I just did not understand why they could save Ma Rin's life (though we are not sure how long they managed to live in the end and whether they escaped their fate), but for some reason Se Young's dad just could not be saved, or so they acted like. They should stay with him, not try to go to the places he should be in, but well...
Honestly, I did not expect to like this drama that much when I decided to watch it. But this was such a great drama for me, I understand why this is called a hidden gem! The acting was great, I especially liked Lee Je Hoon and Kang Gi Doong (I have just noticed his character has the same name LOL) and their friendship. Shin Min Ah is not a bad actress at all, it's just that I liked her character a bit less than the above too, because she was immature at times and tended to make stupid decisions (how can you get constantly drunk and fall asleep in the middle of the street, but are still wondering why ppl talk about you, like WTF). The character's development was really nice to watch as well. I am sure there were moments when I wondered whether all the stuff still come together and made sense, but overall it mostly did :D Nevertheless, what I really liked was the romance part, the chemistry was great and the lovey-dovey stuff were so natural, like finally let's not act like married couples do not give kisses to each other or have sex. It was really cute, and the comedy-aspect of the drama was really fun too. It was also really suspenseful at times. I hardly give a great score for dramas, but this one has 9.5 from me.
It is quite refreshing how certain stuff were not made typical drama scenes here, e.g. how normally I suppose…
Hmm, this was enjoyable for some part, because it truly depicted how human mind works - a man is not interested in his wife anymore because she is boring (became like that due to him), but then suddenly has feelings for her when she changes to be herself again and someone else is interested in her. I also liked the gradual change of FL and how her son started respect her more. However, it has also a lot of cliches like the FL and ML cannot be together for some stupid reason, so let's make a couple of them only in the last episode (suddenly that reason goes away). Moreover, there were so many ppl that just could not be honest with their feelings, and the ML was acting like a jerk most of the series (even though he claimed he liked FL the whole time). I also could not see why FL just accepted so many wrongdoings from her husband till the end, like I would not care about his career etc. at all, he used his son only as an excuse all the time. And the last two episodes turned into me watching the childish behavior of FL + ML.
Although I might not have liked the first half of the first episode that much, it has started to grow on me as…
It is quite refreshing how certain stuff were not made typical drama scenes here, e.g. how normally I suppose FL would find about her husband's infidelity later in the drama, but instead in the ep.6 she sees them, and when ML tries to prevent her from seeing the "couple", she pushes him away to take a look at what's happening. Usually this would stop at her eyes being covered and the character would act as if she was not able to see anything :D
Although I might not have liked the first half of the first episode that much, it has started to grow on me as I am watching it further. It is nice to see the character development of FL, the relationship between ML and FL, and also how housewives do not really get much respect from others (from her own son either, which I have found strange, but I guess the father figure was just too influential). And I like the dancing guy with the headphones :D But I do not understand why FL tried to hold on to her husband and did not want to lose him. I mean I get it that she has spend her "best years" with him and loved him, but c'mon, she should have stopped loving him because of how he treated her especially during their last few years together and all...
Yeah, I don't like graphic violent scenes, but in first episodes you could see them slashing people with hammers…
hahaa, you know, different people have different views on what is too much for them and what is not, just to surprise you, I have seen about 97% of the drama with my eyes open. The rest does not have to bother you. I am starting to regret I was agreeing with you and commenting on it, because you are somehow misunderstanding it as the opposite, and I do not want to spend my energy on arguing with you, especially when I have agreed with you in the first place :D Omg...
Gonna have to use an aave acronym for his guy, because he was completely SUS, and I cannot believe she went back…
Not sure why they overly respect their seniors to the point it is ridiculous. You should respect older and more experienced ppl etc., but not just because of their age or rank, the respect should be earned. They just hardly have their own opinions when confronted with sunbaes. I believe she and others would let their faces being kicked because...well, how can you decline a senior's request? Tho the creep seemed more like on the path of becoming a drop-out rather than a real college senior...
Although this drama raised some issues to awareness, it's funny for me how FL claimed she wanted to just have…
Oh, how could I forget the ridiculous amount of product placement here! Towards the end it became like a shopping channel with slimming aids, let's drink this water to become slim and fit, let's take these pills LOL
Yeah, I don't like graphic violent scenes, but in first episodes you could see them slashing people with hammers…
As for the violent stuff, I just close my eyes for that moment :D But I was not trying to say I like the blurring, on the contrary, I thought it was absurd how there were graphic scenes at one point, and then all of the blurring came. It was funny when you should see some cool fighting scenes of guys dropping and catching their knives, but you could just imagine it because of the blur :D
I would give this drama a higher rating if it stayed the same way as up to ep. 8. The idea of treating criminals…
actually this is an often cliche maybe, but why when someone is cornered, they are not really defending themselves, but just saying stupid stuff like "yes, I did it all....is that what you wanted to hear?". I am tired of always hearing it :D

However, in ep. 9 it turned into a bunch of metaphors (I am not sure why Koreans like them in all situations), and I lost my respect for the Mad Dog detective, because of the bribe he took (to pay his daughter piano lessons, what a great reason to take the side of a gang boss!), and then bribed the witness to convict Jung Moon Lee. Although I felt sorry for the girl not being able to fulfill her dreams, I believe this is really not a correct way, and not enough of a reason, since anyway it could later have negative impact on her as well (if she lived, like what if he changed his mind later and the gang would come after him). Moreover, his daughter should have left the next day, a serial murderer was somewhere out there, but he just did not escort his daughter from school to be safe, but just waited for her at home (which means he had the time to do that) and then left. Also the ridiculous twist of Tae Soo admitting he killed the woman's husband and some driver, because he liked her? I thought he was paid to kill him like with other people, but suddenly he kills because of personal stuff? I have found this strange, I expected him to feel guilty because he saw her at the funeral crying like that, and then turned himself in, and he might have later started to like her.... Moreover, I did not get how the 3 bad guys did not like the plastic female detective and the prosecutor, but suddenly they turned their backs on Mad Dog because of their story (which was not even confirmed, said the FL). I think the plot twist could have been done differently. This is what made me give the lower rating in the end, otherwise it would be around 8.5. But I liked how the story came together in the end (and I am happy they did not omit the mention of one girl not being killed by the murderer in the beginning, because I was waiting for that :D ). But the ending looked like there could be season 2, but reading the comments here, it seems it was not that good and with different actors.
I would give this drama a higher rating if it stayed the same way as up to ep. 8. The idea of treating criminals as beasts is great in my opinion, sorry but I would not have a humanistic opinion for this, like let's treat a serial murderer like another human being. I also liked the slight humor in the dialogues. The FL was annoying, also having the face of a carp (I am sorry but I cannot take inspectors looking and talking like that seriously). It's up to everyone to have a plastic surgery, but I do not think when someone ends up looking like this, they could be cast for whatever roles. Also somebody could tell her that she could speak in another way besides whispering (because that is how her way of speaking sounded all the time). However....
Watching this show is like watching japanese porn. Blurred here. Blurred there. Blurred everywhereeeeee.
Yeah, I don't like graphic violent scenes, but in first episodes you could see them slashing people with hammers and stuff, and suddenly they blur the knife while they are just holding it...
