In a way today's case can be seen as a silent protest against the current "lax" law pertaining to child…
It's not really a question of "right to play god". Touching kids is a universal big no. Even hitmen follow that unwritten rule. In prison, convicted kid rapists are often separated because everyone knows the other inmates will find opportunities to kill a kid rapist.
We don't need state laws or religion to tell us that those who crossed this line deserves the death penalty. I'll say that kid rapists ranks 1st to 10th in death penalty priority.
Just no.
Rather, the show is about how people will deal with the situation.
1. The doctor who "saved" the rapist did admit he did something but he still miraculously survived that day. He told her that he knew his condition then and still did what was dangerous for him, he just happened to survived. His choice was to play it safe because after all, Oath.
2. The NFS/autopsy doctors. They know they cannot lie. So what did they do? They gave a hundred times more effort to the autopsy case so they can find reasons to protect the Doctor and prevent any possibility of giving "justice" to the rapist even in death.
3. The prosecutor head. He gave the case to the prosecutor who handled the little girl's case. Why? Because he knew that prosecutor knows what to do. They may not be in agreement all the time but this particular case, they both understood what's at stake.
4. The prosecutor himself. He already have a particular conclusion in mind. But he still need to play it safe. So he did what he can. We can say he used the defense as "second opinion". When the defense came up with an exact brief and conclusion as the NIS, it was a very solid proof.
5. The rapist's family getting a new attorney. The case was assigned to someone who they knew would fail in it.
All of them. Every step of the way. They handled things discreetly. I think that's the point vs the outburst of the Doctor the first time she saw the rapist.
Was the doctor lucky? I agree with the FL, she was not lucky. Everyone simply secretly aligned that the kid rapist doesn't deserve any justice. Everyone's objective was that. The Doctor was just side an after effect. In fact, no one cares if the Doctor was innocent or guilty. The kid rapist crossed the line, the only thing he deserves is to die.
Raping a kid? Sexual harassment of a kid? We don't need religion or state laws to tell us that the suspect deserves to die, right there and then. But at the same time, we shouldn't make an outburst destroying ourselves in the process (which the doctor almost got herself into).
It's not "playing god", it's just the universal truth.
Though everything was already predictable the moment they revealed the way the prosecutor talked, it was still a blast as if you didn't figure out the rest of the episodes's plot.
Why?
There are two things one should never ever cross: (but I'll only mention 1) №1: young children and those with mental conditions; or put it another way, those who have not yet crossed their age of accountability or have dimished mental capacity (and related)
You just simply don't cross the line. If you do, the entire world, even your fellow criminals, will shun you. (That's why he was stabbed, and it's true, criminals will find opportunities to kill anyone in prison who are guilty of touching kids, hence those guilty are usually separated.)
LOL. Even assassins/hit men follow the same unwritten rule: no kids.
You just don't, period.
Hence, it was very touching how everyone worked and contributed in their own little ways to ensure—without resorting to lying and inventing—that the criminal won't get any justice even after his death, and save the doctor.
As far as everyone cared, it didn't matter if the Doctor was innocent or guilty, the criminal in this case must never get justice even in death. So, without resorting to lies, everyone did everything to find ways to achieve a certain outcome.
Like, f***, we don't need religion to tell us that touching kids is an unforgivable sin. If there's a ranking of which sin deserves death penalty, this ranks 1st to 10th.
idk why is everyone so mad ??? I kinda love the drama ?? I mean I only watched the ep 1 but I look good like why…
Giving feedback ≠ mad.
Is it not allowed to state facts like bad fight choreography and editing? They have a good story but the execution so far is not doing the story justice.
The problem is not necessarily that, the problem is the editing, the choreography and the direction
^ That.
Also, they're thousands of years old. They didn't learn how to fight?
And worse, if they are the exact same personification of the 12 animals when they sealed hell. What did they do then? Dance? The demons from hell were dancing so they bested them in a dance competition? 🤣🤣🤣
So, no, it definitely has nothing to do with "if u put 2 people, one who know how to fight and has power and one who don't know how to fight r just know how to punch".
It doesn't matter if they have powers or not. If they are the same personification when hell was sealed, they know how to fight, most especially someone who is the personification of a Dragon, Mir. What kind of dragon zodiac who doesn't see their enemies in front of them until they got punched? 🤪
Why does this remind me of The Eternals? Ma Dong Seok played Gilgamesh in that movie and they made a reference…
Maybe. But the personification of the 12 Chinese zodiacs isn't new by itself. All three CJK, including Vietnames, literatures are filled with such stories.
I think this is just his modern take of the same genre. Yet another interpretation of the 12 Cdinese animal zodiacs in the mortal realm.
0 realism, shouldn't have survived the cliff fall without at least a concussion either, it's one of those dramas…
But again, it's what you call a "trope". In literary writing, screen writing, and other works of fiction, tropes are common and usually employed to achieve something.
In this particular case, romcom, and signature of K-drama writing.
Here's a good example: Star Wars. No one gets killed in a gun fight except the soldiers.
Another example, Star Trek: TOS. In every away mission, when there's a red shirt, it is almost guaranteed they'll die.
Or, in Korea, when they're crossing the road or driving, or they showed a white truck, more likely than not it's the white truck of death.
Falling off a cliff and surviving is just one of those tropes, especially in K-drama land. For the purposes of.the plot, that trope fits perfectly well. If they didn't use that, they'll have to change the entire scene at the cliff or do acrobatics how they got away from the assassin and the soldiers.
That's where falling off a cliff and surviving trope comes into play. They need the cliff scenes. But they also need the two characters to "escape".
I feel like some actors are stuck with high school roles since 5 yrs. I mean High school drama is easier to attract…
Yep! It's the result of not having enough opportunities because of their tradition in using the same actor to play their character's younger version. The new actors have nothing to choose from other than the usual school dramas. Which then results in less experience. Which results in getting casted less and less.
Of course, there are some who, for some unknown reason, only picking school dramas. 😅 By the time they realised they need to expand, they lack experience for other genres and roles expected of them at their career age.
They thould consider theater acting too. Globally, not just in Korea, theater actors always produce the best screen actors. If they're not getting offers, go to theatre. That way they don't get stuck in school dramas. 😁
So many great talents. Directors are waiting for them to improve and prove themselves.
* After the accident, she lost her memory as an actress. * This is why her sister mocked her, "Oh, so are you going to say you lost your memory for the past 25 years?" Because it already happened, she lost her memory and they initially didn't believe her (her sister and father). * Which led to her family hiding her. * Then when she got into another accident, she lost her memories from 2020 to 2025 and recovered her acting years.
Theory 2:
* She did not lost her memory after the 1st accident. She was forced to hide because of that mysterious rich man that she turned down. He hunted her so she hid. * Maybe, she also gave up her money.
Theory 3: * She secretly invested her money to her manager, stylist, and that vlogger b*** turned traitor.
Theory 4: * The rich man she turned down was the one behind both of her accidents. He's obsessed with her, and the only one who knew how to find her. * So, when they found her, they caused the 2nd accident. Only that she survived again. * No matter how much she tries to hide, that rich guy is finding her. * Which would explain what her sister meant by, "You ruined my life". They were threatened by that rich guy too. * And maybe, she had to spend her money with hiding until eventually she ran out so she got stuck in that hotel and working at her niece's school.
Though I agree that the styling and the hair should definitely be better than this, because what do you mean the…
She did not lost her fashion sense, she doesn't have money. She's barely making her job.
As was mentioned by her former stylist in E04, her natural hair is very curly, that they had to frequently straighten it a LOT. That means, doing it by herself won't work in her rented room, and she definitely shouldn't visit hair salons if she's barely making anything.
Much more buy clothes because "fashion".
She is simply being practical and living within her means. She also said in E04 that she doesn't remember where all her money from her career went. That's why she wants to remember the past 25 years.
I would've liked it better if when she woke up and saw herself and her clothes and tried to put herself together…
She needs a hairstylist and do it almost daily. As they her former hairstylist said in E04, her natural hair is very curly, and they used to straighten it a lot just to keep it straight.
On her own, there's not much she can do, especially in her situation where she's barely making money.
It's really cute and lovely whenever they go back to 1999. Someone should compile the 1999 scenes and arrange them chronologically.and upload it somewhere! We need a 1999 drama!
0 realism, shouldn't have survived the cliff fall without at least a concussion either, it's one of those dramas…
Why are you asking for realism when time travel itself isn't real? Also, K-drama land is well-known for: 1. Shallow water bodies turning into an ocean-deep body of water 2. Surviving high falls 3. Male and female characters mysteriously falling or catching each other with all the acrobatics to make them end up that way 4. White truck of doom
😝
K-drama romance and romcom = unrealistic tropes, no matter the time period.
How can she be YEARS AND YEARS in the industry with zero improvement?Im Yoona in that trailer was expressionless…
I dunno, she's doing great and improved from her previous projects too.
I'm not being biased, there was a project where I did find her acting weird, if not subpar, compared to her previous projects at that time.
But not this one. At least as far as a character who can't get her wits around the fact that she was catapulted back in the Josean era. I mean, acting a character like that, so far her delivery were on point.

The fallen angel, "crow" is not counted. Also, their "father" is not counted either, he's just their caretaker.
It needs good execution so it can give justice to the story.
Is it not allowed to state facts like bad fight choreography and editing? They have a good story but the execution so far is not doing the story justice.
That is being "mad" already?
