He used a jammer previously so likely assumed that was still working
I also thought he wasn't as impressive as they kept saying he was in the drama (e.g. "he's the one carrying the team!" "he's the best among us!"). Maybe we haven't seen what he can do yet cause he's (mistakenly) assuming it's all a cake walk and being extra lackadaisical?
I loved every second of this! Now... I feel empty... Btw, is Weak hero class good? I need something else :(
I think they're very different. Still a well-written series, and while WHC1 does have themes of friendship and bullying and super violent fights, remove from it the warm and fuzzy feel of Study Group, the nice adults who care, and the policeman willing to get involved, and add some betrayal and a sprinkle of despair/helplessness that is never solved throughout, blatant child abuse, and you've got WHC1. 😅
Does anyone else think the ML feels a little bumbling and not very aware to be an NIS agent?
I guess none of his team figured the case would be that complicated? So he's being less careful? He just seems to be handling things a bit sloppily, especially with so much at stake (his job and everyone else's on his team).
Is the FL so worried about keeping her job that she forgot why she was there? If so, it was nice he put a little pebble in her shoe.
And my first question when they said they were going to investigate the golds' whereabouts was, "Why would anyone leave tons of gold in the same spot untouched for 65+ years?" 🤔
Yep, the yodeling was ... weird. I have the feeling they got the idea from Zhou Shen's "The Lonely Goatherd".…
The sound editing in Cdramas sometimes is extremely distracting and almost maddening (my only gripe with the Nirvana in Fire seasons--they make even slight breathing loud and it's SO distracting!). You'd think they'd have lots of practice perfecting this aspect of filming considering ALL of the sound is added later in Cdramas, but even these recent dramas struggle to get the sound right. It's not something I'm used to, after primarily watching Kdramas and western cinema/media. I wonder if Cdramas are extremely rushed and have crazy deadlines to meet? It seems to be the only explanation for the sloppy sound editing?
I've noticed in many dramas that there's only one cop on duty, no matter the city or town.🤔 We're seeing some…
And wasn't it one of the other policeman who tazed him at the end right before he went to help the teacher? I got the impression many of the policemen were paid off, like the principal at Yuseong.
I did think it made zero sense, too, that the principal would confess AT THE SCHOOL. Of all the places to pick to confess, why there? 😅
But still the rating was forcefully dropped by people who don’t understand what fiction is
I've never seen anything like what happened to this drama on this site before. I don't know why, but I felt ashamed just watching it all. 😳 It was mostly embarrassing, but also horrifying to watch the sheer power of internet gossip and group think. Yikes!
It's a much slower pace than more recent costume dramas and has lots of conversing scenes, but if you can push through the pace (everything is important in NiF), the last half or so is SWEET. I prefer dramas that end stronger than they start. I think they're rare, and Nirvana in Fire is one of them.
It doesn't start badly nor is it poorly written (nothing about NiF is poorly written), but the rich, rich pay-off at the end does take some patience and determination to reach, I think. I think it doesn't use cheap spectacle, cliffhangers and scandal to keep you hooked. It's doing something more robust; harder to appreciate at first, but more satisfying in the end.

And I suppose meeting at the school only makes sense if it was a ruse that he was in on.
And yes, gripes aside, it is still fun! 😉
