It bothers me that Seong Shik did not gave Gwang Ho a crash course on the future, especially important as a detective - like DNA technology, phone technology, etc.
Now I understand why this show rated so high. I did enjoy watching it, it was a breeze. The storytelling and direction of the show was well done and well written. I was initially put off with olden day time, but I'm glad there was none of those overly acted, it was well reasonably, well-understood and appreciated and relatable even in modern times. I'm probably one of the minorities but I'm so glad the focus was the characters in the modern times and they used the 1930s as a backdrop. At first I thought it will be mostly murder mystery or trying to figure out the past. or it will be a cliche fighting against an evil protagonist, but I was wrong - it was about friendship and romance. Kudos.
I always hate shows with 'olden days/period', but surprisingly, I am enjoying this series. I'm 7 episodes in. It was a good watch, each episode surprisingly goes very fast by.
True I agree! But I believe that writers still has the most to do plus I recognised a pattern/style in the writers…
One reason why I refrained from watching One Spring Night. I enjoyed Jung Hae-In. But I just can't see him re-enacting the same character in a different show.

Exactly what I was thinking.
I feel like that's how mostly the movie or TV industry work. You have a big group of script writers who are unrecognized, who does most of the work and hand this in to a head scriptwriter (who has an established name). In fact, if you watch series very carefully, there are slight shift in characters and narration all throughout the series because there are a lot of people working on a script, sometimes I do even think they are broken to different groups for story arcs. So I think the credit should be more than just the headwriter, and more importantly, not her or his own style - but it's a group work.
Also - scripts tend to be formulaic, and usually coming from the 'orders from above' (TV/movie execs). Once a writer (or even a director) established a storytelling that's a hit, they just reuse the same trope and formula for success. Just look at Park Ji Eun's My Love from the Star and Legend of the Blue Sea - they are pretty much the same script.

Im watching Chicago Typewriter now lol. I was also wondering how many of these writers are genuinely writing their own script, and not have like a team of ghostwriters who write for him/her and he/she just revise them.
In some aspect, directors have a much more power or leverage in the final output of the show, because ultimately, what we see on screen is actually what the director envisioned not the writers.
This is just my opinion. A product like movie or a series cannot really broken down into a specific department, it's a group work/dynamic and many times, a draft written by writers don't really exactly come into fruition as imagined.
Dialogues can change - with some actors doing adlibs. Direction of the show can change - because of directors. Writer's vision of a scene can change because of constraints in budget, CGI, wardrobes, locations, etc.
I agree though that there could be some formula behind the show, but I also think that is also influence by outside factors like head honcho of film or TV.
It was not a bad series. The characters are not overtly annoying like other shows I watched. It was actually a pleasant series to watch. Some of the character decision and actions are questionable but ultimately, they were redeemed. It was nothing extraordinary. The guy who played Chan Young is handsome, so an eye candy in the show helps lol.
I feel like this series can potentially have a season 2
It can revolve around another new victim - remember there are other people in that chatroom and there are videos out there. Mew and Fai could potentially try to get those people.
It was horrible. Did they just forget everything that happened between Tin and Can in S1? I'm so confused. And the whole emo with Ae makes me wanna puke. Everybody knows now why, and he should have just yanked out of the show coz there's really no point.
I feel like it's quite average. Nothing stands out really but then again, I don't really get average person's taste esp I'm not from Thailand. I guess if 'Oh my Ghost' have so many sequels, Thai kinda like this kind of brand of humor.
So great. Once you started, you just glued to it and want to finish it.
Jung Hae In is such a great actor. His portrayal is captivating and made you feel the character is almost a real human. I enjoyed every episode. Such a shame, it was short, it could have run longer but feels like if it did run longer, it will have many filler episodes.
I like the fact that the show is so dark yet it has a humor on it and not even the annoying or insulting humor, but a humor/banter happens in real life between buddies.
I recently watched DP and that is great, I love Jung Hae In there.

But please tell me that this will be a horror project. I want Jung Hae In to be in a lot more different genre.
