I may have the unpopular opinion, but I couldn't seem to like this drama. The concept is interesting, but the execution failed to draw me in and the biggest issue I had was that the female lead was (in my opinion) irritating. For someone supposedly so smart, she didn't act like it on many occasions. Each to their own, I guess.
I'm loving this so much, I'm even watching episodes days before the subtitles come out, despite having little knowledge of Korean. It's interesting to guess the topic off of visual cues, key words and phrases. Ironically, I'm garnering a good understanding of the story with this, it's just so absorbing and easy to follow.
He killed the victim five years ago but was acquitted, so he can't be prosecuted for the same crime again. This…
There is, when the detective talks to the other detective using glasses of alcohol as an example, and then he goes with another detective and sneaks photographs of the sheet documenting the interviewed suspects. He deduces that the most recent murder (of Kim Sun-Hee) could have been imitating the the cold case from 10 years ago, not the one 5 years ago, even done by the same culprit who they didn't catch.
Here's some interesting details that may or may not be relevant, this case occured 10 years ago, around the same time Choi Do Hyun's father was convicted of a different murder, and they were both related to the military. The detective also notices that the investigation was carried out sloppily, as no one interviewed one suspect, a soldier whose only alibi was a piece of paper. Were there higher-ups interfering? But why would they protect a mere soldier? He asks.
I've finally decided to catch up on a lot of the crime and tragedies I haven't seen, and this is proving to be a good balance. I don't get tense or anxious whilst I watch it, but it's good enough that I don't feel the urge to skip anything (unusual for me, for this genre). Currently halfway through, and the maturity shown by the female lead is refreshing - she decided to humble herself to progress, and it's not an easy decision to make - for once, here's a heroine who can do things.
My butt gets numb when I sit in my computer chair after hours of binge watching. But my chair is old and needs…
Do you keep the room well lit? Have you tried using flux? It reduces the blue light in the evening. Some people find it intrusive, but I don't mind it on the lowest setting.
I've had CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) for five years and with regards to mental health, drama has been very much a lifesaver. This may sound a little odd, but there are many days in which I'm not capable of doing much other than marathon things. The points you raised are very good. The two that really jump out at me are dehydration and back problems.
The first issue I find easily dealt with. I'm sure many people would agree, regardless of whether you're allergic to chlorine like I am or not, but tap water tastes disgusting. It's not especially pleasant to drink, and more like something only consumed when absolutely necessary. Filtered water is almost sweet in its niceness. The best way to deal with this would be to invest in a water filter - either a jug or something directly installed, or, as a temporary solution I used to buy bottled water (yes, it's wasteful, but I have allergies). Then, to have a bottle and glass next to you at all times. With this, I easily consume 1.5 - 2 litres a day. If you're often busy and not a stationary person, maybe place it somewhere you frequent.
The second issue, back problems, are less easily dealt with. Without seeking professional assistance or a complete lifestyle overhaul, which, frankly, only the bravest are likely to commit to, I've found that there's not much else that will make this problem go away. However, have you ever heard of a posture pole? They are great, but expensive. The cheap solution is to firmly role up a towel and lie on it length-ways along your upper back, neck and head (a cushion under the lower back for comfort) and it does wonders! Whilst this is no permanent solution, I use my posture pole 20-40 mins a day and am no longer in pain.
The rest of the points, well, I deal with by eating good food and regularly seeing a competent doctor. If you read all this, I commend you!
Idk if I want to start this because everyone seems to like the chemistry between the leads but the synopsis makes…
It's really relaxing and refreshing. Things develop deceivingly fast, and it sets up cliches only to break them. It's honestly one of my favourites this year and so easy to watch. Definitely something that needs to be given a chance before you make up your mind.
