Well, it's also the fact that he's so damn fine to the mostly females on here (no doubt to plenty of gay/bi guys…

I honestly care a lot about what type of projects actors sign up for, but Ji Sung could choose anything and it wouldn't matter, we'd still watch it. Most of the dramas he's been starring in has been pretty basic with the exception of a few brilliant ones in between (you know which ones). If anything, I'd wish he DID choose better dramas. He's got a knack for darker characters but doesn't get these sort of roles too often. Cast him as a painfully badass villain - I'd eat that shit raw!
I guess the fourth time is a charm... lol... I finally made it past episode two... Now that I'm on episode 10…
Yeah, can't believe no one's talking about that. I mean, sure, I've looked at my screen countless times and thought, fvck, why is this jerk such an ass??? But at the end of the day, he's just a product of his father's emotional neglect and abuse. You really can't help feeling sorry for him, especially in those couple of scenes when we catch a glimpse of what he really is: A big child at heart who is desperately yearning for the approval and care he never got, playing a role he never wanted to play. It's so obvious he wants to come clean and make things right from the start, and he keeps wanting to do so throughout the whole thing but keeps missing the timing. And at some point, you just don't get any more chances to rectify yourself. Parental approval is a ten ton brick. It's so crazy how much it can weigh down on someone. That's why it's interesting to see him compared to his brother, it serves as a good contrast. It wouldn't be right to compare their individual experiences of course, but interesting to see how vastly differently they tackle their situations.
every damn character is getting on my nerves. dropped it. 🙃
Yeah, the characters make this a challenging watch. They tried too hard to make them as unique and interesting as possible that it sort of came out forced and soulless. However, if you're a PSJ fan, you'll wanna watch this regardless. I'm used to seeing him in more lighthearted shows, so seeing him in a more tragic setting is really refreshing. The way he glares here is absolutely new to me. Raw emotion is pouring out of those eyes!!
its not "boring", it gives a really strange vibe while watching it kinda reminds me of the movie Burning, both…
I'm sorry but the pacing loses you midway, which is a problem. I'm at ep 5 and find this extremely interesting but draggy enough for me consider dropping it. I had to watch the last two eps I watched on 2x speed to make up for the odd pacing - which I shouldn't have to. Also, I cannot connect with any of the characters. I get that the FL can't read dangerous situations well due to her condition but how tf could a "cop" have such bad judgment?
You nailed it with this review. I never fast forward anything I watch. And if I do press the 2x button, that show for me has inarguably lost me with its pacing.
Think I'll watch something else, as I doubt I'll be anything but annoyed by the end of this show.
You know what.. just when you think you feel a fleeting emotion of sympathy for Fukushima, or I don't know, some form of understanding for her behaviour, it really doesn't take her long to bring you back to zero. She is OBNOXIOUS. To the bitter end.
I like this drama story. However, the FL, just like in some other Japanese drama I watched, is a complete idiot.…
I am rewatching Kimi wa Pet. This should give you the answers you're seeking.
In short, you don't have anything to gain from being strong, smart and independent as a woman in Asia. So girls deliberately play dumb to get by in their male dominated world. I've had Asian female friends and it always baffled me how different their public versus private "personas" were. One moment they are this ditzy, rambling, cutesy fool and the next when everybody else leave, they turn into this intelligent, bright woman.

The pilot episode blew me away
