at some point.
I feel both hero and villain lacked some depth in the character. Maybe it's the type and duration. If it was drama with 8-12 episodes, they could develop the character arcs of hero and villain more and relationship with Father Ahn and hero better.
Right! both hero and villain lacked depth in the character. Maybe it's the type and duration. If it was drama with 8-12 episodes, they could develop both character arcs and relationship with Father Ahn and hero better.
Okay a general overview is the drama is one of the most consistent horrors I have watched. It is definitely a…
Him being alive felt like a failed seal. The moment he stabbed his eye, I believed he won't come back alive then is still alive, that's the protagonist halo.
If they wanted to keep him alive, their should have been some other end (burning the body since burning the bird worked in ep2). There was no follow up on Park Il Do's body.
I couldn't help but think about that coz of the doctor.
Good movie and acting but the whole struggle could be avoided or reduced by choosing different location.

One time watch if you are in mood for horror / father-daughter relationship but don't have time for a full length 16 episode drama.
