I admit that I have stopped watching around Ep. 9 because I plan to binge when I have time.

But I still think that Lawyer Mom was likely the attorney who won Ji's appeal (assuming he's the brother of the girl who committed suicide?) because of what she said at the All Care Mom luncheon about that particular case.

Also, up through Ep. 9 - I'm pretty sure she was never in a scene with Mr. Ji - unlike the other Moms. It's possible she defended him 10 years ago in court but may now begin to realize that he may be dangerous. If so, I'll be interested in seeing how her story - and the story of her sons - will play out.

Not only does it have a happy ending but there is no silly/meaningless "break-up" mid-way through the series. This is the only k-drama that I have given a 10⭐ rating. The story is crazy (one of the best choreographed pillow fights I have ever seen) but the love is real.

lol, same here - I was already FF through much of the scenes and did a complete stop at Ep. 10 so I could read spoilers and FF if necessary. But I don't have time to waste on this and at this point, it will be a "drop" on my MDL watchlist.

I was planning to discontinue my VPN (the only way I can watch Disney+ in Asia) but this looks promising.

but, jeeeze, I hate having to watch only on my computer/laptop screen instead of my television. 😥

Last week, I said that after binge watching thru Ep. 10, I thought I should probably wait until the show was complete (Ep. 12) before watching (with a heavy finger on the FF button). I just read comments below - for me, I made the right decision. I love happy endings and maybe we will have one. But I'll need to be spoiled first and then decide how much to FF thru. This is NOT the way to capture viewers who want romance.

One of my favorite scenes was Hae-yi and Sun-jae on the {trope alert!] swing set - each disclosing secrets and w/out a doubt signaling to the viewers that they are destined to be a romantic couple. Perhaps not in high school. . . . . .. but eventually. I've kinda lost interest in the older pair because the show has now become a "thriller" instead of a "mystery". My 💕💕always seem to belong to the teens - naive, dedicated, loyal, intelligent.

Thank you for your answer. I liked SML from the beginning, even w/knowledge that he WAS the 2nd lead and wouldn't win the heroine. But he deserved a decent, happy ending and I put this one on hold around ep. 7 or 8. Now that the series is complete, I can speed through the scenes that are positive (including the Main Leads) and make it to the end. Otherwise - this convoluted plot (especially re: the murdered princess) was beginning to drag big time. Again - thanks.

I haven't watched yet, but are we to believe that for 10 years, Mr. Ji has never used that pen in front of CcY ? But now he uses it in front of Haeng Seon? I guess I'll have to watch carefully when I have time.

My craziest of all crazy theories is: Stalker girl is the one who is actually killing people.

Really? I have not seen the "original" tag on this show. It is all very confusing. Thanks for the clarification.

I'm also sad that Ji Don Hee is the probable villain. At this point, I'm not eager to watch future episodes until the series is complete.

JSY is portraying a character in early-mid '30s - just as the ML is.

However, calling people "shitty" because they have a different opinion is rather. . . . .un-productive and definitely unpersuasive.

I agree - FL was ~22/23 in 2010 as she was apparentlyy a "new"member of the Korea handball team. ML was ~ 22/23 in 2010 because he was stucying for his teacher's certificate (so presumably had completed university/college).

Hae-yi was 5 years old in 2010 - so now 17 (current time in the show is 2022).

If at some point the series tells us the exact ages of the ML and FL, then I will revise my timelin. But not until then.

Please accept this disagreement kindly.

The producer of Crash Course is Studio Dragon. TvN is - I believe - the funding mechanism and they are the "broadcaster" within/ Korea.

Netflix is a distributor - they pay $$$/won to tvn/Studio Dragon for the exclusive rights to stream on Netflix globally. They do not hire the cast or dictate the script. Netflix wants CONTENT - they want CONTENT that they can stream on their platform. Sometimes they actually fund production (it's called "Netflix original") but Crash Course is not on their list. of 'originals".

Maybe a bit earlier than September. Looks like Pandora is next (March 11 start - 16 episodes); Tale of the Nine-Tailed (May 6 start? - 12 episodes); Arthdal (June 17 start? - 12 episodes) and then Uncanny Counter 2 - start date perhaps (???) July 29. All tentative - UC2 is still filming.

In Korea, the average age of first time mothers is 30. Since Hae-yi is 17 years old and NHS is ~ 35, then she would have been 17/18 when Hae-yi was born. So, not too young physically, but VERY young in Korea.

My wacky/crazy theory is that Nan Haeng-ja (Hae-yi's mom) is somehow connected to hockey boy. When she abandoned Hae=yi, she appeared to be nicely dressed and well-coifed. Grandmother said they had not heard from her in years - they didn't even know about Hae-yi, who was 5 years old at the time. I think we will see her eventually, but I don't want her to come to the rescue.

Fantasy is not my preferred genre so the only reason I gave this a try is because of Jung So Min. She was outstanding in Part 1 - creating a unique character (the soul of a powerful mage assassin who loses her powers when her soul is trapped in the body of a weak woman). I continued to watch Part 1 because the plot was coherent, there were a wide range of characters who had their own stories/romances and the world of Daeho was fascinating. Awesome cinematography and CGI.

Part 2's FL was the same "soul", but her personality/character were very different from Part 1 (spoiler: amnesia). The plot was all over the place, my favorite characters were side-lined in order to focus totally on the main couple. I ended up Fast forwarding through much of Part 2.

From my standpoint, changing the FL actress didn't impact my watching experience - it was the bad writing, nonsensical explanations for certain events, and the almost 100% focus on the romance in Part 2.

If you enjoy JSM, then watch Part 1 for a few episodes to see if the overall plot/characters are of interest.

I tried watching the show earlier when first released, but decided to wait a few weeks to see if the story would gain momentum. Last night I got up to Ep. 7 and now I have this sinking feeling that FL is going to end up pregnant. Just too many references to her overwhelming desire to be a mother (I can relate) and his fear or being tied to a family. And it would explain the purpose of that off-screen sex (with the SML) w/out even an advance kiss. If this is going to be a Who Is The Daddy story, I'm not interested.

Her next project is "Kill Bok Soon", a Netflix movie that will be released in a few weeks. She plays a contract killer with a young *teen) daughter. In the trailer she looks stunning - around 35 years old at most. Same as Crash Course.
