WOW, just WOW! It was a LOOOOONG time ago when a Korean or any crime drama surprised me this much with the writing. There's not much I can complain about, not even the detective work.

Here's my spoiler free review! I'm really critical with crime stories, so hats off writer-nim!!!👏👏👏

There's not much here without Go Hyun Jung other than a messy script. It started out really well, like the Korean Hannibal, but then it became some batshit crazy story that doesn't know what it wants to be. The ending was just unnecessary honestly. The second half was basically a redemption arc, but why? A serial killer don't deserve that doesn't matter what her motive was or what happened in the past. You can't find out who's the killer, because I don't think the writer knew till the last couple of episodes. Madness. It was fun, but there's not much reality in it, and the police are as useless as ever.

The tree is worth 500M and it's not that hard to cut it down. You just need a couple of workers. No one would ask anything because she's the wife.😅

Sarah, obviously. That scene meant she won even if she's in prison, basically.

They did, and it was missing, which is why they couldn't sentence her as Sarah. Also, the missing kidney is never gonna prove she's Sarah because she used a different name, and they can only sentence Sarah or Minjeong.

BTW, use spoiler please.

It doesn't matter who Sarah Kim is at all, she's not important! Why? Because that's not the point. This was a well-written story with great acting, but if you can't look beyond the expensive "Boudoir", you're never gonna understand the meaning.

My full review.

The only sexist here is you. The detective literally let the old CEO woman go even though she was guilty as well. So even your short "review" is flawed in multiple ways.

To be honest, it's not always the actors' fault rather than the director. Also, it doesn't help if the script is lacking. I haven't watched this show yet, not sure if I ever will, but based on what I've read it's too much cliche, feels like a copy and paste character and way too predictable.

For me, I don't care about clishes if it's done right, but with fantasy dramas, if the characters are not likable it's already a flop. Especially if the chemistry is not good enough. These two things carry fantasy or simple romcoms 99% of the time.

Exactly why I said if we start taking this story seriously, I would've dropped it after episode 2. Before she obtained custody, she didn't have a job if I'm correct.

No sane person would let her take care of a child even if she's the aunt. To be honest, I don't expect much from this drama, this is just a lighthearted typical fun not a complex well-written drama about loss and the hardships of a parent.

I don't remember watching any Kdrama that had a story like this. Every drama I've seen about single parents didn't delve into deep why this is the hardest job. This is a too complex story for most Kdrama lovers so writers only scratch the surface.

Yeah, I know, I didn't mean it literally. I'm sure most Korean companies provide childcare, especially big ones like BS Food or whatever its name is. What a name, btw.😅

Maybe it's for the full-timers, the story doesn't really mention these important topics. That's why I said she should find a nursery, but with that the main story is pretty much done and dusted, no conflict at all.

Yes, it's understandable but she doesn't have anyone who could help her so she should put her career aside till the kid is old enough.

Yes, that's why I called SML a Red Flag, the only reason he hired her because he's still in love with her. Even if SML won't be jealous other people can find out at work and she could be in big trouble.

I don't think ML's new job is compromised, I'm sure the boss lady is going to understand. I mean, she didn't say a bad word even though he arrived with the kid. Yes, you're right, ML would drop the job for the kid, but I don't think FL would do that. Also, ML already has a full-time job, no? He's basically on parental leave.

Yeah, I like it too, but the minute you start thinking about the story it's droppable.

I see people arguing about who's the better parent, so here's my opinion:

ML is handling the baby much better, because he doesn't have a job yet. Sure, the kid ended up in the hospital, but let's not act as if we can protect kids from everything. Kids will get hurt even if you watch them 24/7. I know because I raised my nephew and niece for years while my sister was working, because I work at home. To be honest, ML and FL are lucky because it's easier to take care of a 2 year old than a younger one.

FL takes on a huge responsibility even though she can barely survive alone. What ML said was harsh but it was 100% true. Not to mention she shouldn't lie about the kid. I mean, what's the point of hiding the fact that she has to raise her nephew? If she would tell the truth her ex-lover wouldn't force her to work till 9PM or longer. She's so freakin' dumb.

The problem with this show is that it's unrealistic, so if anyone wants to look beyond the cuteness, they would drop it after 2 episodes because the writing isn't that good.

I know Koreans are workaholics, but the whole concept of the show is destined to fail, because if ML doesn't come up with his plan to live there for a month, who would help FL to raise the kid? That dumbass neighbor who almost burned down the building? Or the SML who's a walkin HUGE RED FLAG? BTW it was so obvious he's the landlord as well. That's so insane and lazy writing. He was introduced as some genius Manager or whatever his role is, yet he didn't hire a real landlord who can help people? What the heck?

My other problem with this story is that he keeps taking her home while she already had a "controversy" at the job, and when people find out about their past she's gonna be fired. I bet my whole house it's gonna happen soon.

So, in short: ML is doing a good job because he's jobless, but soon he's gonna work as well. FL is not that great because she doesn't know how to take care of herself either, and she's also want a full-time job. So this begs the question: Why did she want to raise Wooju? What she needs to do is a part-time job, or find a nanny or a nursery. I don't even understand why they didn't do that yet.

Anyway. Like I said before, if you think too much you're gonna drop this show faster than Wooju poops in his pants.😂

A good story is 100% about writing skills and not about length. This isn't a typical Kdrama, it's a crime thriller so there's no need for fillers. If anything, fillers ruin the flow of a story.

This is basically like two 2 hour long movies. For a well-written crime story it's perfect.

The funny thing is, with 16 episode dramas with 60 min length the most common critique is it's dragged for no reason.😅

This is the problem, to be honest. Kdrama isn't just "brain off" stories with cute puppies and kissing scenes. There is a LOT of drama with well-written and complex stories. It's just that most people want the same old cute romcoms. I don't mind that either but if I only watched this type of drama I would've stopped watching Kdramas many years ago. 😂

I prefer more mature, complex stories where I need to think a bit or more. I only watch typical Kdramas when I just want to chill.

It's not better on Netflix either. TOP10 only in 7 countries and in the first week had 2M views and now it's only 1.2M. Fantasy romcoms are not that popular anymore, especially if it's not well-written.

Yeah, but you can only see Kopiko in smaller budget dramas. At least I don't think I've seen any in Streaming Originals.

I kind of miss these small details in dramas like hair drying or other daily life routines.

Hairdryers extinct like Kopiko or Subway ads. Not that I miss those two.😂

Yeah, I don't expect anything but cuteness and some random crazy fun.

Never said it would save her, but if you dry your hair you have a much better chance of not getting sick.

Also, I forgot one thing. Koreans love the sauna. They could've just gone there.

Yeah, hot water isn't only for bathing, but as a kid we had a lot of times when my mom had to boil water so we could bathe.

You don't know how a hairdryer can be useful? She washed her hair with cold water, but that doesn't mean she can't dry her hair. I washed my hair with cold water many times and I still used a hairdryer. So, not sure what you mean.
