Sung Jae's acting was absolutely brilliant. Even though I knew I was watching him portray Gang Cheol, it genuinely felt like I was watching Kim Young Kwang himself. That's how seamlessly he carried over the character. Kim Ji Hoon also absolutely nailed the last two episodes. His dual performance was phenomenal—he showcased two completely different personalities with incredible precision 🔥
Overall, I loved almost everything about this drama. The only aspect that didn't work for me was the romance. It felt unnecessary, otherwise outstanding drama.
Finally finished this drama, and I honestly think it deserves way more hype. Some of the cases were a bit weak,…
One thing I really loved was how both fathers acknowledged Shaosang and Yuan's bond. 🤭 They both recognized how important they were to each other, and that was such a lovely touch and clever writing.
Finally finished this drama, and I honestly think it deserves way more hype. Some of the cases were a bit weak, but the leads' chemistry carried the drama effortlessly. I also appreciated how they addressed women's rights in such a natural way instead of making a big fuss about it.
Shaosang is hilariously jealous 🤣🤣 and his temper, oh lord help 🤣🤣🤣
A-Yuan just obediently goes along with him every time. 🤣🤣 I love my chaotic couple and their adorable child 🥹❤️
so you're gonna cast a man who admitted he had relations without consent and then sued the women for defamation…
SELF-INFLICTED BRUISES: Evidence Manipulation: The bruises that turned out to be self-inflicted (self-inflicted) huffingtonpost.kr/news/articleVi… (forensic analyst) Consistent with A’s own admission changing from “extreme violence” to “there was no force at all” allkpop.com/article/2016/0… The court stated: «"But it is also not possible to say that oppressive tactics were used." (lbox.kr 2018)» This is not an ordinary statement. It is a judicial finding that closes the door to misinterpretation. The term "oppressive tactics" means that there was no evidence of coercion, intimidation, physical or psychological pressure, power imbalance, or any condition that would have prevented Ms. A from freely giving consent (such as intoxication, unconsciousness, fear, or a medically established freeze response). "Oppressive tactics" encompasses all forms of coercion, both physical and psychological. According to the court's findings, none were proven in this case. The logic is: Which forensic expert would dare risk their academic reputation in a high-profile case like this? If their opinion was nonsense or violated scientific literature, it would immediately be heavily criticized by the forensic community — it could lead to malpractice, loss of credibility, or even ethical charges. However, in this case, Prof. Lee Jeong-bin’s (SNU) analysis stated that A’s bruises were self-inflicted — and there was no strong scientific criticism from the opposing side that could substantially refute it. This means the opinion is based on facts, bruise patterns, and literature that can be accounted for. The next anomaly: A claimed there was extreme violence in the inner thigh area — her legs were forcibly held at a 90-degree angle, her vulva was slapped repeatedly, and there was forced penetration. However, the bruise photos that A herself published through Dispatch did not show / had no record of genital trauma or bruises on the inner thighs or vulva. This is not “not all rapes have genital injuries / every case must have genital trauma.” What is being discussed: Because A herself admitted there was violence in the inner thigh area + forced penetration. If that claim was true, the medical evidence should match — but it did not. This is a major and suspicious anomaly → meaning the evidence A submitted is contradictory and refutes her own story & automatically exposes her own lie. Media Play: A spread these fake evidence photos to the media in the middle of the investigation period to shape public opinion, which shows malicious intent (mens rea) to destroy LJW’s reputation. That's why the dispatch at the end of the report added an important note. DISPATCH NOTE!!!! There is only one truth. Someone is lying. One thing is certain: no one can make a hasty conclusion. There are only two people there. (Dispatch, July 21, 2016)
