Yeah, I rarely get this emotional, but it made me tear up too.

"If you can just tell someone that they need a light to go back, why didn't the shop owner tell them, why didn't their dead loved ones just tell them?"
It's about the will. The shop owner didn't have the strong will to save them as they were strangers to him. The bus driver felt an extreme guilt and wanted to fix his mistake as much as possible by sending them back - that was his strong will. But firstly he was lost too wandering in the real world, he probably needed that little push/instruction from the nurse to realize what he can do. Also some were trying to tell it from the start, the dog was barking, the mother was breaking bulbs to send her daughter to the shop etc. but the other side had to realize and accept (or not fully) this will too.

Wow, I'd love to see Son Jinwook on this one!!!
He has stolen so many songs already that it's hard to count (but he might steal the show... :D).

This story is finished, there's no cliffhanger, so you can watch it without worry. The ending is just an opening for a possible next season with a new story.

Yeah, seconding you!!! I loved the different approach to the whole story, I enjoyed both a lot. And now seeing both connecting at the end made me really exited for the possible continuation.
But there are already many comments about it.

Looks like another generic fantasy-romance... no high expectations, but might be nice time killer, depending on execution.

If you're writing a spoiler then mark the comment as a spoiler.

I think a happy ending is guaranteed in this one...

As for contemporary: Goblin, A Korean Odyssey, Tale of the Nine-Tailed
Pure fantasy: Alchemy of Souls, Gu Family Book
Doom at Your Service was rather mediocre for me.

I just watched first 12 eps...
I feel like I watched this story a hundred times already in different versions. All standard tropes of a contemporary-fantasy romance k-drama are here, in perfect predictable order... Yet it's still so entertaining to watch :) It's like a cover of a good song you already know so well, but singed by a new great artist still sounds refreshing. Song Kang is such a charming demon :D

I'm not either of those. I quite like this drama so far, but I doubt it will turn out as anything amazing, I certainly can see it's flaws. Just a nice time killer. I'm watching mainly for Jihoon, as I like him both, as an actor and a singer.

I have very similar experience, with the difference that I didn't watch Boys Planet.

I fully agree it was totally disgusting and rude. But I will still vote and watch performances on YT, because groups competing in the show are not at fault here, discarding them all because of producer's misbehavior is unjust as well.

Yeah, that's what I hate about this whole k-pop industry the most, idols have to be practically 'saint' as you said (but this excessive interest in their private lives is actually what Korean fans started, the industry just picked it up). So JTBC is playing safe, and any other producer would probably do the same, because sadly that's how things works with this idols industry :(
But actually DGNA already gained a lot from the show, they have many new fans, a lot of recognition of their talents, experience and even a new song. I hope it will be enough for them to start over again even without this JTBC concert tour (they would probably not get the main prize anyway), even if not as typical idol boy band, then at least as a vocal group. You don't have to be an idol to be a successful artist even in Korea.

Not sure what you're implying. JTBC wouldn't record and broadcast anything without participants consent. First watch then judge.

I agree, not all idol groups have to be all-rounders and be able to kill every concept. I feel bad especially for 14:00, I had really high expectations of them in this round, but this song clearly didn't fit their usual, more dynamic style.

You can find full performances on YT, I always prefer watching those first, especially full cam versions.

I created a Naver account and it works fine.

No wonder you didn't recognize them, because they are totally new members, none of the original ones is left, from 5 years ago it's only one it seems. There's huge rotation in this group.

After some thinking I made a conclusion that it might be better (maybe even intentional?) that songs are quite average, After all groups have to win with their skills not the song itself, they would have it to easy with catchy songs.
