hong ji ah's face the whole time she was playing along with in beom's tricks :)) this show has me laughing one minute and then shaking the next bec the cgi is scary good.
halmeoni has far better vision than i do because i just couldn't find bong yi's button in that photo no matter how many times i looked! i did manage to notice the blood on ba reum's forehead appear out of nowhere and then disappear though.
i don't know if it's just poor editing or maybe they keep adding and changing certain details at the last minute, but i feel the episodes are becoming messier and messier :(
i watched the first episode with low expectations after reading comments that it was just okay since it basically just set up the story. well, i really enjoyed it and found the second episode fun too! i looove how her encounter with this particular ghost scares me and makes me laugh at the same time :))
i didn't notice the comedy tag on this so i thought it would be the usual (i.e. serious) kind of crime drama. the poster should have been a dead giveaway. idk how they managed to balance out the laughs with the gruesome murders but i am loving it. can't believe i put off watching this for so long!
this show was so well executed! i love how it really focused on the characters and their sense of community. i thoroughly enjoyed watching the fiery and complex chemistry between the two leads. theirs is one of the best partnerships i've ever seen in a crime drama. another equally chilling relationship worth mentioning is the one between the councilwoman and her son. just when i thought i could not dislike her character any more than i already do... that woman is just so twisted, i can't even.
Their chemistry is on fiiiiiire—like, even better than YJG's chemistry with any of his previous leading ladies. I really like him in this role and genre. He's a great actor, don't get me wrong, but I just did not enjoy watching him in a romcom. On the other hand, I've only seen SHK in Soul Mechanic. I personally didn't care much for his acting there, so when I realised he was in this, I was a little disinterested. But, after watching just the first episode, I was convinced that they could not have cast a better lunatic.
The story itself is nothing new. It shares the same characteristic features of other kdramas in similar genres: a longstanding mystery, wrongful accusations, politics, etc. It also doesn't get my heart racing like a good thriller does. But what I like about it is its very micro approach in unraveling the "big mystery." I find that it really takes its time telling the characters' stories, their relationship and interactions with each other and their sense of community. So much so that I become invested in the characters. That's why it's so so sad whenever someone from their little family turns out to be a suspect or victim even if they're all shady and not exactly likeable.
This show feels more like a melodrama to me—a really, really well-executed one—with a side of mystery. It might not get my heart racing from suspense but its gradual and delicate revelations hit hard. Every. Time.
I can't believe how everyone is betraying him. I feel so sad. I'm also very angry and this lighthearted drama…
same :( and the way ha ni felt frustrated and helpless. ugh. i skimmed through the rest of ep 12 and decided not to watch it until this whole unnecessary plot with the aunt is resolved (hopefully by the next episode because it's such a waste of screen time). i was wondering if ji eun really went through with it at the end of ep 11, and i was so so glad she didn't. i feel really bad for yoo hyun's dad too though :(
From what i understand so far, its unlikely JBR is the real killer and he was a genuinely good person till he…
i also think it's the opposite. he had always been the killer and real son but pretended to be an outstanding person. he actually was quite cunning and bold, going so far as inserting himself in ko moo chi's investigation. after getting hit on the head, he has (temporarily) forgotten who he really is and is just going with what people are telling him. but little by little, we see his killer instincts (literally) kicking in.
