The last two episodes were anticlimatic in my opinion...

Yes, eitheir you watch when it is airing and the good point is how you can make theories and read other theories but you have too wait.

Or either you watch it wholy when all episodes are out but you don't have the fun to guess who is the killer and there is a good chance to be spoiled.... I often do a mix of the two like for example I wait half of the drama to be out to watch haha

Yes I will try ! 😍

The probation officer is a bit annoying, there are funny moments with him but I hate the way he imposes himself and he is always talking to people like they are kids...

I watched the episodes again because it is so good ! I noticed some things that I did not the first time :
-There is a moment the ML proposed to lend his jacket, the FL asked if he has anything underneath and when he answered "yes" she refused (was she expecting to see his nake torso lol ?).

-In a flashback when ML was chatting with FL, ML's father "grab" him quite violently so I think the father is violent and that is why the mother left ? The ML's father even made a comment about how FL's parent are lucky to have a childlike her, bringing money, he seems to see his child like a proprety . The funny thing is how he said "I wonder what our son will grow up to" and ML became a lawyer.

I am usually team no romance but in this Kdrama the leads have a lot of chemistry

Exactly I was suprised the writers did not make the ML "dumb" or too naive... I love how he saw FL's true colors from the first episode. I really thought the FL would manipulate him a lot before he would notice her manipulative side...

Kiho : It is true dramas tend too "pathologizing" everything but it is also why people watch dramas, if it was supe realistic it would be boring. I know it is wrong but it is how it works.

Like Tektek said it is hard to know for sure, it is my personal
interpretations. I think you should give it a chance because even if there is really some romance I feel like it is not a bother for once.

I saw a lot of good dramas being destroyed by petty romance over friendship for example, but I have a good feeling about this Kdrama "beneficial fraud"... It does not seem forced or childish.

Something I really love is how FL shows her true colors very soon toward the ML but he is still kind to her... I thought she would manipulate him a lot but ML knew she has antisocial behaviors from the first episode...

In my point of view, yes there is romance between them... Slight but still here, particularly from ML. I will just quote one of my previous comment :

"I want to say there are some romance because the ML is super empathetic and he is especially kind to FL/seems to love her. For example there is a moment the FL fall and ML catched her before she is hurt, he even protect her head by placing his hand between her head and the ground...To me it is slight romance...But again the ML is portrayed super empathetic but I feel like he is even more with FL ?" That depends how you view their actions toward each other...

First time I saw her in a kdrama, she is so beautiful and acts very well...! + With Kim Dong Wook it is even better. I really love their chemistry and how they are totally opposite. A good duo to make sparks.

I loved the scene where FL said she wants ML in her future and want to do a lot of things with him...It seemed like a confessions of her feelings... I think viewers who are used to see romance stories (especially dramas overall) are fond of the exagerated romance you can see in most dramas so when it is more subtle / ligh people don't consider it like romance at all.

To me they confessed in today episode that they love each other, I saw it romantically but you can also see this like a friendship too. Anyway, what is sure is, they like each other.

When they drank too much, it was so funny

When they drank too much, it was so funny

What makes it so good is how the main characters are so much different ! Their interactions are so interesting or funny (or both). The dialogues are really well written ! I quite enjoy it much than what I expected...

In this episode there are a lot of clues pointing to ML's dad being the serial killer : how he did not report the suspicious things to the police (ok this one it is perhaps he inconsciously feel the ML is familiar to him), creepy vibes and how the FL spoke about her nightmares where ML does not exist... I really hope it is not ML's father the killer that would be too sad...

If it is him : did he come back earlier from his trip and pretended otherwise in front of his father ? Why, in the present, the FL's mother recognized him ? Does FL's mom knows him somehow ??

I think it is one of the dumbest end of an episode I have ever see ...Why did he kept the killer's message in his pocket ? Put so much blood on his hands ?? Why the cop is useless and annoying until the end ???

I feel the same because I saw Kim Dong wook playing in other Kdramas before and I was expecting top notch acting from him but it is not the case... I am a fan of his since The Guest but here his character feel plain : just the "nice" guy without much depht, I think his best roles are when he plays a sad /traumatised character, you can feel his sadness. Here he seems bored to play this character, It feels like he is just telling his lines and that is it...About the FL she is most of the time is overeacting, I had a hard time in first episodes when she was following her mom everywhere always calling her "mom".

Kim Dong Wook is also playing in "Delightfully Deceitful "right now, I started it yesterday and he is much better in this kdrama.

Only watched episode 1 and there is a big potential, I really love how the characters are like "don't judge by their look" ! It was so relatable when the ML buy different drinks because he does not know what she likes... He is empathetic and too anxious to ask what she wants. I think the psychatrist is right to warn him to not hang out with some sort of people but it is wrong to restrain his emotions that much, he must find the good balance. It is like feeling everything or nothing so I can udnerstand his character.

I also like how the FL is portrayed, not the weak for once and she is actually smart. Make me think of Flower of Evil's ML.
