'Scarecrow' Director: "A satisfying ending? Even the real-life figure wasn't punished..."
“Since there were no satisfying endings in reality, I couldn’t just do that for the drama.”
“How can I provide a sense of catharsis when there are actual victims and those responsible remain unpunished?”
“The studio and the channel told me they needed a refreshing twist, so I asked, ‘Should I strike Cha Siyoung with lightning and kill him off?’ or ‘Should I kill him off in a traffic accident?’ But I couldn’t just do that, could I?”
Even now, in 2026, there's still so many prejudices against single mothers. Imagine what it feels like in 1988. So, I won't blame Sunyoung for choosing her father, because she has to think about her child. If she's not pregnant, I have no doubt she will spit on that old man's face. Bc even with Kang Taeju's support, it won't be comparable to the protection she will get from her father's money and power. She's just being realistic.
I'm sorry but Kang Taeju is so stupid. How many times did he fell for Cha Siyoung tricks and gaslighting? It's like he never learn! Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me...
Watching ep 8 is very frustrating, bc while what the killer did is very despicable, it's the corrupt cops, prosecutors and the whole system that made those innocent people suffered more. They only care about themselves and feel no regret of what they're doing.... Too close to reality...
Good acting, especially Go Soo, but the writing could've been tighter. The gangster storyline and the architecture competition could be cut short, and instead they should develop the relationship between the trio leads. Because I don't really feel their connections... I'd like to see more the friendship between Myojin and Huisu, also how the affair between Myojin and Junho happened. I think it would be more impactful for the viewers if we see how complex Junho's feelings for Myojin. Instead I just felt so so when the betrayal was revealed...
Tbh I don't really understand what happened in the past when Kwon Siwon's mom suddenly attacked by some evil spirit? What are they? And KSW almost get attacked too? But her mom managed to stop it... What's it all got to do with the curse? Or is it just some plot point to get Do Hyeryung sneaked the talisman to KSW and started the chain reaction for all the disasters?
The actress for Do Hyeryung is Kim Shia (also starring in Walking On Thin Ice). She and Kwon Siwon actress (I don't know her name) are amazing! Too bad there's no credit for them here....
For one thing, I'm glad they didn't push on the romance line bc I think that's the weakest part of this drama. And I'm happy that the girls' friendship continues. One of the best drama of 2026 so far and I dont mind for season 2 😁
Kim Youngkwang subtle acting is so good in this drama. His character, Han Dongjin, is a person who doesn't really show his emotions. But, instead of being wooden, Kim Youngkwang brings those hidden emotions through subtle mannerisms, small movements and his expressive eyes.
Okay but it irked me a bit when Yunsu was supposed to be incognito but let her unusually long hair in display... but then again, the cops still failed to recognize her when she literally walked passed them....so I don't know who is more stupid
I love it when married couples do crimes together and the wife is slightly more unhinged than the husband, so the husband running around cleaning up her mess. But he doesn't mind at all bc he loves her. Also her reason to kill the painter bc he's rude to her husband is romantic in a twisted kind of way. I think the wife is always a bit psychotic, and the husband always knew (maybe he's a bit psychotic too?). So they make a great partner in crime.

If only they have more screen time...
