dramalover123

feels like a spin off instead of a sequel ???

Why is Nam Soon’s behaviours, tone of voice and mannerisms like a 12 year old? And why does a mature and adult police officer think this is attractive (instead of referring her to mental health services)?

Tanya’s dad is driving me up the wall.

the person who broke his hand during the handshake was the first guy to die on Franks list. Check for yourself. Kanghoon’s father is a different actor and he doesn’t have the same vibe… he doesn’t seem arrogant and cruel - he seems the opposite haha

agreed! I love the subtle hints sprinkled all over 😌

A moment of silence for the injected misogyny on screen towards a female superhuman with the perfect skills for a spy - especially one that gathers intelligence. For someone who treats people as tools, the leader of department was unable to recognise one of the best tools in his hands - because she is a woman.

This fantasy drama is giving slice of life. Someone add it to the tags pls :)

I think you’ve misunderstood my thoughts. I don’t disagree with finding new love. It’s the way you do it. If he was ready to give up and move on, he should’ve done it with respect to his current relationship and marriage. He has responsibilities and duties to fulfil as part of his family unit. He is responsible for himself, a child and a woman who is clearly experiencing mental difficulties.

He does not take responsibility for anyone, including himself (he’s not honest about his own feelings or intentions). He is just a disrespectful oaf, hiding in the sewage of his own cowardice. If I remember correctly, he gaslights her, criticises her, offers no support (and pretends to be doing his best), whilst having an affair on the side. In normal circumstances affairs are a terrible thing; in the current context it’s absolutely disgusting behaviour.

All he had to do was tell his wife that he cannot continue this way and he’s not cut out for the pressure that comes with living with a partner with mental health. Separate, divorce and move on with a new person. Find love!

But people like him are cowards and prefer to manipulate and hurt another person, justify wrongdoings, secure a new partner and wait till their current “official” partner finds out or wait till they are secure and ready to tell the truth (with the new partners emotional support). It’s all an ego trip. He did that for himself, to feel better about himself, to justify himself and to protect himself. Not once was he considerate to his family, he came first no matter what. He’s only willing to be there if everything is happy and bright (and this doesn’t exist).

No-one is living a fairytale life where everything is perfect. Everyone has to go through hardships. If it gets too much for you, and you no longer feel you can continue to love and care about someone else, then it’s your responsibility to end things before moving on to something else.

Was also thinking this is following Death Note script haha

I was also thinking how comes the guys get off the hook. Isn’t it worse because they’re actually married whereas she was single? Also i’m confused at how Adultery is worse than all the rapist murderers lined up in prison. Why was she chosen of all people. That’s when I started to realise something was wrong.

I’m on episode 4 and I think in this story the government, military and basically everyone has submit to the ideology proposed by the cult. The ex-leader made sure to gradually gather influential people from all sectors in his cult and the demonstration in episode 3 was to prove his false ideology once and for all. It wasn’t hard to convince the general public because most people are taught from a young age that if you’re bad, you go to hell and if you’re good, you go to heaven. All he needed was a supernatural phenomenon to cement this idea. Its very interesting to find out later that there is no reason behind these monsters and he was making it all up. It’s strange how the “Angel” mentions their date and time of death and threatens them to go to hell, implying that they are sinners. I will miss Yoo Ah In onscreen though!

That was so natural and sweet.

This is amazing news!!

What a beautifully written comment Joy!

Imagine being called an extremist for standing up against the ongoing oppression of Women.

Oh wait, I don’t need to lol

Agreed!

I have a lot more to say, but I’ve already written an essay lol

The FL finds out her family secret and comes to the conclusion that her step mother should be given a chance to live happily despite her step mother actively lying and making the FL out to be a crazy person, even taking her cheating husbands side to threaten custody of her child. Perhaps she shouldn’t be murdered but a restraining order or just moving away from such a terrible person would be reasonable. The FL’s conclusions and behaviour is that of an abused child and a vulnerable person; it is also evidence of someone who acts after being crushed under societal pressures. Healthy people have boundaries, she doesn’t exhibit any. Not with her husband, not with her family and not even in her workplace. Everyone pushes her boundaries till her mental health suffers and she lets it go.

As for our favourite character Lee Eun So, he was abused as a child and acted out of trauma, whilst also being manipulated by his psycho brother who projected his guilt and violent tendencies onto other victims and perpetrators. Everyone acts like he’s an anomaly or rotten apple who went crazy because of child abuse; not everyone turns to murder right? but once again he is evidence that the system failed survivors of child abuse and how vulnerable these people are even in adulthood.

Then we have the three detectives that are 2D characters, playing cat and mouse with the villain. We are presented with hints about their upbringing and lifestyle but nothing is ever explored so we don’t know what past experiences drive their current behaviours and lifestyles. Also the ML is too rough towards suspects (even when unprovoked) for someone who talks about keeping within the boundaries of the law. He often abused his authority as a police officer.

The husband is one of the worst characters we are introduced to but he just gets away with everything unquestioned and others even support him. Whilst our FL is blamed for being incapable of supporting herself and the family in times of extreme hardship as if she is the sole caretaker of their relationship, household and child.

She is pregnant, working, taking care of him, their daughter and her sick sister but she deserves to be cheated on because she broke down after having a car accident and struggling to deal with the trauma of killing another child?

He even proudly takes advantage of the child’s background to dodge the law and then when she questions the morality of his actions he begins his gaslighting and talks about their family and maintaining the relationship (while he is cheating on the side).

Instead of supporting her through this extremely harsh and traumatic experience he takes that as his cue to cheat on her and criticise her at every opportunity he gets. He says she is selfish for not thinking about him and their daughter. I wonder if he’s thinking about his family while cheating on her during a time of extreme hardship. Then when their daughter goes missing, he gives her a dirty look and walks away as if he is also not responsible for a child they conceived together? Then when she has a miscarriage from the shock and lack of support it’s her fault?

He even blames her for having a break down when her sister had an accident. What happened to love and support through sickness and health? These are signs of an emotional abuser. He does everything to justify his wrongdoings and her “mother” and people around her make it seem like he has a point. When his behaviour can never be justified.

Aka all of this is brushed under the carpet and she is blamed for her useless husband running away to another woman every time she goes through a hard time and cannot support the household. As if he can’t afford to get a nanny?? If anything she is literally the only sane person in this situation.

With his logic if he were to be diagnosed with cancer, lose a limb and have a mental breakdown she has every right to cheat on him because he should hold it together for the sake of the family :) he should also go to work, take her on dates and make time to play with their daughter on regular occasions or she should find a new man.

I feel like I watched a different drama from the reviewers. The premise is excellently built but then it all goes down hill. Characters are not explored and there’s this whole argument about morality and justice. This drama takes some extremely heavy topics and explores them very poorly, often skipping and changing subject. Here are some of my thoughts:

I was annoyed that the Lee Sun Woo aka Eun Ho’s father’s brother in law didn’t fully address the fact that he cheated on his sister. Their relationship wasn’t even strained after he found this out. Instead he focused on the issue of Eun Ho. It’s hypocritical and it’s really sad that he doesn’t even care about his own sisters well-being. Her spouse cheated on her and they’ve been in a relationship since high school. That’s so messed up. They acted like it’s no big deal and at the end of the drama he calls him family and practically let’s him have the foundation. I mean he’s been relying on his wife’s money to get this far and he had the nerve to cheat on her. They just glossed over the whole thing and it’s quite disappointing. Otherwise it’s an awesome drama.
