why not, the closer the less visible...

Did that dude say he beat her up? I think he lied that he has nothing to do with that? OR his family bailed him out?

this is based on a real case and I researched it. That dude who was tortured to confess, spent 20 yrs in prison. For 30 yrs they couldnt find the guy who killed 14 ppl

Did they show up yet in the drama? yes no

This is based on a true story and speaks tons about police brutality, corruption and incompetence... .... FOR 30 YRS

In the real case, the innocent guy spent 20 yrs in prison falsely accused after a coerced confession by torture...

I read the notes on the real case and cannot map it into our characters here. It is strange that the prisoner wipes his shoes like the prosecutor.. and that bookie smiles at scarecrow drawing...
The well camouflaged psycho prosecutor is scary bc THAT KIND IS SO COMMON IN EVERY POSITION OF AUTHORITY and nobody understands how dangerous they are

No he wont leave anyone alone. Do NOT ever be naive...
The prosecutor is a psychopath/sociopath, a very camouflaged liar and criminal, and a VERY common kind of predator in practically every position of power
in other words: there must be at least some around you , very close

The moral of the story: NEVER TALK to anyone, like that other prosecutor told the bad one that his son was coming to visit and NEVER GIVE EXCUSE like ML beat up that guy in public... beat him when nobody can see it :(

wow this is a great drama, a "real kdrama" bravo! but ... again... female stupidity... ML's sister is a total reckless dumb moron - the reporter walking though a corn field at night.. !!!! - so typical..... kdramas are so sexist
The Prosecutir character is so prevalent in positions of power... a psychopath / sociopath... wow he is soooo well camouflaged and sooooo suave ...

I really like acting of ML, I never saw him before so I checked out his bio, he is quite famous. For a good reason. this is one great actor for sure.

So now we have 2 types of actors: porcelain dolls with pretty faces and personality of cardboard, their acting is to look gloomy serious all the time... and essentially pose for still pictures while their idol fans swoon over them...... , and real actors who are alive and creative on the scene and act and express for real Wow it was never this bad

same to you - read carefully... . I am sure I addressed exactly what you complained about and some more. I am not sure how old you are and what your life experiences are, but ARE you aware that those elderly are not physically able to do those things, and he helps them out of kindness, and he is not just the hero, he is a "son" of that village - it is an exchange of love and favors as they "adopt" him and provide a loving "home and family and fiends and community" forhim, and how tragic it is that villages have no young ppl - and how tragic it is that young ppl do not have old ppl ..... So.... Having said that... I am done here :) It will take you a while to digest this, ad you will be able to only when you get feeble /injured/needy or you help someone, like ... feed some stray cats. Go help in a dog shelter.... feed the homeless.... GO VISIT A SENIOR HOME OR A NEIGHBOR.... play with some kids... feed some fish.... or even plants.... etc ... so ... Bye

this came up after https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIudp4xv7Io so china promised to make best AI by 2030

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIudp4xv7Io and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z1V0kUoDn0 China eliminated art degrees bc of AI

ok thanks for the input that was helpful to me. Thank you, I learned something from you.

This is yet another robot-looking porcelain doll actor, they all have super triangular face and that gloomy serious look and pale face and are super skinny

i dont understand your question

they surely kssed on the bench in one of the recent episodes
BUT IF THEY ARE RELATIVES, that one kiss or so is not going to be an irreversible disaster, that is what I meant, they can instantly let go of each other and forget they were ever "in love"

I meant that BH is not a big deal to JM and she will easily forget him. BH would have harder time but he would let her go - and that is the only way he would let her go ... unfortunately

JM is soooo careless to BH and does not deserve him

i wonder how much this is "his" perspective. He is a bought pawn :) he can only say stuff that is approved

This drama is great imo. It shows ordinary "real" ppl doing their best to live as decent ppl. That is a "true hero" plot and very profound, although seemingly simple,

It is shocking to find this many comments here that the drama is "boring..." ??!.
This drama has about 12,000 watchers ....
The comments show that the audience is UNFAMILIAR with the following concepts:
interact with elderly, volunteer any work, take care of anyone or anything, value any small town/village stories, value community stories, recognize when someone is cemented and when they are open, recognize healing, .. etc etc etc They call ML 'village hero" and dislike that idea - but I suspect they voted high or heroes in fight dramas like Weak Hero, or Vincenzo...?
Do these ppl get up to give their seat on a bus to an elderly, pregnant, or injured..?,
where is their DISCERNMENT and life experiences... ? Why is there that self righteous entitled tone as if they could make a better drama right this second, they know so much?

I wonder who this audience is and what this audience normally watches?? .... they say this drama is not cool or funny to them - and based on their comments, the drama totally went over their heads, they do not even recall correctly what was shown in the drama

I think the audience consists of fans of idols and "pretty boys" - there are so many comment about pretty boys - and/or fans of sleek rom-coms, urban young rich and pretty, very young ppl, glitzy trillers and fantasies, etc

and seems like they came to watch this drama bc ML and SML are pretty and/or young boys, BUT the drama has a lot more mature plot - and the audience is bored.

So many comments are of the wall immature, as if written by a very spoiled brat urban teenager OR a hard core consumer of soaps, soapy fantasies, and other meaningless video stories.
I have not seen this many immature and malicious snide comments in one place. Well except Dynamite Kiss, Pursuit of Jade, Perfect Crown and Practical Guide to Love

and it is hard to find comments that show any understanding of what is going on in the drama, even actual recollection of the scenes. wow.

I noticed the same behavior in an LA-based discussion group Dramabeans.
I think chinese short verticals, cdrama glitz shows and cesspools, and recent kdrama hwood cesspool, have jeopardized the very few remaining brain cells that were left after decades of hwood cesspool

Real kdramas have no chance then since they require higher cognitive skills, and a compasionate and sophisticated sense of humor, warmth and community.

The comments I am seeing on this page... lack a sense of compassion and care. And have such a strong feeling of self importance and egotism. The "selish teenager vibe". So I am getting very ... sceptical about the future of visual arts, and in particular, kdramas, this is such a strong push to just exterminate kdramas. If that happens, the world is doomed. Kdramas currently are a rare form of art that openly speaks on all kinds of subjects and S Korea is known for good discernment and replacing asap any crap governments.

If this inherent good discernment and high standards for life's true values become obsolete, then yes the world is doomed. There wont be anything worth watching anymore. For me :) and the ppl trashing this drama will be having a blast since all dramas will be of "their" kind.

to be honest, the audience seems off, based on comments here.

I wonder who this audience is and what this audience normally watches?? .... they say this drama is not cool or funny to them - and based on their comments, the drama totally went over their heads, they do NOT get it at all.

I think the audience consists of fans of idols and "pretty boys", sleek rom-coms, urban young rich and pretty, very young ppl, etc and seems like they came to watch this drama bc ML and SML are pretty and young boys, BUT the drama has a lot more mature plot - and the audience is all bored.

The comments show that the audience has never interacted with elderly, never volunteered any work, never took care of anyone or anything, does not want any small town/village stories, does not like community stories, totally cannot recognize when someone is cemented and when they are open, totally cannot recognize healing, .. etc etc etc
So many comments are of the wall immature, as if written by a very spoiled brat urban teenager OR a hard core consumer of soaps, soapy fantasies, and other meaningless video stories.

I have not seen this many immature and malicious snide comments in one place. Well except Practical Guide to Love but it was less ppl there. This drama is 12,000 watchers
and it is hard to find comments that show any understanding of what is going on in the drama. wow.

wow cruel and blind opinion
.
The villagers are old and cannot do the work, they really need him. And in return, they provided a "home" for him and adore him.
This is a story of healing

wasted on the ignorant

gosh you missed it - he started smiling and more and more, to the point of ear to ear

- BH was always there to help JM
- BH saved JM's life and lives of her family how many times? At least 6?
- instead of telling Chairman, JM sacrificed BH bc it was easier
- instead of telling reporters, JM sacrificed BH
- JM lied to BH non-stop and kept secrets:
------ she hid Professor's affair with HY
------- she hid that JH's mom is HY
- JM dumped BH to marry his brother JH.... and she is clearly using his brother as a pawn in her game... i.e. JM DUMPED BH AND IS INTENTIONALLY HURTING BH AND HIS BROTHER and also destroying their brotherly bond
and she dumped BH with lies ... and JH hit BH, told him to shut up, boogey away, etc
- JM dumped BH for his brother JH - and told JH she will try to love him and he should seduce her
- so de facto, JM TOOK JH AWAY FROM SR
- JM IS AN EVIL AND DUMB INCOMPETENT SCUMBAG who is creating super bad karma for herself and also ruining lives of BH and JH - well JH deserves it, he is butting in where he doesnt belong and should pay for it. And BH made a mistake to love such an evil woman-child

-- JH IS EVIL - JM told him that HY killed her father and JH kept denying it in front of Professor
-- JH IS EVIL - he doesnt care if he marries SR or JM and he doesnt care that she doesnt love him, and he doesnt care that BH loves her and she loves BH

TO RESOLVE THIS WITH CLEAN KARMA:
- Professor's family should fall apart. Mom and dad divorcing, JH not believing they are really his parents and leaves them. So JH and Professor will probably leave the family and BH will take care of the mother
- JH should realize that HY is a criminal and completely ditch her and try to help put her away
- JH should realize that JM is fake and should let her go
- SR should wake up asap and blast JM for wrecking chaos while SR was gone - so give some money to JM and let her go for good. SR takes over Dream Group and JH gets fired.
- JM should go back to her family without anything and anyone except a little money. SR should come visit SH sometimes. But really JM does *NOT* deserve to be SR's friend.
- JM took SR's man with the intention of hurting him and using him. SR should ditch JM for good.
- BH should realize that JM is a sh.t, and let her go - and take charge of his new wealth, go on a vacation before he starts working as the Chairman, and move on - and find himself a good wife

Perhaps BH and SR should get togheter and take over Dream Group,

and JM can go back to side dish shop OR stay married to JH and they too pack up and move somewhere else... SH will have to go with JM... , SR can come to visit SH and never bring BH, BH and JM will never run into each other again,
and JH can go work in another hotel and never see anyone anymore.
HY and manager Lee should die somewhere on the way.
Chairman should die and leave everything to SR.

That seems like a good just ending to me.
JM is a piece of sh.t. And I hope BH gets that asap and crosses her over.
But bc of sexism, he probably won't. The drama is cashing on Korean/Asian "parents are more important than anything" and "women are more dumb than anyone". Ep 86 and on are very sobering insight into the toxicity of Korean culture, even more so since before ep 86, the drama looked normal. This is like pulling a ghost out of closet at the last minute.

Anyways, if BH keeps trying to get JM, ... that's another reason to drop this drama. Drop the sn.t, BH.
JM will not stop now so ... I am thinking of droppig this or just ocasionallu poking to see how it is going

Yes JunkHo and BaekHo are both adopted. JH's bio-mom is HY and father ... maybe Lapdog? or not...
BH's parents are either blood related to Chairman OR Chairman killed them to take their company

BH and JM barely kissed so it is not a disaster if they are relatives and drop it asap. BH would have more trouble bc he was so deeply in love. JM is too cold towards him so it's not a big deal

Exactly that is the point. You are missing something really big. I dont have the time to be explaining it to you AGAIN :) bc I dont think you are ready to hear it.

OK I will be generous and give you a hint since you are so cemented. THOSE ELDERLY HAD NOBODY ELSE TO ASK AND THEY NEEDED HELP DESPERATELY. ML helping them is like ... eeding an injured dog or a stray cat. And on his side, nobody loved him nor paid attention to him and elderly all pampered him and provided an emotional HOME for him, like ... they took in an injured dog, or adopted a stray cat.
ML WAS A STRAY AT THE START :) and he became the village "son" and hero :)

So ... perhaps one day you will remember this discussion :) Bye now.
