Marie is stressful to watch! Whew! What a life. I have 29 minutes left in the movie and came here for reassurance to continue. I don't like tragic endings, so I'm bracing myself and hoping this ends happily. I truly feel for asylum seekers. They're simply trying to have a chance at life, to be safe and have provision. It's not asking too much. Maybe I missed it, but I wonder why Kiwan didn't go to South Korea. He would've had automatic citizenship and resources.

I totally get what you're saying, and it's fair. In my opinion, the score is too low for the quality storytelling, acting, and creativity, especially dramatizing the history of real-life wrestlers. I genuinely believe it deserves at least an 8.2.

The mother was very disappointing, but at the same time, I'm not surprised considering that time period and cultural norms around marriage. I was bummed how the father got sanitized simply because he was older, weaker, and suffering from alcohol-induced cirrhosis. He never once apologized or redeemed himself. What happened to his "outside" baby? Crying at the bar because Dump used gore for her gimmick doesn't count as remorse or being an upstanding father. I honestly believe he saw his own horrors playing back and hated the shame/pressure of being a violent heel's father. I was glad to see Dump stand up for herself against her family and the promotion team and set her own path, even though her gimmick was certainly extreme.

One of the characters come from an abusive home. An incident inspires her violent wrestling gimmick and she ushers in a gorey era of wrestling using real weapons and causing bloodshed. This causes tension with her fellow wrestlers because they're getting injured and she takes her new persona outside of the ring and into her real life. The wrestling promotion team is a bit of a boys club and can be exploitive of their female wrestlers.

Hope that answers your questions without spoiling too much!

The low score has to be about the history of one of the actors because this drama is excellent, although it gets pretty dark. The character development is quite something.

These 80s Japan haircuts and outfits are everything! Cue the city pop.

Bravo! I love it. It was a strong enough cast and plot to be a drama series. I honestly feel inspired to chase my own passion and make a difference. This movie has everything the Koreaverse knew I wanted:
• No romance to distract from the plot
• Brotherhood
• A healthy father-son relationship
• Martial arts as the focal point and epic fights
• Finding your purpose
• Violent, creepy criminals getting taken down
• Protecting the community

There were some heavy moments, and it really makes you think about the broken world we live in. These cases happen in reality everyday, and it's harrowing.

They never called for backup. The police really should've been dispatched to address the situation with that ring of sex offenders. That was too much for two martial arts officers and a probation officer to handle alone.

Honestly, these days, this fits the description of many guys who are 30+.😅 However, Again My Life had a 35 and 40 year old convincingly play college students, so anything is possible at this point.

I've been waiting for more martial arts-centered plots, so count me in! As I make my own grand return to Taekwondo, this will be a motivator. It's been a while since I've seen a Woo Binnie project. I'm excited!

I remember seeing clips on IG of this ML, who looks like Lee Min Ki, during the pushups scene when the drama first aired and people going crazy lol. I always meant to watch the drama, but other dramas took precedence and I forgot about it. I'm finally watching three years later! It was a pleasant surprise to see Wu Hao Zen is in this. I LOVED him in Lightning. I'm liking this drama so far. FL is a bit boring and one note, but at least not a pushover. I really like ML, but I'm feeling more invested in the secondary couple. Also, a young, handsome single father isn't a common theme, so that angle also adds more pop to their loveline. His daughter is a cute monster and Yufei is immature yet endearing. I'm curious to see how they come together, especially with Jiang Ho being such a faithful girl dad who doesn't show interest in dating. I also look forward to learning more about his personal story.

I feel like this webtoon is too rich to be condensed into film format, but I'm hopeful! My hope is that Japan adapts from the source material and not the Korean drama, so they can add their own flavor and interpretation to it. Alice in Borderland is a great example of a well-done adaptation of a written work. That series was, in my opinion, far superior to Squid Game, a drama of similar nature, despite the mainstream appeal of the latter.

This drama was fantastic AND deserved a more crisp ending. The random coupling of Hee Woo and Hee Ah added nothing to the conclusion. It felt random. I wish the focus was on the successful mission completion and the foreshadowing of the next mission. I don't understand this obsession with pairing up the ML when he showed literally ZERO interest in any kind of romantic or intimate relations. Then the shoehorning him into a relationship with Hee Ah in the last five minutes of the final episode was an absolute farce . The couple had the chemistry of white paint. If he wound up with anyone, it should've been Han Mi. They actually had a history together and the emotional investment. Their chemistry was fire as well! Out of the three female friends, his relationship with her was the only one where there was regular vulnerability and intimate conversations. Hee Ah was too convenient because she was a chaebol.

I also wish Cho Tae Seob got sentenced for his crimes rather escaping through a dubious suicide. We also never see the grim reaper who sent Hee Woo back to the past return to give any context as to why she sent him back, what it accomplished in the end, or how she was a grim reaper and a living being in the past and present world as Manager Han. That was a plot hole. They also should've given way more character development to Manger Han and her Terminator assassin brother, Doctor K. Did Tae Seob raise them as his own after saving them from the orphanage his crazy assistant set on fire? What was their life like growing up? How did Manager Han keep her sanity and free agency when her amnesiac older brother was trained to assassinate Tae Seob's enemies? Is his blind allegiance how he shows his gratitude? I had many questions about them.

All in all, I loved this drama and I'm so glad there was no romance forced into it until the very end for 3 minutes. This was a crime drama through and through.

I agree. He had the most chemistry and time invested with Han Mi. Hee Ah felt like an afterthought to wrap up the story neatly. Hee Woo clearly had zero interest in romance or dating. He found purpose in his work and cultivating his friendships, which was actually refreshing.

1) Yes, happy for the Hui Woo and his friends and family. As we know, corruption is like Hydra. When you cut off one head, another grows back. A new boss emerges at the very end but their end goal is to protect their conglomerate, not control everything like the previous boss. However, Hui Woo already has eyes on them and welcomes the challenge.

2) Excellent storytelling. Lots of twists and turns! Also, there aren't as many plot holes like you typically see in complex storylines like this one. I will say they should've fleshed out Manager Han and the assassin way more. Their backstory was left with too much meat on the bone. You can't drop a bombshell like theirs and leave it at surface level. Both characters still feel like strangers despite their pasts being critical to the antagonist. Also I feel like the writers forgot about the grim reaper.

3) Chemistry is off the charts! Hui Woo had such beautiful relationships with his parents, friends, and close colleagues. You'll appreciate the camaraderie and the lively dinners he has with his people. He makes everyone part of his family. The romance is literally in the last 5 minutes of the final episode. It honestly felt like an afterthought. His relationships with the women were VERY platonic to the point where his junior couldn't believe he wasn't dating any of the three cute girls he's friends with and whom obviously adore him. He was always focused on the mission and his friendships intersected with that mission. Every friend has a strategic purpose in taking down the enemy.

4) No intimate kiss scenes or hugs. Just a hand squeeze at the very end.

Ji Young acts like Sang Hyeon is the only person to ever exist. I understand it's harrowing to lose a child, but to suck the joy out of your living family is selfish. You have a whole daughter, ma'am. I'm ready for Kang Heon to divorce and Eun go with him. Sang Hyeok's love for his father and sister is the only reason he hasn't taken Ji Young out, and she knows it.

It's hard to empathize with him in any way.

How on Lee Joong Ki's internet is this drama rated 7.7? It's at least an 8.2 minimum. PSA: There's no romance here. It's a raw and gritty crime drama with no heroes. Sang Hyeok "Oppa" loves guns, violence, fast women, and the rich thug life. He's not a cold-hearted, secretly sweet chaebol who falls in love with a cute but feisty girl who works hard on three part-time jobs to support her dad who's deep in debt and on the run from loan sharks and little sister who dreams of attending a SKY university.

Paramount? There are WAY too many streaming services getting into the kdrama game. Take me back to the days when Viki got all the kdrama licenses.😭 I've been waiting for Lee Soo Hyuk to do a period drama since he graced us as the ruthless Gui in the Scholar Who Walks at Night. Oh well.

Which is exactly why Ho Young was better off turning himself in and using the recent loss of his mother, the asthma attack, and clean background to get an even lesser charge. I believe his father could've ensured his safety in lockup.

Tee Rab should've just sat and ate his food! Being an illegal alien and getting greedy with the mob's mark, he got himself wacked.😮‍💨 The impulses of youth. Judge is showing the disturbing lengths he'll take to protect his son from being accountable of his crime. He didn't hesitate to shoot that boy to protect his tender prince, Ho Young. A mess.

Sang Hyeok stays on the move like Dora the Explorer- sticking his nose in his dad's business and messing everything up. Sounds like losing his mother young may he a trauma for him that influences the man he is today. He looked CUTE in that gorgeous patent leather jacket at the airport, looking bad and bougie! Sang Hyeok turns every crime scene into a catwalk. He wanted to flex on the high seas in a yacht on his great escape, but that dusty sailor said, there's no caviar or champagne on this tug boat! Sang Hyuk is a terrible person but fascinating none the less. I can see why Stepmama can't stand him. He literally made that dude pin that explosion on her, and now that man is dead too!

Kang Heon is multilayered. I appreciate how he's not your stereotypical mob boss. The actor is portraying him beautifully. Kang Heon is patient and calculating, carefully unraveling this case, keeping his emotions in check. That scene when he asked Eun for a hug was sweet. I enjoy the juxtaposition they show of his personal life and "business" life. Although Sang Hyeok is tragic, Kang Heon doesn't want to lose another son, even though this one deserves the consequences.

Ho Young is playing with fire. What does he think the final result will be? Love conquers all? He'll never know peace. It's a lose-lose situation. Either he stays with Eun, living with the dark secret of being her brother's killer and living on pins and needles all his days or he breaks her heart when she finds out and her dad kills him. There are no winners here.

The deeper Judge goes down the rabbit hole, the more we see that they were better off reporting the hit and run the day it happened and ensuring his son's safety in police custody and prison. Ho Young would do a two-year bid max and then could move abroad to start over. This drama is literally a showdown of two old dads who have no limits when it comes to their sons. Who will win?

I can see why Kang Heon wanted Sang Hyeok out of his business and country.😅 Good lord. It's like trying to bake and your cute toddler keeps throwing random ingredients into the cake batter that don't mix! Well meaning but messing up everything. Go play somewhere!
