It was so startlingly bad that I was distracted by it right away and I generally don't even notice these things. It probably leapt out at me because it came so quickly after the scene with her hair down and at shoulder length. What was even the point of it?

I think your point about CIPA is likely why they raised the issue in an episode dealing with the CIPA patient.

By this logic, there should be no male obstetricians or gynecologists.

A man who blackmailed a woman into deceiving his grandfather has his tighty whiteys in a self righteous knot because she is decieving him. What an asshole.

Dropped at E5.

I've watched through episode 3 and I'm having a hard time picking up the next episode because I am positive this is a drama that's going to break my heart and I don't know if I'm willing to go through that with these characters yet. Especially since I think Ryu Eun Jung should have slammed Cheon Sang Yeon into a dumpster decades earlier and left her there.

10/10
The Trunk is a character driven drama wrapped around a murder investigation with a cast that nails the assignment. I can't say enough about how perfect everyone was for the roles in which they were cast. The five main characters were layered and complex - and all damaged in some manner they had to either resolve or resolve to live with. IMO at least two had serious personality disorders that added unpredictability to the story line.

This isn't an action flick: adrenalin junkies will not be happy with The Trunk. But if you are fascinated with characters unraveling, discovering facets of themselves they never knew or trusted, and remaking themselves from the pieces you'll be riveted to this.

Big bonus: even the most minor characters are sharply drawn and I would happily watch a spin off to learn more of their stories.

Unresolved: What was in that second trunk?

Am I the only one thinking Jung I Sin was essentially providing a public service?

Probably should note this is a spoiler

E1, that smirk. Chill cascaded from head to toe. Would NOT want to be trapped in a room with that woman.

The episode segments are fairly short, since it's only a 45 minute show.

Yes

Victor Chatchawit Techarukpong must be the designated 🫏 of Thai drama. He does it very well.

Down, girls! Down!

He was in Queen of Tears and did an incredible job with his character.

I would have liked them to leave it with Choi Do Ha realizing his fate was sealed, and letting him live with that knowledge as he perished slowly and painfully. Or at least let him choke on his own blood a little longer. I know I'm bloodthirsty, but he was so awful it felt like he got off too easy at the end.

I don't know how I felt about Ju Hui at the end but Ok Ja Yeon did an outstanding job with her character.

I dropped Vagabond on the first or second episode because the writing was so asinine and sexist (even by Korean standards) that not even a great cast could save it. For all its flaws, Big Mouth is vastly better in all aspects.

There is a small, but vocal, group of people on this site who entertain themselves and each other by recreationally disparaging talented actresses. Yoon A is one of their favorite targets, presumably because of her popularity and public acclaim. It really doesn't have anything to do with her acting ability. Pay them no mind. The only credibility they have is with each other.

Jung Se Ok is deliciously insane. I'm really enjoying this drama.

Update: riveting from start to finish. Award worthy performance from Park Eun Bin. It's not easy to play a psychopath you want to root for.

Hyper Knife is a study in complementary psychopathology. Two brilliant, talented, dedicated, probably narcissistic, probably neurodivergent surgeons battle themselves and each other, laying bare their mesmerizing amorality and insanity. I couldn't take my eyes off of it.

I would have liked a little less emotional flagellation on the beach and more resolution at the end. I think a two year separation deserved a little more attention than it got.

I liked the "who will show up?" tension. But the next time jump was whiplashy.

More GLs ought take time to savor the moment. Denied Love, Harmony Secret, and Affair also seemed rushed at the end. On the other hand, Us, TSoU, GAP, Blank, TLP, MMDIY all gave us a little breathing room.
