9/10 - Season 2 is much better than Season 1—more action-packed and fast-paced, with plenty of Jeong Jin-man in action, a more interesting storyline, and hopefully a Season 3 that finally uncovers the mastermind behind Babylon.
My advice for you is- before starting MIK season one and episode 1, watch Good News. I think it’s an important…
I also gave up on the movie Good News because I didn’t really understand it. Although it was funny, I found it a bit irritating. I’ll watch past Episode 1. Thanks!
I agree with all this, although I rated it lower than you did. Ultimately nothing was resolved, and a lot of the…
I think the writer is highlighting and lamenting the fact that, in reality, righteous people rarely prevail against corrupt individuals and the powerful cliques that support them.

The ending felt somewhat rushed, possibly because the writer had difficulty concluding the story or because there were too few episodes to develop it properly.
8.5/10 - The drama is fast-paced and interesting. However, some members of the cast did not fully convince me in their roles. For example, the actress playing the queen lacked the commanding presence, while the king seemed a bit gentle. The main actor also came across as somewhat unserious at times.
The story can feel a little confusing at times, but it remains engaging overall. I suspect the chains symbolize the pact the main character made with the devil to save the princess. If so, this agreement may eventually come back to haunt him.
8.5/10 - It is interesting and fast-paced. However, I feel the story could have ended at Episode 10 rather than being dragged out to the end without a clear or definitive conclusion. It ended with a “what if” scenario: if the murderer had never committed the crimes, the village would have had a happy ending instead of being trapped in an endless cycle of conflict and suffering.
9.5/10 - It is perfect from ep. 1 to 6. then ep 7 & 8 a bit slow, but eventually it becomes good again. This is a must-watch drama. The Penthouse writer is a legend. The acting cast is good. Hope to see more of her masterpiece soon.
9.5/10 - Fast paced, action packed, gripping and exciting. It should earn the best drama title in that year. The suspense is killing me; Fortunately, I watched it now, so I know the spoilers. The acting team is great. The writer is a genius. In the end, the narrative is that the demon still lived in the East sea, and waiting for an opportunity to strike again in the future.
8.5/10 - This is the first variety shows that I have ever watched. It is so interesting with many tests. I like shamanism as I always watch it in kdrama. The last episode is the most difficult as it requires real skill to pass the test. That's why I see the judges will favor shamans in the last few rounds, rather than tarot card readers etc. I guess to communicate with the souls in the production studio with an audience seems very unlikely. Humans cannot communicate with souls when the surrounding is too noisy and tense, as you cannot tune into the soul's frequency accurately when there is so much distraction, let alone cross over. Hence, it will come down to good acting skills and good client relationship.
