I really loved this drama at the beginning but it lost its charm as it moved on. And there were several things that were not answered at the end :(Also I have read many comments saying this drama is slow, but I don't think this is slow. For me Chocolate is what I define as a slow drama. But if you don't like dramas where there are lots of subtle things and hidden dialogues and not direct closures this might not be the drama for you.
They kept introducing so many new characters for the red herrings that at the end when we find out the real villian…
I understand all that you're saying and that is why I said thay it would have made more sense to start killing (the people related to Ah young's rape and suicide, just clarified it up there) after her mom's death since that it would have been undestandable that the event push her over the edge.
This dramas was so confusing about what it wanted to be, sometimes it looked like Circle other like The Guest…
They kept introducing so many new characters for the red herrings that at the end when we find out the real villian it took me a while to recognize who she was. I first tought she was Dong Baek's doctor and after 10 min I recognized her as the politician's secretary. Also I suspected the villian to be a female since the SWAT episode but I didn't understand why they were focusing on a male suspect (when they went to the firefighters station), where did they get that deduction?? Also since they kept involving Dong Baek with the villian and mentioning his past my theory was that the villian was his twin brother, so at the end the reveal wasn't that schoking. Many things in this drama were written as it resulted convenient for the plot, like:The motivation for his sister to begin killing the poeple related to Ah Young's case wasn't that believable. It would have made more sense if she decided to start killing after her mother was killed. How they ended up saying that was Jin Jae Gyu was indeed a shaman and had powers just to justify how he knew about the killings and why he wasn't the killer. And so on...So it had potential but ended up being a wreck for me.

Un review muy completo, felicidades. A mi este drama no me quedo debiendo, esperaba mas de OCN. Pero la actuación de Jang Hyuk estuvo excelente como siempre.
I get the hype for this drama! It's very good!! Interesting, intriguing, fast-paced and very entertaining. I'm…
I'm just gonna think that Ji Soo and Gyu Ri escaped together. This dramas was so well made that you end up rooting for the "bad guys" but then again I do think everyone had their share of responsibility.
I get the hype for this drama! It's very good!! Interesting, intriguing, fast-paced and very entertaining. I'm starting to think that kdramas should consider this short format since lately I feel 16 episode dramas tend to drag a bit. I just wished they didn't left us with that ending that's why I rated a 9.5
Nobody force her to sell her body. She had a family, they had enough money, she just want to buy expensive stuffs…
When she talked with Mr. Lee (when she went to ask him when will they stop the hiatus on their work) he told him he knew she didn't had the need to work because she lives with her aunt and uncle. And that in that case she should quit. And she got mad because he did a background check on her.
The romance was totally unnecessary for me, first time ever I had the Second FL Syndrome!! I have to agree with many people on the comment section, the FL was quite annoying. Kim Sun Ho was brilliant in here, he's definitely suited for comedy I wish he gets more roles with comedy involved. The plot twist with the villian was very far fetched that if they were indeed elite policemen they would have seen through it.
I know comparisions are no good, but once a channel sets a bar at a high standard we hope that the standard is kept. OCN had a very interesting drama with The Guest and since this drama is from the same genre I was expecting the same level of quality. Priest fails to engage, I could't care less about the bad guy nor the hidden story behind the FL and the ML. When we're given cero background for about 6 episodes the viewer can't be expected to be engaged with a story we can not empathize at all because we know nothing about it. I did try to continue but as I already said I'm not interested at all in discovering all the answer to the "mysteries". Dropped at episode 6
It started really well, but the ending was a deception for me. They build up the expectatives so much and in the end they deliver so little. It really got you in the suspense but a the end you got nothing.
Couldn't agree more with you! I fast forwarded from episode 12, I just wanted to finish this and get over it. I also ended up thinking about Just Between Lovers and how that was in fact a great healing drama.
I really liked this drama but I'm angry with the final outcome. It had a great plot twist but I felt betrayed…
It was really unexpected to had Seung Mo as the killer and it was plot twist we never saw coming. But by doing it I felt backstabbed as well even more than An or Jae in. Honestly I felt they under reacted to the betrayal, I know Seung Mo's childhood was crap but for me it doesn't justify turning into a monster just to save his mom. And I didn't like how hs justified himself saying he was born a monster because that was not true, he decides to become one. I was so mad they killed Ji Soo because I wanted to see her finally reaching Seung Mo. But when it was finally confirmed he was the killer and the arsonist I was glad she was dead because that's something that would have been unbereable for her. And Seung Mo didn't deserve her love or warmth.
Here's the second episode: https://fanitha.livejournal.com/10062.html
