Even though it feels like it's going to be wrapped up soon I feel like it's the calm before the storm. Even with…
Hmm, that's an interesting prediction too.Call me radical, but I think they might kill off Chef Kwon in a dramatic (maybe ironic) way. I could totally be wrong, but I feel like if he doesn't end up in prison because Moo Gak made the "civil" decision as a law abiding citizen and detective (aka, the "good guy") not to take vengeance/revenge out on Chef Kwon, he'll end up behind bars.I'm hoping he doesn't get off on a technicality, that would be quite troubling.
Even though it feels like it's going to be wrapped up soon I feel like it's the calm before the storm. Even with that cliffhanger at the end of episode 14. I can just picture Chef Kwon giving Moo Gak a condescending line and escaping immediately. I bet he'll even kidnap Cho Rim... maybe. I just have this feeling that there's going to be more action... ahhh only 2 episodes left :(
Those are the worse cops I've ever seen. So they sit around while he has one of their own instead of searching…
To be fair, without spoiling much, they've barged into Chef Kwon's house numerous of times with search warrants without finding anything. If they went in without one (even to search the property with a perimeter) they would have gotten into more trouble, and even though they could have gone rogue, I think they did a smart thing. Especially since they knew of Cho Rim's ability now. Depending on what episode you're on, they were trying to outwit the Chef because he's outwitted them a number of times. Korean dramas usually have the 'useless' cop tropes in dramas, and sometimes it's done in different ways. Most of the time it's because it keeps the drama running, since the case could have been solved ten episodes ago. But, if you want to watch a few great Korean dramas with competent cops (at least cops who are doing their best and are smart), check out Bad Guys, You're All Surrounded, Crime Squad, Bitter Blood, Tokyo Dogs. Just to name a few. I've watched them, and they're pretty great.
I'm totally shipping Ok Hyun and Woo Shik. There's definitely some hinted chemistry there... well at least for Woo Shik, poor fella probably has some obstacles ahead knowing our awesomely headstrong heroine Wendy!! ^^
What a cruel fate... she loses the love her life because of her best friend. Then she gets close to a person who has her dead fiance's heart. Although remarkable incidents, I totally feel for Soon Jung. I wonder how she's going to keep herself together. Honestly, "sadness passes" as they keep highlighting in the series but that's a lot of emotional baggage. This is the first tme I've ever wondered what will happen in the last 4 episodes.
I really love how, if you compare Song Ji Hyo to her beginning days of Running Man, she's all high heels and (a bit) glam (not that that's not great, but it's Running Man lol), and in her later years with RM, she's in runners and baseball caps. I feel like she has grown so much as a versatile person over her acting career, and I will have to take a look at more of her works since I've only watched 2 of her dramas. I'm just wowed by how humble she seems, and she's totally feisty, laid back, smart, and owns it all; she's Ace Blank Ji after all. For anyone that watches RM at least, I find her really inspiring, and I can't wait to start watching her new drama. She has such a natural look, and it's so awesome.
Just wondering, in what episode will JX fall for ZZ?
And will JX really fall for YD?
It's so tempting to look ahead, so I'm with you on that. I looked right until the end and the problems keeping flaring up. There's so much more drama in store. That's why I needed to take a break from it. No probs! I hope you're enjoying the drama :) :D
Every little thing about this drama has become so precious to me.The relationship that Ri On and Ri Jin have is beautiful: I laughed, I cried, I smiled from ear to ear during their scenes together. Especially their "Team Rocket" performance. That was just so cute and perfect. Their chemistry was in sync (I swear I thought they were real siblings in reality a few times!), and I wish I could relive watching their moments together again because it was just so wonderful. I will never forget Ri Jin's sincerity, and how invested she was towards the relationship she had with Do Hyun's 'personalities.' Especially in the final scenes when Ri Jin was interacting with these people (who of course are Do Hyun) but they were all different, and these were moments I will not soon forget. I will always remember Ji Sung's performance(s) here. If that man doesn't take home a Baeksang, or any form of awards, my heart won't be able to take it. Kill Me, Heal Me wasn't just acted out, it was literally lived out by Hwang Jung Eum, Ji Sang, and Park Seo Joon. The emotion was real, and I was moved by this series balance between humour, love, and tragedy. Truly a fantastic series. I am astounded by how much charisma and beauty this series has. I definitely fell in love with this drama, and I hope to see Park Seo Joon in more projects in the future!
Is the main girl a mary sue, or is she actually badass?
@Rosie that is absolutely fair. I'm at episode 19 now, and I find her to be annoying at points. I find this series a little bit daunting to complete. I like Joe Chen as an actress, and she's portraying her character well. But the only redeeming thing about the main woman is precisely because she sticks up for herself. Yes, naive in certain points, but she's not the worse female lead I've come across.
Just wondering, in what episode will JX fall for ZZ?
And will JX really fall for YD?
ZZ falls for JX pretty quickly (as I'm sure you noticed), but that's because he becomes quite possessive of her which he justifies because it's "protecting" her, which is true, but there are points when he gets too intrusive. I'm only on episode 19, but if you want to get technical, JX returns ZZ's feelings in episode 24 when she confesses to him (I couldn't resist looking ahead). JX doesn't really fall in love with YD per say, there's actually another "love" rival in this series, and I wouldn't want to spoil it for you, I'm sure he'll appear soon. JX seems to be infatuated with YD, but there's not really a moment I can say that JX falls for YD, especially since I've been skipping ahead. They look more like comrades then anything. And there moments of almost kissing and YD's affection for JX does seem to be friendly rather than romantic. At least, that's my opinion! :)
This is such a beautiful drama! And is so underrated!! if you come across this page and read the comments, I can assure you (hopefully) that you won't regret choosing this one. I hope I can convince anyone to give this one a go! I'm picky when it comes to drama watching after a few disastrous melodramas later (I'll admit, I've had my regrettable drama selections that I've bitterly finished to the end or dropped), but this one has a fantastic balance.The story telling is fresh and the chemistry is great all around. The Fukazawa sisters are the best!
I find Hye Mi to be quite petty. Circumstanially speaking even if she doesn't impress the director she's still…
That was eloquently expressed. I couldn't agree more. That is why I've decided to put it on hold for a bit. I just wish we had more smart and assertive 'Second Lead' women in dramas. Who acknowledge there's competition and go for it without this petty attitude. Given her past I can sympathize but I can't condone her attitude. I think it definitely can get alot worse. In that case I'm glad it's only 16 episodes.
Is the main girl a mary sue, or is she actually badass?
She's pretty badass given the fact it's 1930s Beijing. So far she's been strong willed. I don't want to spoil any events but Joe Chen has been good at confronting her problems. There's definitely drama, and I can't say she's able to physically throw around the punches but she's emotionally strong and I think that makes her badass for doing her best without being over the top whiny.
Joe Chen is so beautiful. She's so talented. But I'm trying to get used to her dubbed over voice here and it's…
I think it's because Mainland China wants a particular kind of most understandable accent for the Standard Mandarin. In Tawainese dramas they don't dub over, but in Chinese dramas they usually do it so that voices conform to their standard. Since there are a lot of dialects in China. I suppose to make it more uniform. I know it's weird. But I suppose it makes sense. I had to do my own research about it. That's why I usually avoid Chinese dramas because it can be distracting. But I really like Joe Chen so I'm giving it a chance.
Okay, so what about her illness? Did she miraculously get cured? Her fainting on stage was kind of glossed over…
I know right!! And her hinted affection towards Jackson which kind of fizzled out. There are quite a few things that could have been wrapped up a little better. Or there was some horrible editing. I totally agree! Chansung is the best ♡
The entire third season is here ☺
