Phenomenal drama! The rating is well deserved. There ist just one thing I didn't understand. Why was Joo Won feeling sorry for what his father did? It wasn't his fault. I know that "family" is very important in Asian culture. I can understand if parents feel responsible for their children but not vice versa. Can someone enlighten me?

I finished it today. Binge watched the second half since yesterday. Great drama! I'm still in awe. And beautiful bromance with characters that care for each other deeply. Every characters - even the villains - were great to watch.

That's the only Kdrama I consider watching twice. It's really well made.

People who watch this for the bromance: Watch Beyond Evil instead and thank me later.

Watch Beyond Evil instead. Much better plot, better heroes, better villains, better suspense, and better bromance too.

"very good for an idol actor "
Lee Seung Gi was a singer before he come to acting. Just saying. The guy is phenomenal and my favorite actor out there. Same goes for Seo In Guk. Both very talented and great in emotional scenes. Jinyoung just doesn't have the right intensitiy for such a drama and such scenes. The writing my be at fault too.

Dropped. From the very beginning I had problems to "feel" the series. Neither the villains nor the heroes are well portrayed and developed. Only Yo Han seems to be an interesting character, but the rest of the cast is lacking. Who cares at this point who dies and who lives? The series wasn't able to make me feel for the characters and the plot. It's a classic case of wasted potential, because they could have done so much more with this. For me this is a big fail.

In "He is Psychometric" his acting felt very fresh, charming and natural. I looked him up only to discover he was a member of a k-pop group. I had no idea. But in this drama ... I don't know. The Ga On character is going on my nerves, haha.

I have seen Jinyoung in "He is psychometric" and I remember how people criticized his acting. People are rather harsh with idols. Back then I thought he was doing a terrific job, very charming. But in such a heavy drama he is miscasted. Maybe it's the baby face, I don't know. Or just the badly written character. I cannot connect with his emotions. It's so over the top and lacks any depths. Ji Sung can pull it off with his overly dramatic acting. Jinyoung not so much. But whatever. He is not bad at all, but he is no Lee Seung-Gi. Haha.

But I don't see real star potential ... he is doing a good job, but he lacks that spark ...

Oh, people are awake now? The last time I commented about the corona virus on this site I got lots of hate, haha!

They really overdid it. There are so many scenes that make no sense until you assume that those two men are interested/attracted to each other. Of course I never expected those two to get together, but don't ruin it like that. I'm pissed.

I will admit I don't even watch this series properly. Haha! I tend to skip many scenes. But from what I was sensing those two had a good buddy relationship, like you said, more like siblings or family. It's strange. I was really put off by it.

Hahaha! Couldn't agree more. This series reminds me of some American TV series where they do some good old queerbaiting. They introduce two men with insane chemistry, and then we have to watch them getting into a relationship with women whith whom they have no chemistry at all. Not to mention that Yo Han was almost dying in this episode while Ga On was making out. Terrible writing. There obviously is a lot of sexual tension between those two. Yo Han is very alluring and seductive. He is believable as a gay character. And Ga On rejecting Soo Hyun for such a long time and being only her "friend" was also suspicious. They made it look like those two men could be interested in each other romantically. Of course they would never confirm it. But now we got ... this. Sigh ...

Yeah, especially the family scenes and the bonding between those three is great to watch. The rest? Jesus ... everyone else is sooo annoying. I guess I'm supposed to hate the villains, but I'm just annoyed.

Ep 13 was horrible. Ga On accepting Soo Hyun out of the blue. I didn't see that romance coming. And then she dies. Bonding with a character before the character dies. That's one of the worst clichees you can imagine. Even the very emotional death scene just made me roll my eyes. There is something seriously wrong with the writing.

You know, I don't follow this series closely. I hardly know what's going on, but the chemistry between Yo Han and Ga On is off the charts. Is it BL? Of course not. But it's hilarious how they managed to show us how Yo Han almost died and while fighting for his life, Ga On has nothing better to do than kiss the girl. He didn't know, but that's not the point. I'm talking about the writing. That's the way to kill a ship! I have nothing against a bonding scene with the girl, but the timimg! Just perfect *irony off* And then the end. Yeah, that's the way to kill another ship! What were they thinking? I didn't even cry, I was just shaking my head in disbelief. This is such a mess.

I was baffled seeing the high rating. I'm aware that the atmosphere is somehow nice. You feel relaxed and fuzzy watching this. But at the same time it's boring and uninspiring with characters that come across very unrealistic and bland. Watching this series feels like reading those countless BL japanese manga with those student concil boys.

Ga On und Yo Han behave like two boyfriends who broke up. I can't get over how they dare to portray that "bromance". For a high budget drama with famous actors this is mindblowing.

I will try it :)
