Did anyone notice the shift in Hwang's right hand man's expression after they talked about "risking lives"? I think there's something deeper going on when it comes to that dude. Do I sense someone changing sides soon? Hmmm... That would be helpful for the good side.
The last 10 minutes of episode 20 was soooo funny. I wonder how many takes they did. Also, I can't believe that…
Wait, in the same universe? Oh yeah! The woman who went to the cult leader! I found myself thinking, "This woman suspected her husband in Terius Behind Me too." Now I get it! I'm glad I have watched it!
My god.. Hae il in his "spy" suit is so freaking hot!!! And i really love the bromance between him and detective…
Exactly! First of all, it's obvious that Priest Michael is devoted to his position, despite his outbursts, so it would be weird for him to be in a relationship with the prosecutor. One-sided attraction is understandable - he is definitely very attractive, lol.
And the end of episode 18 elicited all sorts of emotions from me: anger, disbelief, and sadness for Kim Hae Il. Cheol Bum is too ruthless, and it would be interesting to see him switch sides, but I honestly doubt that.
On a postive note, I am so, so proud to see the detective being courageous! That too in the face of painful death. Like Priest Han said, he is good but a little weak. I hope his late partner's child and wife remains safe, but I'm sure they'll use them in upcoming episodes.
And am I the only one absolutely in love with Seung Ah? The hip-hop girl knows how to kick ass and be upright. I love her resolve and passion. Female characters like her are a gem.
40/20 eps is too much. At 18/9 I'm kinda getting tired of it because the story is slowing down a lot and there's…
40 episodes are just 20 episodes, really, but I understand the frustration - I almost cried in anger along with the junior detective, lol. I wouldn't say it has no progress, however. We saw character development, and growing friction between the villains, which will work in the priest's favour later on.
With how corrupted officers work IRL, they are being true to the nonfictional nature. But it will be interesting to see someone's conscience stir awake!
I also wanted to add that seeing a smart female lead is always a welcome change from a genius male lead. However, I'm not completely taken over by Jin Se Yeon's acting - she can seem unnatural at some points. I think Kim Kang Woo is the best here so far. Love his scenes, although the disgust they leave in their wake make me want to curse at him.
It's mad how generic dramas reach 8.5 ratings while dramas like these get stuck at 7.9. I will be the first to admit the drama is not excellent, and that a few aspects are frustrating, like the male lead's unusual silence in serious situations. But I think stepping into his shoes make you understand why he's so desperate, and how that can he easily used by the antagonist. I think episode 10 has increased the pace and makes one hope for an upper hand from the "good" side. But then, the villain is too good.
This is stupid. The first episode, I mean. I'm half way through it, and it looks like they're children, not adults. For one, nobody has the right to attack their spouse even in a fit of anger - that's just toxic. Secondly, it's so wrong to indirectly confess to someone who you know is married. Is that a form of compliment in Korea or something? I'm already wary of this. Touching upon character flaws isn't a bad thing - I like that in a drama, but to make them so darned childish and thoughtless is another thing.
The case of the little girl has awakened the Detective's sense of justice enough for it to overpower his fear. I loved that he enjoyed the Priest breaking the frame that honoured the catering company. Kim Hae's description of hell as being reliving one's life infinite times has triggered the detective's fear and concentrated it on another matter. He may have to choose being humane over surviving now, lol. I want to see his character development the most, along with the Prosecutor's - I wonder how she will change sides.
It seems people are not liking the slow pace, but I am enjoying it - the plot is being true to both its characters and story-line. And I still find it exciting despite the slow build-up. The characters are very real and their pronounced traits are hilarious; moreover, they need time to team up -- you can't expect someone's greed or fear to evaporate for the sake of the plot. It also helps knowing what's really going on in Gudam.
Who is excited for the last episode? I can't wait, and can wait simultaneously since I do not want it to end. It has been great watching this for the past two weeks. I hope the last episode does every one and every thing justice!
The revelation of character's motivations, backgrounds, and overall depth is very naturally paced so far. The prosecutor's slight struggle with her morality was a welcome feature, and the detective's painful memories explain a lot about his inaction, added with slight responsibility for his dead friend's family too.
The humor is not lost, of course. The nun's outbursts are one of a kind - who knew she had it in her, that woman. The crazy that Priest Michael has inside him is sad and funny. Then the scenes between the Sung Kyu and Kim Hae are endearing. The path the former has chosen suits his character - to follow the footsteps of Father Lee. I think this will be one of my favourites of 2019, and in general. since kdramas usually stay away from social commentary.
Watching the first episode. It has lots of information from the get go, and given that I am not good with names, it is a little difficult for me to wrap my head around the progress. I think I will take it slow.
Cannot believe we are halfway through already. :,(
