I like how they are experimenting with something new in K-drama land. It can’t be easy to try and fit such an Americanesque concept into Korean drama world. So far from production to acting it’s really good. So cheers to the team! Xx

It clearly looks like he has been experimented on but he is still conscious and noticing everything that’s happening with in Argos, even more so now, coz Hwang Deuk Goo believes he has become a robot completely under his control.

Exactly. He has too many chances. Even before when she pursues him about going to the concert together. He had the chance to make the most of it but he does nothing. She even pretended to have sprained her ankle.
But that’s how the writers chose to show his character till the end.
Even when he finally confessed he turned to his friends at the end and makes a joke of it. Ultimately making a joke of his feelings for her. Which is why I hated the writers for making his character too cowardly until the end.

It’s a mixed emotion for me. I loved the beginning with all the fun and comedy and innocent romance. In the middle when I started doubting that doek sun might end up with Choi Taek I bawled my eyes out. In all my years of watching series I have never rooted for a couple like I did for Jung hwan to get his love. I basically cried a river everytime Jung hwan came on screen. Until the end I was hoping for a drama miracle where they would twist it and the one who gets the girl in the end was JH. When they confirmed it was CT I hated it. I had to force myself to finish the series. I absolutely hated it.

Thank you. Me too.

It’s a sophisticated plot carried on the basis of simple occurrences. Isn’t life full of ‘what ifs’? What if Cha Dal Geon never adopted his nephew in the first place.
The plot holes, as people are pointing out are not really plot holes but a simple mystery developing gimmick used in every crime/detective/mystery show.
Can’t wait for season 2 to come out and clear out all the queries and bring some more of the great chemistry between the lead ML and FL onto the screen again. ❤️LSG

I can agree with your interpretation of the show. It makes sense.
I do believe he woke up from the coma but chose death. What is being forgotten is the empty anti-depressant bottle on his bed side. After he realised all the people he connected with and made him happy were dead, he committed suicide in his depression. All those pills had to have killed him.
It seems to be the story of a justice seeking detective from the perspective of a depressed person.

If interested you should check out Healer and While You Were Sleeping. They have strong plots without being slow paced and the romance fits well into the story without being cringe-worthy.
