It’s really difficult to rate this without the next season. It is somewhat like The Two Towers, which sort of makes the stadium survivors/soliders Rohan? I don’t hate (all of) them, but I don’t have any investment in them. It’s even more difficult to accept a new crop characters immediately after seeing so many of the ones we loved die (one of them a young child at that). And despite how much screen time the new characters received, they remain two-dimensional. All I can hope for is that the third season demonstrates that the second season wasn’t just plotless filler and was instead setting the stage for a subsequent season that fleshes out the new characters and plot lines.

Yep, that was my understanding of the big reveal of Sang Won.

Having watched this and loved it, I never read the reviews on here and I’m baffled by how low they are (even though the overall score is high). This was so much fun to watch, mainly because it was so “crazy.” On a more serious note, I was really impressed with the show’s portrayal of and treatment of mental health problems. I know many wanted K to be a separate character, but that would’ve removed the very important and timely message of not berating yourself for mental issues or trauma, not suppressing them and trying to be “normal,” and ultimately learning to face your pain and trauma and finally comfort and accept the version of yourself who suffered in the past, or even present. My review in short: “Crazy” is good.

I actually burst out laughing, and I’m pretty sure they wanted me to cry.

I’ve been trying to fill the void by watching horror movies, The Killing Vote, and anything else I can think of, but I’m still either here or on YouTube watching fanvids, but I also am not emotionally prepared to rewatch yet.

He did so much with a character who had very few lines, and one we weren’t even sure understood Korean. When he refused the light from Junmo and broke his cigarette I actually yelped. I also liked that we didn’t get any backstory for him because it heightened the suspense of whether he would protect BIBI at the end or rat her out to her father. I would pay damn good money to watch a show or movie about his life (Where’s that scar from?) before the show, or even what happens to him after he sends BIBI to safety.

Seriously. I watched the scene when Gi Cheul confronts him and kicks him out several times just to see all the emotions he managed to express with his face and voice, let alone killing his lines and brandishing a cigarette.

If you’re a fan of Infernal Affairs/The Departed, you have to watch this.

NOT happy lol

lol thank you for the reminder. I’ll be sleeping for a week or two now.

Tbh BIBI’s lifetime bodyguard is low key the best character

Jeez I just finished this and Moving what do I do now

Someone make it happen plz

It’s shameful that MDL doesn’t include all the cigarettes in the cast list. I’m only on ep 4 and they are somehow one of the most compelling elements lol

I’m inclined to agree, even though it’s quite frustrating. I don’t make it any easier on myself by watching older shows and movies in the meantime lol

Trying to force myself to wait for all the episodes so I don’t keep mixing up all the crime dramas in my head as they air at once. Emphasis on “trying.”

Lee Dong Sik fanmob running like mad to every streaming service screaming for a confirmed release date (Yes, I am in the fanmob.)

Wow they’re really doing everything they can to make this drama impossible to watch, let alone remember from episode to episode. My brain shows up to every new episode with a mix of all the currently airing crime dramas and I have to remind (aka rewind) myself of everything. I guess that’s good for them in the end because I do like the show so far and will most likely end up rewatching it as a binge so I’ll hopefully understand and remember what’s going on. Sneaky Amazon, I see you.

I know. It makes it even more heartbreaking to watch the scenes when Mi Mo tells her she thinks of her as her real grandmother and does all the things she wished Oh Nam had done for her.

Yep, Mo Mi tells Chun Ae that it was Oh Nam from the assault.
