JJH's visuals look a bit different from his other dramas. is it a romcom thing to make the male leads have chubby-like…
He doesn't look chubby, in fact he looked somewhat chubby in blood free I would say...or maybe it's the hairstyle??... I like how he looks here. IMO he looked his absolute best in ITEM 💀

The dinner scene with Hae-il in the first episode of season two was honestly unbearable. It felt like they were trying to make his character funny through sheer obnoxiousness, but instead, it was just cringeworthy. The whole scene lacked any real humor or charm, and Hae-il’s behavior was so over the top that it crossed the line from amusing to annoying. It’s like they forgot how to make his temper and quirks funny without making him insufferable.
Yeah great observation because I observed that too when I watched both episodes last night. These things do happen…
Park Bo Ram deserves some grace here—after all, he directed Good Manager, which is easily one of the best comedies out there. The issue this season seems less about direction and more about the script itself. In the first season, the humor came from the characters’ situations and the way they naturally reacted to them. The protagonist’s anger made sense because he was displaced, bitter, and struggling in a new town, which made his outbursts feel genuine. Detective Ko’s quirks were funny because they fit his unfortunate position within the squad, enhancing his pitiful charm.
This season, though, the setup just isn’t giving us that same foundation. The characters don’t feel as organically funny without those underlying tensions, and so the humor is falling flat. Without a compelling setup, their antics feel like they’re reaching for laughs rather than letting the situations speak for themselves.
I still can't wrap my head around why they wrote out Detective Seo Seung Ah—she was hilarious and added such a unique layer of awkward humor to the show. Her ‘cringe’ factor, like that unforgettable moment when the whole squad stood there painfully while she tried rapping, was so endearing and relatable. She balanced out the group’s dynamic with her unintentional awkwardness, making the squad scenes even better.
I also really miss Hwang Cheol Bum and his loyal sidekick. They were such a memorable pair with that perfect balance of menace and comedy. But since their story arcs wrapped up in the first season, it makes sense that the script couldn’t find a way to bring them back. I just hope the show finds new ways to fill those gaps without losing the humor and authenticity that made the first season so enjoyable
While the humor in the first season was still exaggerated, it felt grounded because the characters had depth, and even the protagonist’s outbursts seemed genuine and relatable. We saw glimpses of him actively working on his anger issues, adding a layer of authenticity that balanced his flaws and made the humor feel earned. This season, however, it feels like he’s abandoned that growth and is now embracing his anger almost as a gimmick. The outbursts don’t seem to serve his character’s journey anymore—they just feel like forced attempts to remind us that he has a temper. Detective Ko’s exaggerated hand movements this season are another aspect that feels forced and frankly a bit eye-roll worthy. All the characters had quirks in the first season that felt natural and added to the humor without overshadowing their personalities.
Fingers crossed that this doesn’t set the tone for the rest of the season. There’s still time for the show to find its footing again and bring back the charm and authenticity that made the first season so engaging.
i think i get her after ep 9..she is just that convinced that her parents will always think she is the killer…
The way she was obsessively searching for Su Heyon, and the fact that she terrified someone out of their wits, isn’t going to be ignored—even by her own parent!
i think i get her after ep 9..she is just that convinced that her parents will always think she is the killer…
She should realize that her parents suspect her because of the way she's been behaving! Never mind the emotional aspect—fine, maybe she can’t grasp that as easily because she's on the spectrum. But she's plenty intelligent enough to understand that her actions would lead to questions and consequences. Instead, she acts like no one should dare question her decisions!
I'm telling you, Jang Tae Su shouldn't even bother worrying about hurting Ha-bin's feelings at this point. First, she clearly doesn't care. Second, she's doing the same thing to others, and someone like that doesn't deserve any consideration. I'm so done with Jang Ha-bin. I just want to slap her.
I really liked the drama. It's got the most satisfying open ending for me. One thing that made me like this the…
I truly admire your strength and commitment to standing by your family, even during the toughest times when it feels overwhelming. But please, don’t give up on your studies—you may regret it later. In our culture, we say, 'Even if you have to beg to continue your studies, then do so.' While I’m not suggesting you beg, I urge you to finish your education while you’re young. It may be the best opportunity you have to improve your situation. I wish you all the best.
Was this show about Dongjae's redemption as some people wrote? Because if so I'm not sure I will watch it...I…
Hey... so I'm one of those who called it a redemption, but honestly, it's not really, though it sort of is. He's flawed and all, but without giving too much away, I'll say he gets into a tough spot where it looks like his only choice is to go back to his shady ways. But he manages to push through without actually doing it. That said, if he hadn't found a way out, he probably would’ve done something shady.
