NotMuch

I was honestly hesitant initially because the team of scriptwriters was new, but I suppose working on it for a long period of time with good input from the director paid off. Apparently JNR got the offer / read the script before she began shooting her previous drama, meaning this was in the works from before 2020

That sounds like what I'll do lmao. She kind of got snubbed in 2019 for VIP, I feel, and KBS didn't reward her deservingly in 2017 for Go Back Couple. So... hopefully they won't repeat that mistake XD

Episode 12 is the best episode so far. Jang Nara deserves her daesang this year. If she does NOT get it, goodness knows what I will do.

I just want to point out how even though episode 11 was intense, there were still moments that made me chuckle and go "aaaw," like the taser scene ft. In Bum and Ji Cheol's collective fascination at how it works (honestly the entire chase after Do Hak's goon), In Beom practically walking with a skip in his step when Ji-Ah said she has a "special psychic" beside her, and Ji Cheol almost hugging Ji-Ah when she and In Bu gained conscious

What. Was. This. Ending. In. Episode. 11.

So far till episode 7, the drama is so good! It is really a relaxing watch, with authentic characters and really natural chemistry between the leads. I love how they are both their own persons with genuine struggles yet rely on one another too. And the OSTs! I admit the opening and closing OST have me hooked - the opening OST was what drew me in, tbh. When it played, I knew I would stick around.

ALL THESE COMMENTS ABOUT EPISODE 11 - I need to clear my schedule and watch it

I'm hooked

Episode 11, I need to watch you ASAP!

South Koreans love their large age gaps and voyeurism. Haven't watched the movie yet, but quite curious how a young woman was needed to awaken an old man's desire for youth. It is often this way, and in none of the international reviews have I seen a balanced take on the plot. It is either "beautiful" or "disgusting", yet neither opinion gives an insight as to how it looks at women - as mere subject of a taboo fantasy with some feelings or something else. Let's see if I ever get around to watching it.

Apparently he's the antagonist here

She is doing okay! She guested in Sell Your Haunted House just last week; also there were a lot of scenes featuring her in the making video, she was enjoying her time :)

I really like Shin Hyun Soo but I am not sure if I should watch this

I can see why you'd feel this way, though I'd argue HJA is different from the characters in IOTNBO and Hotel Del Luna. Have you seen Nara in VIP? That was her previous very serious role, and she did amazingly, RBF and all. However, in SK, the low ratings are most likely not because of her portrayal because she is being discussed a lot on forums (her ranking was top 3 in April) and gp's comments have been favourable.

I agree! She has really done justice to Hong Ji-Ah.

Jang Nara has played forthcoming characters too the previous decade, particularly in the second half! But I will admit I was slightly worried about the characterization, if it would be too in your face about being "strong", but the balance has been amazing.

The best part about the drama were Duan Ran and Xi Xi. The actors had such natural chemistry, I loved that.

Have to say, Yonghwa is really good at throwing affectionate, "in love and in total awe" looks.

And I thought I was making up stuff when I saw In Beom's internal conflict!!! He was switching between the spirit and himself and it was obvious how much restraint that took

I am willing to make up another exorcism rule: the chastity clause is not needed if the special psychic is in a "special" relationship with the exorcist.
