The young cop looks like someone who would verbally or physically cross the bounderies towards others easily because he has an aggressive nature. He behaved like that with the female cop, with the FL, with the ML, with the civilian he grabbed and finally assaulted. He is wearing the badge but he behaves like he doesn't give a damn about his badge.

This guy is piling plenty of red flags about him...

Da Hyun already knew the body is not inside anymore. Gye Hoon only tricked her to acknowledge the murder. Not to say where the body is. So either she spilled all the beans or she brushed it off hoping Gye Hoon never noticed the body. She chose the second option. For her it was the best thing to do at that time. But she hoped wrong.

The female officier is not really suspicious to me. She is not aware of the past events (the disappearance) and she does her job properly. She is less suspicious than some of her colleagues especially her ex. But she surely has an interesting backstory. At the police station, she did not have to deal with Da Hyun before Da Hyun makes her statement. Da Hyuan changed her mind before and left.

I am more into romcom, fantasy and historical nowadays but I don't mind the necessary thriller and crime part. If they keep the drama like ep2 I am ok even if the two last eps are darker and heavier. I just hope it makes sense. I wish we have smart bad guys rather than people who coerce and slap and kill out of anger just to outrage the audience while it is not necessary for the plot.

Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha

They are not so mad at him and he knows how to address their jeremiads. They don't look so bad as people like when they tell him to take care of his "gf".

I suspect he is half human half prophet...

Ep2 was a lot more entertaining. Less dark and less heavy handed than ep1 in term of crazy outrageous actions from evil characters. The lead couple works pretty well. FL lead is silly funny but not so stupid and she seems to have more resources than expected. ML is smartass funny and not as jinxed as his neighbors call him. That was a very enjoyable ep with funny lines.

I hope it won't be as fast paced as in ep1. I wonder how they will balance the funny silly innocent tone of the leads with the scary scheming outrageous dark tone of the bad guys.

The trailer was fine. The surprise is that it is not what the trailer sold. Ep1 was dark with some outrageous moments. Especially the Chairman talking to people like they are trash or slapping people for free or having people manipulated, drugged, killed, drowned, suicided... I don't know if they wanted to impress with this but it was more nerve wacking than impressing.

The slapping scene was the most terrible. The guy doesn't have any authority as parent or boss or professor... He slaps an adult man like he is his slave who made a mistake.

The mystery about the realtionship between ML family and the prophet mom is ok. It will be answered in time. It is just that ep1 raised some questions of logic regarding the behavior of some character. Especially the mom and daughter.

The Chairman was unsufferable for me but I am anticipating his son to be even worse... Dad is an evil in a iron gauntlet. Son is the same evil in a fur gauntlet.

It reminded me of these really old kdrama where the bad guy kills someone and or frame the ML who disappears and miraculously reappears years later with a new identity for revenge against bad guy and his powerful empire. Add to this some prophet women who predict the future and have super power of mind controlling anyone but can't escape or won't escape. FL is immature then turns into a scheming cold woman and then is immature again. ML promising guy who becomes the calamity or is it the laughingstock of the village. Plenty of tropes and jumps of tone from very dark to completely silly via mom dies saving ML. The mix was quite not digestible ...

But OK, it is just a first ep. I'll give it its chance for a few more of them.

First ep not really convincing...

Regarding Wuxia, I have debated it some days ago in here. I understand that people think it looks wuxia. I surely hope it is not and we will be able to confirm it as from next saturday.

I also liked the balance between different genres in FNOS. For me it is more of a fantasy modern drama with an historical part. I hope AOS does not have projection or some kind of time traveling in a 'future and modern time" . But Ok, I won't overthink it in order to be surprised.

But what she sees is the future. It really happens. It means her fears and fantasies select the bits of the future she sees.

Ep 7 was a bit draggy but still has good moments especially the flashbacks on ML's and FL's relationship over the last five years. It was super funny to watch but also a bit sad for the ML. I laud him for going throught all that and still hid his feelings, kept his cool, his professionalism and helped and supported her.

Ep8 : hello drama tropes! childhood friends, orphanage, clingy ex bf, confused FL, jealousy from misunderstanding, annoying SFL in full bitch mode, stalker sneaking around FL... I was like wtf? ... I also hope next eps will be more enjoyable.

So the lesson to learn from episode 8 is that all what she sees is only a partial view and a view from her own perspective. So a disk seen from above is a sphere in reality and a stair going into the cave could be just be a drawing on the wall. Good. Now she can doubt anything she sees in her visions ...

Cha Min Hoo missed his calling. He should have become an investigator/profiler for the South Korean NSI...

She must have lost 40 IQ points since ep7. So dumb and almost dislikeable in ep8. But I myself felt stupid watching this ep8.

Historical fantasy drama is a genre South Korea should develop as there is not a lot of them. This one seems to be different. It has more fantasy and some kind of fusion style, a mix of traditional and modern influences. Especially the hairstyles... :)

Can't wait for next satruday see how it really looks like.

She has serious creepy vibes and she is absolutely manipulative. But I also think she is not that bad.
