Though I have to criticize the changes made to the character Mr. Queen so as to ensure any romantic relations the character was involved was acceptable for the hetero-normative societal expectation
The show is better in the first half because the character is allowed to Mr. Queen but after the romance begins the "Mr." kinda gets lost and for me, that was a big compromise for the character.|
My favorite thing about this show is how it validated mental illness like it was just part of their life like any other chronic illness
Damn, I haven't watched a show that showed the brutal extent that is healing from Mental Illness (save for shows that the characters are actually admitted to the hospital ) e.g the side effects of the drugs, the continuous appointments, family and work dynamics ........ just showing how much work it is to recover from chronic illness

Damn!!!! This show was super funny and they even featured a black character
Till you realize, the black character was used for a RACIST joke, like come on and it took several complaints by international fans for it to be edited out.
I am hella disappointed, what message is that sending to dark skinned/ black people ???////??????
Female lead with a male soul Indicates homosexuality so why not change it to a female soul because this leads to a compromised character especially as it grew more romantic and it felt like they just used the male soul to initiate the story and make it more fun. A decision that is greatly reflected in the ending
Anyway The comedy and the second male lead are on point
But hella disappointed with how the male soul feels used by the screenwriter
Why can't LGTQ love stories just be beautifully romantic like heterosexual ones?
Why must love confessions be done in such ugly exploitative ways, I am so disgusted by Ep. 6 and sick and tired of such tropes especially in the BL world.
P.S Consent matters even in relationship and marriage
I wish we could focus more on supporting those who have come out with their story so as to ensure the truth comes to light, instead of defending a stranger, just because he is a handsome celebrity.
And if you have never experienced what the victims have, educate yourself and employ compassion, or just stay quiet and enjoy your privilege.
Great show, worth the watch and the ending was.... interesting
So Moon-jo is alive heres why: I did not believe Moon-jo died for a second but this show has a way of making you second guess stuff.
The Second Confrontation: "let's finish writing the ending if your novel"
I started having doubts during their second confrontation, it was so out of character in the sense that a couple of moments ago Moon-jo was able to easily take down Jong-Wo (like he threw him through a door) but now he could even land a detrimental blow and then he just dies. Like come on, it too far fetched for me, I was actually disappointed
Moon-jo was in charge of breaking Jong-wo
Moon-jo constantly brainwashed Jong-wo, and the only way he went from "save my girlfriend" in the beginning to "I'm going to kill you all and enjoy it" is because Moon-jo triggered him or something. So my question was how could he not be able to calm him down after his killing spree? Like Moon-jo seemed really meticulous, how could he let his creation kill him?
The Episode Title: Gas-lighting
Who exactly is the target? The is no point in the story where there is a character being forced to doubt what they have known as we had seen in the previous episodes. It's only the audience who get to experience doubt when the narrative tells us one account and then change it to the point where I was not sure if Moon-jo died or not.
Things that I noticed after reading peoples observation
Jung-wo Lost it I also do not think that Jong-wo in the last episode is reliable especially after he got dragged to the 4th floor, so I can only trust the police and girlfriend's account.
The Bracelet Scanning through the bracelet scenes you notice the following:
They are sitting on the bench talking to Jung-wo and the cop, at this time he does not have the bracelet on, and there are several stalkers shots used (hinting at an additional presence)
And the stalkers shots were only ever used when Moon-jo was lurking somewhere and I think that is what made the cop so jumpy
Next scene, the cop is returning the Metamorphosis book to Jung-wo and he is wearing the bracelet (where did he get it from), then cut to the cop leaving the room and noticing a Moon jo like figure in the lift. < I think Moon-jo visiting his "babe" and gave him his gift >
In my opinion, Only Moon-jo knew the importance of that bracelet and if it was found at the crime scene/on Jung-wo's body at the time they found him, it would have been collected as evidence.
I agree with the points made
Though

PS
If there is no respect shown in representation then the people of that culture have a right to call it out and the writers a chance to change

I wish people would see Mental Health as what it is.
People get Physically sick, all the time and its the same exact thing as Mental Illness
If you catch a cold and dont treat it, it can get worse and become fatal
same thing for mental health
I have never met a Healthy human being who had active suicide thoughts but if you are Mentally Ill or even Physically Ill, it can become fatal.
I wish people saw it like that then maybe a "cry for help" would not be commonplace in these situations
