She might don't want to believe it but the doubt certainly is there, since when a person is being pressured and has much to risk, you get to believe which you wouldn't normally believe if you were rational. At least that is what would explain her change of heart.

I think what Gu Reum shows with her attitude against ZIO is what the story try to tell the viewers from the beginning, "humans are afraid of what is different to them and are able to commit cruel things to keep away from the unknown". She firstly empathised with ZIO because saw the human side of him. But now , she has her baby that might be the same as him, and that is what made her to change her opinion, because she is afraid of her baby becoming someone that will not be accepted as a human, and also because others made her believe her parents were murdered by ZIO. Yes, it still very wrong to trust those who tried to harm her instead of believing what the father of her baby says. However, the key to her convincement is again, her fear to accept the different , which is fine when you are talking about anyone else, but feelings are very different when you talk about your own flesh and blood.

I started to drop a few after reading this article and I feel better indeed. Although I felt a bit bad dropping a few high rated ones that I have almost completed including it's ok not being ok

I have a few dramas on-hold or in the currently watching list that I'm not longer watching them but refuse to drop them because I only have 1 or few episodes left for the end and I feel bad giving up without seeing the ending. But I guess, it will be a good idea just dropping these dramas if I am not interested anymore.

I would say that dropping disease is more a blessing than a curse. I really envy those with the determination of dropping a drama when it is not longer of interest. I feel all the time that my dramalist is a chaos and in need of a good clean up. I think I would benefit greatly of getting a DD myself so I could find some peace of mind. For example, I could drop all those dramas I have in my currently watching list, that I am not longer following but I find hard to drop them because they were appealing at some point but then I got bored and stopped watching them. I would also find rewarding start dropping those drama in the on-hold category ( why in the first place they got there? the answer is because I felt bad to drop them without giving a second chance) Then, I will also limit the number of dramas I have in my plan to watch list (because if you haven't found a good reason to start them in a few weeks, perhaps they are not good enough to even think in watching them in the future) However, one of the key factors why is so difficult to get infected with DD and go crazy dropping dramas is that you put them in those on-hold, plan to watch or currently watching lists that long ago, that you forgot what the dramas were about, so you feel that you should at least try to watch them once more before taking any definite decision.

Thanks for the recommendations, but I already watched the three dramas you said.

I didn't like that it was an alien sort of type drama, so I wasn't to watch it. But I came across this drama again after watching some time travel type ones and, this one was recommended as a good science fiction drama. I am glad that started to watch it because actually, it was very good drama with an interesting plot. Very good ideas on tech and the possibilities of what the humanity future would look like by using them. It would make an amazing science fiction movie. I wonder if someone thought of making a blockbuster from this plot.

I enjoyed this drama but it didn't make an impact on me as it did "Nine: nine times time travel". I think the romance and connection between leads in Nine was far better. In train, the romance bit was too weak and I agreed with other comments in that Seo Do Won character it was much appealing and interesting that Han Seo Kyung, who was too flat and predictable.
I watched also all similar dramas mentioned in the recommendations and comments section. But I would appreciate if anyone could recommend me another drama in the same genre.

There are two characters that I really dislike in this drama: Jo Hyun Hee (Do jung Woo's mother) and Gong Il Do [Hye Won's father]. It was hard to watch how heartless persons they were and how cruelly tortured the poor kids without any remorse. I was very disappointed of not seeing them receiving the same treatment. For me it was also very unrealistic after Hye Won has found out the truth about her father that she just limited to trying persuading him to surrender to the police , so he will receive less punishment for his crimes. Honestly, this it was the worst. It does not matter if he is your father, he is not even feeling guilty neither understand what he did wrong,. if I was in that position, I will report him straight away, knowing that he still torturing kids while he is confessing not feeling guilty for some simple reasons: he wouldn't hurt anyone else anymore, because it is my duty as a police officer, and because if I keep silence, I will immediately become responsible for any harm he could do to the kids. As for Hyun Hee, she is a monster. How could she have done that to her own children? I found this drama very dark and disappointing because it failed to give viewers some sort of fair justice at the end. Many lives were ruined, many kids died of a horrible death and two of the more evil characters still alive . I really hope they don't do a second season of this drama. I don't want to see these people continuing with their bad deeds.

What a dreadful job they did by letting Jung Woo Sung doing the same character. It is not the actor fault, I think he did a good job trying to look exactly as Bae Sung Woo, but doesn't matter how well he imitate the character, you can't forget is not him, it seems too forced. I think the solution they found is the worst because is as pretending to fool the audience and get away with it by the silly comment " You seem different". There were better options to save the day, like making him to get into an accident (driving drunk?) and die, then a brother of him showing up and trying to find the reasons why this happened and helping lawyer Park Tae Yong to catch the bad guys. Even his girlfriend could have be kept her screen time by also helping Park Sam Soo brother in his quest. An if he didn't have any brothers, a close friend that owned him a big favour because Sam Soo helped him in the pass. Whatever other option would have worked better than continuing with Sam Soo played by other actor.

After seeing episodes 17 and 18 I can tell that keep the same character with a different actor is completely wrong. Should have been better if they changed the plot and introduced a new character.

Bae Sung Woo replacement for me just feel wrong. I don't understand why a drama with a few episodes left has to change a character because some scandal in the actor's private life. I really like his performance in this drama and not sure if I will be happy to watch the remaining episodes after he has been fired from the drama.
I think people are too judgemental and want to punish him for driving drunk. There is not the public duty to punish him, but of the law, and he will pay for his crime as any other person would do for similar offence . And yes, driving a car influenced by alcohol consumption is very dangerous and can cause other people death and never should be taken lightly. But unfortunately, many people drive a car in such conditions for different reasons (not good reasons tough) and usually regret their actions when they realise how stupid they were and how easily their behaviour could put at risk other people lives. However this doesn't mean your boss has to fire you from your work, because your boss is not a judge and it is not his/her duty to make you pay for driving drunk. Of course if you are in a career where your image can damage the company and you have a clause in your contract saying they can fire you if you are involved in a scandal, they have all rights to do so. But still think that is unfair for a company to fire an employer for something he did outside working hours. As other fans pointed out, actors in Asian dramas are too pressured by their agencies and the public opinion and I feel very sorry see how they are punished twice for any mistake they do.

I think this is one of the best Korean dramas of the year. I really like Seo Ye Ji character, she is doing a great interpretation.

I didn't like the romance story between Tae Pyung and Joon Young, as other people mentioned, it seemed too forced and I could not feel identified with their feelings. For me it was more real the connection between her and Hyun Woo. I believe his character was more interesting that the main lead because his trauma and confusion with what was fair and what was right that provokes an internal fight with his inner self. It could have been a great drama with a twist in which he might had a chance to be loved by Hyun Woo and Tae Pyung character ended showing a dark side that would rise the question what is really right or wrong and how easily is to make mistakes when judging people actions or reasons to behave in a particular way, or questioning where is the boundary of something lawfully right or ethically right. I hated the part when the Chief got away with just a "I am sorry! after he ruined other people's lives . However, the idea was interesting and had some thrilling moments. Overall, my conclusion is that Im Joo Hwan was the best of the drama in acting and dept of character.

I watched the first season before starting with this one and I was really hooked with Master Kim character. I read many contradictory comments comparing both season (some people highlighting how good was the first one and others ensuring this one is much better) For me, there was something missing in the first season that I could only score it with a 9 (mostly based on its original plot, interesting characters and thrilling episodes that made me excited about all that medical stuff). Somehow after completing season 2, I have realised that there were also some flaws and it could have been better developed, but I gave it a score of 9.5 because it amazed me how good was the drama to keep me interested until the very end, despite of being more of the same story. I agree in that director Do was a bad choice and he should have been disappeared forever in the first season to introduce a new evil character more appealing. I liked though the fact that they brought Doctor Park's character to add some freshness and charisma to the plot. And above all, my extra half point was given for the development of Master Kim in this second part, where he shows a more empathetic and emotional side of him, which makes him more credible without losing that resemblance of a hero.

Rugal: I think the plot for this drama is interesting and it has a good actor as a main lead, Choi Jin Hyuk. I would like also to see Park Sung Woong again in a main role because I really liked his interpretation in the drama When The Devil Calls Your Name
Tell Me What You Saw: I like thriller/mystery dramas and Jang Hyuk is one of my favourite actors, and I think Jang Hyun Sung is very convincing in his roles too, so I am looking forwards for this drama that has the plus of starting in February!
The King: The Eternal Monarch: I think this is going to be one of the most anticipates dramas of 2020 having Lee Min Ho and Woo Do Hwan in the main cast. I can't wait for the summer to come!

I think this show is a very interesting and original idea since being filmed in a foreign country and encounter with unexpected situations due to cultural customs. As a Spanish person from South Spain with some knowledge in hairdressing I really enjoyed watching the first episode and I laughed so much with their comments and opinions about all they were experiencing. Shame that I am not currently in Spain, If I were there, I would definitely go to their hair salon, my hometown, Cordoba is just beside Seville! I am looking forwards to watch the next episodes.

For me the end of Bidam in Queen Seon Duk was epic. I am not a fan of fights but this one was so painful and meanful that I really empathised with the characters and their misfortune. I never felt so sad from a death in a Korean drama.

I think that you will be surprise to discover that Korean society is not such homogeneous country where racial discrimination is a factor to not be worry about. As far as I know, after dig a little deeper in their history, having travelled to Korea and having watched many dramas that also provide usable information of their daily lives ( despite of being a dramatization of their reality), Korean society also commits discrimination about the colour of your skin. In this way, some of them, think that people who are pure Korean are further better than Japanese-Korean or Chinese-Korean, etc. There is also a lot of miscegenation with Philippines. But there are other details about their society and how isolates certain groups that I found very surprising, like the fact of having both parents or not, having a provincial accent, which university you graduated from (100% most relevant than in other European countries), or if you are able to understand Chinese Characters (well pointed this fact in the drama when Cha Min Hyuk showed off his knowledge by writing the tips to help Kang Joon Sang with Chinese Characters)

As I said, I gave very good marks to the drama because as you mentioned, addresses many of this problems quite accurately and the message still there. Proof of its success on making an impact on the viewers in such methods of education is the many comments, reviews, etc., originated from something that is fictional.
