This was a tribute to the original show and actors.* Detective/Inspector Park was played by Choi Bool Am in the…
I hope they release a sequel.
They can do it multiple ways: 1. Another prequel set before the original “Chief Detective 1971”. 2. Remake the 1971 original. 3. A sequel of 1971, set sometime later. 4. A modern 2023/2024 version. Continue the story line of the present time. This time, focusing on Park's descendants, and telling us the other case stories through his grandson.
If they'll choose to do a 2023/2024 version next, then those past case stories can become the 3rd sequel/prequel. For example, it will tell the story of Park's son. Was he a detective as well? How much did he adore his father, the cow-thief detective? What were his achievements?
Doing that way will fill in the gap as to how original Park's grandson became a detective, which is his father (or son of original Park).
There are plenty of ways they can go about this. And I hope they will.
This was a tribute to the original show and actors.
* Detective/Inspector Park was played by Choi Bool Am in the original and the 2023/older version. * Detective Kim played by Kim Sang Soon in the original passed away in 2015. * Detective Jo played by Jo Kyung Hwan passed away in 2012. * Detective Nam played by Nam Sung Hoon passed away in 2002.
Special mention: * Actors Lee Kye In and Song Kyung Chul, were also in the original. They appeared in the last episode of this show.
why are people surprised by the number of episodes? lol did yall not see that it was a weekly drama that aired…
Because they are late Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They are too young. Also, they only know modern K-drama, they probably don't even watch their own local shows, or any Western and Latin American shows, where there are multiple seasons (or 1 season that never ends). Probably they don't even watch anime. Then again, anime shows are short these days as well.
But it is understandable because they the prizes at stake are expensive. It probably was hard to convince their finance to get buy those prizes. We're assuming they bought it since it is SOP to only mention the brand if it was sponsored.
So, in the end, even though it feels so sad, and sometimes annoying that they are very strict, that's the one it should be.
That said, the survival of this show is going to be 50-50. In some cases, instead of bringing happiness, it became sad.
Here are my suggestions: 1. The hosts should explain that the prizes are only a bonus. So whatever happens, it's just a bonus. The focus is about bringing them happiness during their break time. 2. They should include those scenes in each visit, as it will help the audience to set proper expectations as well.
A good example of that was the Colonel. He understood that it the prizes were only a bonus.
Currently, from E01 to E04, the editing made it appear that happiness is through the prizes, and without it, it is all sad, and a failure.
They need to reframe each visit.
No visit is a failure, because it is not about the prizes, it is about the happiness the celebrities brought with them. It is about the interaction of celebrities with ordinary people. The prizes are simply bonuses, nothing more, nothing less.
By reframing it (which includes the editing of scenes), it sets the proper expectation for the ordinary people they visit, as well as the audience watching. It also justifies the super strictness of the production team.
Well, since they're done filming… it's too late. But, if they plan on making S02, I hope they get to read this feedback so they can make the show even better.
LOL. They can even add a wildcard, the people they visit can use some wildcard option. But on that one, I leave it to them to think. (If they'll pay me for ideas, then I'll share some. Hahahaha.)
Gahhh seriously, why translate 'kimchi' as 'cheese'?!? Shout out to Netflix translators: People are not idiots!
Probably a newbie translator. S/he still doesn't know when to translate because it's culturally understandable to do so, and when not to because it's well-known already (or at least easily understood).
Or, maybe, their manager is the one who doesn't understand. Hahahaha.
he thinks they live in a different century i swear. you can’t just propose to someone & get rejected then try…
He also did a “promise me first before I tell you”. /facepalm. That's a sign that he is up to no good, and that is also the sign that he knows there's a high chance she will say “no”.
He should get a psychiatrist, LOL. He needs help like Na Young.
This week's theme is very interesting (E36 to E40).
* Suji is still down. * More issues related to Suji's adopted family. * Moving closer with her biological mother. * Moving closer with Uri.
Maybe next week's theme is Suji's recovery? Or, the return of Na Young? LOL. Maybe HS's father and Na Young will join forces? If Na Young reveals her relationship with Suji to HS's father, that alone will make HS's father go ballistic.
I've completely forgotten that HS's father was the doctor who saved Suji's mother.
HS's father is totally against Suji. - It is understandable from a business perspective. That is not the issue. - The issue is, as a father, he should keep an open mind.
Once the relationship of Suji with her biological mother is revealed: 1. I can't wait to see HS's father's face. 2. I can't wait how Suji's biological mother will react in relation to HS's father, the doctor who brought her back to life. 3. Every effort of HS will go into a blackhole in an instant. Unless he's really an arse and will tell Suji's mother, “Mother, my father saved your life so please approve us.” As we say in Filipino, “kapalmuks” (thick-face), or “walang hiya” (shameless). 4. HS's mother will probably divorce HS's father because of it. 5. HS's father will probably blame Suji even more. “She is the reason our family broke! She bewitched my son!”
Currently, he is not actually changing anything in the past.In real life, the most accepted theory of time travel…
True that. Leaving clues here and there.
I think it has become a trope in K-drama lang recently, leave clues but only reveal it in the end. I guess they don't like it when audiences can figure out their thought process early. Hahahhaa. (I mean, a few years ago, it was easy to follow the thought process of the writers, and figure out the rest of the story, but the past few months… they're almost always surprising us how wrong our theories are.)

Or, did she choose to only have TV shows and support roles? There are actors who prefer it that way for many reasons.
She's good and she has the facial expressions who can fit in a main role as well as a movie.
a. Sujung + Euiju
b. Sujung + Ujin
c. Hyera + Euiju

How about Na Young? Na Young who?
Hahahaha.
