They are adapting my all time favourite US television series and I am not happy. I cannot see either Lee Si Young or Park Shi Hoo emulating the characters of Lisbon and Jane. (This is no hate to the actors I just don't think ANYONE should touch The Mentalist) I refuse to acknowledge this remake T-T
what are jamie’s powers??? jae woong and jung woo are both super smart and strong but jamie? she isn’t strong…
Not too sure what episode you're currently on but we see a glimpse of Jamie's abilities in episode 6 if I'm not wrong, which is ironic considering she shows them while running out after having had a surgery to remove a tumor from her brain, which essentially comprised of all the experimentation that the facility had done on her as a child, and gave her and other children their "abilities." This is why Jung Woo doesn't want to get the surgery done until he's accomplished his purpose but I find this stupid and lazy and even absurd.
The writing is all over the place here where Jung Woo does literally everything he wants without people batting an eye because he's the lead. Sure, he did that to "save" her life but it made her so much weaker that even her normal abilities have just vanished lol. Nice try writernim, destroying a promising female character under the guise of the male lead wanting to protect her and then having other characters say that she will become his weakness *eyeroll intensifies*
also why did they force feed us that weird "you like him" scene with jae woong and jamie if the romance was gonna…
The writer had a plan that might have been cliche but would have had a lot of emotional impact: make one of Jae Woong's two personas have a strong emotional attachment to Jamie. (This wasn't necessarily romance but the audience saw it as such because why not lol, they're both attractive people.) That way, with what just happened towards the end of episode 12, Jamie could be the "I Will Bring You Back to the Light" person for Jae Woong. Now unless the writer is indeed planning for this in the next episode, or if they have completely dropped this idea like every decent character arc that they ruined so far, you'll have to wait a week to see but honestly I'm not even going to be disappointed if the last 4 episodes become a shitshow because things are already heading that way.
It's probably just me, but I can't stand Jung Woo going all ex machina when every other character (with the exception of Jae Woong) has been reduced to the status of wet paper dolls.
Not too much romance thank goodness just some longing stares (which I would always fast-forward) As for Gong Hye…
It's interesting that you said you were ignoring the problems with the writing because the problems you've pointed out are exactly what's wrong with the writing.
The writer doesn't know what to do with the children who had special abilities. They can't decide whether they want to showcase their abilities of keep them concealed and we're 12 episodes in lol. Corruption aside, it says a lot about character dynamics when a "team" has to be divided in order for actual work to be done. Only when Hye Won went solo was she able to do something, and Jamie actually being able to make the team work undercover made it seem like there was no place for Hye Won (or that she even wanted to be back) and same can be said vice versa as well. The two females never got together to work on something and it's almost like the writer is building up this bitter rivalry (which we all know there isn't any, at least from Jamie's end, and later even Hye Son's end because she was just initially jealous.)
This forcing characters apart is reflective of weak characterization and everyone has been reduced to one dimensional versions of themselves, or if we're talking about the rest of the two agents in the team, then they are just tools, without purpose, until a more prominent character gives them purpose. It's annoying, frustrating, and an insult to the audience's intelligence.
Episode 12 was the first episode in a few weeks that felt like it actually belonged to the drama. It was fast, had urgency and shit actually went down. That being said, almost everyone has been reduced to a tool in one form or another and it's frustrating to watch. With 4 episodes left, I hope they dedicate enough time to everything and not just end everything next week so we have nothing but filler to watch in the final week. They've stretched certain things too far and haven't explored certain things at all lol.
Bravo bravo bravo! This is has to be one of the nicest web dramas I ever watched. Likeable characters, real problems, beautiful dresses, and of course, Lee Soo Hyuk!
My only gripe, I NEED MORE!!! Someone please fund a full 16 episodes of this because it truly deserves this, more so than a lot of other dramas we're seeing on network television lately.
The optimist in me really hopes it's someone we haven't met yet because I don't think any of our main characters…
Sameee. I would hate it if Rin and Tan don't talk it out soon and they drag the misunderstanding they're trying to make. I really hope it only lasts the next episode and things go back to normal soon because the lion is a bigger problem, and Rin's company losses are the biggest problem of them all! xD
