This is only the 5th episode but I feel compelled to write this given all the negativity.
First, this really is a fantasy, which some can't seem to understand. A funny one at that. As well as an interesting look at the dynamics of this group friendship, as well as the way our two leads keep missing each other. Every episode adds to the discerning viewers' understanding of what's happened to keep these two apart, as well as a unique way of examining both Pil's & Soo Jin's personalities. It seems more episodic than most KDramas, but since we know it's only 16 episodes there should be a resolution, so that's just fine! I'm spending a lot of enjoyable moments watching this drama - it is funny, charming, with some poignant moments and a great group of friends :D Give it a CHANCE, people!
BTW I'm giving it a HIGH rewatch value, not just because of JJ but because I've already had to go back & rewatch some scenes due to stuff I missed the first time around - scenes that didn't seem significant at first but which on viewing the next episode turn out to be important.
I really wanted to love this, but can't get over the fact how stupid the detectives are in this drama. They…
If you're referring to the chief not seeing the connections between the murders, I also was like huh? But then when I realized how much time went by between them (a year or more is condensed in the first ep) and how procedures were so different 30 yrs ago...it was more believable. Also, note that these murders are based on the most famous unsolved serial murder case in S.Korea, so there is some real-life elements in terms of how it was investigated (although not closely).
About the 'violence'...now that I think of it, I guess there's a cultural comedy element to the 'violence'...The juxtaposition of Park Kwang Ho as this curmudgeonly old-timer from the 80s suddenly thrown into 2017 where 'we can't beat anyone up anymore' ...it's pretty hilarious if you're familiar with how things have changed over the past 30 years in this part of the world, although it's probably funnier for the older set. But as Rtee said, if you keep going, you'll see more of the contrast between PKH and Kim Seon Jae, who is more cerebral.
In my humble opinion definitely one of the best running dramas right now, it's very intriguing and the characters, all of them are interesting and well acted.It also has a wide variety of genres covered, right from suspense to comedy. It somehow reminds me a little of the British show Life on Mars.
I love this drama and I liked the last episode and I think this drama gets better and better!! I love Jung Kyung Ho (and Seo Joon Oh) so much ~ he is so amazing!!!<3 Really can´t wait for the next episode! T_T
It was awesome! I just finished it, im still bawling my eyes out. The acting of some of the characters was amazing and the music, wow. I cant get enough of the music. It was an epic journey. I didnt think it would go this way in the middle but all in all, the end was perfect and made sense.
Plot is getting thin. Show is losing its edge. After episode 8, it's downhill. Didn't know this show was really called "Hye Ji and the four Knights". I thought Ha Won was the main female lead but Hye Ji is getting too much exposure. Can we please focus on the OTP???? It's only episode 10 and I'm getting bored.
I wasn't ready for this kind of ending.
Even though from the very beginning he kept talking about how he will die soon...
I still expected something crazy to happen, and for him not to die... *Sobs*
