If you do not know yet I advise you to wait until next week because all the episodes will be out.

If you like mystery and characters with secrets you will perhaps like it it is kind of hard to tell. I find it entertaining but it is not the kind of drama I will remember I think. And a lot of characters are irritating but sometimes it is because we do not know their actual purposes so it is hard to tell if there are doing something good or bad...

edit : This drama seems like a mixture of " Hell is other people", "Mr.Temporary/class of Lies " and " 365 : repeat the years " to me. But it is not the same level of course

Yeah somehow I was expecting something else too

For example I thought the serial killer would betray the grandpa and kill him; that would have been satisfacting to watch than just wrap up everything in a mere 5 minutes like seriously he arrested the serial killer in one minute and then the grandpa the minute after ?? Somehow I was expecting a " butterflies's effect " with the fact the detective saved the serial killer in thi timeline so the serial killer would have a change of heart and helps him at the end but noo they just give us the cliché ending...

I agree with nonsensical but I do not find this drama boring so far, I like stories with characters who are linked between them without the viewers knowing it from the start (Like " 395 repeat the year " for example). I think we should not believe the cover of the book (for example whe learnt suddently the detective already knew the victim since two years, Miss Lee since a long time ago because the kid always makes trouble and the upstair guy ? ) because there will be a lot of twists I just hope there will not be a twist like the good guy is in fact the murderer. This drama gives me feels of " Hell is other people " (because most of the character are creep and " Mr.Temporary"because of the similarity with the victim's story but with an hints of humour sometimes misplaced but I like it because it is not always tense like in " Hell is other people " or "Mr.temporary"

But just I do not like the tricks Miss Lee is using she has surely a good reason but it is a pain in the ass to watch the police be tricked like this. At least the detective seems clever but the others ones are just ignorant I am tired just watching them

I do not understande why you think it is Oh Ji Heok who exposed her ^^' And he was watching her at the end because he was worried about her and she happened to have a seizure because that show she is linked perhaps by blood with the evangelist ( he had the same kind of seizure )

Oh JI Hyeok is secretly investigating someone higher up, the real culprit behind the murders in 2015 who lost his watch ( the same Ji Hyeok purchased and is wearing on purpose to find the killer and the people who help him/her to cover it up ) so I think he was not able to help her directly. I wonder if Oh Ji Heok is not also the one who send clues to Do Chang ?

Same, I watched Tunnel 3 years ago and I am still checking it sometimes... Okay there were a lot of clichés but the characters were so great and their way of mixing serious moments/ with funny moments make me miss this... I want to discover it once again but it is not like the first time of course.
(Same for Life On Mars )

Yes I prefer too the 12 episodes format than 16 because often with 16 the last episodes are fillers because they already talk about everything

Yes the first episode is good I already like the main characters I hope it will stays as good

edit : And I am really happy to see Jo Hee Bong plays the team's leader again that really reminds me Tunnel especially when the team does not want to work with the young cop and the young cop is kind of the quiet perceptive type like Kim Seon Jae in Tunnel

Yes this is it ! I think that is why I think it is perfect for an adaptation there are a lot of twists who reminds me asian dramas's twist but I want to see them with a dramatic vibes haha

Dexter was like one of those series I will never forget and to me an adaptation can not replace the original version but I find it interesting to see even so and yeah asian dramas are great with thriller most of the time !

I think it depends to me for example I was not fond of the adapation of Suits... But I really liked Life On Mars and it was a great surprise (I remember I saw it on the " coming soon " drama's list and by curiosity I checked to see if it was indeed an adaptation or something else and now after watching it I hope they would adapt " ashe to ashe " too who explain the purgatory thing in Life on Mars )

What was really interesting with Dexter is how the character was likeable when you know he was a serial killer perhaps because he was killing only killers or bad people ? Or perhaps because of what he saw when he was a baby and so you know why he is like this ? Like he is " mess up " but try to control himself and that is why he obeys hi adoptive's father's advices about how he must use his killing's envy against bad people if he can not control himself

I think it really interesting when a character is " grey" not really good or bad but really human

Yes that would be great !

I just thought about " Heaven " too, I do not know if you know about it because it is old too : " When FBI Special Agent Audrey Parker is dispatched to the small town of Haven, Maine, on a routine case, she finds herself becoming increasingly involved in the return of "The Troubles", a plague of supernatural afflictions that have occurred in the town at least twice before. "

What is intersting in this serie was the fact some people in the town get suddently a unique power regarding their hobbys/way of living + and Audrey Parker is also linked to all of this (well I do not want to spoil it but there were intersting twists so I think it would be great as a Kdrama)

I think I want to see a lot of remake in korean dramas because I want to see how they handle some aspect and I am really fond of korean version most of the time I find it really interesting

I never watched Outlander but a friend explain to me how great the book are so I think I will read it to try !

As a remake as a korean drama I really want to see " Dexter " ( well there are dramas close to this like Kill it but I did not like it and coming soon " flower of evil " but I means really a drama where the main character is a cop + a serial killer of bad guys )

And " My name is Earl" where a guy wins the loto, lost his ticket in a car's accident and because of that he questions his way of living. Then he makes a list with all the people he wronged and decides to find them and help them in order to " heal " his karma) The serie is about how the karma can impact your life and I think a remake as a korean drama would be really funny to see I think. I do not think it would be especially popular but it would give some frash air7

Edit : The remake I did not expect was " Life on Mars " I watched it years ago ( the british version ) and when I saw the korean version I was so delighted !

I think it is the first time where I will drop a drama because it becomes too much frustrating to watch : usually I still watch fully a drama even if I do not like it but here it is really hard to continue any further.

I thought it would be a funny drama where characters would be after the money at first but gradually become better persons but in fact not at all and it becomes worse. I think the only character I liked was the smart nephew because he was not after the money but at some point it was ridiculious how he does not noticed the lawyer is fake ? From the get go he knew this woman was a conwoman when he saw her stealing the suitcase and she makes a lot of mistakes with the laws so how comes he is blind about her half of the drama ???

I will explain because the resume is not fully right :

- The grandma indeed " abandoned her family 50 years ago " (or more like she ran away because she was raped by her husband's bestfriend and then her husband and mother-in-law were abusing her because they thought she had an affair, it is really despicable and I just do not understand how they can include the man who raped her in "comical "'s moments like he is part of the family just WTF!? )

The grandma will return in Korea because she is sick and wants to give her money to the children she had abandonned. However she has also an adoptive son who is secretly after her money with his birth sister (the grandma does not know the birth siter because her adoptive's son was contacted when his birth sister was sick and that is how they reunite).

So in one hand we have the adoptive son and his birth sister trying to manipulate the grandma : the sister pretends to meet her by chance and then becomes her lawyer when she knows NOTHING about the law)

In another hand there are the grandma's birth family : her son, her daughter, her two grandaughters, her grandson and her grandgranddaughter + the son in law and so on.

And so the grandma stars a bunch of tests for them to pass in orter to choose an heir. -

But frankly do not expect something really interesting and dynamic it is just plenty boring and frustracting all along... When you think characters can not be worse it is worser for example the younger sister is also abused by her in-law and her husband like the grandma's story was not enough ? And the adoptive son is just a pain in the ass because he wans always more money and at some point he forces her sister to continue her lies despite the fact he knows she is in love with the smart nephew. When the smart nephew comes to talk to him he keeps thinking he will break his sister's heart ( wtf is this logic dude ? You are the one forcing her to do awful things and you know her lies will have bad consequences with her love so do not blame the smart nephew for broking her heart later it is normal is someone lie to you, you lost trust for this person LOGIC so blame youserlf instead )

I hope so. It is the kind of cliché I like frankly !

Somehow I was expecting Kang Bae would stay in that state a bit longer in order for Weol Joo to talk with the sacred tree about the past and resolve his grudge... I feel like the last episode was not right, it seemed messy I was really awaiting for a badass fight against the evil spirit with the sacred tree + a bittersweet ending with Weol Joo and Mister Gwi being reincarnated. Somehow the drama prepared us for that and usually I am not fond of bittersweet ending but here I think the story would have been better with it because the happy end seemed fake and forced in my point of view (one of the example is how Weol Joo did not know Mister Gwi took her debt and how he come back to " life " like nothing happened was a shame).

But I think I am in fault because when I am watching a drama currently airing I have the habit to get too much excited for the next episode and thinking about how things will end haha I do not know I feel like the moment were not well timed... For example when Weol Joo explained to Mister Gwi he has a son seemed quite off I thought he would learn the news by himself. Or somehow I was expecting a crazy twist like what if Weol Joo already knew from the start Kang Bae was her son and so that is why she makes him work for her to keep him close to her and in fact she saw all his past lives but always failed to save his life ? It would have been so interesting to see Kang Bae's past lifes ! I feel like the drama was perfect except the last episode.

This drama is fun and sweet if you do not seek something serious and if you like the characters. For now I love it it is quite funny it is just a shame they did not make Nan Gil as a lost brother toward Na ri ? That would have been more interesting and focusing on the family aspect than over a useless romance in my point of view because they seem like sibling and I love how Nan Gil plays the father to nargue at her... + I feel like it would be interesting to see a trio brother/sister/potential lover (Nan Gil, Na Ri, Deok Bong); their chemistry are great in my opinion ! Yes it is weird but fun and so far I like the characters even the shitty boyfriend odly ?

I finished Mystic pop up bar and it was so good I want to watch something similar and I fond this drama and After reading your comment I think I will like it !

So like you know I only watched episode 1 and half of episode 2 so far (well more now but still) and I feel like the girlfriend is manipulative the way she asks him help or does not confront him directly is strange. And she avoided him when he asked about meeting her parents...

Then I guess I should continue to see thanks for sharing it ! It can be interesting if she protects him.

Seem like we are watching the same dramas haha ! (Well in the moment I try most of the current dramas because I am bored and kdramas are like a drug to me to thriller me )

I dunno if I will continue this one so please tell me tomorrow if episode 4 is better ?

Yes at least in King Monarch there were more than two main leads but it felt like Yi Gon and Tae Eul was the two super main leads... I think I prefer when the two main lead -and I means in romantic dramas- have less romantic moments together but more " meaningful " than just random moments and I felt that too in King Monarch. Like you said, and you totally found the perfect example, she seems like a second female lead with tricky behaviors...

The story can be so-so or/and cliché as heck I do not care honestly I am more on the " character pulling the story "than the other way around. If I can not empathize with them it is a lost cause.

Mystic pop-up bar was so good I just did not like the last episode because of the editing and because I was awaiting a goodbye scene between them (Happy ending are not always the good ending, I think it would have been more meaningful that way.) But it was really worth it this drama was a bomb really I am still watching some past moments because I am smirking like an idiot knowing they are indeed a family -the underpants moments and their faces haha)

For now I only watched the first episode and a part of episode 2 and I just can't get into the main characters so I want to drop it but I like the supporting characters... However it is really hard to watch because of course the drama is centered around the two main leads so I think I will just drop it ( I will not make the same mistake like with Monarch King when I thought I would end up to like the two main leads ).

I just do not love how they make Choi Dae Hyun 100 % as a pusshover especially when Jung Saet Byul is doing what she wants in his Family's store and when his girlfriend uses him when she needs him.

Jung Saet Byul is too much rude to me with everyone + they add the fact she is after Choi Dae Hyun like a madwoman... It is perhaps sexist to say but I feel like they thought it was okay because it is a girl but to me it is not; I find it a bit creepy especially when you know Choi Dae Hyun is easily manipulate. And a lot of scene are just disturbing when for example she slaps him/punchs him in the face because he was dreaming of his girlfriend ? I know the purpose here is to be funny so I think it is perhaps just not my kind of humor...I dunno. She just seems like an obsessive girl to me who just saw a good looking guy one day and decided he must be hers. I think I would have accepted it if he had done something big for her to move her but he just told her to quit smocking and frankly she is in love with him because of his looks/ first impression of a good boyfriend that is all
