Great review - speaks for many of us. In Part 1, all of the character stories were inter-related. Director Park Joon Hwa said it was like a hexagon - six sides/stories w/interaction amongst everyone at various points.

Part 2 was a straight line - Jang Uk and JBY - everything revolved around them. The Netflix viewership proves your point - viewers unimpressed.

Thanks - I'll pass based on your review. I read somewhere that in the last John Wick movie (No. 4), Keanu Reeves spoke only 380 words or so. In other words, no real character plot.

If you like drama - as in MELOdrama with lots of angst, then you will enjoy it.

Me? I like rom-coms. This is not a rom-com. I was initially intrigued, then bored and don't worry about watching the moment the episodes are released. at this point, I'll wait to find out if there is a happy ending or not because I don't have time to invest (like reading the subs) in something that ends poorly/sad (from my viewpoint)

See my edits in above comment. Hong Kong (or Singapore or Japan) are nothing more than network "servers" located in those countries (I think that is the correct term) . The subs are generated by Disney+ (or the original broadaster like TVN). Some dramas have more options than others. Check the "settings" on the drama you are watching and see what options you have for subs and dubbing. Good luck!

You have to set your Disney+ settings for the English subs. I can't recall if I must do it for each separate drama or if it's automatic once you do the setting.

Edited: I'll go check mine right now (i'm currently watching "Call it Love" on my VPN/Disney+)

edit #2: when you watch the drama, go to the tiny icon in upper right hand corner for the settings. You can choose the sub langauge and in some cases you can choose to listen with dubbed English.

If you have a Disney+ account, you should be able to access with your PVN. BUT, you may need to roam around for the best country. I always have luck with Hong Kong. And if I recall correctly, South Korea is blocked.

The bells never showed up again in Part 2, so the answer is "no" - he never knew why she went wild, He planned to tell Mu-deok?Naksu what Master Lee said: so long as she didn't try to use her energy/power, she wouldn't run wild. He never got a chance to tell her (because she was drunk) - which is why he felt guilty.

Noone knew about the bells except Jin Mu (and possibly Jin Mu's henchman).

Me too - to the extent that I'm invested.

New trailer - w/In-soo.!!! And English subs. 😀😀😀

In Soo will next appear in "The Good Bad Mother" (https://kisskh.at/733003-bad-mother) which begins April 26 on Netflix, It's a main role, but looks like he will be SML. 🙁

I've seen July 29th as tentative release date for Uncanny Counter 2.

Thanks for the brief summary. It looks intriguing and I enjoyed Jean Do Yeon in "Crash Course in Romance", but I will have my finger on the FF button to get through the violence.

Thanks for sharing. Normally, I enjoy watching a k-drama that includes the nonverbal movements and expressions, but 16 episodes of micro-steps (not even min-steps, these are micro steps, haha) has killed my anticipation to watch. I still haven't watched last week's episodes, partially because time is a premium for me right now. I'll binge a few episodes all at once at some point - perhaps before the final episode or perhaps after but I'm in no rush.

Yeah. . . . pretty much as you said. Part 2 was garbage but I could have forgiven quite a bit if they didn't destroy my favorite couple: Dang-gu and Cho-yeon. This is the only Hong Sister drama I have ever watched and I won't watch another one. The Director (Park Joon Hwa) was one of my favorites - Secretary Kim; This is my first Life. But I'll hesitate in the future.

Need to define "villain" in order to figure this out.

Is it the person who may have "saved" No. 50 (you will need to watch to understand that one) by giving her a new identity?
Is it the person who used No. 50 to be a killer?
Is it the person who conspired to kill the former President?
Are there TWO conspiracies? THREE?

I am assuming that since the we are only at Ep. 6 of a 16 Episode show then the husband is NOT the real villain. I'm watching w/a heavy hand on the FF button because I think the body count is going to get pretty high.

thanks for taking the time to write this review. I "paused" around Ep. 7 because when I begin a drama that has comedy and romance, I don't like too much evil/death. I waited for end to decide whether to binge it or drop it. Your review convinces me to drop it - I don't have the kind of time to waste. It could have been charming but like so many k-dramas, lost its way around 2/3 through. Again - thanks for your review.

That scene was ambiguous, but he was very "guarded" (or hurt?) when he said "do I know you?" (because he obviously DID know her). So, close friends or close in some other way - I assume we will eventually find out since the monogram leather tag scene must mean some meaning.

They were "close" once before. She gave him monogrammed leather tags for his golf bag. For all we know, they may have been together before she hooked up with DJ.

Alcoholism is a serious disease. I don't like Min-young, but she is ill and needs help. I hope she gets it and I hope they don't give her a silly, "happy" ending with some sort of insta-cure.

I'm probably crazy but YOON Joon has the same surname as YOON Dae Hong ("Uncle" Daehong) and when I re-watched those handful of scenes between Joon and DJ (no dialogue - just "dagger" eyes), I wonder if they know each other - perhaps as children. I think both men are at least loosely related to Uncle - perhaps to be revealed eventually.

If so, then perhaps Yoon Joon has different reasons for his antagonism towards DJ and his concern for WJ.

So, Aramintai - do you plan to watch or not. Since it's on Netflix, I'll give it a try but imagine I will be disappointed. Crap shoot.
