for a show about how much impact money has i really wish they had leaned into the capitalism critique a little more. overall an okay watch, kept me hooked but i was somehow struggling to emotionally resonate. i guess moving gave me too high standards when it comes to superhero dramas lol.
Im just happy its 16 eps. Dramas nowadays are only 12 eps. So thats a positive. I miss sitting through a good…
it's so funny how back a few years ago people were clamoring for shorter dramas, and now most are glad when we get a 16ep show once in a while. it really shows that it's all about balance and what serves a specific narrative well
Do you mean for the prosecutor or her investigator friend? Cause the prosecutor seems like an ass who bullied…
god yeah i still remember how invested i was in that plotline! just between lovers is now a lot higher in my priority list, i didn't vibe much with junho's past two dramas.
lee chan sol singing one of the OSTs (the one in the church scene) and it's SOOO good π always looking forward to his songs ever since his superband days. we actually have 2 superband alumni with Lucy here, fits so well with goldboys being an instrument-based group and all
Depression is a bish, I swear. Once it latches onto you, it attracts every other negative thing like a magnet.…
yeah! raik's character just screams "functional depression" to me. once he lost his anchor point (woosung) that was keeping him somewhat afloat, it all came crashing down.
Not a clue, seems like a really weird translation choice. Grain of salt for my google translation but μμ΄λμμ΄…
do ra ik λλΌμ΅ sounds like "ddorai" λλΌμ΄ aka slang for crazy/eccentric person, and switching the order of idol μμ΄λ which is pronounced aidol you get dolai λμμ΄ (R/L has interchangeable pronunciation). it's pretty witty once you know lol

i get upset at the trope too sometimes but then i remember that it once happened to me in real life (twice!), and i reconsider π we could do with less of it in drama for sure though.
I think some people need to remember this is still a romcom and will stick to romcom conventions.
yup, in the interview with the writer and director i read they clearly mention that it's a story about "gaining trust through love" and the cast mentioned that it's ultimately a love story too. we have a more balanced genre repertoire here though so it's obviously not going full steam on the romcom aspect at all times, i think that's probably what makes some people forget that romance is at the center of the story.
The other prosecutor deep down thinks justice must be served with honesty but wasn't bro the past bully, right,…
he was, but i absolutely think his father "groomed" him into all the corruption and career ladder climbing. he might have also changed from his bullying days but we don't know how much. the way he wavers tells me he isn't completely gone and has potential to become an ally in the end π
my new favorite kdrama genre is called kim jae young looking like a kicked sad puppy and the beautiful confident woman that works in law protecting him. β¨
i cried so much in episode 3 πππ the pacing is really, really good and the characters' narration is well placed within certain moments and adds so much to the way the show conveys its emotion and theme. with a premise like this, the drama could easily veer into more sensational territory but you can tell the writer and director have a very clear vision in how they want to portray the story and characters. everything feels so grounded to me.
This is 100 times better than whatever tf was Lovely Runner making people fantasise about falling in love with…
LR is such a fascinating drama to me because its popularity was so massive both overseas and domestically.. i guess it has even more of that "y/n" feel to it since it's a webnovel adaption and fantasy genre on top of that, while idol i seems a lot more grounded with its basis in the law genre and very straightforward social commentary. my own reason for never starting LR though was solely the whole "person's disability gets fixed by/for the plot" thing which i found to be incredibly tasteless.

the show managed a spot in the netflix top10 last week (as the only non-original series!), hope it can maintain that this week as well π
