#1. There is no way that Min Ji, after the hell she just went through to escape that freezer storage space, and knowing her life was in peril at any turn, would then waltz right out to present herself under street lights on a public highway, begging for a ride.
She is far too smart for that, which is why that plot device is incredibly lame.

We all knew what was going to happen next, and then it did. :P

It always shocks me that writers/directors don't fix such obvious stupidities.
There would have been a hundred other ways to get her into Ju's clutches, that would have been believable.

# 2. Agent Kim knows his kid may still be alive but freezing to death trapped in a cold storage warehouse, but he takes time to leisurely discuss with 66's little brother the circumstances of his brother's death and related philosophical issues.
Not.

Episode 5:
I'm a mess after the first 15 minutes. (sniffs, blows nose)
That little child actress has a major career ahead of her if the Knetz don't get to her first.
Not only is she breathtakingly beautiful, but she's an incredible actor.
There wasn't a single false note in those scenes.

It's hard to sympathize with someone freezing to death if they won't at least put on their hood, zip up their sweatshirt, and button their coat.

This show rocks, which is why the few missteps annoy me:

Thanks, Vicky.

So, does the plot address why Sun is wearing a wig? :D

But...that wig. ;)

Thanks, Rea.
That's kind of you.

Or I could keep watching and commenting just to annoy you.

It's a marketing strategy.
They see dragging out the releases as a tactic to increase word-of-mouth and screen-to-screen publicity, thus increasing viewership.
It must work, as the once-a-week thing is becoming standard.
I long for the days when all eps would drop at once.

hmmm...critiquing, if it includes negative observations, is..."complaining"..?

A common rhetorical tactic of fangirls who see only what they want to see.

Or, the problem could be dumbasses in the audience who think five bullet points is a dissertation, because their brains have shriveled to the size of peas.

With the internet a permanent feature of our lives, toxic fan culture isn't going away anytime soon. It brings out and magnifies the worst in most people.
There have been "scandals," rumors, hateful media coverage, etc., ever since people began entertaining other people thousands of years ago, but now it's all multiplied by a factor of 1,000.

If I looked at Weibo, I'd probably lose my mind.
I'm older than dirt, so I knew fan culture before and after the Internet.
What it has done to us is horrifying.

The Killer Knetz Kommentz below are a prime example of the sick, parasocial relationships Koreans and others form with celebs.
Even sicker is how the celebs, their agencies, and the media feed the disease.

Hi Knetz.

Hi, Knetz.

You have no idea what you're talking about, so zip it.

Of course, but maybe it's something in Korea's water supply...they just don't seem to grasp that this is a problem.

It's a classic element of Korean fans' parasocial relationships with K-celebs, and the commenters here have zero self-awareness about it.
It's also part of what leads to shit like celebrity suicides.

Parasocial relationships are a real thing.

He probably got tired of her one facial expression, the one she uses in all her dramas.
Happy, sad, frustrated, angry, elated, it was always the same look and he just couldn't take it anymore.
That's what "sources" "allegedly" "reported," anyway.

It is so weird that Korean talent agencies make formal announcements about their actors/idols' private lives.
All I want to know is when they'll be releasing their sex tapes.

Episode 1:
Sun holds his cig like a lady.
Am I going to have to look at that cheap-ass 1990s JP wig through nine more episodes?
Are his lips real, or is that collagen?
Thai BLs never disappoint with the amateur acting.
Nor do the commenters here, always expecting the adaptation to follow the source material, word for word. lol
