There’s only 3 episodes out. 8.1 is exceptionally good for that since most people haven’t rated yet. Wait…
Thank you for your reply. I very much appreciate it.
Yes, I am very well aware of the 3 episodes out scenario. And, my thinking of the ratings were in general and not necessarily particular to this drama.
This is a very good and high quality drama. Not the usual Kdrama, and that might explain the relative low rating.
Of course on a scale of 1 to 10, typically a 10 would be exemplary, 9 would be considered excellent, and 8 would be very good, where as 5 and 6 would be considered average.
But, here on MDL, to me an 8 feels like average and a 5 or 6 feels like a very low rating.
What do you guys think? How do the MDL numbers feel like to you?
I have been watching Korean drama and movies since 2012 and have learned a bit Korean. I have also watched Chinese and a bit of Japanese ones.
I am bilingual and when I moved to US and watched American shows and movies it always felt like I was watching a different movie or show than the same one I saw in the country I was born in. The dialog was so different.
Now, it feels the same with what I am watching now. Why do translators get the urge to change the most basic dialog to something different when there is a perfect and direct translation? That makes me lose confidence in more complex dialogs. Sad, very sad and disappointing.
If what you are saying about the subs being inaccurate is true, then that is very disappointing. So far I've not…
I am bilingual, and also know a little Korean. I simply do not like the idea of changing what is being said to something different, even if it gives the same idea, when there is a perfect direct translation.
For example, Good morning should be translated to Good Morning not to Hi.
Definitely not a drama series for everyone since it's not your typical Korean drama.
But, I truly enjoyed it. It's very realistic in every sense, with the exception of cases being resolved so fast. In real life even cases which are settled quickly, they still take time.
The cases were very realistic, it had the whole range of cases where just like in real life the guilty gets away with it, the innocent gets punished, and everything in between, i.e., the innocent wins and the guilty gets punished.
Relationships were also realistic, between lovers, friends, coworkers, superiors, and subordinates. Not much over dramatization in anything, really.
Do I wish all dramas were like this one? Absolutely not. I enjoy variety, and I think it's good to have a variety to suit different tastes.
This drama has more holes than my large strainer, yet it is really good and super fun to watch. Not much different than a James Bond movie when it comes to logic :))
It's not just Disney. It's all of them, regardless of the source.

You put into very concise words what I have been thinking. For that thank you a million times.

Forgive my venting and frustration.

This is what I mean by inaccuracy.
Yes, Netflix does it a lot, so do all the others.
Unfortunately, the subs were very inaccurate. The translator decided to adlib. Guess didn't like what was being said by the actors.
Thanks
Highly recommended. Not your typical time travel. Very well written.
It's been a while since I saw that drama, which I actually enjoyed watching, but if my memory serves me right, she was much stronger than her husband.
I am an old man, unfortunately, I have had my share of involvement with law cases :(

Not the usual Kdrama. If you are open to something very different, then I recommend it. You might actually like the ending. I am glad I watched it.
