"problematic" 😂🤣😅

What's problematic would be Akira dead by suicide if Kanda hadn't come along.
Your comment is unintentionally hilarious in that you announce how you don't need moral teachings spelled out for you, but then you ask where the moral lesson was in the show?

"problematic" 🙄🙄🙄

What laws should be applied that would put Kanda in jail?
Please explain in detail.
Also, Kanda hooking up with Akira saved Akira's life.
Try watching the show again with your MDL Church Girl glasses off.

Should everyone end up dead?
If you think this show was primarily about the student/tutor thing, you weren't paying attention.

hmmm...it's SUPPOSED to be "messy," except that his relationship with the tutor saved the student's life, so you know, maybe it wasn't so messy after all.

There was no "grooming."
Secondly, if the tutor were removed from this story, what would be left?
Oh, I know, the student, who was suicidal before hooking up with the tutor, would jump off a building - the end.

First, you need to rewatch the show and pay attention.
Second, you need to realize that the world isn't black and white, it's as gray as can be.
Third, consider scrolling comments. There are hundreds of them about the Akira/Kanada relationship.

Watched the pilot, which is better than 90% of standard-format shows, but the vertical aspect remains a hinderance. What are studios trying to prove with this stupidity?

The problem was put in perfect focus by the well-executed tracking shot of an arrow in closeup flying to its target: only about 1/3 of the arrow was visible because of the lame narrow screen.
wtf, people?

That said, when I can find this stitched together by some kind soul into a one-into-the-next, single episode format, I will be back to watch.
I can't imagine how good a show would have to be to get me to do the 2-minute-stop-start thing for the duration.

ooh...this sounds good.
A hot, steamy student/teacher affair: that will bring all the shrieking MDL Church Girls out of the woodwork, and I'll be here for it. :)
Any word on when this debuts?

Episode 9:
Our little boy is growing up right before our eyes.
Also...he takes off his shirt and it's like a miniature Michelangelo's David. 😛😯😏😍

Next week looks terrifying😮😯🤐

Episode 6:
YES! 😍
Watanabe Shu's acting in that scene was feature-film-worthy and deeply moving.
I have snot crust on my upper lip to prove it.

Lord, these two are a joy together.
Excellent casting resulting in excellent chemistry resulting in excellent hotness.
Watanabe's dimples slay me every episode.

The quiet support they are receiving is deeply moving, too.

Great show.

That's when I first encountered him, too.
He's got an unusual but magnetic vibe.
I like that he's not a classically pretty boy, too.

I'll watch anything Koo Kyo Hwan is in.
One of Korea's very best actors, and getting better all the time.

Wow.
This was full of surprises...in a good way.
I'm left not knowing what to make of this as far as intention/final product goes.
Production values are very good.
The actors seem like seasoned professionals.
I love how, when I finally concluded the client was an irredeemable psychopath, everything that went before was upended in the final scene of episode 3, and I got a glimpse of what's driving all that anger/sorrow.

More than anything, I like that I don't know what to make of it.
Was this melodrama? Serious, short character study? Porn?
I say yes to all of that.
Well...not really porn...the pixelation prevented it from being that, but if I had to guess, I think the sex was unsimulated.
I'm a fan of art that defies categorization, so hey, I'm a fan of this...piece.

I am not, however, a fan of shaved pubes, so that took me out of things a bit. 😛😜

This will stick with me for awhile.
Right now: 9/10

I wonder what the intention was in breaking this into three eps, rather than making it a short film?

Why are you spewing these spoilers all over the thread?
Use the button please.

Why would the "Chink" kill the dad and bury him in the mountains?
If it looks like a murder, which it definitely does now, what good does that do the Chink?
The son won't get the insurance payout, which means the Chink won't get his $150M cut, no?
If he doesn't care about the money and just wants to see the son go to jail, why would that be?
And why bury the body in the first place?
Why not leave it lying in the alley, knowing it will look like a deliberate killing?
And how did the cops find the body and dig it up in half of one day?
OK, so the Chink called in the tip and he has the recording of the son, but why did he go to all this trouble just to end up with no money?

Also, what's up with the burger joint worker and the "he didn't go to the bathroom even once..." comment?
What difference does that make?

Help, please.

Can someone help me out with episode one involving the debtor?
Questions behind spoiler button below.
Thanks.

I enjoy watching Yoo Jin Seok play oily characters.
Other than him though, this is quite dull.

6/10

The last episode is sweet, but everything leading up to that is low-key, low-energy, low-stakes to the point of boredom.
If you suffer from insomnia, this would be a great watch before bed.

I like Kwak Geon Hee's masculine energy.

6.5/10

If they were secure in it, there would be no show, isn't that the case? 😊

Hilariously bad, but not bad enough to be worthy of a hate-watch.
The acting...lol
I'm disappointed because the plot, as described by the commenter below, sounds like exactly the kind of angsty, evil, crazy-ass madness I enjoy.

Dropped
1/10
