IMHO, Black Out is still the dark horse of this period. The rest of them... at least for me, there's nothing to draw me in. Good thing we're not all the same and can enjoy different things, right? :D
He looked like the aide that went into the congresswoman's office just after the husband left. I think she ordered it done, or the secretary decided for herself how to "handle" it. I mean, she already helped cover up the murder from back then, what's one more pretend suicide?
Go Jeong woo still lives with the detective , that is amazing the detective looking for him in his house finding…
He moved back to his house when he decided he'd look after his mother more and not get that involved in the investigation, since NSC had that part covered. And then NaGyeom called and asked him over with the bait of the video.
Wow, the audacity of that rapist cop's father to ask GJW to write an appeal—especially after they put GJW through…
For someone with no morals, she's very astute. She knew he would never look at her, UNLESS he had no one else to look at. So first she made sure there were no girls/women around him, then made sure he would be locked up... and only have her as an "ally".
The novel is a lot worse than the drama, in that aspect, since, as he never even imagined her involvement, and she DID seem to be his friend... things happened.
I'm just mad she's probably going to skip serious punishment in the drama, given she IS actually insane.
I want to watch this for JCW, we'll see how dark it is LOL.
(He kept saying he doesn't want any more action dramas and yet he keeps getting them, LOL, I guess he just decided - okay, we'll do this if you want them so much, BUT they're all going to be gritty and noir and see how you like THAT, you weak-hearted fools! :D)
(Also, I love A Laughter in the Sea, this version and the version he sang with WYB at DDU, too - when they were still allowed to appear together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G-KnIe6iMc )
No, in the German novel the culprit is actually different. The only thing adapted from the novel is the foundation…
I did read the novel, and actually re-read it mid-series because I was unclear on some details.
No, it's not exagerrated, LOL, did we really read the same book?! They're talking about it directly, when Kirchhoff is investigating and discovers how Laura's death happened. She did beg for her life after she was thrown in the oil tank, and they left her there for Jorg's father to come and push earth over the tank's door in order to stop them from taking her out.
And the mother's hatred of everything her husband didn't do right - including not disposing of all clues properly so that they would never be found and her son would get off cleanly - is also there throughout the story.
I pay attention to details, but even so, it's not even needed with this novel, since Neuhaus' style is so pragmatically direct, it becomes mechanical. She doesn't even imply things, she straight out tells them to you all the time, including what the characters think at a point in time - there's nothing to debate and consider you might be wrong, the author already overexplained everything. (IMHO she's not the greatest mystery writer, BUT she did write at least one interesting police story - this one, anyway.)
What I've recounted above is not about their motivations, BTW, just the sequence of their actions. Actions that were thus presented in the novel... So I don't really understand what's the gripe.
P. S. Not to mention that Laura's disappeareance and eventual presumed death wasn't even the main part of the story, a lot more attention and plot development was given to Stephanie's presumed death and disappeareance instead, exactly the other way around than in the drama.
First episode, I'm not really sold. There were a lot of predictable things happening, a lot of posing for good shots but not much of actual substance. So far it really feels like a teenager's revenge fantasy in which supernatural beings come and solve (all kinds of) problems.
I might give it the second episode before deciding to continue or not. Just not right now.
Wait wait !!! I thought he tied the body with heavy things and dumped it in the water ? Don’t tell me the psycho…
I didn't mean she was alive - she isn't. But she's not far.
... Remember that after the doctor panicked and ran, DeokMi/NaGyeom went to leave that tool at his door and scare him - but the last witness was still there in the barn, with the body.

I guess you're all still in shock :D
