This is like a dream coming true. I always wanted such a story since they make a lot of cross-dressing historical drama with women disguised as men. Seeing a BL story with this concept is GREAT. Sadly it was rather underwhelming. It was nicely done overall, but the spark was missing. Not bad, though.

Okay ... I'm here again. Am I the only one who is blown away by the Kaeng&Puth chemistry? I have never seen such a couple before. They obviously switch and are convincing in both roles as top/bottom. Never seen two playboys getting together! And before people complain about me being obsessed with top/bottom: I'm not. But the BL writeres are. Not to mention that those two seem soooo different. Kaeng being gorgeous, feminine and stylish, and Puth dressing and moving like a grandpa. Sorry, Puth! He has some undeniable charisma, but objectively speaking he isn't very attractive. Those two are such a strange match, even more in real life. But for whatever reason they click well together. (It confuses me a lot, really.) They are soooo smoth. No idea how many takes it took them to finish their scenes, but they are extremely soft and caring towards each other. The nose kisses, the touches, the ear biting! Their faces and bodies always so close. None of them seems awkward or hesitant. Really great and chill couple.

The Puth&Kaeng couple ... WOAH. You could feel through the screen that they were just going for it. No hesitation, no awkwardness. I assumed they had fun while filiming this and watched the BTS. Turns out I was right. The guy who acted as Puth seems to be a chill and funny dude. That's how it's supposed to be. Just have fun, do your job and no drama please.

This is great and everything, and while I understand that a story needs time to develop and characters to change, I'm sooo annoyed by such people who have a stick up their asses. I always encourage everyone, even my worst enemy, to try out new things. Just do it. You only live once. Throughout my whole life I only met people who told me "You can't do it". Reminds me of the YouTuber Casey Neistat who once made a video titled "Do what you can't". I wonder why people are like that. Always putting others down. Talking about Navillera: I know the wife will be supportive at the end, but she is one of those people who think you just have to keep it low and live for the sake of others (her children). Don't dare to have dreams!

This was a breathtaking series and I highly enjoyed it. But it also left a bad taste in my mouth. It looks like a redemption story, but it really wasn't. It was just pointless suffering, especially for the two main characters. How they used Ba Reum at the end was nothing less than gruesome. He never really had a choice. His brain wasn't working "normal". If the Almighty wanted to save him, he should have given him a "normal" brain to begin with. Don't get me started on Yo Han. The bad guy was the Almighty, I guess. Pointless suffering for the sake of suffering.

Is that a joke, or are they going to do that? I somewhere heard they changed the ending last minute.

LSG is great. Always was. While it's true that this performance was outstanding, he was amazing in Kings2hearts and Korean Odysee too. Normally the bad script and the bad co-actors are holding him back. No idea why he paired up with Suzy twice! I'm just saying I'm confused why people are gushing over his acting. He is in my list of Top 5 best Korean actors since forever. Give this guy a good script, a good character, good co-stars - and there is no chance he will not do well.

That was the only possible outcome. Everyone saw it coming, and there was nothing else they could have done. Another end would have been too controversial. Still, I wished for something else. It was depressing like hell and for me personally not satisfying at all.

Someone spreading hate while thinking they are super smart. Next!

Honestly, this series is horrible. It's the worst writing you can imagine. It's the definition of trash. I mean, I don't care. But I cannot take anyone serious who thinks this was in any way good. I enjoyed it more or less. I only hope the damage it did to my brain cells will not be permanent. Don't try to convince me otherwise. Don't bother.

They obviously try to explain his behavior by showing us that he was triggered by the organization. The question remains, if he had killed a human without that. I think yes. He would have become a killer sooner or later. BUT WE DON'T KNOW. Talking about the fantasy element, this medication: if there is a pill to suppress serotonin and to activate violent behavior, there should also be a medication to increase your serotonin level (which in fact are anti-depressants). I'm too lazy to look up what they give violent criminals nowadays. and as far as I know it's not helping much, but then again, this series doesn't try to be realistic with the brain surgery and everything. I just want to say that the organization could have done something to help and give him some medication to suppress his violent behavior, but they obviously have a different agenda. He himself was trying to suppress those murderous instincts, and it didn't seem that he wanted to kill people when he was younger, not like the child who threw his mother out of the window. They showed this with him confessing to the mother that he didn't want to kill the brother. The title explains it all. He was a lab rat to begin with. And if you have that kind of gene ... what to do? I personally think that genes are very, very powerful and decide most of what we become. I don't want a happy end and I don't want to justify his behavior, but if you're programmed like that ... come on! He now can feel remorse. He couldn't before. Who to blame? He was f*cked to begin with.

I wonder why they lately tried so hard to make BaReum look like a not-so-bad guy. Is this just part of a redeeming plot, or are they going for a happy end now? You have to question at this point what would have happened without the Oz organization interfering in his life. He still has to take responsibility for his crimes and wasn't the doctor telling him he would die sooner or later, because such brain surgery was never successfully done before? Could have been a lie, though. With his knowledge of how a psychopath's brain works he could help the police finding criminals. Apparently there are countless psychopaths around in South Korea. But I don't see how anyone can work with him after everything he did. They just can't overlook that, and they have to clear Yo Han's image. But then again, if he stops taking the medication and with Yo Han's brain he can be a good guy. So what now?

I think it went good around episode 6 and 7, then it got a bit slow, but since episode 14 this is a hell of a ride!

When does this air on Viki?

Keep watching. I was hooked at the end of ep 2. Started this at least three times and wasn't feeling it, but then ... woah.

"totally altered personality" Not so sure about that. He now feels guilt and remorse, but the murderous instincts are still there, and he enjoys killing. Where is this supposed to lead if not into tragedy?

I will get a heart attack from watching this series.

This is such a strange show. I had a hard time getting into it, then I was hooked, then they dragged it out and made it overly complicated, and I got a bit lost, but then I was hooked again. There are just too many victims, too many psychopaths, too many storylines. I need a list of all those names, because I have difficulties memorizing them. Sometimes I ask myself: Who was that again? There is just too much going on. It would have been better to focus more on the main characters which they did since maybe episode 14. Since then this was a hell of a ride! Lee Seung Gi's acting is as incredible as ever. Others should learn from him. Many of the older actors which I often see in other dramas are just not as good. He has such a natural approach towards acting, while the others are exaggerating badly, especially the police older men. The women are doing a much better job. Wasn't Lee Seung Gi a singer? An idol? It's honestly hilarious how his acting is so above the acting of the others. I love that guy since "My girlfriend is a Gumiho".

Okay, I lately thought about it. SamYu and the rest of the cast are sweethearts. I want to see more of them. But I don't want a season 3. I'm so done with those characters. I don't hate them, but I'm just soo done. I would prefer watching some lives or other shows with them. Those six guys are all hilarious and have great dynamics and interactions. It's such a shame that there is no good writer out there. If they will really make a season 3 I think I will skip on it. I just don't care about their love stories anymore.

I was on team LiCheng and MuRen from the very beginning. Both have good chemistry, the acting is natural, their scenes were funny. But in this episode I couldn't get into the emotions and the characters at all.
