I loved the 90s–2000s anime vibe in the first arc 😠Sad that the Japanese guy was a bad guy... Would've loved to see an actual brotherhood between the 2 characters (minus all the evil things) I also liked how they worked outside of Korea, just like in s2 Ep 1&2. Would definitely like more international crime stopping in the future episodes... especially because I'm wondering how exactly they'll portray a new big bad villain/organization within Korea after s2, which had an organization that had a hand all over Seoul.
Who is "mc"???The only so-called "villain" is Ha Tae Su and he's an incompetent/cartoonish villain…
!!**This comment contains a SPOILER from another K-drama, "Mouse" to be exact. Don't read ahead if you didn't watch it.**!!
I meant main character/lead, Yun Ju No (Lee Je Hoon)
The synopsis says this "His solution is far from straightforward." So I was wondering if the lead was like Vincenzo (anti hero lead) or Mouse (villain lead)
i still would like a season 2 to see more of the leads as a couple since that ending was disappointing but i think…
The story of the plane crash was not really solved imo. Samael was the one behind everything... He just used Jessica and the President (thru Prime Minister Hong) to achieve his goal original goal—taking over South Korea, which he has almost achieved now.
Besides, we only learned who Samael is on ep 15.
The people who received "judgement" (President, Secretary Yun, NIS Director Ahn, Jessica, Copilot & his wife) were only Samael's pawns, just like Cha Dal Geon. Samael, from the shadows, used both the "villains" and MC (+ the bereaved) to take over the country.
Everyone who got caught/taken down were eventually let out, killed, or joined Samael (as we saw from ep 14). That's not really justice. The b357 victims didn't get any justice because the main perpetrator is still free, and everyone else who we believed were the direct perpetrators turned out to have been manipulated or used (ofc, doesn't mean they're not accomplices). For example, we thought Jessica was the one who planned the plane crash since we only saw her trying to cover it up in the early episodes. But later, (ep 12/13) it was confirmed that Michael (John & Mark asia VP) was the one who orchestrated it... And even later, we learned that it was actually Samael. Jessica thought it Michael HAD to cover it up or she'd be destroyed along with her company—hence, used by Samael.
Now, almost everyone who should've received proper judgement are all fine: PM Hong, Secretary Yun, Jessica, Jess's secretary Hong, NIS guy (Min something) Samael, Micky. The only justice we saw was Jerome's death in ep 16 & the president being forced to step down. But it doesn't really matter as much because we saw that the PM was basically controlling everything for the (puppet) President.
And if anyone claims it's an open ending, we only learned about Samael on the last 2 episodes and so much story is still missing. That's not an open ending; that's just an abrupt cliffhanger of an ending. The producers prolly planned for a season 2 judging by how the story ended without any conclusion.
It's sad there's no news for s2. I hope we'll get some news soon. This is such a good kdrama with so much potential.
As a Muslim, I honestly think we shouldn't get too worked up over this show... The show clearly takes a creative…
1. It's wrong to take a creative/fictional approach on such a sensitive matter. 2. It is redefining our belief. 3. Too bold—shouldn't let it slide. Who knows what else they'll make a "creative" approach on later?
There are so many other ways to express creativity—this is not it. I mean, it's literally Iblis, the greatest enemy of humans, and they're romanticizing him.
Of course, there are many other issues in the world, but that doesn't mean we should ignore something that misrepresents our religion on such a large scale.
I was really hoping it wouldn't end as a "was it all just a dream?" kinda situation where Youngji wakes up in the plane in the ending—thankfully, my hope became reality!(I even hoped it'd be a hospital scene :D!) The fact that Yi Heon made it to the present is also something I've never seen happen in such kdramas.
I also really liked how the other cooks from the royal kitchen (and chief secretary) appeared in the present as reincarnations. But it does lead me to wonder how Gilgeum and the others felt after seeing that both Yi Heon and Youngji had vanished 😢
Definitely a 10/10. Nice to see every villain getting what they deserved.
