I started on this but Jin Sang is getting beyond frustrating so I'll hold off on this for now. Those who are watching this, let me know when Hae Jin divorces Jin Sang. lol. I'll probably start from there.
Sometimes i don't understand people's logic. They are blaming Yu Roung as she is selfish/annoying, only thinking…
She's selfish when it comes to her actions since it cause others around her a lot of trouble. Yes she does everything she can to find her sister but she doesn't realize the consequences others have to suffer because of her. After her secret gets revealed, at least her character gets better as she's more aware of others and her surroundings. But no I don't sympathize with the subway ghost at all. If he would've been the responsible father and not pickpocket from others, he wouldn't have lost his daughter that day. He started off already as the criminal long before his daughter died. The mom also shares responsibility because all she had to do was to watch her grandchild and she couldn't even do that.
She did. But it didn't really make sense to me how she turned a complete 180 after a small conversation with her mom. Like there wasn't a steady progression to this change. It was just an instant change after she told her mom how she felt.
So a couple of things I wanna say about episode 11 - Ji Suk has really grown in character. I wasn't really too fond of him in the beginning but you continue to see a progression in character development to the point where he's very likable and you just want to see more of his scenes. He could've took the route of being very angry at Yoo Ryung for all the lies and actions she did but instead he was very understanding and caring for her. - I kinda wish Yoo Ryung would've just told Ji Suk the truth from her own mouth instead of Ji Suk finding out from her friend and the video from Ma Ri, but oh well. I'm just glad the secret is out now. It makes the episode more enjoyable now that there are no more secrets. - This episode looks to be the start of character development for Yoo Ryung. Now that her secret is out, no reason to lie anymore or commit any more actions behind Chief's back. Plus, it looks like she's thinking about Chief now and not just herself anymore. Yay! - Romance between the leads likely starts from this episode on out. I just didn't feel any romance connection between the leads until this episode. It felt more like just work partnership the whole time until this episode aired.
No problem. Those who dropped it didn't really missed much anyways. lol
Honestly, I was curious to see if the leads would survive or not from this because it could've gone either way and I probably would've been fine with it considering the plot wasn't great anyways.
Idk why some ppl say Yoo Ryung role is annoying, I could understand why she does all that, and ep 8 is really…
For me, I get why she does all that too but that doesn't excuse her character from being an annoying one. Take Ep 8 for example. If she would've just help Chief capture the grasshoppers in the first place, then they would've found the phone of the recording of the baker's son kidnapper. But because she's so terrible at seeing what's in front of her (aka Chief already capturing one of the Grasshopper guy), she jumps randomly instead and lands on the Chief and let the thief gets away. This is another annoying part of Yoo Ryung. Instead of chasing the thief, she knocks Chief off the scooter and goes after of the dump truck where the thief threw the "possible stolen items". While I do understand why she did this (because she really want to find the Baker's son plus knowing the feeling of finding an autistic family member), her actions are still frustrating to me. What else can I say, she wants to move to the Metro division (from the preview). she wants a new partner and she says partners should work/stick together but she doesn't do that at all. Chief always have to sacrifice for her. She never does any of the sacrificing. She may be selfless when it comes to helping the victims but she is so selfish when it comes to her co-workers & Chief. Some may feel emotional during her breakdown scenes but I just can't. I can't sympathize with her just based on everything she's done so far up to ep 8. I know she's doing everything she can to find her sister but I just hate it how she's using the Subway police & Chief for her own motives. I kinda wish Ma Ri would expose her already to Chief on taking the tunnel key.
The drama is very interesting but ugh Yoo Ryung is so annoying and beyond frustrating. Everything she does I just want to slap her. Never thinks about Chief. Only does things that benefits her. She frustrates me a lot more than Ma Ri does. What is the writer thinking?
I have mix feelings about this drama. I think the cases are interesting but I'm not feeling the characters of Yoo Ryung & Ji Suk, the female & male lead. I can see why some may be quite annoyed from the leads in Ep 3. Yoo Ryung is a caring person when it comes to getting justice for the victims but she's pretty selfish on taking advantage of the police position given to her because of her personal reason, and as the plot description stated, causes a lot of problems but I never would've guess her causing issues for Ji Suk would be this annoying. Ji Suk, while you do pity him at times, he's not all that likable either. There's nothing wrong with following the rules but the fact that he relies heavily so much on that and not human instinct makes him a bit frustrating too, especially when he wants to do things the right way but none of the other police departments want to cooperate with him. I just wish he would stand up for himself instead of getting pushed around and for Yoo Ryung to think before she acts.
Of course, this drama is just getting started so I do expect character development in the female & male lead characters. For me though, I do prefer having at least the male lead or female lead being mostly likable to start off but that's not the case for this drama. I just hope the writers give more focus on the main story plot and less on the side story/cases. It's good how it is right now but I wouldn't want to see it to continue to be written like this after the halfway point of this drama.
Man the writers are showing no love to Sanchez. First, he was made into a bad reputation thanks to Seol Ji Won (aka Serial Killer) and then he loses the girl he loves due to an accident just before she was going to meet him and what's worse is that he only got a few minutes of screen time with her as a ghost. He should've had more time with her. Why does the serial killer gets more time on the drama than him and his girlfriend? (Sorry, I'm just venting).
This drama reminds me of The Master's Sun, not plot wise but the elements in that drama that's similar to this drama. It has a horror theme to it but also includes comedy, to make you frightful on one side but at the same time laughing on the other side. I love it. This drama also does the same thing Master's Sun does and that is showing the mini stories of the minor/guest characters, while at the same time, the main plot is being revealed piece by piece. After seeing 4 episodes, it does seem to be progressing at a good pace. It's been awhile since I anxiously wait for the next episode of a drama but this one is doing that pretty well.
Happy ending but the plot is everywhere. After finishing it and seeing all the plots and characters, this could've…
Eh... it's there for certain episodes, mostly the first half of the drama but there are a lot more scenes of where the leads aren't together and the villains seemed to get more screen time. When you do see the leads together, you just can't help but feel happy for them and root for them.
Happy ending but the plot is everywhere. After finishing it and seeing all the plots and characters, this could've been a good daily drama. It was written poorly though. A lot of skip-able episodes since a lot of it is stalling the situation.
Well... I decided to come back to this drama as it closes and I still question myself... why?
The writing and the changing plot for this 103 episode drama is just terrible and a mess. We go from finding the missing husband, recovering memory loss, finding lost child, finding the missing grandson, stop from Aura from being taken over, memory loss again, finding Soo Ho's dad, and stop from Aura being taken over again.
Not to mention, the randomness of the villains dropping off and on. We started with Esther as a main villain, then added Nam Joon, then added Ae Ra, dropped Esther and turned her to the good side randomly, added Ha Young to mix (ep 84), and then dropped all the villains just to have 1 powerful villain, Ha Young's adoptive dad (who doesn't appeared until ep 97) WTF?
At least Soo Ho's character was written correctly, probably the only one in this drama.
What they should've done is have Ha Young's adoptive dad as the main villain and not bother to have Ae Ra or Nam Joon continue being evil for this long. These 2 characters should've changed to the good side a long time ago, maybe after being caught trying to obtain Aura at the shareholder meeting, Ae Ra goes to jail and loses her greedy self and just want to take care of her son Nam Joon. Nam Joon still wants power but Ae Ra tries to stop his evil deeds instead of collaborating with him. This would've made the plot a lot better.
But instead, we get the typical, past villains realize what they did was wrong at the very end and the writers want the viewers to pity the villains who are now a weak-minded character and never receive any kind of punishment.
Lmao i thought Veronica Park is a bitch but shes actually really nice and funny
First impression, I wasn't a fan of hers especially the way she talked but she grew on me. Her attitude and the way she reacts to stuff is hilarious to me and the fact that she's so determine to get Dae Joo to like her is funny.
I don't know about you all but ep 16, the final episode, felt very rushed. A lot of things that happened should've happened a lot earlier.
Oh Jin Pyo pretty much doesn't get punished until past halfway of this episode which sucked since it just seemed like he was overpowered as a villain. How can he get away with so many things because of "lack of evidence" when there clearly are evidences against him? I wanted to see more of his punishment but we only got to see like 5 mins of his jail time which is lame because there were too many scenes of his evil deeds. He still acts like he'll get away with it and never changed.
Da Hee confessing the truth that Joon Seok's dad sexually assaulted her should've happened earlier like ep 13. The scenes that happened in the first part of ep 16 would've been shown in ep 13 or 14. That way, I felt like there would've been more of a Sun Ho encounterment with the other characters like, Da Hee meeting with Sun Ho, the bullies like Sung Jae & Young Chul... we didn't even see an apology scene from them. It's almost like they weren't apologetic at all but we'll never know because these scenes weren't shown or filmed. At least we saw character development in Ki Chan in some scenes where he understood what he did was wrong and hurtful and he was truly sorry.
The school staff scenes itself felt rushed too. The vice principal getting fired was sweet for me but it was too short since after seeing all of his hateful and snarky remarks about Sun Ho's family. I wanted to see scenes of an improvement to the school and staff. I mean we kinda saw it when the students start to care about Sun Ho after Soo Ho & Dong Hee's conversation but I would've liked to seem more of the changes. I also would've liked if they made teacher Jin-Woo as vice principal and Myung Sun as principal.
Sun Ho's awakening took too long. If he would've woken up by say ep 12, I think this drama would've flowed a lot smoother and the plot wouldn't felt rushed. Plus, this drama started with Sun Ho and end with Sun Ho. Shouldn't the writers have a couple of episodes of his recovery effort and say lines? That would've been nice. I was also hoping for more of an emotional encountering of Joon Seok when he met Sun Ho again but their meeting was just okay, somewhat bland to me.
The reporter guy sort of lost his role in this last episode too. I thought he was going to make some huge changes to the plot but he only stirred up the anger in Oh Jin Pyo just a little bit. Would've been nice to see him publishing an article about what happen to Oh Jin Pyo but again, this wasn't filmed or shown.
I can't forget Dong Hee & Dong Soo. They're pretty much part of Sun Ho's family now. I almost felt like there should've been a scene where Sun Ho & Soo Ho's parents adopted them since there were so many scenes of them together.
And I guess some side characters never change aka the parents of Ki Chan and Sung Jae.
Those costume outfits on Young Goo are so funny but at least he got some normal clothes now.
And what? That company wants to sent Young Goo to that Diana chick... who destroyed their first robot. She's a crazy psycho! Young Goo's in deep trouble if that happens. Can somebody just send that psycho girl to jail instead for uh... abusing her workers? Well at least she doesn't get much screen time for now because I can't stand her already.
Random but Ep 14 at 13:38, I didn't know there was a feature like that for cars. Definitely good for tight situation if you catch my drift. lol. Product placement. XD
