this will be my thoughts thread.... randomness guaranteed

forgiveness is nice and dandy.... however, I wish that he said something like "I'll forgive you, but I can't trust you anymore"

I know it is nothing new...but school corruption is really annoying

The self sacrificing is strong with this one ...which is kinda ironic because they are supposedly activists

Might be for the best hahaha. I also wonder if it's played for laughs. I mean it would totally work in an Anime adaptaion. But here as live action it's giving lowkey pushy stalker

I know it's not supposed to be taken seriously... however, the fact that they make Ryoma to be this very accomplished and skilled lawyer but he just overlooks the theft, traspassing and blackmail that is happening to him. That is baffling.

The Ace self-evaluation was odd. I know taste is subjective but personally I was so not impressed with The CrewOne's Ace performance. It was following 2 very distinct and impressive performances and I saw nothing extraordinary compared to those two. Also I have some pet peeve with unintentional/unseless props. That whole lotus flower setup was just there to be there and did nothing to elevate the performance. Same with the hourglass that was pulled out for the last second. Maybe someone can explain to me what I was missing

Edit: I know the hourglass reoccurred later on but I Ace performance is a standalone thing and not the opening act.

That was a very wise choice👍
I feel like in the grand scheme of the show....this episode as a whole is skippable.

This episode was a big fat
"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CARES?!?!?!"

Also the fact that when someone broke into Ai's home his first response is to call her??? Was she in danger in that moment? NO!!! SHE WASN'T EVEN THERE! Get your priorities straight. I know they were close once but the fact that it was shown that they parted on not so good terms make his actions hard to understand.
I would have been really petty and would test him and be like "go look after her and see if she is okay" and look if he dares to do it.

Banning someone for allegations is plain wrong. We should always "Trust But Verify". Just because people are in the public eye doesn't give us the right to judge and condemn them without questions asked. I am not saying the allegations must be false and of course allegations should be taken seriously. But that is the first step. Listening to the alleged victim and try to uncover the truth. If we all immediately jump to conclusions even innocent people would fall victim to someone who abuses the system. Again I am not saying he must be innocent. But I feel like we often forget that that might be a possibility.

the final storyline with the "murder" (which wasn't a murder because the person was still ALIVE) really dragged the whole show down in my opinion. We get it lying is bad. But because of this bullshit other more important story parts had no time to find a solution. Also the court case was ridiculously dumb.

martyrs everywhere....so annoying

It's giving:

Maybe I read too much into it...I thought the show was trying to emphasis that he did nothing illegal to get the money. Like him getting his stolen money back (with interest maybe) plus the 4Billion "gift" by the rich lady, that's all fair and square. Maybe he even took the money the other people lost to repay them, which would leave him with his money plus interest plus 4Billion.
I mean taking money from a thief is technically stealing and he ain't no robin hood.

But he also gave all the other victims of the scam their money back, if I'm not mistaken

I just started (as of Ep. 5)

So they basically having a mock trial for a real crime??? Not just one but multiple crimes???

What in the Totalitarianism is going on in this school?????????

First of all thank you for the detailed response.

May I ask where you were able to find prices for apartment compexes because all I found were single apartments, which might be why I am not copmpletly sold on the 1.1 BIllion SKW for a apartment complex yet.

I am not that familiar with real estate however I am aware that even single apartments in cities cost quite a lot (at least multiple hundred million SKW) depending on the city and district and size.

In my head the math is somewhat off haha. I mean this building has 6 units I believe. And in my head you would basically pay for each apartment plus some for the building and land and such.

Of course maybe I could be totally off.

Hmmm...the backstory is nice and campy and all....but it doesn't make sense how he has even enough money to buy the apartment building and still has more money to live well off. Especially if he covered the other people's losses with the supposedly 4 billion won that he got in Thailand.

Don't get me wrong 4 Billion Won is a lot but my common sense tells me the building costs more

This has one of my least favourite tropes....pushing someone away because you think it's better for them

however, this is one of the rare occasions in which it is explained why this decision was made. 👍
