Let me get this straight -- in Korea, if someone stabs you in the back, he won't be prosecuted if you fight back?…
They both stabbed each other during the fight and didn't want the police involved because (IMO) it would affect the ongoing investigation. The cousins' fight was personal, so they didn't report it.
I like the story but the drama has issues with pacing and it gets repetitive after episode 8. I'm still watching…
They do and I like their chemistry. However, this would've been much better with 12 episodes instead of 16. The dragging parts wouldn't exist then and the story would be more fluid. Now it has good stuff with boring stuff crammed in between. I can understand why some viewers find it frustrating.
I was going to give this one a try because i love hwang jung eum and adore seo ji hoon. I kinda want their characters…
I like the story but the drama has issues with pacing and it gets repetitive after episode 8. I'm still watching it because I like the three leads and want to know how it ends. It's not something I watch as soon as the subs are available. I wait for the weekend and watch both eps back to back - it's that kind of drama for me. (if that makes any sense, lol)
One of the best features of this drama is the pacing. There's never a dull moment, even when the characters are not focused on the murder investigation.
Ep 12 .....How can he fight with a wound like that ?? he twisted the knife into his back and the good detective…
Yes, it was a little OTT. At the hospital the doctor said he had lost a lot of blood, but he would be fine, so I'm going along with the idea that the knife missed vital organs and adrenaline kept him going ;)
I don't know if I am the only one, but because of the poster and opposite characters I thought this is a comedy…
No, it's similar to Scandinavian Crime Noir - if you are familiar with that genre (The Bridge, The Killing) - with light moments scattered here and there.
RIP Detective Yang - the only person in that gloomy police dept who cared about Soo Young without a hidden agenda or ulterior motive. He was just a good guy who looked out for his colleagues.
okay so I might be dumb and slow but what hints were there when people guessed that cha soo young's friend was…
Initially I didn't think it was him because I underestimated the age of the kid in the car (the one that killed Soo Young's mum) and thought he was 5/6 which would make him 25ish now and therefore too young to be The Guy. The moment Soo Young described him as 11 or 13 I knew it had to be Dong Shik because the age worked out and it made sense given he's a policeman who had access to police radio equipmen and other information. Also the actor who portrays DS appeared in The Fiery Priest as a colourful baddie and I was wondering if he was a bad guy in this as well. You know how kdramas cast the same actor in the same roles ALL THE TIME. But I must say, the reveal was done quite well in the show.
Episode 11: anyone else think the ragdoll is a red herring? That kid was about 5 or 6 at the time of the hit and run accident. He looked way younger than Soo Young. So that makes him around 25 or 26 now. We know the Yi Soo murder/intersection accident happened five years ago. So a 20 year old pulled that off? Seems so unlikely. The blood spatter on the doll hints there's some sort of history there. I don't buy a 20 year old kidnapping and mutilating that many people all by himself. EDITED AFTER EPISODE 12: Soo Young describes the boy as between 11 and 13, so then the age of the killer works out. But come on, that kid clutching the ragdoll in the car didn't look like a pre-teen to me.
I do agree with the theory that Team Leader Hwang wants to kill The Guy before Hyun Jae because she was once his victim and when he asked her for a name of someone she wants dead (as foreshadowed by HJ in an earlier episode when he appeared on a tv show) she named Yi Soo. That would explain her reaction to the tape recording she received - she doesn't want HJ to find out about it even though she herself was a victim.
I genuinely can't decipher why this drama is not popular.. It keeps you on your toes and is a great thriller/mystery/courtroom…
It wasn't available on popular streaming sites during its broadcast on tvn and the subtitled episodes were released about four days after each episode aired, so not many people could watch it online. Great drama - too bad most people can't watch it.
Disagree:1. He has no reason to doubt her since she's not a member of the privileged quartet2. She wanted to meet…
Moo Hyuk's behaviour isn't out of character - he has repeatedly taken risks to get the information he wants. Also, the student will have to explain why she called him on his mobile just minutes before the alleged assault as well. He has nothing to lose by saying she claimed to have information on Soo Ah. This "frame the temp" plan is pretty half-baked and won't stick.
Gi Moo Hyuk is soooo stupid. He was framed once by Gi Hoon and Yeri yet he was framed once again in ep 10. he…
Disagree: 1. He has no reason to doubt her since she's not a member of the privileged quartet 2. She wanted to meet him during school hours in the broadcasting room - he left the door open 3. He told So Hyun about her before going to meet her
This will create some drama but it won't derail his plan. The preview indicates this as well.
