So weird to see Jeon Hye-jin in this movie.

Any English subs available?

Thanks, if it's on there, that probably means the soft subs are also probably available somewhere, and saw that they're now on open subtitles.

Yeah, that part makes sense. But I was just thinking in general if this had been happening in my US high school, and students were getting beaten almost to death with broken bones and hospitalization on a weekly basis, there would be some kind of investigation with cops involved, and you wouldn't see the participants in class the next day.

That poster is ridiculously misleading. There should be a very strong warning on this movie.

So did I miss something or did not a single person die in this show? Every character is like the Terminator. They get beaten to a pulp over and over but they keep coming back. And what even is the point of having Soo-ho still be alive at the end after he stopped breathing for hours? The story would be no different if he had died, except that it would have been much more realistic and less manipulative in exchange for maybe limiting their sequel options. Also, how come no one goes to jail? And you only get kicked out of school if you go crazy with a fire extinguisher like the guy in Irreversible.

Looking for soft English subtitles

So what happened to the BJ sister? I'm assuming that the brother was watching old videos of her.

Are soft subs available yet?

Liked it a lot more the second time. Miporin was great, and so was Sakai Miki.

I kept looking for Yeo Jin-goo but couldn't find him. Maybe he was one of the seven dwarves who never took off his headpiece. JK

Did I miss the scene where they mentioned how they resolved the problem with Yun-seok's dad at the end? Or did they not even bother to tie up that loose end? Hopefully he died of a heart attack or was hit by a bus or something.

If it weren't for everything that happened after they confessed their love for each other, I would have rated this movie 2 additional stars. Also, Se-ri's wavy hair looked very cute and made her stand out from the other girls.

I don't understand the ending. Why wasn't Hyun-ji in the village? The ending seems to imply that Hyun-ji is at a different village. But wouldn't Hyun-ji have disappeared because her body was found? And why would that girl, who's a ghost, be able to interact with Wook and Jang when they can no longer see ghosts?

These are just a few of the sloppy, poorly thought-out plot points that really detracted from my experience and made me enjoy this much less than most.

My takeaway from this drama is that Eun-jung is a pushover. Also, there were parts that were very well-crafted and realistic, but then there were other parts, like all these ridiculous coincidences where everyone is connected to each other, that were cheesy. And they went too far with the tear-jerking in the last couple of episodes. It just made me cringe because I wasn't feeling it, since I didn't believe that one of the characters deserved anyone's sympathy. She just remained a selfish psychopath to the very end.

Despite all this, there was some great material here. I think if you went through all the footage and re-edited it into a 2-hour movie, cutting away all the nonsense and hard-to-believe stuff, you could have a really excellent and emotionally mature product.

I don't understand why they included this Yaba character at all. They could have saved Maiguma's acting fee and used it to pay someone to rewrite the script.

My favorite part was when the Queen of Hearts was giving various alternate explanations about what was going on, involving far future virtual reality games, aliens, androids, etc. I thought that all of those ideas were way more interesting than what the real explanation turned out to be.

Also, I'm going to pretend that season 3 never happened.

The message of this show seems to be that bending the rules because you're greedy or sadistic is bad, but bending the rules to punish bad people is good. I thought the law was supposed to be the process to fairly adjudicate these conflicts, since individual decisions can be imperfect and biased?

Also, do the biggest and most prestigious law firms in Korea handle personal injury and family law and criminal defense cases as well as corporate law? Because US law firms certainly don't mix such drastically different law practices. It would be absurd for an attorney who charges thousands of dollars an hour to handle such small-time personal cases. But of course, for dramatic purposes, the setting has to be some big, prestigious law firm in a fancy high-rise, but if they showed the typical corporate legal work that's done in such settings, viewers would fall asleep. So they have to show the melodramatic personal cases that everyone can relate to, even though these are typical handled by attorneys who advertise on billboards and work out of small offices in low-rise commercial buildings and strip malls.

I don't know why I have this craving to try Kopiko candy.

I dropped this in the middle of episode 6. The directing and editing were kind of clumsy and off, like the creative staff weren't working at the highest levels. And the ML character was dull and failed to capture my interest. Same with the main mystery plot, which in my opinion has way too many people and moving parts involved. I just didn't really care. The only thing that kept me going to the halfway point of the series is Ryeo-won's charisma and acting. She's the only reason to watch this.

I was familiar with Han Ji-min from her later dramas before I watched this, and I was blown away at how beautiful she was at such a young age. And her acting was riveting, with her intense love and suffering. I've seen her in almost 10 dramas, but this is still by far my favorite role of hers and the one that defines her for me.
