Just yesterday I was wondering when he's going to get a new offer!! my mans booked and busy 😍 (meanwhile his other movie + tysoac are still nowhere to be found..)
I cannot wait for that episode when they finally fall for each other admittedly. Their chemistry on screen feels…
Yesss I really wanna see them be mutually in love 😭 I bet it's gonna be one of those cases where girl falls first, but guy falls even harder.
Their chemistry is really top tier. I'm grateful that the dramagods put them together in the end (since lots of actors rejected the ML role). And I need my Yeo Jin Goo romance fix after HDL disappointed me :')
husband and wife, in the drama, duo drama? This sounds like it could be real good.
i haven't yet seen a drama where the two leads are already married at the start (i'll get to FoE eventually..), so i'm really intrigued to see the dynamics!!
lee jong suk in that poster is already getting me super hyped already! love me some kdrama men looking battered and bruised <3 I'm glad he's finally in another drama after coming back from enlistment. also dying to see kwak dong yeon and yang kyung won together (mini vincenzo reunion :'))
I've seen this theory pop up a few times and I think it's pretty reasonable: We're all unsure about whether she's even his real sister or not because she wasn't saved in his phone contacts which would be super odd if she was his actual family, esp with the way she's crying about him that makes it seem like they're really close. And when she's at home crying his picture is never actually shown and we can only see the back of the picture frame. So what if she's not his sister but the sister of one of his previous victims? And the person in the picture is actually her younger sister? The subtitles say she's looking for her "little brother" but in Korean, she only ever says "dongsaeng" which just means younger sibling. Why make her be vague about it? If she really was his sister wouldn't she just call out his name? She might actually be looking for her missing sister who was also a victim, so she wants to find her and take revenge on the stalker. That's why she's decided to hang around Dahyun because she thinks she's the stalker's girlfriend and she is "hiding" him. We also know there has been a murder of a woman in the neighborhood that Dahyun used to live in, in the very same house the stalker claimed to be living in. That victim could be the stalker's previous obsession who he killed before moving on to Dahyun (explains why the body was already rotting when found). Whether that's her sister or not is unclear because the body was likely already identified and in the recent episode she seemed really concerned when seeing that news report about remains being found in the mountains, so her sister must still be missing. Whether any of this is true remains to be seen but I'm 100% sure that she isn't the stalker's real sister (or watch me eat my words lol), and might be using that as a cover in order to find him and get revenge on him.
Watched the last two eps yesterday (after some arduous back and forth to get my dad to finally watch them w/ me lol) but totally forgot to leave my last comment. I AM SO SO SAD THAT THIS SHOW IS OVER. WHAT WILL I DO ON WEEKENDS WITHOUT THIS DRAMA. I know some ppl have their qualms with the last eps but I've been loving this drama so much and thoroughly enjoyed them as well I honestly have nothing to complain about still. I adore how they ended the drama, not that I had any doubts they'd fumble the bag with the ending considering how well everything has been handled! The last ep was one hell of a rollercoaster for sure though. A ton of moments that had me shocked/crying/holding my breath but that's exactly what I wish for when it comes to finales and FNOS really delivered in that regard. Also, an absolutely appropriate and adorable ending for Cha Woong and Seul Hae!! I'm crying at how we had to say goodbye to the ghosts and Choi Geom, but in a way not really 😂
I think at the end of the day, FNOS is one of those dramas that sure, might not be the most groundbreaking or profound like some others but it really isn't trying to be any of that, and it doesn't need to be. It sets you up with a pretty bizarre, but not completely unnormal for drama-standards premise, familiar but fun dynamics between its leads, quirky and lovable side characters combined with some criminal cases and a nice intriguing mystery. What I expected was an enjoyable show, but what I didn't expect, was to be completely sucked in and care much /more/ about it all than I initially did. Yes, there is nothing extremely groundbreaking happening, but the way the drama excels in all of the aforementioned aspects and never once falters in terms of writing or pacing (imho) makes up for a very very entertaining and engaging show. When the plot started to hint at the leads' backstory I was pleasantly surprised because I just didn't think it was the type of show to have such an epic, larger-than-life love story but the way it was pulled off was extremely well done. The way it seamlessly inserts a past life backstory in proper sageuk fashion without feeling jarring, with the drama's overall vibe still being present was probably the best display of how nicely this drama manages to balance its genres; the mystery, comedy, romance and fantasy elements are all fleshed out and well balanced. It was never boring and always fun to watch, I cried and laughed with the characters many times and dreaded having to let them go at the end. When a drama does just that, it's perfect in my book, even if isn't an intellectual masterpiece. Which is why FNOS has now taken its rightful place in my top favorite dramas of all time. Seriously I'll miss this show so much, I don't know when, but I'm definitely gonna be rewatching it in the future, maybe when my memory of it faded a little so that I can enjoy it as if new again. Atm I'm respectfully looking at Cafe Minamdamg which is looking like a possible good follow-up for this one, with the wacky comedy and shamans and a slowburn romance, so we'll see.
Idk about you guys but I honestly fail to see the "pacing issues" or "plot holes" (??) some people seem to be fretting over,, like guys this is a mystery drama!! Of course it takes its time unfolding its secrets. It's quite normal for a show like this. Maybe some people are just impatient, but I don't mind it, because I think this is exactly what this drama intends: to leave little pieces of the puzzle throughout the course of the story for you to theorize, guess and piece them together bit by bit and have everything come together by the end, and I think that's really fun and keeps one engaged. It reminds me a little of Beyond Evil (another YJG drama with a suspicious town lol) which I only started but it definitely resembles the way it handles the mystery, and I also know a lot of people didn't like that and got annoyed at how "long" everything took to be revealed but that's just the kind of storytelling approach the writer took, which is probably a similar one here. And if you just watch the drama knowing that then I don't think pacing is a problem.
But I think it's quite rare for a Kdrama (which we're used to sometimes having slightly formulaic storylines even in this kind of genre) to be this unpredictable. I haven't been able to correctly guess what happens next even once and I love that about this show. It surprises me all the time. Every character is either mysterious, hiding something or still completely unexplored and I just can't wait to find out more. And on top of that, it really knows to balance its genres. The thrilling mystery interspersed with little moments of comedy and irony, and the romance between the leads (who have amazing chemistry, thank heavens for pairing YJG & MGY together) make this drama a full course meal! Although likely not as delicious as the dishes that Gyehoon is cooking.
first found young-dae when i watched extraordinary you; seeing clips of him in shooting stars, i'd say that his…
really do hope for him to have improved bc i'm watching extraordinary you rn and he's absolutely unbearable to watch >< i do wanna give this one a try though bc i really liked park ju hyun in love all play :((
But it could also just be someone's imagination.....right?
I think the ending was def just Dahyun's imagination, because in the preview, Gyehoon said "if that person is still alive.." meaning they don't actually know if the stalker is dead or not + they already showed how he got hit by the Taxidriver's car
Oh my god. This show just keeps getting crazier and crazier. I honestly can't comment on anything because there's just /too much/ to comment on. 😂 Waiting for new episodes is going to be a new kind of hard with this one. If you're not watching this drama, PLEASE start now and be confused and bewildered with the rest of us here. It's so entertaining.
I know there are a lot of factors that have to come together to make a very good drama but I have to say that…
I'm so glad YJG and MGY are the ones who ended up as the leads, because apparently this drama had quite a hard time casting its leads and the script had to go through several actors (Kim Seon Ho among others I think) until they agreed to it. But I honestly can't picture anyone else but them playing the main characters!
Their chemistry is really top tier. I'm grateful that the dramagods put them together in the end (since lots of actors rejected the ML role). And I need my Yeo Jin Goo romance fix after HDL disappointed me :')

But sadly, from now on, no Showtime anymore.
