Was the tone all over the place for anyone else? I went in blind and i'm not sure what it's trying to be lol.
I think the tone was intentional as a the audit team is. All over the place with the character introductions and setting the tone for the rest of this drama. Up and down like the episode name said.
My takeaway of the theme is equality and hierarchy, like we were told, and what better way to tell than how the characters were introduced. The female lead is written how men usually are, great at her job, beloved and scary, and firm.
Male lead is good at his job and cushy, but what was that scene at the end..,
I’m familiar with the case this drama (and many others) was based on but the Wikipedia article in English doesn’t…
I found this helpful YouTube video in English, and the reminder it took 33 years for this case and all the details to be pieced together is still deeply disturbing
It has pictures of the kids involved but never the bodies; it was censored but the victims are named and the suspects pictures are there(even the one unfairly persecuted) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wVri4gn4wrc
They all have so many creative nicknames like the poltergeist and Joo-sniper
But I understand what you mean. Give episode 2 a try and see if it’s worth your while
The almost murder didn’t take away from the comedy but it’s giving it a layered approach.
This drama is touching on a very sensitive subject, and the tonal jump is necessary to not be dismissive (in my opinion)
