Absolutely insane but very cute!

Oh wow .... Did you just spoil me the entire show in two lines?

There's a magic little box with "spoiler" written next to it. When you click on it, it hide the content of your very spoiling comment. It help the people who want to go to the comment to see spoiler-free opinions before watching a new show.

Technology is amazing like that. I hope you learned something today.

Yes, I'm going full satirical. Because I'm very annoyed right now. But I'm polite and all, so please edit your comment in spoiler mode. Thank you.

(and pls no "when you go to the comment section, you need to prepare for spoilers". No I do not. Not when the site has a spoiler fonction especially for it.)

Non-romanticized toxic yaoi is back 💪🏼

I agree that SA has been heavily romanticized in BLs, but I don't think it's the case here.

I think it served as not a step into their romance, but a step into knowing their characters. Kataoka is not a good person, who rape and murders people. Odajima is a killer who has almost no reaction to being SAed, only thinking about the fact that he needs to kill Kataoka soon.

It didn't make it romantic (Odajima didn't seem to have fun lol), only made it clear that we're in Toxicland, and not to expect more. :)

If someone actually found that very obviously NC scene "romantic"... Then it's on them, sorry. To me, it was the scene I understood that we were dealing with BAD PEOPLE, not just the usual "bad boy with a heart of gold" type.
They're real criminals who are desensitized to violence.

Anyway, I absolutely agree that SA is heavily romanticized in BLs, but I don't think it's the case here. It's very obviously a toxic relationship between two very disturbed individuals.

Creepy laughs from Do Kyung Soo... Can't wait!

This drama is not an adaptation of The Grave Robbers Chronicles, but an adaptation of Wu Xie's Private Notes, "which is an extra story that describes Wu Xie's various thoughts in the early main series".

"The notes that Wu Xie have always carried with him are in this notebook. There are texts, photos, hand-drawn pictures, receipts and vouchers acquired along the way, private evaluations of teammates, and feelings about history. His various thoughts as he traveled to tombs are also recorded in this notebook." synopsis from Daomu Biji Wiki.

OMG I'm so stupid...... How did I just forget that???? Wtf.
I think I'm mixing storylines up ^^'
Need to drink less cafeine and go to sleep before watching dramas

And I'm a little confused abt something.

No Dhevi apologist here, she chose to marry a gay man, she needs to live with it. But when did she said she asked her father (or brothers?) to kill the ex-boyfriend?
I just assumed she told her father she wanted to marry Krailert, and the man did some cleaning. And she learned that he was gay and that her father/brothers got the boyfriend killed. But still chose to continue with the wedding. Or something like that?

I mean, if she was such a murderer, why would she let her husband fuck around after that? Why wouldn't she ask for Naran to be killed when she knew abt their affair? The man was a "problematic" journalist, going around in protests, easy target for an accidental murder, lol (contrary to a famous actor in a way less dangerous position).
If she did it once, she can't do it twice?

She's no angel, not even a good person. But I'm just wondering why everybody thinks she is the ex-boyfriend's murderer when the current boyfriend is alive and well. It just doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't she want the boyfriend to die even more than the ex-boyfriend? One is the love of her crush; one is the affair of her HUSBAND. Different level of hatred here.

Plus, at some point, she was obviously in love with Veera. If she's the type to kill people who are in the way of her love, why didn't she kill her husband to be with Veera? I'm going way too far here, of course. It just...Doesn't make sense to me for her to be a one-time psycho.

If she is, though, then I'm truly disappointed in the writing team. They created wonderfully coherent characters, male and female, for the whole drama, but just... flunked on Dhevi?

Apo didn't have anything to show in this episode, though? His arc was done last episode; he was only finishing up things for the other characters.
It was Mile's time to show off his acting skills; Apo already had his time to shine in the previous episode :)

Love the show. Amazing from end to finish.

Even with how horrible the ending was from some people; I do love how everything ended. It's ugly and messy, but... Fitting?

Really? I love the whole cast!
I think they work well with each other, you can really feel the differences between the two "killers" and the "normal" people.

I love the dissonance in the styles where the "crazies" clash with the protagonist/others, where you can feel they eat at him, and he's losing his footing. Here, the experience in acting may be the reason, but it works really well as he is eaten alive psychologically.

The two killers we saw really feel like insects eating at him bit by bit. Love it!

And of course, Go Hyun Jun is amazing. Hope the drama is a hit so she can get that Daesang.

I love the simpler scenes with the police team, the wife, and the old guy. So, no dissatisfaction in acting for me! Though the differences in style and intensity can be jarring.

Loved the first episode, can't wait for the next one.

I agree that it is what the drama is hinting at, but didn't we see a scene where she is frustrated that she's not doing well at the beginning, when the killing already started? When the son came back after the cop asked for him to see his mom, two killings had already happened, and she was throwing out good ingredients, saying it was useless bc she didn't have the skills. And the son calmed her down.

Only after her discussion with her husband did she get better.

Maybe because he had to live as the son of a serial killer and had all his basic emotional foundations in life destroyed?

A few reasons off the top of my head:

1. Became an orphan bc of her (mom prison, dad ran away bc of the pressure/public opinion)
2. Son of a serial killer, subject to society's judging eye forever
3. Trauma in formative years, can't recover from that
4. Never a moment of calm in his mind: If mom's a serial killer, how is his self-esteem? How can he trust himself around... anything & anybody? Will he kill people, too? Maybe it's genetic? He should never have children, right? Nobody can know, because nobody will love him for being the son of a monster. After all, they will think that maybe he knew, maybe it's genetic, maybe he will be like his mom.
5. You said it: he has almost no memory of her, so he is even more likely to hate her blindly. To him, she's just a stranger who screwed his life around big time, with no escape from it even in her death.

It is a little frustrating in terms of story, as I would love to see him more cool headed and for them to catch the killer, but well... it's impossible to ask that of the poor guy.

Don't know the original story, and only saw half of the first episode, so it's all just a guess. Would be fun if there was some hidden reason, though! :)

Nope it's not :)

Really?
I feel it's less mystery because our protagonists are as lost as we are in this mindf*ck, opposite to the first season where Ajin was a big part of the mystery. Now that we know about him, it feels less classic "detective" but the mystery is here.

And the supernatural is less... "flashy"?... but it's everywhere all the time. It's just that it's not as clearly explained as in the last season because everybody knows all about it. Ajin doesn't have to put into words what is happening.

I kind of understand where you're coming from, but it feels incorrect to me? Idk how to explain ^^' (sorry, english is not my first language)

This is AMAZING. Way darker and tense than the first season, with less "in your face" magic, but the atmosphere is "dark magic everywhere, wait for it to bubble up to the surface but you're already done when you understand what is happening".

In the first season, Ajin was the protagonist, but still he was in control of everything as he was the strongest and most knowledgeable. But here, it's full of sorcerers hiding in all corners, and we can feel the danger EVERYWHERE.
The quality of the show is through the roof, so thankful that Netflix's money is put into this season. The show feels a lot more mature and SO. FING. COOL.

Love, love, love this season. Can't wait for the 4th episode.

They changed Oe and Tsukue's relationship timeline, it seems. They began to date in 3rd year of high school in the manga, but in this drama, they began to date as adults instead?

I wonder if that means that Chihaya & Taichi are not together in MEGURI, too? Because Chihaya ends up alone in the movies, though she confesses her feelings to Taichi at their high school graduation, and they're together in the manga.

I reeeeeaaaally love the Mizusawa boy from the drama, because he seems to be a weird mix of Taichi and Suou, being nice on the surface, but a little twisted inside like Taichi. And he kind of talk like Suou, too? His sadistic habit of using words to get under the skin of... everybody. And his way of subtly looking down on people. ^^'
+ he seems nice to girls (heroine) and mean to guys (heroine's classmate)?
I don't think he's in love with the heroine, or anything, so maybe he's just flirty like Suou and just dislikes the friend only because he's a guy, and especially because he seems to be gifted at karuta. lol

I was not fully into the first episode, but episodes 2 to 6 were amazing!

Love the karuta club members, they're all such good kids, and Oe is adorable as always, with the aura of a true lady T^T

There has been some change to the manga, so I wonder if they took writing freedom for things that have not been into the 3 movies. I'm not against it, but I'm curious! ^^

In the same way as the original manga, I absolutely adore that we are taking our time, and seeing their training FOR MONTHS. And that it's not about "how we became the best team in the world in 5 months even though almost all members were beginners".
It also makes for a very believable fast-paced story. We see a lot of montages of them talking, hanging out, training, etc... So we believe it when there is a wall to conquer sometimes (not like some other stories where there seems to be an incident every. single. day). We believe that they're friends. And we're truly frustrated when they lose (even though they did their best) or win (because we saw them work hard).

For the secondary characters, though, there's so many of them I wonder if we'll really have time for everybody, outside of the simple "rivalry". The charmof Chihayafuru was that the other schools were not just "rivals" but really well fleshed people who had a lot of development in parallel to the main kids.

I think Nagi's character will be well treated, as she has a past with the heroine, and the base is solid for a good development of their story together. But Orie? He still seems very mysterious at the moment, even though it's more than half of the story... Maybe I'm just worrying too much. There's still 4x45mn of story to go through.

Anyway, cool story, cool characters, really nice atmosphere, love it!
