People often kill each other for sillier reasons. For example, drunk people.

It has several average crime/detective thriller scenes: few fights and murders, a few crime scenes with the police and prosecution, some surveillance and stalking.

No, but it was written then. I guess, the writer had just got an idea at the moment. Song Hye-kyo and Han So-hee were supposed to play female leads in 2022-2023, but eventually refused. So the show was going through development hell for a while. Filming eventually started in July 2024.

> What you think of him as a member of the public is irrelevant

Actually it's the first and the main thing that matters and is relevant for any person doing business in entertainment. If enough members of the public think the person is a criminal, or just did repulsive things, or just unlikeable, they don't fit. They are just unsuitable for entertainment business, they don't entertain people, but make them either indifferent or even angry. A performance, a show will be a disaster, a scandal instead of making money for investors.

Disney+ doesn't really care about the actor's guilt, but the company does care about public perception of its actions. Like you wrote, it's business, not a charity. If you aren't handsome enough, or your voice isn't pleasant enough (and I don't even mean singing, just a manner of speech), or you aren't a decent person enough, or you are decent, but you aren't careful enough to avoid questionable situations, or you are just unlucky enough, it means you are done. Show business is a lucrative, but very competitive industry, you misstep, you are out.

And the person's fans trying to shame public or make people feel guilty about their opinion don't do good for their idol. Arrogant words about "your opinion on this actor doesn't matter" just generate more hatred toward him. It won't help him to return at all. Quite the opposite.

I don't discuss specific circumstances or details of the case. I neither have enough data, nor I care, because it doesn't matter. Public opinion is the most relevant thing in this case.

We don't see the second guy in the truck. They don't show him to us, even in the end of the episode, a tree covered the guy. Why? Why did Dong Su try to kill himself after he had remembered his hit-and-run "accident" (actually an assassination attempt)?

Could this guy be his son? So it's not just the illness (which exists too). It's also Dong Su's mind trying to protect him, and occasionally he realizes everything and tries to kill himself, because he can't live with the fact his son faked his death and tried to kill him? Maybe the guy watching dogfighting and speaking Thai(?) is his son who has been a member of an international gang (fixing matches and whatnot) abroad? That would be a really dark twist.

Well, that's a cliffhanger. You (we) are supposed to think about it and wait the next episode.

From post-credit lectures one could make a conclusion the show was an educational project. The network cooperated with law enforcement agencies or just executed a government contract. It was reasonably popular, so the customer in some government office probably said. "It was a good one, do another one." So someone literally ordered to make season 2.

1, That's why I wrote "kinda." It's not a hardcopy, but similarities are here.
2. In my opinion, if one kills people regularily and doesn't do it for self-defense, it means something is wrong with one's head. It doesn't matter if killing is made for gratification or for money. Perhaps, taking people's lives just for money is more repulsive and even scaring. So a contract killer is also a serial killer.

She is a brilliant actress, one of the best in Korea. Sol Kyung Gu and Jeon Do Yeon were both in one scene in Good News on Netflix recently. Jeon Do Yeon was incredible and just stole it. It was absolutely hilarious and deadly satire. She gives very nuanced performance in every thing I've seen her at.

The dude is good. I'm going to try and watch this show for Kim You Jung though.

So it's kinda Flower of Evil, but gender roles of the main couple are reverted.

I respect Kim You Jung for thinking outside the box and taking risque and challenging role instead of repeating same old, same old things (like an average cute romance/melodrama character). It shows her talent and sharps her acting skills both. And she met the challenge perfectly.

It could. But it may be part of bargaining from both sides, whether it's the network or the cast and crew. We'll see ratings. I doubt SBS would want to let the show having 21% ratings go.

It's pretty hard to binge 16 episodes per 1 h 10 min each though. It's like two days of doing nothing else except watching the show. I like they don't dump the entire season and show two episodes per week instead.

It's written in the top right angle under "Details," The final episode is set to be released on January 10.

Sol Kyung Gu and Jeon Do Yeon were both in one scene in Good News on Netflix recently. He played one of the main roles and she was in one scene. Unfortunately, they didn't interact in that scene, but Jeon Do Yeon was incredible and just stole it. It was absolutely hilarious and deadly satire. Fortunately, she neither did slapstick comedy, nor overacted like a lesser actress might have done, although she did have some farcic note in her performance, but it was subtle, just enough. I have a lot of hopes for this movie.

Well, Dear X is doing it pretty great. They explained the FL and did give her sobbing melodramatic backstory (and both actresses, a child and an adult were/are great), but they don't justify her.

This trailer looks much better than the first teaser a few weeks ago. That teaser didn't sell me the drama, this trailer very much did. It's less makjang-y (actually not makjang-y at all), but at the same time it feels like stakes are really high. One could see there are some material for the good cast to work with, something to chew in terms of the script. Jeon Do Yeon is a queen and she will be shining for sure in this show.

Unfortunately, no, not just for 1st half of 2026. For example, season 2 of A Shop for Killers is set to release in 2nd half of 2026, it's written on Disney Plus Korea official account in X.
