I don't want to believe DS killed someone there is still a chance the detective and DS was unconscious after they fall and that SIW uses this opportunity to kill the detective and make DS believes it was his doing... 3 things make me think that : 1. There was a camera watching the stairs ( we can see it when DS didn't come by the entrance )
2. Somehow it feels strange to not see SIW's réactions because he loves to control things so I'm sure he was watching.
3. And with DS's luck I can't picture him ending like a murderer... + I find it strange how thé detective was straight dead and how DS doens't seem like he drinks alcoohol ( because Time passed but we feel like it was a short moment )
I think there will be a flashback later or perhaps the cameras will be the key

That's funny because I read the opposite elsewhere ( sung hoon not fitting his role and Shi yoon seems more psychopath than the real one sometimes ) ^=^ In my opinion both are great and their characters suit them well !

Yeah you bet he will ends up ( or at least have romantic feeling )toward Bo Kyung when he have a cute lady at work and a hot serial killer after him >~< !

I still want to believe it è_è I'm twisted xD

Yay suuuure he has emotions toward the cop but DS is his true love and he doesn't know it yet ( é_é I'm talking like a weirdo )

I know how he will be saved and don't worry it's still hyper funny like always but you're not so far of the truth lol one hint : hyungnim !!!

Oh not circle but duel ! My mistake. I didnt watch Circle but I don't know why I am thinking duel is circle

True ! And in children of a lesser god and in Circle too so my hopes are high !!

Yes he looks like a kid trying to show off how much he is tough especially when at episode 2 he walks in the street and thought " I'm sure there are monsters in the world, but none as bad as I am " and pull his jacket like he is so proud of himself ( so cute ! ). The drama is so good but it's even more when Dong Shik and In woo interact together !

I'm still thinking there will be more bromance between them because of the misunderstandings xD Perhaps Seo will think DS wants to cover him ? Or he will thinks he is an undercover cop and tried to kill him again but will fail surely ? Or he will meet the gangster neighbor and thinks DS is a chief of gangsters :') lol

I hope the drama will keep this pace it's so good and when DS reproduces movies's moments it's so well done !! Personnally I hope the misunderstand will last because often in a drama when the misunderstand is solved it becomes boring... I love how he takes the bad guys down with sweet smiles.

I have a question : I'm the only one who thinks DS will change in a good way Seo In Woo ? I know he is a psychopath but it's a drama and he seems to not be so cold-hearted than I thought he would be ? So I keep my hopes high and I don't say he will have a nice ending because he must pay for his crimes but I would love to see for once a bad guy who repents himself before the end... In my opinion he just needs a friend and DS is there for him <3

A drama with the comedy of errors (misunderstanding ) + a lucky mainlead where we wonder if he is clever or just dumb I could recommend " Chief Kim "+ the realtion between Dong Shik and Seo reminds me Sung Ryung and Seo Yool ( a lot of bromance and funny moments between them and it starts off with a misunderstanding too ).

My fellow citizens too was not bad but it's not on the same level.

With dark comedy : Prison Playbook was fun too and with a lot of likeable characters !

I picked Up a start on the road in fun ( in my opinion ) and the mainlead too is lucky because she doesn't get in trouble even when she kidnapped someone lol

With Yoo Shi Yoo ( who plays Dong Shik ) with an almost similar role : Your honor (the pace is slow but I found his character so likeable and sweet because he takes his brother place but instead of being a jerk he is sweet and that remind me DS who thought he is the serial killer sohe takes his place but in fact he is sweet ).

You're not the only one !!! .^. I talked about it on dramanice a few hours ago lol It's because Dong Shik plays the dumb guy but is really clever actually like Dexter and Dexter was killing only bad peoples(and honestly I found Dexter sweet too with his smiles even if he was a serial killer) . This drama reminds me Dexter and the main character and his sensei in psycho mob (because the mc seems weak but is in fact strong and his sensei is a big liar but he has always luck to get out of problems lol )

The misunderstanding is so funny ! xD
And it is pretty fast ( and good ) how the serial killer thought about DS like a buddy and then he thinks DS is threatening him it was hilarious !! I think in the next episode he will either believe DS is an undercover cop or he will admire him again because perhaps if he sees him with Bo kyung he will thought that DS is more cunning than he thought ( but in fact it's just a sweet guy with bad/good luck ? xD )

In my opinion DS will never kill someone because the first moment of the drama was when he was arrested and they said he comitted 7 murders ( 6 from the diary + one which I think is the rich guy and not the homeless guy because the police thought it was a suicide ).

But I love his psycho's moments *^* Like you said it is really interesting how the thriller and comedy work well together for now !

Yes in my opinion the first half was good when they were awakening others characters and tried to change the story ! It was fun and there were a lot of mystery especially about Haru who was special in my eyes and like you said they played with the cliché at first so it was interesting but what a pity they become the cliché itself...

In the second half all the characters I found enjoyable was less enjoyable or odious to watch ( except Lee Do Hwa <3 ) and the story didn't go on and it was boring and cheesy but at least I was hoping to have answers at the end but finally not really ! And the character I was curious about aren't even in the end ( where is LEE DO HWA for example ??? ) and okay they explained it a little with the " all characters aren't draw all the time " but it's just a pity not even have a little moment at the end with some characters... I was really awaiting it like maybe in his next character he doesn' t play the violin anymore but hates it without knowing why for example ?

And what a shame I find that a lot of characters are not aware of themselves. The drama was not bad but I feel like something in the second half/ at the end was lacking. But a lot of dramas are like that, the start is really good but when comes explanation it's really draggy and finaly it's not clear.

Yes I'm happy to see I'm not the only one to think the drama was kind of stuck up for severals episodes ( who seemed an eternity to me ).

" I also miss the 'mistery unveiling' pace in which it started (I wanted to see more characters becoming self-aware and discovering more about the rules of the world of comics they live in); and the changes in the relationship between Juda, Namju and Dohwa with all of then being self-aware. "

---> I feel you, I was really waiting for that it was kind of sad to see the " main characters " not awakened because we know they don't act because they want to and I was curious too about how the relaltionships between all of them would grow up but now I think it's too late for that so I'm sad... Really there are a lot of drama with potential wasted and it's a shame. And I can't say I hate this drama because frankly the first half was really perfect to me but the second half was just a nighmare (thanks to the love triangle...).

I miss the funny scenes too and it becomes too much dramatic to me, I really prefered when they focus to how to change the story + It's was so smart to use the " cliché " plots on stage and change their meaning in the shadows I think it was one of the thing who made me fall in love with this drama ! Well, we will see how the ending turns out ;(

I think the characters in this drama lost their consistency in the second half but I'm not really surprised because most dramas tend to be like that...
- Dan Oh was strong and funny in the first half but now she cries practically all the time ( I mean in the first half she cried too but it was on " stage " and when she was in the shadows she was so funny for example when she cried on stage and then laugh )

- Haru was the quiet and mysterious guy and frankly I prefered him like this because he seemed more special but now I don't know he is not the same...

- Squid fairy seemed to be the wise one and I was waiting for him to change his mind and helps DO and H but no he is just stuck up from the beginning and he becomes kind of annoying to me. And I have a lot of example like when the " false " Haru picked up his book ( 1. Why he is taking the book everywhere with him if he doesn't want others to see it ? And why he is so obvious with the " You take it in purpose " against Haru ?? Dude do you really want to hide the truth or what ? He seemed like a kid sometimes who want to hide something from his parents lol )

- I will not talk about BK but it's obvious he lost his charm too.

Anyway I'm talking a lot but I will end on this : Do Hwa is the only one who seem consistent to me and I'm really fond of his character, the only one who is not a disappointment.

Crossed fingers for the happy ending and yes the trio in the guest was really good ( and one of the rare dramas who had a good end in my opinion ! ).

Yes ! I don't understand why the drama turns out like that ??? In my opinion the first half was the best and then it concentrated too much on the love triangle and I just can't understand this choice... A lot of dramas focus on that and lost their good points.

Why suddenly they stop to change the future and the storyboard dissapeared ? It was so interesting, I really thought it was really good because I thought they would continue to change things and wake up other characters ! Like you know when at first the main character is alone but little by little others characters joins hands and things get better. And I found it super original the way it was done when they should act like they characters on stage but in the shadows they are not really like their characters, I was thinking maybe that would been interesting if Nam Joo and Joo da " wake up " and was in fact not in love at all, was bothering by their roles or even was in fact all the contrary of their characters ( for example Joo da would been a bad girl and so on lol )

And I just can't understand the characters sometimes. Two characters who pissed me off : Baek Kyung obviously because he was oen my favorite character and I was hoping he turns out to be a sweet man in fact and not a jerk like his character .
The second character who pissed me off is Dried Squid Fairy, I liked him at first too but finally he is just useless and even more he just leads good peopels in bad choices... Seriously was he not the one who reveals to Dan Oh she was in a book ? But afterward he doesn't want her to know more ?? (What ??? ) and tried badly to hide the truth and do illogicals actions ? ( why didn't he burnt the book before ? At first I thought the bood couldn't be destroyed and reappeared each time but it was not the case for the previous story... and the guy didn't see they was some papers from the book still left ?? ) And all along he tried to scare DH and Haru but it's not well done because his characters is too much obvious and I think he should have given a concret warning and not just repeat the same thing over and over and stay unclear.

AND WHAT HE DOESN'T REVEAL ANYTHING TO DH AND HARU BUT IN FRONT OF BK HE SAID YOU CAN STOLE A CHARACTER'S AWARENESS !? Dude are you serious ??? It was obvious BJ would kill DH in the shadows because he wants her to stay in her character and loves him you dumbass -_-

If the ending it's just " we will meet in another story " I will be really bitter about this drama... I will try to think about good thing like Lee Do Hwa, Haru and Dan Oh's moments ( they are so sweet together why they have less moments all together ??? I really love when in a drama a trio works together like in the guest )

I bet on the guy who was watching from afar BJ and the Lawyer at the beginning of episode 3. I think the story took another way, I don't know what happened... I am still feeling like BJ was not supposed to be the main culprit ( I was really feeling at first like he was covering someone ) or perhaps someone knew from the start he was the murderer and wanted to avenge the victims but that feel really rushed. Or perhaps I miss something but I really want to know who was it at episode 3 ?? I don't think it was Gi Hoon.

I think it's weird because at first they had " Father - Daughter " vibes and now they are hits of romance and I still don't understand what it is so great about the romance ? I think the Father/daughter relationship would have been more meaningful and even more if his son would end up with her later for example.
But I won't lie, they have chemistry it's just that I can't picture them together because of their past ( I was glad she found a real father so it's weird to me to think about him differently, not because of the age gap but because it was sell at first like Father/Daughter relationship).
Anyway TVN's dramas are rarely in my taste, often I found the characters quite bland and it's true the cinematography is beautiful but the story is just in a loop... But well it's my opinion and there are surely a lot who like it so enjoy, they are indeed good actors !
