The way a lot of these fangirls feel entitled to these celebrities lives is legit INSANE, they need professional…
I do find it it interesting how these shows treat this issue. In Australia, such a situation is treated as assault. Even if you forgive your assailant the matter still goes to court and is prosecuted on behalf of the community because it’s a criminal (serious) offence. Any remorse is taken into account, but you will still be penalised.
In SK, from what I can see, there are laws around violence, but would appear to get lost in the whole “I will sue you for libel/defamation” defense we often see played out in dramas. It seems to be a country that is still struggling with how to deal with the more serious crimes (as the incident rate is quite low). My Private Life didn’t show us what happens next after the forgiveness scene with the perpetrators. Earlier, the arresting officer did say they would spend the night in the lock-up. However, this is far from satisfactory as an outcome. A post script scene with them in court would have been a good way to close out the matter.
yeah i feel that the revelation and their reaction is kinda "awkward"
I like the reference to The Dance of the Lion and the Unicorn. I will need to track it down.
With An, I was expecting a slightly different and more sympathetic reaction due to his experiences. Psychologically, people in An’s situation can react in different ways depending on what happened to them as a child. It would seem, based on his childhood, An did not create a false self (caused by wanting our parents to love us) he seems very genuine. He doesn’t appear to be passive aggressive (being angry all the time but not showing it). He doesn’t seem to be playing the victim (resulting from continual victimisation that leads to feeling unimportant). He is, if anything, perhaps passive - where he has buried his feelings and holds himself back so he doesn’t stand out (resulting from being abandoned).
With the unconscious vendetta, it is very true that we lash out or reject those closest to us when faced with a confronting situation. It’s also true re what An said regarding his distrust in what people say due to experiencing terrible human behaviour hidden below the surface.
It seemed to me though, up until this point, An knew how to deal with his issues and how to handle something out of left field (similarly with Jae-in who has experienced stability as a young police officer). This is demonstrated through him avoiding crowded places eg being on a bus, feeling useful by trying out his psychometric powers, undertaking a playful relationship with his brother, and valuing his friendships (sort of).
In any case, it seems An quickly regretted his actions and made sure he reconciled with Jae-In very quickly :)
Not sure what to make of the first episode. It does have that angsty feel to it. There were a couple of things that irked me a little e.g. the psychiatrist is in the wrong in my view - prepared to help GMC but not BKE, dreadful mother-in-law blaming BKE for husband’s suicide, even GMC wanting to protect his wife’s image (which is fine - but putting out a statement that really sugar coats everything?). There are good performances all round though and the potential is there for show to settle into a mature drama.
Yeah so much is going on right now it's hard to see how the end will turn out. I think the pregnant part is a…
Yes, they are pulling out all the stops now to try and keep us guessing. I find that’s a shame because it undermines what was, up until the 50th episode, quite a decent and entertaining show. I’m not sure if a happy ending is the best outcome, but I would like there to be one.
can someone explain the reason for this rating? I'm watching the drama wrong? I dont understand. this is so incredible,…
This is the best thriller out there for some time. The way the story builds each episode, the battle of wits, and the performances from an all star cast contribute to a quality production. Doctor Prisoner is so much better than a range of shows sitting around the 8.7 mark.
I found that I didn’t appreciate ep 10 all that much. If it wasn’t for the final scenes and the other side stories I would have dropped Psychometric.
Jae In’s reaction to An’s “rejection” of her was very well portrayed by SYE. However, I found An’s reaction regarding Jae In’s “truth” didn’t ring true for me. I also found much of this episode didn’t really add much to the story. If anything, Writer Nim was trying to do what many Kdramas do: either insert a storyline to muddy the waters or reconstruct the back story to justify An’s different than expected reaction.
From where I sit, An and Jae In’s relationship is very special. It would have taken more than the reveal re Jae In’s dad to fracture what they have. An knows through his abilities alone there are two sides to every story. Yes, his reaction was very much an emotional one. Yes, he would need to take a deep breath. An is forthright though.
So, the saving grace for me right now is Dae Bong’s relationship with So Hyung, which is delightful, as is the Aunty’s interactions with Jae In’s superior.
I have my fingers crossed for what comes next. Logic should kick in once An knows Jae In is in danger. Maybe, I’m also feeling a bit cranky too :)
Inspector Jo had a solid start. There are good characterisations throughout and the satire is pitched just right at the moment. I’m looking forward to our hero’s redemption :)
