It's mostly because of gore during autopsies scenes and some violence. There was a nude body of the victim during the autopsy once.

So it's Taken, but K-drama, isn't it? So Ji Sub has a very particular set of skills and so on?

OK, now give us Trigger's release date, Netflix.

I guess that's why the murder was commited in that way. He wanted to be sure the case would be assigned to his daughter, because he saw her TV interview and knew she handled the most difficult cases. That's why there were some irregularities how the victim's body decayed, the thread, the body was essentially demonstrated, but the place was clean. Then the father even dealt with his daughter's subordinate, so it would become personal for the NFS staff and even more complicated.

Yes, that's her father. He has a laundry and/or dry cleaning service, the plastic thing are just wrapping for clients' clothes. He said he had tried to deliver the murdered student her clothes, but she wasn't at home.

Yes, it is, at least for now. Or maybe she did do something to her father in her childhood and has considered herself a murderer all those years.

Their relationships were the best part of the show.

Remember the guy, a professional sportsman, who was murdered in a nightclub at the beginning of episode 1. The FL's chief wants to start a political career, so he was asked to close the case as a simple assault without drugs being involved. The murderer was under drugs and, IIRC, the victim was too. The FL refuses to lie, she says. "Documents will be from my table, my name will be in the documents, what if something happens." It's not the exact quote, but those words were said.

The FL's coworker, or, I guess, her subordinate, was asked by the director to do it. The nightclub's case was assigned to the young guy directly bypassing the team's head, the FL. He had already tried to sabotage the FL's work in that case dragging the drug test, and then the director ordered him to handle the case as its own and ignore his team's head promising the promotion. The guy said the FL he was going to close the case without any drug investigation and sign the documents as a main forensic expert, because the promotion was what that mattered for him. The FL was furious, someone heard the quarrel, the rest is known.

By the way, that storyline continued in episode 3. The guy wasn't able to handle the case for obvious reasons, and the FL still refused to close the case. The director essentially suspended her as a team's head and made the younger girl the acting team's head despite her lack of education and experience (like, you have your medical master degree and a few years of experience, you will be fine, just take simpler cases and ask an advice if you don't understand something). She doesn't want to do it and is in panic mode. I haven't seen episode 4 yet, but I guess the boss is going to make the girl to close the sportsman's case without drug being mentioned and put her name in all documents, effectively setting her up for a possible scandal in the future. I think either the FL, or her sinister father is going to intervene, and the future of the director doesn't seem bright for me.

Park Yong Woo has strong Kevin Spacey energy in this K-drama, at least for me. I kinda expect his character suddenly using that specific voice and accent. It's his face's shape, haircut, and his demeanor is mild and a bit charming, but one could feel his hidden dark side.

Finally.

But what's up with K-dramas and 11 episodes per season? It has been at least three such dramas in the recent past: Dear Hongrang, Nine Puzzles, now Low Life. I'm not complaining, it's just a weird number of episodes.

It will be tomorrow, on June 16th. I guess it's like Disney+ does with FX shows in the US. They are usually released on Tuesday evening, and Disney+ releases it on Wednesday.

Here for Lee Sung Min and Song Kang Ho.

I thought JTBC was going to release the show on September 6 or 13. How come is it for 2026 now?

In my opinion, Disney+ didn't believe in Nine Puzzles. Hence, they made the weird schedule (6+3+2) to wrap it pretty quickly, for 15 days, and barely promoted. However the show just became huge. Personally I don't like a few final episodes and the climax, but ratings are great. I think Disney+ has understood they had a sleeper hit in hands, so they are trying to milk it and help the word-of-mouth the show has been getting.

Isn't it time to release a poster and a proper trailer? Probably it's not early July (July, 4), but mid-to-late July.

It's almost a weekend, and there is still no any promos.

Unfortunately, you was right. They really don't want us to get distracted from Squid Game 3.

So it IS Slavic/Slavonic (literally the title) and Dvořák. Thanks.

The housekeeper also treats I Na kinda badly, coldly. Sometimes she seems to be judging, even condemning. I wouldn't tolerate it from the hired help.

Who knows what classic-esque piece younger I Na listens? Shazam doesn't find it. The melody sounds really Slavic, so maybe it's some Russian composer or, for example, Antonín Dvořák, a Czech one.
