Relying on shock factors, excessive plot twists, family drama, betrayal, revenge, all the possible chaos and extremities. In this case, the Cha family plot line made it a Makjang

Thankfully, the statute of limitations for first degree murder in South Korea was removed in 2015, before then it was 25 years. They’re still trying to remove that of state crimes.
Unfortunately due to this time crunch, that birthed a lot of false confession while in custody. They were eager to close the cases, quickly
can anyone who knows the real life case tell me how accurate was the ending of this drama?
Cora made a discussion right above about the actual case.
What I remember from a YouTube video I saw at the beginning of this drama is due to the end of the statute of limitations all they could do was absolve the unfairly imprisoned of the crime and apologise. But that’s it. Lee Chun-Jae basically escaped from the 1988 murders
What makes the mother’s character interesting to me is that the drama does not reduce her into a simple “evil…
Fantastic analysis! I agree with a few things but I don’t think she feels guilt
I love that’s it’s not simple and they keep twisting the knife of contempt. Oh Jeong-Hi is spurring her on to use her angst and pain to make beauty out of it and Oh Jong-Hui should still be at the centre and the queen of it, because shes the cause and it’s her right (I just rage baited myself btw)
The plot has been relying on misunderstandings for quite some time now . It’s getting frustrating and draggy…
All we’ve been watching is the reverse of what happened in 1988 and where they all went wrong. suspense is not a huge factor here
The misunderstanding, wrong suspect is intentional and meant to be frustrating. Young-Woo could have died without ever confessing and it would have remained a mystery forever
Everyone cares about tangible results and flashy commendations. What’s one or two people unfairly treated, when…
When we have a bully becoming a prosecutor and rewarded for abusing his power, and the system allows him. With the rich controlling the institutions that are meant to protect and govern the society. What can we really expect?
Justice? The truth? That’s a term that only the rich and tenacious are privy to. And even being tenacious means you’ll crawl bleeding on your knees before you can taste a sliver of it. This is the utopia the rich is gearing towards. Then and now, there isn’t any much difference, we only got better at manipulation
Re your last point, only a few. And even then, they’re like Tae-Ju who try and try

I guess it’s a way to say he after 1988 was not the focus

It’s easier being the problematic one over being a doormat
