Ahh, I never saw the Witch movies, so I didn't have that association. Your explanation makes a lot of sense, thanks!

(Though now I think they should have better depicted the second personality and her supressing it, not only like the '3 random talking to herself' scenes she had.

Tbh I did not understand the last scene, the flashback to 15 years ago. Why did her eyes turn black?

Overall, I have to agree with the general opinions here:

- great action
- good acting
- the lighting was often bad and scenes too dark
- rather flat story

7/10

President has a mysterious accident where he was lucky he survived, first thing after waking from a coma and is able to talk: calling out for his brother (now president)

His wife: "Ah, yes. Nothing suspicious here. Only brotherly love, not the well known trope of attempting to communicate a murder attempt"

Maybe she should have watched more crime shows. It would have kept her husband alive

As far as I understood it someone outside the company who didn't get the job, but knew someone from university with worse qualifications but with connections, who did get a job. (The anonymous post mentioned knowing them from studying, and their father having ties to an executive)


The first post was not posted on the intranet site, but on a public forum.

I think in the opening of the first episode, with the scenes
in the hospital, the clock showed everything happened (and the Patient died) at 11.

So I guess Great died at 11 in an original timeline, and has now the chance to change everything. But the 11 showing up everywhere is an unconcious reminder of what happened.

Ehh, I think they generally did as best as they could. Every car was stopped and looked at, there were controls at the house, they emptied the Supermarket. I feel they did as much as they could during active protests and reporter groups.

And don't forget, though he was threatened nothing happened until then. It was the real first attempt. I don't think anyone would think an old lady would do it, especially with arrows. I don't think that's normally on the Bingo cards for threat Assessment.

But there was the massive mistake of letting her inside the shop. That was the only real mistake I saw.


Regarding the safe House: It seems there needs to be some official bureaucracy regarding his release and ankle bracelet. Maybe that needs to be done at home? Or at the official adress as ordered by court?

Because even though he is under threat, that would still be wrongful detainment/imprisonment!

That's why he stood at the doorway and shouted for the reporters. Because he wanted to force the police to either bend to his will or have a big police scandal on the news immediately.

Episode 1 was great.

I was not prepared for the anonymous Roulette Game where a target, a sadistic action and the amount of reward money is chosen for the masses online. What a fantastic Setup.

That begs the question: Is the Roulette really random or is the target chosen? My money is on chosen after the 1st episode. And who is the Triskele Mask Guy and how does he have that much money?

Another hour of Jin Goo's glorious hair! <3

That's a bit complicated, because overall it has a more open ending.

It's left open ended if Moonjo is alive or dead, when or if Jungwoo really killed Moonjo and the others, and what Jungwoo hallucinated. And overall there is the possibility that everything is the story Jungwoo wrote. The entire drama is using the unreliable narrator as it's best, and every viewer has to decide by themselves what narration/actions were the most reliable.

In my opinion:
- Jungwoo killed Moonjo
- Jungwoo killed the others and made it seem as if Moonjo did it (the evidence the police found that led them to believe that Moonjo did it)

Wrong show. It's about a priest with anger issues.

Very average at best.

The acting was the best part, the characters the worst because they were entirely one-dimensional and bland. The villains really unthreatening without a lot of impact (except for the pig scene)

The fighting choreography was okay, but the directing and editing of them actually lowered their quality a bit.

Lee Joon Hyuk as the crazy copycat fan was very fun and my favourite character (although also one-dimensional and almost a deus-ex-machina)

Rating: 6/10

'God of War' and 'Queen Seon Deok'

Knuckle dusters or not, the sound effects are horrible and don't fit the grounded and more realistic setting. Those overdone punching sounds fit more to action-comedies like The Naked Gun, Scott Pilgrim or Deadpool.

Having them in a supposed serious drama immediatelly warps the tone in a very bad way

The punching sounds are really overdone and bad. They are so obviously fake that it takes away from the actual vigilante scenes

I think we'll have to agree to disagree.

I'm all for accountability, and the need to overhaul executive and judical systems but I really disagree about the Killing Vote being a wake up call or a spotlight for accountability.

Because the vote is inherently revenge driven and based on personal grievances and displays rather a lack of accountability for everyone. No matter If it's Gaetal, the voters or even the criminal victims. Because murdering the criminals makes them 1)victims themselves and 2) removes any chance of holding them accountable.

And don't forget, it's not the politicians and chaebols and actual powerful people responsible for the failing systems that are watched and possible vote victims.

The actual ones watched/killed are criminal common people. The show had 3 utterly horrible people with basically No motive except narcissm/sociopathy but those are in actuality only a very minor percentage. Most are made by unfair systems and circumstances (systematic racism leading to a lack of Future leading to crimes/failing social systems and abused/....)

The Killing Vote is an absolutely horrible idea and system, that's from conception just rife with problems. That's why there was the school bullying scene inspired by the vote. To act as a mirror. Because the only ones who really profit from something like that are the already powerful and/or people who already enjoy to crush people.

Regarding Minsoo: I actually like the idea. Because it adds another level of tragedy to KSJ. And this time because of his own doing. If he unintentionally worked with the actual murderer it's just so tragic and shows how blinded he is in his thirst for revenge.

That's just a standard main character thing. And happens in shows in every country.

The senior recognizing the teacher is getting explored in the episodes now. And don't forget, that it's a mystery show where things are often explained later. And it's very possible that Gaetal has ties to the police or that the Main detective has his own goals.

It doesn't matter that Moo Chan left the hospital. That didn't blow his cover. Students had filmed the car explosion and the video showed the FL helping him away from the car. And the teacher bought the video off the students. And the teacher is involved in the dark web browser (Loki). That's what blew his cover.


And regarding the teacher: In the Gaetal case there was no hint for the official police Investigation that he was involved in the early days. Teaching at the school the police chose to drive to is not evidence. And regarding NaRae: that's getting shown now.

Just compare the 3rd vote (doctor) with the first one. The body shape is a lot different (slighter, smaller shoulders...) and even the disguised voice sounds a lot different and a lot more feminine.
