I like this drama a lot. However, I believe it doesn't exploit all its potential. Sometimes it's really slow, forgetting the main storyline (Han Tae Joo's in the present time). Yes, our main lead is in 1988, but I'd like to know what happened to him, if the world he's in is real or not, if he actually travelled back in time or not, if the 1988 world is just a dream or hallucination, or if it's a copy of 1988 in another dimension or time line.
I love this drama and the cast! All the cases the three judges have to deal with make you think about the world and the huge responsibility that comes along with being a judge.
This is one of the very few dramas that make me laugh and cry!
Also, Lee Elijah is gorgeous! She is my weakness ^^
What if the world Tae Joo is in is not real? What if it's a world for dead people, an afterlife or purgatory? When Tae Joo tells the criminal to shoot him, he answers: "You think you're alive, right? Don't be mistaken, you're being fooled. You're dead already. With this rotten world."
Also, when the barman asks Tae Joo: "How does it feel coming back from the dead?", he answers: "it feels exactly like coming back from the dead." Then the barman laughs, as if he knew what Tae Joo exactly means.
If you have watched the BBC's original version, then you'll know what I mean. This theory makes A LOT of sense.
The main protagonist Sam Tyler was in a comma and eventually woke up in the present time. However, he found his real life empty and hollow, and committed suicide by jumping off the police headquarters roof, resulting in him waking up in 1973 again. The 1973 world was not real, he never travelled back in time, it was actually some kind of purgatory for deceased police officers.
I don't want the ending to be the same as in the British version. Seriously, I hated that ending and the explanation, it made no sense at all. Let's hope OCN "fixed" it.
Once I almost said "joesonghamnida" while bowing when I arrived a few minutes late. I can't be cured!

P.S. Thanks a lot for the list!
