ShortCircuit

Haven't met many cats, have you, LOL. Maybe like a good nice puppy adoring his master. But a cat? Never :D

But that's exactly how she died in the novel. They raped her, (in-novel) GeonOh returned, she was panicking and tried to run thinking he was going to rape her too, she slid/lost her balance and hit her head. Thinking she was dead, they took her to the oil tank, where she was at least awake and begging them to get her out. Instead they ran home to the parents who went to the oil tank and blocked the entry, so that the boys couldn't take her out in case they changed their mind in time.

And that's precisely how it's in the drama, too. Unless you mean she wasn't whacked in the head but died either by hunger or thirst or because of her wounds. In the end, the parents are the culprits.

I bet they said the same for the second season, too :D

In the novel, BoYeong's character (the girl who was raped) fell and hit her head. The guys put her body in the oil tank and she was still alive and had awoken then, begging them to let her out. They went home and told their parents, the parents went there and buried the oil tank's entry under dirt so that the guys wouldn't go back and take her out. The parents are guilty in the drama, too. ETA IIRC one of their fathers was friends or related to someone working at the derelict US military base where the oil tank was, so he had the keys to enter the base. That's how the boys knew of it, too (since they would mess around with (in-novel) GJW's car around the base).

Their motivation at the time was that she was the village slut and raping her would have destroyed the boys' shining futures. In the drama she was a virgin and there wasn't anything she did wrong, but the parents still didn't want their boys' futures to be marred by having raped her and tried to get rid of her.

PS Also (in-novel) MinSu's mom was the most vindictive one, she was extremely pissed the men couldn't deal with it better so that there was no chance anything would be found out. She was just as despicable as them. In the drama, she seems not to be really aware of what happened.

I took forever to start the first season, then really-really liked it.

Then it took forever for them to make the second one, and I am not really invested in starting it - it's going to take forever again to make the third one, I didn't really like the OST (yeah I know, but it matters a lot to me), I am not happy with the change of actors for a certain character at least, and basically the only one I really really like is Fan Xian (Zhang RuoYun is the best!)

It doesn't help that I spoiled myself on the novel and have a general idea of how things go.

I'll still watch it some time... maybe when they start working on the third season.

Actually, no, the culprits are the same. It's just that their professions are switched or changed totally. But it's the same characters.

Considering all the small and big changes they did to the novel in adapting it, they did manage to keep all the right whodunnits, actually! So, yeah, it's not just the one despicable friend - they're really all in it together.

The way the Chief of police said "take responsibility" when he never EVER took responsibility for his own deeds at all (despite GeonOh telling him to do exactly that in his letter).

Yup, this town needs to be destroyed with fire. Just take the righteous out of it before you light it up.

Yeah, got that vibe of, "go away now, we'll be just fine by ourselves" LOL.

If he's not careful, NSC will end up with the same obsession over GJW that NaGyeom has, hahaha~ (I totally understand it TBH, I'm all ready to obsess over him too :D)

She wasn't dumped... she's still close by.

LOL imagine if they show even a hint of those steamy scenes that were in the webnovel, hahaha~

TBH, I am just really happy someone's got JeongWoo's back - I mean, NSC is even keeping tag of his meals, making sure he stays fed. Maybe he's just trying to spare his card with the hospital, LOL, before JeongWoo faints from hunger and lack of sleep again :D

Oh LOL. He's like ~give THAT here~ hahaha~

They're so freaking CUTE I can't

I think she's a good actress - good looks only take you so far, and she managed to build a whole career with just the first major help due to her betrayal. But JeongWoo knows her well, they were friends before. And he seems to have grown some good instincts in prison (not as before, when he was friends with all those scum bastards), maybe he's shying away instinctively too.

And given that all three of his best friends turned out to have betrayed him and killed their other friend, then pinned it on him... maybe finally he's learned not to be too trusting any more. (Which is too bad, but then he's an adult now, playing an adults' world field where the reward is his own peace of mind and/or life. He can't afford to trust easily any more.)

Dammit, Won TaeMin looks so much like Choi San, I kept getting distracted.

It didn't strike me they look so much alike when he was in High School Return of a Gangster. Strange what styling can do.

So is the parent story needed for this one? 'Cause I've only watched this one (the series version). Sweet and cute, undecided ending (is there more of them in ULS?)

Everybody likes a devoted detective helping the MC who everybody also likes :D

I guess she's a good actress for everyone else but she can't fool GJW.

That WAS fun (despite the subject). This is the best I've seen Kim WooBin looking ever. When a minor character mentioned he looks imposing - oh hell yeah he does. And he has a beautiful smile (he knows it, too).

The action sequences are great (though at one point they're brawling with a leg of ham and I was thinking we'd landed in Under the Microscope 'verse LOL),

I hope he'll take some action role in a drama, too (and not the Black Knight type either). I'd watch that :D

I am just happy they did take the time to include Leader's part in JT's childhood (yeah they TLed the cat's name as Captain, I read the fan TL where it's Leader and it stuck). I hope SO much they'll let in the next cat LOL.

But I also have to say that the realisation this won't be the complete live adaptation of the novel did take the wind from my sails a bit. Now I'll just wait and wonder if and when there will be the second half of the story I love...
