If any one watches the last episode please give me spoilers on what will happe to the shithead "friend"…
He testifies against Cha Min Ho and also gets prosecuted for his own crimes in the cover-up. ....He gave him the Nemo fish and also the pen with the recorded Cha Min Ho conversation. He loses his job as a prosecutor too.
He's in jail and tells Park Jeong Woo to never forgive him and Jeong Woo says that he'll wait for him.
I haven't watched this drama but I would disagree with you saying that "Making a woman commit suicide…
I've seen the first 5 episodes, so I understand the initial backstory that @Charming92 is referring to, but I think I would still agree with you. Relationships are complex and breakups (or rejection/humiliation because of one) is a particularly stressful event that can definitely be a contributing factor to a crack in one's mental health, regardless of what year it is.
In much of the world, women definitely have more options, opportunities, and overall freedoms than in years past, so I definitely understand @Charming92's off-putting feelings about the this character's reasons for committing suicide. But humans in general don't process things logically after they experience what they perceive to be traumatic, life-changing events. That's why break-ups are often times considered a giant risk-factor for suicidality. It might not be what we would culturally consider to be a 'good' reason, but it is unfortunately a realistic one.
I still remained puzzled as to why people like it so dang much. I agree with every single one of your points. In the end it was just 'alright' for me.
I thought they really botched the male lead's story--he could have been given much better material to work with (and there were a few scenes toward the end that I liked), but I ended up just being completely disappointed over how quickly they resolved everything with seemingly no effort.
Something to keep in mind (in regards to the drinking thing) is that it is a pattern for this director. His other work: Marriage, Not Dating was EXACTLY the same with how they approached their lead using alcohol for the plot. I mean, most dramas deal with this trope, but definitely not to the extent that Marriage, Not Dating and Another Miss Oh did. I tend to just think it a quirk of this director and how he portrays his female characters. In his next work, it'll probably be the same.
can someone tell me why was he seeing those visions? (and mark it as spoiler)
It's a near-death experience he has where his entire life flashes before him; his love for her is so powerful, that he started seeing her before he even met her. But he has regrets over certain choices he made in not giving her the love she deserved and retreating into his proud nature. The visions are an opportunity for him to change his actions and possibly his fate.
I'm hesitant to watch this because I'm not a romance fan but this is listed under psychological which is a genre…
Even though you're not the hugest fan of romance, I still think this drama is worth your time.
The characters are all extremely well written--they have backstories that give credence to how they act in the present. They seem very realistic and you honestly understand why they do the things they do. Even the secondary characters are relatable and likable in many different ways.
I really like how the drama uses flashbacks to give you more of a backstory on how some of these characters grew up and how the characters reflect on that in the present--how their childhood contributed to the adult they are now in the present.
It has this unique quality to it as well where you just feel like you're watching something really special. It can tug on your heartstrings and then make you laugh the next second.
M'kay, rating a drama a 1 on the same day the first episode comes out.....is just weird to me. I mean, what have you seen in ONE episode that would justify that rating? Why are you even rating after just one episode?
Is it just because you want to jump on the bandwagon early before you believe the drama will be over-hyped? Or something like that?
I actually don't know if I want to watch this, as the more I thought about it, the more I realised it's far too…
Ehh, it's not painful. Just a little cringe-worthy. :P
It's a concept I wish was executed with better actors--acting ALWAYS enhances the story and if it's bad...it can make a drama be quite a bit less pleasant to watch. Whereas if it impresses you, it can shoot up to the top of your favorites list even if the writing isn't all the way there.
So even though this has bad acting, even though it has over-the-top cheesiness...I still recommend other people watch it because the meta moments impressed me quite a bit.
But nothing else impressed me. So clarifying under which conditions someone should watch this (probably all in one-take), and how to approach it (ie like you said, not taking it seriously) are important for me to emphasize.

I understand that this is going to be over-hyped regardless of the quality, but still...it's Ji Hyeon, how can I not be excited?!
