Daffodils

Thank you! (silly me, it is a Netflix series!)

Where did you watch it?

I have watched this drama 3 times, while I totally respect your opinion, I would say that Jiwoo/Pildo relationship was one of the backbones of this series. Their relationship during the series was not romantic. Pildo is an important piece in uncovering the truth and his feelings towards her were not as potential lover but as a colleague that learned to trust her; and mainly as a projection of the love he has for his sister and his desire for justice for her. Additionally, Pildo was not always a "good cop", he had a very rough and dubious past, just like her. Their intimate scene in the last ep was not a romantic interlude but a raw expression of desire from two very tormented souls.

I loved So Hee and Bo Hyun on this too much. This rough and tormented work relationship and the romantic attraction they portrayed was deeply moving. Their sex scene it is engraved in my memory. The sensual raw emotion of two physically and mentally tortured lovers made such an impact on me. So Hee was so brave in this role both not afraid of not looking "attractive" and daring to bare all when needed. I said I liked it too much because it was so difficult to watch other works by them. Particularly, So Hee. The next thing I tried to watch with her was Nevertheless, what a mistake! Everything about it felt wrong, I hated her pairing with Song Kang, I so disliked the storyline. She thrives in action, brave emotional roles and I am so glad that we can see her back into that kind of territory in Gyeongseong Creature. She is doing brilliantly there. Regarding Bo Hyun I liked him in Military Prosecutor Doberman. I am follow both of them so hopefully good roles keep coming to them.

Yes, there could be a country restriction, however, most people I shared here that are in different countries can watch it there. I know it is different with Prime video. This series is def not available in my country of residence via Prime

Yes, I did after she stood up for herself, then the rest of the episode was fine. thank you

Ep 9 - Finally!!! 100% rewarding watching. What a fab episode, I was cheerleading all the way for our FL 🤩🤩🤩 and to top up my favourite villain couple could not let me down, how they managed to be so hot in all situations!!! together and individually their scenes are master classes - Bravo to Yi Kyun and Ha Yoon, top actors! - In Woo performance is so moving, every one of his gesture provoke an emotion in me I just would like a bit more actual romance with our FL. I hope this happens soon

Many thanks!

Where did you watch the "original version". I agree with the rest of your comments.

I knew from the reviews and ratings that this series was not the best but I wanted to watch it because of the ML In Woo and because it was based on an interesting part of Korean history, but this is neither a good historical drama nor a good romance drama. I am afraid to say that neither In Woo nor Kim So Hyun are convincing in their characters, though In Woo does a much better job as his character is more endearing. In Woo is an actor who has a good chemistry with all his CP but here even that does not work for me. It was awkward/cringy to see. In the end, I was only interested in the Herb Shop Owner, performed by Yoo Hwa. She is a great actor, I really cannot understand why she has not been more successful in the K acting scene. She is in Knight Flower and she shines there. Lots of chemistry with her CP, General Go. I have fast-forwarded lots because I could not stand the rhythm, the editing was messy and I wanted to see what happened in the end. So, the rating was fair. This is not more of a 7/10.

The indispensable viewing is the first season "Ossan Love" and it is a great series. The movie is like a bridge between the seasons but brings very few new elements. To watch it is advisable but not so important. Do not bother with the other ones as Maki is not even a character there.

Many thanks!!!

I am concerned that in this kind of drama, they easily suggest that a case of depression can be sorted out by falling in love or having someone and we know this is not true. Some cases of depression are a serious imbalance in brain chemistry that are not sorted out by changes in external circumstances. Reactive depression is different, as it is a response to negative experiences, still we need to thread these cases carefully, they are not simply resolved by falling in love. Falling in love is an emotion that gives us a serotonin boost but normally the slump can be quite daunting for people with depression.

I have to thank you for your comment! I stopped when the boss asked her to kneel in front of the client it was too much!!! such melodrama for goodness sake, but after reading your post I came back and finished the episode!

I had the same impression and I also like both of them. I think the script is letting them down. Also, the plotline is not original. We have watched other dramas with similar storylines. They deserve better.

Exactly! well said!

Totally agree with you! I wrote about it earlier on.

I am glad you found a reason to keep going, halfway through the Consultant wanted her to be blamed for malpractice I felt so disgusted I had to stop! 😆
