Some people in the comments make me feel like it's their first time watching a Korean drama.....
I blame Parasite, ever since that movie won the oscar a huge wave of people entered the scene of Korean dramas, and you can see them reacting to every drama that aired since then, as if it's the first time things happen. I've seen dramas as cliche and cheesy as it gets, be praised as original and romantic, when in fact, the content of them is as overused as it gets.
This girl is surrounded by irresponsible friends, Gong Ji Seon on episode 14, and Gong Ji Hee on episode 26. In both cases they fully knew it's not good for her to know..
Kang Bae x Yeo Rin, Weol Joo x Chief Gwi (kind of)
I took that as her memory alone, and didn't think Chief Gwi was in the flashbacks as well. Same thing happened at the end of episode 4 when Kang Bae held her hand, she remembered the prince, and had flashbacks as well..
Although looking at episode 5 again Chief Gwi seemed lost in thoughts as well, you might be right.
I feel like the writer has this grand script in their head, and they want us to understand it when it's told in such an odd way, timeline keeps jumping back and forth, when they could've just showed us all the flashbacks and then their consequences in the future.
Some of it is understandable of course, but it's unnecessarily complicated, makes the viewer depends on theories to see their own version of the story. I'm a fan of mysterious dramas that make you "use your head" more than others, but this isn't it.. This is one of the dramas that is banking on popularity from videos that are titled "***** EP## EXPLAINED!" "***** ENDING EXPLAINED!" and I can already see these videos won't even be consistant since the timeline is so confusing but everyone wants to be the smartypants and say "I understood this!!"...
Bad guys in super hero movies are more realistic than this antagonist, at least they try to explain the way they got their super powers. I wrote a long sarcastic comment about the show below, a month ago. But to each their own I guess, I just had to voice my opinion when you said you're going to watch it.
I can not watch this drama on netflix. And I changed the language to english. Even though that I can not see anything…
I gave up on Netflix long ago, even if you use VPN a lot of VPN services are detected and blocked by Netflix. I just thought "their loss" and stopped paying them money.
I love Jung So Min and I love this drama, I only wish they paid more attention to the patients instead of the main leads, it feels like their romance just progressed too fast because they've been on screen 90% of the show while there has only been 2-3 major patient sub-stories. I don't really mind the fast-paced romance or anything, it's just that they will certainly drag it at the end because there will be no more content to progress the story..
Also, they should've lowered the volume on Han Woo Joo's explosive screaming.. yes she can scream but adjust/normalize the volume so it doesn't blow up my eardrums!! T-T
Finally got around binging this drama.. I loved it, even though higher-ups corruption was present, it was very bearable, and it showcased character development a lot. It made me feel like I'm watching real humans, that can improve and redeem themselves. Most crime dramas and specially ones envolving kids have the characters only get worse and worse until the end. I also love how Cha Young Jin changed every life she touched to the better..
I watched this while it was airing, and rewatched it a few times since then, I wish I could rate this 11/10, because it's just that good, but I don't want to discredit the other dramas I rated as 10/10.
In my opinion, you should watch 365: Repeat the Year or Nobody Knows superior crime/mystery dramas than this one,…
Thanks, I've been thinking about giving Nobody Knows a try, I guess I will. It's not that hard to make a drama superior to this one, but I've read interesting things about Nobody Knows so I'll try it. xD
Was it a year? It felt like maybe the spring directly following the winter they were together? So a few months?…
I assumed it's been a year since episode 16 is called "After a Long Winter" and when she left she said "Spring is here" so I figured it went full round back to Spring again. I haven't been paying attention to which grade Hwi is in so Idk.
But anyways, it was unnessary to give the couple that break. If she can't look at her aunt she shouldn't live with her, she doesn't have to leave the city. I'm sure they could've came with a better excuse to make her leave, if they WANT to use that cliché, but bad reasoning just shows it's an excuse to use it.
Also when she was eating with her aunt and mom she saw Eun Soeb with a girl and that was just a scene they forgot to come back to and explain.

There are a lot better ways to waste time.. x-x
