I don't like how they depicte unrecquired love most of time because it is always the nice and loyal guy who knows the FL for much longer than the first ML who is friendzoned... And they should stop with that damn excuse of the character being too dense to notice, no she clearly just ignored him until the end like how the hell she did not noticed he likes her for so long but feel that Be Man has feelings for her ? It could have been nice at least to have a scene where she said something like "Sorry but I don't have the same feelings as yours" but no they go for the "you are such a good friend" easy answer. The guy literally was in prison for a whole year for her and it is her answer ?

Anyways I feel like the romance was unecessary , the leads had chemistry but not that "way" I did not get what attracted them romantically in each other and don't understand the purpose for it except to add fanservice.

Recenty I finished Military Prosecutor Doberman and in the last episodes it was focused on the bullying in the army. The one being bullied lost his mind, took some weapons and killed or gravely harmed his "comrades " (except the one who never bullied him). His sentence was death. This case really moved me because those people who bully don't understand how being bullied (+ in a daily basis) can harm you emotionally and mentally too. The last straw keeping his sanity was broken because the chief of the bully talked about his sick mother (how he will trash her place when he will be release from the military).

Personally I was a bit bullied when I was at school (not in Korea) but it was not that severe (perhaps people would just isolate me or follow me to make fun of me ) and it was already hard so I can't imagine when the case of bullying is much harder.

The answer is to not "put up" with it. It is a grave mistake, I was sick of the mother saying to her son that he must let them be and endure. If you let them do what they want, they will go further away. I don't means violence is the answer though but just firlmy decline their "requests" and seek help because anyways you are already in a tight spot especially if they are violent with you. I think the more painful thing is to see the victim doing nothing about it but it is the hard reality because it asks a lot of courage to stand your ground and you have a lot of chance to have problem if you fight back. Also victims bullied daily will be accoutumed to what they endured and will end up thinking it is how it should be, that they are at fault to be too weak and so on. That is why for example when someone is abused is a relationship they will have a hard time to call for help.

I really feel the bullying topic is everywhere, recently I also finished the game "Lost Judgment" (japanese) and it the main focus was also about bullying and how right and wrong is blurred. At some point there is a guy who kill the ones who bullied in the past and even offer to the victims's families a chance to be part of it. But is it really "just" ? It is the whole question of the game as our detective tries to catch him.

Oh I just watched the end of episode 14 so his sentence is death... I have no words for how disgusted I am but again it was either that or life in prison.

I really felt moved about episode 13 and 14, it always hit different when a nice person lost his mind because of the stress (here because of the bullying) and kill people... That sicken me how the bullies who survived continued to act like before and are even happy to be compensated after being injured, like what the hell ? They pushed an human being so far, they harmed him mentally and pysically so far and this is all that matter for them ? The one bullied will live with the guilt all his life... I think there are no chances for him to heal after that even if the case of bullying is approved by the court, his life is screwed and those shitty excuses of human being think about how they are the victims here ?

I still think there was no need to mention the name of the witness though and even if really there was no other choices at least give the witness some protection after saying his name. The good guys know how rotten the villains are, that did not crossed their mind the witness could be in danger afterward ?

I really think it was just to add an awkward fight with Cha Woo In and add some drama (oh the irony haha) with the witness's testimony( the fact he was bruised to show his speech more dramaticaly). However I still think it was not well played from the writers, the villain could have found out by themselves but not like that because Do Be Man seems really stupid suddently.

Also haha I am stupid too because in the first episodes when there was the flashback with Do Bae Man's parents having the accident I tought "What a shitty way of saying goodbye to your son" when his mother told him her last words because I thought she said "Be a Man" and not his name

Yes I feel that. I know what he did was really wrong and can't be justified (for example how he helped his friend to rape a girl and I think it was not the first time) but at the same time I understand how he ended up like that : his hate/fear for women, his "obsession" for Dorberman (I think, unconsciously, he feels like his mother only saw him like a dog) or his erectil dysfunction (due to his past trauma with his mom). Also he is typically the case of a kid too much sheltered (well financially not with love in this case) that he never had the chance to grow up as a good man or understand how to put himself in other people's shoes. It was really an improvement to see him being empathetic with the guy being bullied.

It is rare but I love when in dramas one of the villain become one of the good guy after being taught some good sense and real love. I also wish dramas would focus more on the root of the abuse, I don"t remember witch dramas it was (perhaps Class of Lies ? ) but I was really dissapointed how only the students were confronted to their abuse and not their parents.

I really think No Hwa Young is Cha Woo In's mother. It is really odd they did not show any picture of her mother or talked about her from the start. I feel like it is pratically confirmed now that No Hwa Young said that their relationship could have been different...That would be the reason why No Hwa Young let Cha Woo In and Do Be Man doing their revenge (and I think Hwa Young wants to take down the other powerful of the army to take their places).

Of course the villain is still a villain and I think it was also for her own benefit but she rised in my esteem when she let Yang Jong Sook testified about how commanding general Hong tried to rape her and then assaulted her... I am sure they will show Hwa Young story at one point and my guess are that she was surely abused by men that is why she is so eager to take them down.

What. I don't understand why Do Be Man revealed he has a witness (episode 9), it was obvious something would happen to the witness after letting the bad guys be aware of his existence... I means the characters were clever so far so I don't understand this silly mistake.

No you are not the only one but people always think because they are from opposite sexe they must end up together... I don't see the romantic attraction at all, they seem like good friends thanks to their common goal.

It is really rare to not see any romantic things when a guy and a girl are involved in a Kdrama . This is why I really loved "The Guest" and Chief Kim for example because it was only friendship all along.

I am at episode 9. I would not call it the best korean drama of all time but it is not bad. I think the big positive side is that all the main characters are clever (except Noh Tae Nam). If you pass the awkward fights from the first episodes it is fine.

I means Noh Tae Nam is evil yes but no wonder after seeing how his mother "take care" of him. I still think monsters are not born but made after traumas...And perhaps the mother also suffered from abuse too, It is endless except if the one being abused don't become a monster too.

Just something I want to know : I suppose the FL is not really terminal ill ? I guess the doctor made a mistake or switched the result with another patient...

It happened to me once after a kidney cancer, hospital said some cancer tumor were back after a check up but they got it wrong with another patient. (how sad to learn you have a cancer after a doctor told you that you are perfectly fine because of a mistake...)

Yeah I think it is just not my cup of tea ^^' or perhaps I am just not in the mood. I know my choice of words were not nice and usually I don't comment like that. I am glad you answered really kindly. "Hate is not the opposite of love but indifference is" so I really feel like I hate this drama because I want to love it (if that makes any sense haha). I will try to go further and see if my opinion will change.

I thought things would be better after knowing the ML was faking amnesia but not at all. I don't find it funny how he makes funny faces behind people's back because he does it ALL THE TIME (people are just blind). Faking his amnesia is a smart move to find who is after his life and who is worth his time (also an opportunity to see his real allies) but he should also investigate a bit more when he is alone, he seems just to" go with the flow ".

Also the FL seems just delusional and histerical at this point : I especially think about the moment where she literally force him to buy her expensive clothes and then make a scene in front of everyone about how he value more money than her. Again not funny just make seem the characters despicable.

I don't like how they talk to the viewers/ camera sometimes. It really feel like a sitcom, just missing the fake laughs...

I think I will stop at episode 5. Somehow I feel like it is too "cheesy-boring" and not the "cheesy-fun" type I wanted... I feel like the drama is just aiming for kids and not adults somehow. I don't mind cliché characters but their goal are quite messy here and I just don't find it interesting. I don't think it is the actors and actress's perfomance because I saw them in other works and they were great but here they are exaggerating their expression a bit too much( and it is really weird to say that because usually I don't mind when it is exaggerated or childhish but in this drama is it just frustrating to watch ...)

I saw it coming when he gave their number to the suicidal people !! The best one so far is when Joon Woong and Joong Gil ended up following people from a cult because they thought it was the real deal 🤣

I wonder if he can move ? He seemed paralysed. My worst fear is to not be able to move but still having all my mind...I don't wish that even for my worst enemy...

I thought exactly the same when I watched the first episodes because most of the characters were so cold and at least Joon Woong (even if he was annoying) showed that he cares about what is going on...

It gets better around episode 6 in my opinion.

I think it works well because they balance each other even if yeah at first I was a bit annoyed because the characters were either too cold or too emotional. You are totally right about how we get used to do something in a daily routine + some grim reapers are really old (300- 400 years old ? perhaps more ? ) so next to them Joon Woong is like a baby. But I am glad he is there because I can relate a lot to him.

The big problem is (especially for me because I am more into a characters driven story than a plot driven story ) if you will warm up to the characters or not. The point really important to me is if there is at least one likeable character I can worry about, feel happy when the character is happy, sad when he is sad, ... If I don't care about anyone it is a sign to not invest my time in a story. Also a question of balance, for example I don't mind a reckless character with a prudent character, a quiet character with a talkative one, a cold one with a warm one, and so on.
