I am not convinced that the script necessarily called for cartoonish-like approach. There are plenty of similar stories with serial killers and puzzles (in “the silence of lamb” the guy was leaving butterflies on the crime scene, for example) which are directed in realistic style. I’d rather believe that the director wanted to do something original, extravagant - with costumes, hairstyle, music, etc., including making a main lead Yi Na talk like a child. I wish he just tried to make it solid, to make it good. But again, maybe Korean public wants extravagancy.

For sure, if you make a police officer drive a Lamborghini car it doesn’t look realistic )). I am a fan of Nordic Noir and the series like Glass Dome and Dept Q which are so well done and trying to be as realistic as possible. So I don’t get why he was so afraid of having a realistic drama and ending with a“predictable detective story”. Maybe that was driven by the demand of Korean viewers rather than any global trend.

Yes, it’s a lazy-made story line in script. They just didn’t bother to explain it. For this to happen she had to forget not only the name of the restaurant but her own name, where she lived, her mom’s name etc etc.

These are not just athletes, they are shown as medalists of major championships and Olympic Games. Normally they should be the pride of their country. Forever and ever. Youngsters look up to them, these people are role models. If you show their post-athletic life like that, how would you motivate young people to do sports? Incomprehensible.

Can’t believe Korean athletes, olympian medalists and such are not more appreciated in their country. How it can be that any medalists, especially gold ones can have hardship finding a job or living in poverty etc? Or anyone can disrespect them or kick them like that police commissioner did. I hope it is all a huge exaggeration and not realistic at all.

Which country it is on netflix?

Oh, he went to do his military service really young..

I know what her character is supposed to be, there are ways to portray it. I dislike what she is doing with it.

I dislike her acting so much, it’s pain to watch but I like the story and the cast.

Don’t be ridiculous )

Not true. The drama like “when life gives you tangerines» has huge ratings and this is nothing crazy, it’s just a story about people’s life. The genre is not the problem, the quality is the problem. Quality scripts become more rare than before.

Cast is amazing, the Director is top notch and is a woman on top of that. But not sure about the story…And for any person who knows anything about boxing or watched boxing during any of Olympic Games it is obvious that PBG is too polished to play a boxer..

If you stick with it, let me know later if your opinion changed 😉

I watched the first episode and I find it really bad. The story is just not there. How they are going to keep it up for another 15 epi?

English is not your strongest point, is it? )

Kim Min Ha is an incredible actress, Gong Myung is a total lightweight compared to her. It is so evident when you watch them together.

Who knows why IU took such a long hiatus and didn’t make any drama between 2019 and 2025? This is her first drama after Hotel del Luna and it feels like HdL was ages ago.

Are you sure it is based on a true story? Do you have any link where anybody mentioned it? My friends who watched the drama were very dubious about the fact that it maybe based on a true story.

But who is playing a conglomerate? Jung Ji Young is playing a strawberry farmer so who is the conglomerate?

They tried ))). They tried to show us not only the implied story that a human is actually a fantasy animal - they went so far as to show us the real animal instead of a human - in “A good day to be a dog” 🐶 😂. Poor puppy wasn’t even trained and was an awful actor ). No, all these animal-human transformations, real or not real - are not working for me.
