SenpaiSuki

In the novel, she performs a C section on her sister in law to deliver the baby which honestly doesn't make sense for the era they are in. She would have lost so much blood and the pain, OMG! But she miraculously survives and gets physically better but slips into PPD and doesn't look after the baby. Also in the novel, Qin Chen is found dead trying to save his grandma and not CaiHe, I like the drama version better as it gives some closure and redemption for both these characters.

I honestly like how the drama is treating certain plots, makes more sense than the novel.

100%

People like QX's mom wonder then why their adult children go low/no contact with them!!!

QX's story seems so similar to Ling Xiao from Go Ahead!

Whatever little I know about the Manhwa, I dont think that is going to happen. Also I am pretty sure Bong Su also wants peace at the end of the day. Yeah he likes Seong Ah but also his original intention is to find whatever name/s are on those rocks from when he was a soldier.

Can you spoil the manhwa for me?

I also think he is looking for his name. He has been searching the rocks hoping to find his identity. I feel so bad for Bong Su! Poor kid also suffers from PTSD. I think he will sacrifice himself in the end for his crush - Seong Ah.

Japanese courtrooms are actually quiet brightly lit, glad to know people can actually see and read clearly. If one were to go by all the Jdrama depictions of Japanese courtrooms, one would think they are all claustrophobic cages with no windows and lights.

Yeah you are right. I think its a tiny bit rushed but better than dragging the plot along.

Yes, they get married and the story ends with the news of her carrying twins!

The novel has some 300+ chapters, I wonder how they will fit it all in? I am guessing they will bypass some of the cases and events in the novel after the current case.

For some people it makes sense not to be in LTR like the detective. Also what is to say circumstances dont change for such people? Dating them is a choice and I get not many people would want to date someone with so many lines but no one is being forced to. The people who can see the lines can just mind their own business like the main lead does and not go around doling out "justice" like the helmet guy did.

The half circle only exists when the current partner is in the vicinity. If they arent, all your lines go to the sky.

I hope they eventually explore this topic with more nuance. There's nothing inherently wrong with having multiple partners, as long as everything is consensual and no one is being dishonest or cheated on. That said, the glasses only show you lines connecting people, but not the context behind those connections. How are you supposed to tell the difference between past relationships, or current ones? As for the detective, I completely understand why he’d avoid a long term relationship. He has a niece and a father with dementia who rely on him. Choosing not to bring someone else into what he sees as a life already filled with heavy responsibilities is actually thoughtful and self aware. But again, the glasses completely miss that kind of nuance. They reduce everything to lines, without capturing the complexity of people’s lives and choices. And both people we have seen so far using them have been judging people solely on the number of lines.

Exactly! Like how often do you remember what people look like, even if they are regulars and the bartender sees so many people everyday. Even for regulars, most people often forget minute details or things like that arent mentioned because you make assumptions.

Dont miss the post credit scene in episode 40!!!

I get where you're coming from, and honestly, I do agree with parts of what you said, especially about trauma and how overwhelming it can be. But I still think we’re mixing up trauma with plain bad writing. Yes, PTSD and childhood abuse can make someone act impulsively, even irrationally, especially in highly stressful situations. But at some point, even people with serious trauma start noticing patterns and trying to adapt. That’s basic survival instinct. We’ve seen her go through the same thing multiple times now, and yet she keeps making the same reckless decisions without any kind of learning curve or reflection. She’s supposed to be a doctor. She’s highly educated and clearly smart, so why does she keep acting like she has no clue what she’s doing?

My biggest beaf: Trauma doesn’t make you dumb. It might cause hesitation or panic, but it also makes people more alert, not less. Survivors of trauma often become hyper aware of potential threats and I am saying this as someone with PTSD. And yet she continues to ignore the adopted daughter, even after being attacked by her more than once. That’s not trauma logic, that’s just lazy writing. You’d think after the first time, she’d be on high alert. But nope. She keeps underestimating her. It makes no sense, especially when she knows what her father is capable of.

I also don’t buy the idea that she’s trying to protect people by isolating herself anymore. That would make sense early on, sure. But now that people have literally died because she’s keeping everything to herself, it just feels selfish and careless. If she truly wanted to stop him and prevent more deaths, she’d involve the right people in a smarter way. Instead, she keeps pushing everyone away and going at it alone, like she’s on some personal revenge mission, and it’s getting others killed in the process. That’s not noble. That’s reckless.

And if the writers are trying to hint that she’s becoming like her father, leaning into that sociopathic side, then they’re not doing a good job showing it. We’d be seeing her become colder, more detached, maybe starting to lose her empathy. But that’s not what’s happening. She’s just all over the place, emotional, panicky, lashing out, and not in a way that makes sense for someone either breaking down or becoming more like him. It just feels like they want her to be tragic, but they also want her to be smart, and they can’t seem to balance it.

Honestly, her actions just feel inconsistent. Like, I’m not expecting her to suddenly become a perfect mastermind, but I do expect her to grow at least a little. Right now, it’s like she’s stuck in the same loop, and it’s frustrating to watch. Trauma might explain the first bad decision, maybe even the second. But by the third time, she’s just being reckless, and that’s on her, not just her past.

Bottom line is Yes, trauma is powerful, and yes, this situation is beyond terrifying. But at some point, she needs to act like someone who’s learned something. Otherwise, it’s not character development, it’s just lazy storytelling hiding behind trauma as an excuse.

Sorry but I still disagree. My point still stands, repeating the same thing expecting different results isn't cleverness. Its been three times now she has done things impulsively and regretted it. Also if she wants to pretend to cooperate with him, why the hell keep attacking him to show him she isn't on the same team? And now she possibly lost a hand.
Also can we discuss how she keeps ignoring the adopted daughter as a variable? I can see it happening the first time when she was tasered, she could've thought 'oh what could a kid possibly do to me?' but the second time, and then the third time?
Also, being associated with her dad might ruin her reputation but being an actual murderer is a greater ruiner of reputation IMO.

The Fl's character isn't making sense. They are trying to portray her as complex character but everyone has a reason for the way they behave, whereas her actions are random and not well thought out. She has been so impulsive, I understand if its once or twice given her history with her father but its the third time now.
And what was the point of co-operating with your dad? Or even pretending to? That was such a dumb move by any standards. If she did it to hide her real identity from her current life, it still doesn't make sense. She was a child when she helped her dad clean up and a helpless accessory. What she did in the last few episodes makes her a willing adult murderer. Like girl, use your brain for reals, for someone who is doctor you are acting too dumb.
