Funnily enough, i didn't dislike the CGI in hellbound. I thought it kind of fit the atmosphere of the show

I honestly find nothing wrong with the way you critic the episodes. The problem here is that most of the people watching the show are fans of the female lead and dont realize that the comment sections in MDL of almost all dramas are the same. One of my favourite dramas of all time gets regularly bashed on a daily basis and i don't mind it. One of my least favourite shows has people singing praises all the time. I still don't mind. Most (not all) people that find your reviews offensive are probably people that recently made their accounts because of this drama and dont realize that this is a normal thing on MDL.

"I don't give a **** about what happened in korea in 1987".....
You do realize this is a korean show....about koreans....about what happened in korea in 1987.....made for the korean audience to watch? Like literally the korean audience comes first? Im not saying anything about whether the show should be cancelled or not, what im saying is you are horrible for writing such things when you are watching a korean show in the first place. How would you like it if a show in your country is being protested against and an outsider comes in to say they don't give a damn and just want to watch it?

So basically liar game 2.0

As someone who disliked black as well, i think the problem was the ending. The ending completely destroyed the drama. That and the forced humour and romance. If the drama had removed these and stuck with the dark themes i would have loved it because i really did like the core mystery. Also i actually liked the original grim reaper a little more than when he became SSH. He just had that edgy look fit for the character

I dont really read fanfics anymore (used to read them 8-9 years ago) so i wouldn't know :P

I dont know, ive watched almost all interviews and press conferences and i never heard lee jin wook say something about wanting his character to die. In fact in one interview when asked about the series he said he would want to continue acting in it (this interview was when voice 3 was airing i believe). It's likely that the writer told him his character would end and he discussed how they would shoot the scene. I could have missed something though so if you have the link to the interview where he said he knew how voice 3 would end can you send it to me?

Train and ghost detective are two dramas
1) Train
2) Ghost Detective

Also i recommend the shows train and ghost detective for similar chemistry between leads. Both end well too

I dont think it was his decision. From the interviews of the writer, it seems to be like it was the makers who decided it. But i have never seen a director or writer apologise for a show's ending. But for voice 3, the director had to apologise because of the reaction. Just shows how it impacted everyone. Continuing to disregard the feelings of the fans won't help them. Ratings speak for themselves. Season 4 could not surpass the first 3 seasons despite them airing on a smaller channel (OCN)

Also i doubt lee jin wook would ever turn down voice. He's friends with lee hana and has been for many years. I believe it is one of his most successful shows and he did mention that he would love to keep acting in it (this was before season 3 ended though)

Remember that scene in season 3 when kang centre tells do kang woo about how she got her hearing loss? How t he car accident gave her enhanced hearing? It was so strange how she mentioned that and then do kang woo gets shot in the head. Its very much possible that it could have hit the area where the problem was in the first place.
Apparently the writer said that do kang woo was always meant to die. But the his statement after season 4 contradicts this. The fact that a grave scene was deleted from the script means that they make have thought about changing things. Many people assume that the scene was deleted because of time constraints but if that were true then they could have added it in season 4.
However if this truly is the end for team leader do, this is where i must part ways with the series. I tried to watch season 4. I tried to give it a chance but do kang woo's death is too fresh and derek cho is too bland (it's not necessarily SSH at fault here. Jang hyuk and lee jin wook were just made for the series). If they dont bring back do kang woo next season, I'll just pretend s3 was the last one and leave it at that. I cant watch something that gives me pain. And plus its not like his death was logical in the first place. Why give us the hope of a cure if he were to die? Why show everyone finally rallying behind him and trusting him then ending it all? Why keep bang je soo alive if do kang woo was to die? The makers cant be that insensitive. And why kill him in the first place? Even if they wanted a new lead, they could have simply ended season 3 like season 2 with do kang woo leaving for America for treatment. It was just unnecessarily cruel. So either he's brought back, or i part ways with the show.

But why is everyone calling it a bittersweet ending?

Can someone please let me know what the ending is like? Ive been waiting for the show to end so that i can binge watch it, but i hate tragic endings. Does someone from the 4 main leads die? Obviously i don't mind spoilers

I feel like jisoo fans are trying to make this all about her and the hate against her when thats not even it. They keep forgetting that this is not twitter, this isnt a blackpink concert, this isnt a bunch of antis attacking their fave. This is about a legitimate concern many have regarding distortion of history. Jisoo being in this drama does not have anything to do with it.

You have given hope to alot of people here :) this is also something i have been telling people (since i am doctor myself)
Also i think lee jin wook was supposed to be in season 4 but maybe there were scheduling conflicts?

Yeah i sympathise with the korean viewers. I know if a drama distorted my country's history, people would have reacted the same way. But at the same time i think people should at least let a few episodes air rather than asking for it to be shut down immediately. Because in that way if in future it's revealed that the show is not going to distort history everyone will be appeased, but if it does distort then no one, not even hard core fans would be able to argue against it. So maybe wait for 5 or 6 episodes to air. Because if this shuts down prematurely we'll have fans saying that everyone had an agenda with the actual problem being buried.

Why are you losing it over every person saying something about jisoo that you don't like? This isn't twitter, this is mdl. You are going to have to deal with people critically analysing the cast. Go check out the comments under every drama, everyone leaves comments regarding the cast and the acting. But because jisoo is in the drama, blinks are going to make this a toxic place as well. Be nice to people. This isnt a Blackpink concert that fans are watching, this is a drama with many other actors. Also the OP never said something wrong or offensive, i dont understand why you blew up. They said that the drama had a famous writer-director duo and an ensemble cast so even if jisoo wasnt the main lead, it would have still been hyped up and that's true. Why take offense?

Im surprised this is getting spinoffs but no news regarding season 3 :/ are they trying to build up anticipation for it by giving us crumbs in the form of spinoffs?

No updates yet? I was so excited when i first heard about this but i guess this is going to be a project that is forgotten....sad considering how big of a hit the show was
