Yeah like, it was obvious WHY he would agree to play the part and take the blame and punishment. But WHAT happened to the mother?! Did she get any actual treatment? Because the siblings were suddenly rich. Or she got the treatment but died anyway? Then why wouldn't the siblings - either one - tell Mr. Tak, not-psycho, what happened to his mother?? Or if the siblings got rich instead of getting their mom treatment, why was the sister all confessy and crying at MiHo (who's basically a stranger to her)?!

And if they revealed all of it... why isn't he redeemed? Where did the psycho Kang son fall off the Earth? Did CDH do something to him?!

LOL, HyeJin too died and was gone, her crazy husband didn't even get punished for murdering her.

I guess we'd better see CDH smile evilly once more instead, as he moves those very mobile ears :D I was ready to swear he was BM all the time, just because of those ears LOL

The Room Boss of the room that PCH was placed in (the guy who does the card reading for the jail master) is the original BM.

I almost asked WHICH serial killer, then got an OH WAIT!... moment :D since you know... officially...

It's a transferable position, do you really want to get spoiled on it so soon?

Yeah, they don't tend to do that to the female romantic lead of a drama, in South Korea, LOL. I would've gone for a gruesome deathbed scene, with all the bells and jingles, THEN have the male lead go extra crazy and fill up the pool himself, bucket by bucket, using tainted wastewater from the chemical plant.

And THEN he'd go away with her ashes or something, with a single tear falling from his right eye (because the cute mole on the corner of the left eye ruins the impression LOL). (And probably die himself somewhere soon enough, if that water had so many radioactive particles in it.)

We can't have too much physics, biology and psychology all at once :D

Not-psycho dude didn't get much, if any treatment. And he was exposed multiple times. Plus, those pills they kept making the ill people take might have added some variables to the story.

She would have had the best palliative care money can buy. She would still have ended up looking like hell - sores, rough patches of skin, lots of weight loss etc, but it's a drama, not reality. And she's one of the leads, so not much uglyfying possible.

I was under the impression she died of leukemia too.

And the son probably went on to get elected Governor of Texas or something.

That typo/grammar though :D

The only fitting retribution was Choi DoHa's. I liked that part, even though acute radiation poisoning wouldn't work like that unless the whole pool was glowing LOL. But all the rest... not so much. Nevermind they never found the serial killer son of the former chairman, LOL. His plane must've gone down into the Bermuda Triangle :D

So... First of all - the fckn Big Mouse organisation made (and probably kept making) their money through racketeering, gambling, prostitution, corruption from the lowest through the highest levels. I don't CARE the ex-BM got remorses and wanted to punish those who killed his daughter - what about all the other people's daughters? The original BM was evil and it remained so even when it got to confront another corruption ring that even proved better at it than itself.

I mean, I think we all still remember how PCH was almost killed in prison under the watch of his now-underling. He wouldn't have been the first. Or the last.

And what, they get to give some money to charities and they're washed free of their sins? Yeah right.

As for the drama... they spent too much time in the prison setting, and not enough trying to fight off CDH's side. They came off as amateurs in the final part of the story, nothing even went their way. At least Jerry survived. He and PCH can now get to build a great bromance, if they ever agree on who to corrupt next. And what, JiHoon is forgiven and even given a prize?! Just like that?!

Oh well, it was kind of fun at times. I've seen better, But I've watched it til the end and it says something about LJS's lead power. Onto the next one!

So that's how it ends.

For a first ep, it was good. Let's see what follows, then.

It's pretty obvious what happened - she came to beg him to stop the exorcisms, he saw an opportunity and took it (talking to her in the back of the dark warehouse, with nobody around? Her skirt all dirty, her knees scraped - that doesn't happen without a scramble, and she had no reason to start one - he did). It ended badly for him. She's obviously been deeply marked by it - even when living basically in seclusion, in the dark (remember the broken light?), she's always wearing those baggy clothes, she wouldn't reach out to anyone for help. Only to HyunSoo, and only when he's the one making the first move. And MooJin, but still in order to defend HyunSoo, and nothing else (even when he shows he's still interested.)

He (HyunSoo) already has a strange brain. And he's been through a lot of shocks in his life, that would have deeply scarred a normal person. IIRC, when JiWon first started doubting him, she took him to the basement of his dad's house and tried to trigger him with the recording of his mother's voice. She said then, just to see his reaction, that DHS might have been used by his father to bring food and water to his victims - if that would have been true, it would have made that kid WANT to forget everything. And then there's his mother, missing... Maybe he also wanted to forget when he had seen her last.

Add to that the drowning (he was in an induced hypo-temperature coma when MiSook's husband tried to kill him), and the actual bullet going through his brain when HeeSung shot him. It's a wonder he's still functioning almost normally (for himself, that is).

It hurt they lost their moments of understanding each other and the quiet times before the crisis... but they have a chance to do it all over again. So after all it's still a hopeful ending.

I seriously doubt he is. But it is a possibility - though we're not told WooShin himself believes it.

I choose to take it as a set-up for his upcoming revenge. It's an open-ended story, so I get to imagine what would happen. I also seriously doubt they'll make a second season, so we get to pick our own endings instead :)

I never watched said actor in said scandal, in any of his dramas (that I know of) and I didn't even comment on his own page or on any of his dramas' pages. I asked about THIS drama's airing schedule since it has been rumoured to air this year and the dates keep getting pushed back. The connection between the two dramas might or might not have an impact on the airing dates. I was hoping for someone more informed than I to post a reply, and that already happened.

Attacking someone who just asked a question re: this precise drama on the page of said drama makes me wonder why you are taking it so personally. But I don't actually care to learn the answer to that.

Don't bother replying to this comment, since I'll be using the block button. Have a nice life.

The twin on the shore is supposed to be SSH, because of the message and the diamond spear/arrow he's holding. But then, it was HWS who had the thing in the first place, and the one who has all the reasons to try and bring down Haesong and HyeSoo's new reign.

Sadly, SSH is most probably gone. But he was always kind of reckless, so it's not actually all that surprising. And TBH the manner the SIH killed Mr Lee's brother was atrocious and SSH did play a part in it, and at the time he wasn't even too much involved yet.

The most cerebral one was always WooShin, who started the whole thing and now gets to inherit and re-live all the guilt, and add to it all the dead people his actions caused, and the death of bio-dad and worse, his own twin. I think he's trying hard to plan ahead (that quip about a book - yeah, that wasn't all there is to it.) HyeSoo kind of lost impulse once she got what she wanted - she never wanted Haesong, she just wanted to keep it from HyunJo. What now? LOL. She doesn't have what it takes to keep it, and there's no more Team A. WooShin might have the willpower now, since he's being spurred on by the guilt.

IF. And that's a big IF. IF there's a certain secret organisation - not the SIH, not Team A, some other one, because why not? - that would have come into play... Then yes, there might be some way to deus-ex-machina SSH into a coma (because why not?) and play HWS's feelings against him in order to manipulate Haesong or somebody/something else. But I don't hold much hope for another season, so we're going probably to be left off with a Vagabond-style ending. Oh well.

At least it's not WooShin who died, and Dongrim has a happy ending (he's too happy for his dad not to be alright.)

Taesung, on being happy of not actually killing Mr Lee - CTS, dammit, you shot Mr Kwon point blank three times!!! Shut the heck up and sit down.

For myself, I liked this drama - mostly for WooShin. It's almost a origin story for him: the quiet brainiac who used to write books, got too certain things would move along legal lines in the real world, lost his twin and father(s) to it, and now gets to plan his revenge.

If it happens, I'll watch it. As long as there's Ji Sung playing HWS.

She's not going to hold it for long. And no, he's not.

I don't really remember that part - I was caught in the twins' problems oops. I kind of think they weren't allowed to leave that compound before the party (and the elections) because of the danger of either of them revealing the plot relating to the gun laws HaeSong would support. But I do also kind of remember him asking about going to the hospital - it's just too unclear ATM for me WHEN exactly that came. I've had a couple of really exhausting weeks :(

Still, I think it was about moving Dongrim's dad from the hospital where he's basically a hostage (and where he immediately had a lapse of health when Dongrim and WooShin learned about the gun laws and told Chairman Kwon), and not Dongrim actually getting leave to go and see him. Just that they were able to move him (maybe with HyeSoo's help, when WooShin thought she was helping?)

I haven't had a chance to watch the final episode, I hope they at least mention Dongrim and his family and how it all turned out.

Last year's The Devil Judge was an extremely hot BL romance between the leads, buried under a police female officer acting as a huge beard, LOL. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

If you've watched it, you know - Ji Sung totally owns it. And sure, you can call it good bromance, or even go as far as calling it queer-baiting... but in the end, Ji Sung and JinYoung's respective characters spark off each other blindingly. I liked the female leads' characters (SunAh and SooHyun did their best), but there's just no comparison, LOL.

I'd watch Ji Sung leading a romance, (even a straight one, not that he ever acted in any other kind, OFFICIALLY, LOL) in a hot second. In fact, sign me up right now LOL.

I think she always knew, or at least was suspicious, but she fooled herself into rationalising it as pure coincidence.

But she isn't stupid, just strong-willed. When WooShin put it in front of her in the open, she couldn't continue to lie to herself and finally took action.

HyeSoo only helped her remain alive in prison and offered her the opportunity to kill Kwon with her own hands, which she promptly did.

I don't think her rage is spent, though. I wonder if she'll be satisfied with Kwon or find new targets to hunt down for faults real or imagined...

She didn't flip out of nowhere - WooShin made her realise her son's heart ended up transplanted to the chairman when her son VERY probably didn't try to commit suicide after all, and might not even had been brain-dead at the time of the transplant, but just in a coma, with chances of recovery.

And she OFFERED his heart to the chairman herself. Basically she was manipulated into killing her own son by someone else's hands.

She picked his retirement to attack him, and when she was in prison he tried to have her killed. Her flip is seriously well grounded.

HBC's part of the story is related to the laws to arm people HaeSong tried to pass, and the jail murder is also related to that. HBC would have ended up a terrorist attack victim too, if SSH hadn't stopped it. What SeoHee is trying to do now, last-minute, isn't clear yet. I hope there'll be some loop closing in tomorrow's finale.

Team A and the SIH are dumb and dumber, LOL. SIH always act like they're a CIA Black Ops team and the laws are more like (extremely flexible) guidelines :D Good thing Team A aren't any brighter, what with their bosses' personal agendas that take a lot of energy from them just doing their jobs competently :D
