I didn't see any of these dramas, so it's useless for me to play the game. Anyway, it's interesting to see that only one of these dramas has a high valuation on this site. Btw, I would have added another drama, but that's another story. π€£
I don't like Joon Kyung at all! She's a very toxic character: stuck in the past and has a very distorted idea of what love and family are. She's not happy about her life, it's clear, and I feel sad for her... but the fact that she wants at all costs to drag Kyeo Re into her misery it's just really selfish of her. Maybe her character will have some kind of development late in the episodes, but I'd not be that positive.
Random OT: btw she reminds me a bit of the female lead in Gone Girl. Yes, different stories but the same type of psychopaths! π±
I think Big Mouse refers to an organisation and I also felt that the fortune teller could be the figure head (Big…
Yeah, he could be just a figurehead, or maybe a boss who likes to make affairs in the dark with no one that could be aware of his real identity! π€ About framing Chang Ho to be the next Big Mouse, I don't know. Maybe if there is really an organization, they just need him as a scapegoat.
Wow, I'm so confused right now! Everybody and no one of these characters could be Big Mouse! π€― Up to now, I don't think that Chang Ho is Big Mouse. Right now, he just gives me the idea of a good person who got stuck in something bigger than him. I am open to the possibility that he could become a bad copy of Big Mouse. Idk perhaps the course of events will lead him to become a bad person (it's stupid, I know, but I think the only way for him to become the villain of the story is to take the phrase "fake it until you make it" a little too seriouslyπ)! Same about Jerry, anyway. I feel that the situation here is just as it seems: he's just a big fan of Big Mouse. Nothing more, nothing less. π The one that just gives me a weird vibe is the fortune teller. I don't know how to explain this, but I think he just knows more about this whole situation of what he wants us to believe. π±
Perhaps, with the following episodes these feelings I have will turn into more elaborate theories! π
The scene in episode 2 where Chang Ho is trying to find someone that could kill him gave me the same vibes as when Hee Do from 2521 was trying to be arrested! π
This show wouldn't have lost anything if the romance wasn't there tbh. It seemed a bit obsessive at the beginning.…
Making him a teacher's assistant would've been a great solution to avoid this issue (the intern one wouldn't work out for me, but I get that it was just an example π). Another possible solution for me could've been to make him drop that course and switch it with another one. So, in the end, they could've lived their relationship without any of those issues. π
Writers need to stop killing the villains/making them suicide after their crimes are revealed in the last episodes,…
Exactly! Maybe the writers wanted to give him some sort of poetic ending, showing that he is the only one in control of his life and that no one else could decide for him or something like that... I wish they could have saved him, then put him in prison where he deserved to be, damn it. π
I don't know about the rest of the people watching this show, but it is like a creepy stalker romance. To me it…
Hello, sorry for the late reply. π I wrote that it's not accurate because it's not. Stockholm syndrome happens when a hostage starts to have romantic feelings for his/her kidnapper. This kind of situation is not happening in this drama. I honestly think that it's not right to use syndromes for analogies. About the fact that he exposed more people, I understand it. But when they knew the real motives behind that, no one backed down: all of the team wanted to help Soo Jae. Well, I think it's obvious why they didn't write a solid backstory about their romance: "Why Her?" it's not a romance drama. Therefore the romance storyline is weak if we compare it with the rest of the plot. It's unfair to reduce his character just like someone who wants to conquer his crush because it's clearly not his case. Gong Chan has always had willing to discover the truth about his sister's death. Even when his so-called brothers (the ones he lives with, I mean, for me, they are like that) tell him to stop it and start to live his life as Gong Chan to the full. It was shown, in the episodes, that he continued to search for the truth about the sister's case by himself. Also, I don't think he acted like she couldn't look after herself. I don't understand why people want to see a strong character being strong all the time. Characters like hers can show their fragility from time to time, and there is nothing wrong with it. If she was strong all the time, it would have been unreal. This isn't by all means that she is a damsel in distress! Finally, as I wrote before, they both hide their past from each other, not only Gong Chan. But neither of them did this to harm the other or whatever. They've just decided to hide their painful past.

Hello, sorry for the late reply. π Yeah, I can sort of agree with the fact that this drama could have survived without the romance storyline. The university background has been seen a few times, so I think it was just a pretest to make the three main characters and the rest of the team meet. So, the student/teacher relationship wasn't an issue to resolve. Even so, Gong Chan and Soo Jae met most of the time outside of it for other reasons than their relationship, so I don't think that part is significant for the storyline.

I don't think it's accurate to compare their relationship to Stockholm syndrome because, in my opinion, the situation here is quite different. As for the fact that he lied to her, it's true, but she did it too. I don't think that the fact that he lied about his identity is a problem, at least not in this case (in others, yeah, but I wouldn't want to go OT). The two had motives for hiding something about their past. About the fact that he put her in danger... actually, idk. What are the scenes that are you thinking about? Because I don't recall any of that kind atm. π€ Finally, yes, he probably crossed the lines at first (if we think about the behavior we would expect from a student, I mean, but I don't think he ever cared about this kind of situation). I can think about the scene where he declared his feelings for her so freely and then took her hand, for example. Other than that, I don't think he ever forced her into anything she didn't want to do. And the fact that they eventually became lovers wasn't something programmed or imposed by him. Also, Soo Jae reciprocates his feelings!
I agree... I really want the old owny CCW back :')
Yeah, when I wrote that he needs to open up, I didn't mean he has an introverted personality. I just thought that maybe all his grumpy responses were some kind of defense but, anyway, contribute to building a funny character and scenes, which I love. π
I agree... I really want the old owny CCW back :')
Hi! Sorry to you too for the late reply. π Actually, I'd like to see Cha Cha Woong open up a little more and get a little less grumpy with everyone. I'd just prefer that this change is not influenced by the events of his past life. π
This is only temporary, his head is not in the right place he was just comatose went to his old life came back…
Hi! Sorry for the late reply, but finals are coming, and I have a lot to study. π Anyway, I think it too that his behavior is temporary. Moreover, I understand the trauma he has from reliving his past life when he was in a coma, but I just put myself in Seul Hae's shoes, and I wouldn't like it too if a guy continuously talk about a girl that I lookalike but who isn't me. I think that he needs to elaborate on all the past events and move on, but yeah, I do believe that, in the following episodes, we'll have a more mature version of Cha Cha Woong. π
Let's be honest, it was a little weird to watch Cha Cha Woong reminiscing his past life and Seul Hae feeling awkward about it every time. π What's the point for Cha Cha Woong to be this affected by his past life? Nothing he'll do from now on can change his past, anyway, so it's useless for him to act like this π€¦π»ββοΈ(I'm still open to some character development, but for the right reasonπ ). Clearly, Choi Gum chose the wrong side (although he had his reason, he could have made a better choice), leading to a tragedy. It's sad, I know, but I hope that Cha Cha Woong doesn't be mad at him for too much. Idk I just think that Poong Baek should be the one to be angry with Choi Gum, not Cha Cha Woong (it's weird because they're basically the same person, but in the end, they share just the physical aspect and shamanic powers, nothing more).
The evil spirit is still around, sadly. Now is possessing Hee So... that idiot doesn't accept a no for an answer, damn it. I hope that Cha Cha Woong'll be able to defeat the evil spirit without harming Hee So. π€π»
Btw, I would have added another drama, but that's another story. π€£
My final round is with Kim Jae Wook and Ji Chang Wook. Obviously, I can't choose! π π€£π€£
I have my opinion on how they should act as they both are adults...but I can understand that overcoming trauma isn't an easy process.
I'm glad that Dong Joo confessed her feelings to Tae Hee. Hoping that he doesn't run away because of it! π€π»π€π»π€π»
Btw I kinda ship So Ra with the team leader. They are so cute together! π€©
And last but not least, I want to know what kind of relationship the policeman share with that driver! Why does he visit him at the hospital? π€π€
She's not happy about her life, it's clear, and I feel sad for her... but the fact that she wants at all costs to drag Kyeo Re into her misery it's just really selfish of her. Maybe her character will have some kind of development late in the episodes, but I'd not be that positive.
