Clearly rushed ending. Feeling is like there was some promise for additional episodes but it was cancelled and writer used cut-delete-paste to make last ep. script from longer story. Seems that writer/producer got so carried away with all this " hardships of singel mother in Korea" theme and forgot that they have only 16 episodes and no time to act out traditional ending for this kind korean dramas - after long rebellion main leads smoothly fall into korean traditional family bliss and live happily til they die...and writer/producer wasnt brave enough to make clearly different , radical and original ending bc main audience, ahjummas, dont like this...so we got something messy, weird and awkward for ending.
This is just mine first glance oppinion and thoughts.
I would add that Vanness is great dancer and into music section i would add that he has collaborated with Korean singer Kangta to make album "Scandal" ( Kangta is Korean actor, singer and former member of legendary boy band H.O.T. )
It gets better by every episode ant its rating is going up by every episode.
By Nielsen Korea 5th. episode was 8,8% (previous episode was 7,4%; +1,4 ) and Healer quickly catches up with MBC Pride and Prejudice (15 ep. 9,9% ,16 ep. 9.4%; - 0,5) what is now on first place.
HUGE SPOILER !!!DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED THIS DRAMA!!!! Why isn't the psychopath being released from…
He killed two guys who murdered his parents. First he was released by evil prosecutor, who wanted use him. So his case needs to be relooked. -it was hinted that there is big chanse he gets to be freed.
Finale is coming.... I have great hopes and fears.,,,I even be ok if endig is what i think, it would be bit boring for me but i still keep liking this drama a lot.
If waiting for next episode is too long and you get bored...you can take Psychopath Test.
It is kinda similar to what you saw in drama done by LJM but not original one.
It is well done drama, we have only 2 eps for truth to come out.
But...i still have one question - he was released from first time capture and saw Goo Tak's daughter. During this capture JM already knew about his memory caps or not?
Seems that he made detective follow him before first capture / GT daughter was last victim who was murdered day after JM release/ ...so he already knew...or is it plot hole? ...or is there something more hidden?
Whom i suspect to be real evil guy? It is person who called GT out that night, so that his daughter would be alone at home, this person wants hurt GT so badly that he newer-ever think but only act on pain. Bc if he starts think, investigate and search about reason why JM doesnt remember...he is capable find him.
Next thing is...i want to know why thous girls got killed. Done this way there must be reason for it. After seen all 9 eps i refuse belive that it was just one drugged psychopath on mindless brawl or someone playing with him russian roulete for fun.
Prosecutor stepped down quickly when JM was captured but he came back when GT started use JM in "Mad Dog Team".Now he wants this team to be dismissed and thous three guys back to jail. So Prosecutor is somehow involved.
I think that GT has got hint that there is/was "puppet game" with Puppet Master behind it all. But does Prosecutor is Master or Puppet? I dont think that Master came every time with JM into clinic, it could be someone else but im not 100% sure in this.
GT ordered killing of JM when he was still in jail, person who ordered killing from gangster Boss was doing it when he was already out in team and im kinda sure that he wasnt GT...same goes when TS gets killing order second time and both last orders have clausel that if killer fails he must die and even dealer who hired killers was killed. Person who orders killing is very powerful, from high position and has some shady dealings with underworld.
First order fom GT,when JM was still in jail, didnt have this clausel and old dealer who hired TS is still alive.
So...here clearly is Puppet Master behind scenes.
I really hope that they dont mess up with ending and make final mystery to be disappointment.
I havent seen all thous dramas but from what i have seen i like Gu Family Book one best...but i dont have any fav. songs here.
.... i like idea of this article series alot....but ...it would have been bit better if dramas/songs where sorted by countries and/or airing year. Now i only have faint hint that author has goal with the way how songs are presented but...it doesnt go out well and overall impression is - random.
This is very good review.
DITTO to all what you wrote and would add that this movie has high rewatching value - every time you can find some new details, one more layer or just feel bit different than when you saw it previously. This movie changes with you, with situations where you are, with time around you....
This is just mine first glance oppinion and thoughts.
