They guessed that the water sensor was manipulated. Why would they think that the business owner used it to make an alibi for the dancer? Manipulating the alarms because "he knew she was going to look for him" was such a bad excuse. There is no benefit for him to do that. It irritated me that this wasn't obvious to them. Of course she did that so that she can have an alibi to go move the body. What is it for the business owner? He can just say "I'll go do bla bla" or just leave and no one will even question it. He is free to do whatever. He can leave the meeting on his own free will. The dancer is the only one who has someone to answer for. She was the only one who needed a reason to leave the meeting so that her boss won't ask for her. There was no need for him to manipulate the water sensor just so that he can get the dancer out of the way. Haha
That was ridiculous. It made me so angry that this simple conclusion didn't cross their minds, even though Kim Ji Hoon told them exactly what happened and that "of course she did that so that I would tell her to go fix it and she can move the body". I was like "Thank you!" when he said it, and thought of course they would agree that this is most probably what happened. If he was going to manipulate the water sensor to make an alibi for himself, he would've gone to "fix it" himself.
Your points are valid plus I also preferred Kill Boksoon. However, I think this movie is still easy to understand…
I did the same and I don't remember the meaning of a bloody knife. I might've missed it if they explained it again in this movie, but the whole background was pretty confusing to me, since I vaguely remember Kill Bok Soon.
My memory of it is foggy, since it wasn't such a masterpiece, and I also kept confusing it with the plot and setting of John Wick. However, I think it's such a waste to start this, and be forced to skip Kill Bok Soon all together, especially since they spoil its ending.
The second one was deliberately silly. It is supposed to imitate a makjang drama where events are too ridiculous…
I think the members agree with you too. They voted almost unanimously for this person, and looked down on the one who didn't vote the same. I also thought they were bad at it, especially since they kept refusing to explain things, and kind of lied at times, but I thought that they were were going to be saved by the other people who were acting really suspicious, and that they were getting away with it. In the first case, I thought there is no way they are getting away with it.
I didn't like Busted, to be honest. I thought Crime Scene has done it better (because I have watched the first…
Yes, except for the actual actor, they are not good actors. Haha I often figure out who the murderer is as soon as they gather at the beginning, but I spend the rest of the episode figuring out how and why.
I know that some of the members of Busted are smart, that is why I said most of them are not, not all of them. While I don't know their actual IQ, some of them are obviously on a different level.
What I was getting at, is not calling all the members of Busted stupid, but I was trying to highlight the difference between the shows in terms of casting. In this show, all of them had proven one way or another that they are above average in terms of intelligence, even before the show was created. This explains why most of them are bad at acting, because they didn't pick them for their sense of humor or their great acting skills. They went for people who are known to be intelligent.
To me, these shows are not comparable, they are totally different from each other, so I understand that this didn't suit your taste, even though you liked Busted.
Unbearably boring! 🙈 How can this be so bad? I don't understand... I'm a fan of shows like Busted, Agents of…
I didn't like Busted, to be honest. I thought Crime Scene has done it better (because I have watched the first three seasons at the time). Busted felt linear because they were forced to go to places and meet with NPCs without actually using their brains. The puzzles were set up for them like they were in a game, so the clues weren't realistic. Also, most of the members were of a low to medium IQ, so no one was impressive or did anything impressive on that show. If they added someone clever, like Kim Jong Kook or Hong Jin Ho, it might've helped a little.
What I like about this show that isn't in Busted is that the clues are realistically done and scattered. You don't have to solve a fake puzzle set up by the production team to solve the mystery, you just have to think like a detective. Also, they don't point you to a direction, you can find a big clue at the start of the episode, and then find smaller clues. It is not as linear as Busted where the production team guides them where to go and set the scenes in advance.
My advice is to try to watch the second case before dropping it. If you are looking for comedy, it's definitely more fun than the first one.
I really enjoy watching this series!Personally, I liked the first case better in terms of the plot, the actors,…
The second one was deliberately silly. It is supposed to imitate a makjang drama where events are too ridiculous to happen in real life.
I thought the first culprit was the worst "actor" of the two. You can tell who it was during the first few minutes. The second one was kind of crazy, so even though they aren't good at acting, you can't say for sure because everyone else is acting crazy too. Haha
If you watched the second one as a comedy you will enjoy it more. I forgot we had to look for a killer, or who died, and just enjoyed the ridiculousness of it.
I don't know why I keep seeing "You don't have to watch Kill Bok Soon first" in the comments.
1. They spoil the ending of Kill Bok Soon in this movie, so it will ruin your experience if you ever decided to watch Kill Bok Soon later on. 2. Kill Bok Soon makes an appearance in this movie, so she will be a stranger to you when this happens. You will also have a hard time figuring out what's the point of this additional "pop-up" character that comes out of nowhere. 3. Long flashbacks of a main character in Kill Bok Soon that is linked to all the main characters in this movie. 4. You have to understand the background of this organization, how they work, what are all these rankings, and what's the meaning of a bloody knife. 5. While Kill Bok Soon isn't a masterpiece, it is far superior to this movie. So, you will be ruining the better movie just to watch this mediocre spin-off.
Unoriginal underdeveloped pointless garbage. It's like they've decided to make a teen-targeted spin-off of Kill Bok Soon. It was like watching a teen drama with some comical violence. Can't believe they got all these actors and decided to go with this lame twist-less plot and those characters.
… Ikeda Akana who played Yuna. Like her character was forgettable but that one scene where she cries for her…
You might've felt bad for her poor brother. That is maybe why it felt emotional when she cried. The poor guy dumping all his points just to make her happy. She didn't even bother stepping up with one point when he was alive, then got surprised he died. sheesh
… Ikeda Akana who played Yuna. Like her character was forgettable but that one scene where she cries for her…
She irritated the hell out of me. She was kind of like a heavy luggage that everyone is carrying around. She barely done anything besides crying. I liked the background story of her with her brother though.
To be honest, that's a fair point. I would be embarrassed to voice my dissatisfaction about a drama if I was watching it illegally. They are also "calling for stricter enforcement of the "ban on Hallyu Wave"" when the dramas they are angry about weren't intended for them. Are they planning to ban pirated dramas? I don't see how that would affect the drama negatively, since they are already not paying for it. It's only going to hurt the fans.
I'm confused about why Jun Ji Hyun took the blame though. Is it because she said the line that the writer wrote? Or because she agreed to star on a bigoted drama? Or because they think she is the drama's representative?
ah yes the evil american invadors, such vile peoplezEvery thinking hooman knows there is no terrorism in iraq…
Not "every other country" shares the same view as you. Just saying, as someone from another unrelated country. Many countries in the world define invading as the process of entering another country in order to control it, and sees it as it is. We are not that clueless to believe all the made-up reasons for invasion. It seems like you are clueless about what the rest of the world thinks. It is astonishing that you still believe what your media is saying.
I am enjoying the drama a lot. It deserves 8.3 or more at least but MDL haters are really something else. I don't…
To be honest, I didn't know she was supposed to be a sociopath. She doesn't seem like one. Was this written somewhere or is it the way you interpreted her character?
In case someone didn't catch on. The voice of one of the masked people who was saying "Do we have to do this?" when the "little girl" asked to play Hide and Seek was of actor Jung Woong In who plays the villain in the second episode.
That was ridiculous. It made me so angry that this simple conclusion didn't cross their minds, even though Kim Ji Hoon told them exactly what happened and that "of course she did that so that I would tell her to go fix it and she can move the body".
