Even for a crime thriller, the amount of promotion is tragic. Netflix at least held cinema screenings for some of their thrillers. Either they spent all the marketing budget on CTLBT, or they think this won't be a hit and can't be bothered to promote it at all.

Jisoo doing what she does best: wearing pretty dresses and looking pretty.

Sung Dong Il and Keum Sae Rok are miscast. The dad should be portrayed as someone who's going to great lengths because of his desperation, but SDI is not giving that yet. Meanwhile KSR comes across as an arrogant rich kid shouting in court to prove her point. Or maybe that's how her character is supposed to be but it's not appealing at all. During the court scenes, something feels off. There's supposed to be an intensity and conflict between the teacher and student, but there's nothing imo. The only one who I think fits the role a little is Ryeoun.

Plot-wise, this show is clearly not realistic at all but the hook works for now; though anyone who isn't morally corrupt should know that the guy is just a serial killer through and through. Being an evil murderer and the inventor of all cures are not mutually exclusive. So the moral dilemma needs to be centered on what should be done by the prosecution -- give him the right punishment immediately or consider the possibility that he can cure all diseases, and grant him his favour of "proving himself to the world".

The nose job is botched but I thought his nose is the same as the past few years?

It looks interesting but it's crickets from Netflix when it comes to this show, compared to the promotion fest done for Can This Love Be Translated. Like I almost forgot about its existence before I saw this article. Hopefully that doesn't mean the internal reviews were unfavorable...

Even Ha Jungwoo has returned to TV dramas, it's inevitable at this point for the chungmuro actors

Good, it's about time she moved on from melodramas

So, she's a rich and powerful woman who isn't satisfied with her status and wants to get even more rich and powerful... Not sure if that's supposed to be appealing but okay

Apparently it's really hard when you're rich and greedy 🤷‍♂️

13.6m USD! That amount is just insanity. Dude had everything and still screwed up... let's see if he can somehow find a loophole around this (I doubt so)

I'm not saying they don't have good shows (they do, but their promotion sucks and they mostly end up flopping), they just don't seem to have a good long term plan.

People saying this lineup is better than Netflix's have to be kidding. Most of their biggest shows this year -- Remarried Empress, Delusion, Perfect Crown -- are all expensive, flashy fantasies. A.k.a., "Let's make these hallyu stars dress up in pretty clothes, now all their fans are gonna subscribe". What diversity? To me, it's almost like they're just throwing money everywhere, and yet somehow they still forget to market their own shows 🤦‍♂️ Last year's lineup looked better than this.

The average quality of Netflix originals is nothing to write home about either, but at least you can see that they have a strategy. One huge show with the biggest names, one experimental show starring newcomers, mix of thriller/romance/historical genres, mix of commercial shows and potential sleeper hits.

Overall, not a fan of either but you can never convince me to subscribe to Disney Plus.

What are you talking about? Netflix always confirmed their Korean lineup in early Feb (it happened earlier this year), and they aggressively promote the big projects, which was also done for CTLBT.

She might not be the best at acting, but she's unique and has her strengths. People might say that she's immature and whatnot, but at least she's honest and has her priorities right.

Let's hope this is better than the average korean Netflix thriller which starts well but ends in the gutter.

We do not speak of that shitshow

GYJ is shaping up to be the next it girl. Good for her

You're right, it does look like a mystery novel cover

Um, let's be real here... 3.7 is the lowest record for premiere ratings in SBS's weekend timeslot, and that is following the ratings success of Taxi Driver 3... It's not decent at all 😬

Exactly my point
