Thank you for clearing up the Agape thing for me! I must not have been paying attention to him signing off as Agape, although I remember her fixing the machine and watching the footage.
And I double agree with you on Gieun. The fact that she didn't have a team of cops there with her when she made the plans to meet in the demo zone was so silly to me. The one officer she sent the steaks to in case she didn't come back should have been there with her! He clearly didn't have a busy schedule lol.
My thoughts pretty much echo most people's: started strong, stumbled hard in the middle, fumbled the ending.Such…
A few things though: 1) I didn't understand Gieun's obsession with finding "Wheel Me". Hear me out: He didn't beat her, sexually assault her, or rob her. He abandoned her in the woods and trashed her chair. So what, exactly, was her reasoning for hiring a hacker and then agreeing to meet him in the demolition zone? Was it for money for her chair? An apology? Imagine he wasn't the big bad and a serial killer, and her actions seem stupid. What was her plan??
2) YunO was one of the most wishy-washy serial killers I've ever seen! [For example: why kill Naeun, but leave the professor alive?] Why wouldn't he kill the two people ACTIVELY investigating him and trying to take him down?! There was no reason not to kill Gieun and Mokwon! Samantha too.
3) Speaking of Samantha: in the scene where she confronts YunO and threatens him to stay away from Sum, he says she already knows about "Agape". I figured this was a lie, but to be honest, Sum was kind of dumb af and despite that event being traumatizing for her, YunO's hold on her was super strong. I guess my question is: did I miss a scene with her figuring it out/being told or was he lying?
4) Mokwon was the only character with any common sense, but the shaman angle was random and since there was no other supernatural element, felt out of place.
5) They never explained Gieun's accident (I assumed Sum was involved somehow, which would explain why they stopped being friends) and YunO's scar.

Such a shame because the cinematography in the first few episodes was top-notch, with Kim Young Kwang's already unnerving performance enhanced by some choice lighting and angles.
Everyone talking about the romance: I'm just happy to see Kim Young Kwang and Sung Joon in a drama together again! "White Christmas" is one of my ALL-TIME faves!
Moody's Cell: The first two sentences and the final apply to me so much! I don't go on feeds and rant or whatever though. I'm a veteran watcher...I leave that behavior for the newbies.
Loved it until the ending! WHERE WAS THE ENDING?! I'm super curious why they decided to end it there, with no payoff. Min Ho is gorgeous so I can't be that mad...
I went in thinking it was going to be a sweet, slice of life about an elderly man achieving a dream, but in the end it broke me! I'd call this "bittersweet", but in the best way possible. I definitely recommend.
I may be in the minority, but...I don't really like Na Bi that much (so far). I keep seeing comments about Jae Eon being toxic and stuff (and he is, or more so, the writers keep trying to push that he is), but Nabi isn't really any better! She's clingy and possessive, and honestly, kind of immature. A lot of her personality could be excused b/c of her break-up, but idk: does the show want us to root for them or root for their downfall?
I was legitimately surprised by the 3rd act reveal! Ha Jung Woo, Ju Ji Hoon, Lee Jung Jae, & D.O. were stellar throughout!
It seems this film has people split down the middle: some love it more, some less than the first. I think this film felt more balanced, but the first one was more emotional (I cried during Su Hong's dream visit to his mother. Like WEPT, really hard!). But I actually loved the flashbacks of the guardian's lives and the side story with Sungju and Hyundong, and the overall mix of comedy and drama. IDK. I love both pretty equally. ALTHOUGH, this film had more of Lee Jung Jae, SO....I like it more for that reason alone ^^
