James Bond

Definately try it if you haven't started it yet. I would recommend it to everybody. I'm glad my review made a difference :)

True, I like your view point. It offers a broader perspective to the effects that the events of the show had on him, and another meaning to the scene.

I'm delighted you feel that way :)

Yes, I agree on that, Kill me, Heal me did handle the past story quite well in comparison to the other dramas, although I personally liked WYWS and JBL better as a whole, but that's just a personal preference I guess. Nevertheless, I would rather have a drama where the leads meet in present day and then develop their relationship from there, rather than the whole "Oh we like each other, but not enough to be together" story, and then they discover that they have known each other in the past and that is the sort of the crucial point in their relationship that gets them from just friends to lovers. It's all just way too used up, boring, and predictable for me.

I haven't seen the last 2 episodes, but so far they didn't offer any updates on the topic, and I don't think they will.

The whole thing with the traumatic event is one of the things I don't like about this drama, not because it's not done properly, but because I feel it is overused in dramas. I have seen numerous dramas where the leads are connected through a "coincidental" encounter in the past, (Healer, Kill me Heal me, Just between Lovers, While you were sleeping), and honestly I didn't really like any one of those parts of the stories even though I liked the dramas as a whole. They simply became boring to me, especially in this drama, where I feel that the story line of the past is pointless. There were already plenty of ways to connect the leads and if this show went on with the rom-com style and added a sort of actual "antagonist" that would have fit the atmosphere of the story better, it would have turned out good.

Even though I'm one of the people that like rather than hate this drama, I agree with almost everything you said in the review. However, I'd like to ask you one thing: Where did you see the potential in this drama? Because I never saw it becoming anything more than another typical rom-com with some past trauma elements that we've seen so many times before.

I am very pleased to hear that. You are welcome.

If I can remember correctly, he was crying because he got divorced with his wife, which is mentioned in the last scene. He knew that she was cheating on him for a long time, but he tried to keep up with it because he tried to save his marriage. However, it seems like he and his wife ultimately decided to go separate ways, with his wife moving to live with their child. We didn't really get a clear explanation for his crying, but this seems to be the most obvious reason.

I believe many people will not feel as if their 1 hour was wasted after seeing the first episode. Why not just let them see for themselves? It's different than saying not to bother watching the drama after you've seen finished watching it. Judging it after one episode, and saying that others shouldn't even bother starting it when the show is not even half way through is just....

Okay, I really don't get why so many people here are trying to find perfection in each drama. You analyze each and every detail of the show and point out mistakes for what reason exactly? If they keep on making the same type of law dramas all the time, you complain that it's "something that we've already seen". If they try to make a change in the law dramas then it's "not realistic", or "senseless". This drama is not so much about how the court handles the issues of the public, but rather how the court handles the issues of the court. If you haven't realized that, then you have been watching a different show. And yes, it's not perfect, yes, the leads don't always make the right decisions, but at least it's refreshing to see a drama like this. And most importantly, it's a show, not real life. If you don't like it, don't watch it, simple as that.

Peculiar isn't it? I'd like to know too

Yeah, I get what you mean, it's just that if they were showing their lives after they parted it would be like watching 2 different dramas, so that's why they didn't go for it. But overall, yeah, this drama was too powerful through it's course for such an ending, but I guess they needed to end it and they wanted to make it as positive as it could get for the viewers.

Right, I agree that there were more things that could have been done with it, but I wouldn't go with 16 more episodes, but rather maybe just 4 or 5, to show us how Dong Hoon, Ji An, and some other characters are getting through. But I think the reason the writers didn't do that is because it steps off of the main story in the drama. This show was mostly about the times Dong Hoon and Ji An spent together, and the parts that could be explored futher are actually the paths that Dong Hoon and Ji An walk separately. Therefore, it would not really fit into the whole plot very well, it would be as if we are watching 2 different stories, rather than one. That's why they used a sort of Deus ex machina to show us the one event where they are together again to wrap the whole thing up.
Overall, yes, there was potential for more, but the ending was quite satisfying, and the fact that Ji An got a job made since, since the company president pulled some strings, and well... we see that connections like that can get you far.

This is rather long, so it's okay if you don't feel like reading it, but I would appreciate if you did.
I think that you have the wrong view on some of these things so I will try to clarify. The money-lenders (loan sharks) did not really become good people. Lee Gwang Il (one of the loan sharks) was a childhood friend of Lee Ji An, so he felt something towards her throughout the whole drama. That was surely a feeling of hatred because she killed his father, but there was probably also a feeling of a distant friendship or maybe even something more, but this is up to discussion. What we know for sure is that he had a need to stay close to her, not just for the money, because if he wanted revenge for his father's death, he could have killed Lee Ji An after she repaid him. However he did not, so we can assume he probably cared a for her a bit. And that was part of the reason why he chose to help her in the end by sending the recordings to Dong Hoon. The other part was that he knew that Do Joon Yeong was a person far worse than Lee Ji An, because he had heard the recordings, and he also knew that Do Joon Yeong had hired a private detective to help him get rid of the evidence. Therefore, it cannot really be said that the loan sharks became good people. It is just that Lee Gwang Il helped a childhood friend because he either felt the need to do so, or he just didn't want Do Joon Yeong to win, or both. Whichever it is, it makes sense if you take into account all the previous events from the drama. He and Lee Ji An were not enemies their whole lives, and that means something.
As for the company trying to destroy Dong Hoon, they did in fact destoy him as a person in the beginning. But they did not expect that he would fight back the way he did. So in a way, the second part of the drama was not them attacking Dong Hoon so that they can destroy him, but it was them defending themselves from Dong Hoon, so that they wouldn't be destroyed.
If we talk about the hacker friend, a person who spends as much time on the computer as Lee Ji An's friend can indeed learn some hacking skills, especially considering the fact that except the planting of the bug in Dong Hoon's phone, everything else he did was just editing contents of web sites, which is can definitely be learned. And if we consider the fact that he is the same age as Lee Ji An, which means he's 21, he certainly had the time.
Finally, Lee Ji An did not "suddenly" find a man who wants to help her. Quite the opposite, she herself says that there were many people who tried to help her, but gave up because of who she was. "You are the only person who helped me more than 4 times", pretty much tells it all. But, even if we don't take that into account, that is the moving factor of this drama. Without it, there would be no plot, and we would just see 2 strangers living their lives. And even in dramas that portray realism, we usually have something that is not that common which is actually the reason we have the drama itself. It is an adaptation of real life after all, not real life itself. If it was just regular things that happen in everyday life, who would actually watch it? If they wanted to simply make a drama about real life, they would just go and film themselves doing daily things.
Whether this changes your opinion on the drama or not is, of course, up to you, I just wanted to offer you a different perspective on the things you mentioned.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, it could actually help people who haven't started it yet, or those who are considering it.

Junho, Jang Hyuk, Junho, Jang Hyuk...but what about Jung Ryeo Won?? Are you guys forgetting about her?

Well yeah, but then again, this is a comedy after all.

They're gangsters, of course they will be bothered by someone else other than their boss giving them orders, that's the whole point of it....

I agree with you on the part that an ending can ruin a drama, but I think that the ending of Misty was appropriate, or you could say logical, for all, except for Ha Myung Woo. When I look back at it now, I guess Misty wasn't as good as I had initially thought, but I still enjoyed it very much, and I think the ending wasn't as bad as people make it. If anything, this drama was refreshing since we don't see dramas like this very often (or at least I haven't watched them). I guess whether you still appreciate the good parts of the drama after seeing a bad ending is more depending of the person than the drama.
But I get what you mean overall.

True, Soo Ji is really the only one watching here. Everything else is just bland. The actors, the characters, the plot, the script. The show started out terribly, then it got better, then it got worse again, then a bit better....and now.... Well I just don't know. They gave away so much info in the first two episodes, and now, almost half way in the show, when I look back, except the fact that Shi Hyun and Tae Hee got together (for whatever reason), it seems like nothing much really happened. It's getting boring.
