Unidentifiable

Oh no! I can cope with something having sex scenes (always skippable) but I hate it when it's just there for the shock value. This is rife in English-language dramas which is why I watch kdramas in the first place.

Yep this is my stance too (I'm ace as well). Though the lack of sex in kdramas was what drew me to them in the first place.

I'll still watch it though - it's not hard to skip a few scenes.

Yes good investigation/thrillers have been so few this year

At this point, I suspect the psychiatrist and the police chief.

The reason they are so incompetent is the police chief (who led the investigation back then) was clearly involved in the murder somehow and is hiding something. So they weren't trying to find the culprit; they wanted a scapegoat.

The new detective has immense prejudice towards murderers (flashbacks indicate his fiancé died violently, probably murdered) but he's going to start realising that things are not right with this case and need to confront his prejudice. He's already starting to in ep 4. There's a lot of room for his character to grow.

I usually hate falsely-accused stories, because the injustice in unbearable. But what I'm liking about this one is that the case was 10 years ago, so it's an old grief. The ML has born this blame for so long that the hot anger has sputtered out. He now just wants the truth no matter the consequences. Kudos to the actor doing such a good job.

This will just make the pay off so much better once our outsiders (the med student and detective) realise that he is in fact innocent.

Is there anywhere legal to watch this in Australia yet?

I really want to love this but the FL's voice is so hard to listen to.

First 5 minutes are excellent. I usually dislike narrated exposition but it was so tongue in cheek about it all I loved it.

I haven't seen/heard of that drama, but I'm guessing it's one that has a high budget.

No I just usually avoid dramas that have lots of cgi, so it's incredibly jarring to see it done so badly.

Agreed, but I disagree about the CGI. It's really bad. (but tolerable because everything else is good so far)

Oops they're a little bit too good at communication

Yeah I don't like her lipstick.

first 10 minutes: I love how brutally practical the FL is! So refreshing. Hilarious too haha.
I bet this practicality vs sentimentality (love) is going to be an ongoing theme.

I'm a native English speaker and I didn't hear a problem, it was all fairly understandable, but also I'm not American so I couldn't hear if anything was off. It was just as mildly challenging to understand for me as the usual American accents.

they were passable for a kdrama tbh. I have heard so much worse. I understood every word but had to concentrate.

The FL didn't sound like she'd lived in the us for 10 years but that's an unreasonable expectation anyway.

The childhood friends are often the main leads in a Kdrama. They like to make the "first love" always win too.

I see. Thanks for answering.

I watch few cdramas, but when I do decide to give them a try, I always find myself rewatching the same ones haha. There are things I don't like about this drama, but there are also things I absolutely love. I keep coming back.

Is there anywhere (legal) to watch this? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Her mother being a concubine has nothing to do with palace politics. The plotting is mostly surviving her super annoying half siblings and her father's other concubine. And later, her in-laws(This is quite a large part of the story, but it is all family drama, and once again, not palace politics)

It is the most SOL drama I've encountered, but they are still wealthy, so I understand it's not what you want. I watched it for the sets and costumes mostly though (exquisite even by cdrama standards) haha, and the way the scenes are filmed are almost like a stage play.
