I would say relationships between two couples of the prosecutor and the defender's sidekicks are lowkey romantic. But we don't see anything specific. It's just a cute addition to the main storyline and a rare moment of levity.
I like Lee Yi Dam, but I have seen her in three projects (Artificial City, The Queen Who Crowns and this), and she has played the same character, give or take, in each of them -- a jealous SFL/recurring character who wants to take the FL's status, fame, position, even man, but eventually is discarded or just dies. I hope Lee Yi Dam will avoid such typecast and get some other roles thanks to her agents or acting chops in the future.
I have a better question. Who was the kissing man? I thought the woman would be Ha Ji Won's character, the FL, and the kissing man would be the ML, her husband. But I am not sure.
To be honest, I don't understand such decisions about not releasing shows with problematic actors (e. g. Second Signal, Knock Off). Hundreds of professionals worked on those productions to make living, including dozens of actors, and their efforts are in vain because of one bad or allegedly bad person.
Characters of Ryeo Un and Sung Dong Il look like a father and a son here. I mean their eyes, cheekbones, hair. I am pretty sure it was unitentional, it's funny, but a bit distracting.
Why are ratings collapsing? That's shocking. Yes, the show is uneven. It's rushing, because the story should have been longer, sometimes one needs to suspend their disbelief, like in scenes in the fish market in Japan, and Jang Gun Yeong can't catch Baek Ki Tae for now, so they made the show a bit repetitive. But it's not like other K-dramas with better ratings didn't suffer from similar issues. It's definitely better than most of K-dramas having 8 and more here.
I mean, duh... It's natural for a human being to wish having a couple and being a parent. What a clown timeline we are living at, when such a statement goes to news headlines!
2nd half of this year. They are filming season 2 now. They are supposed tol finish it in February or early March and, I guess, release it between August and December.
BIBI was arguably the best part of Gangnam B-side. I don't know why she doesn't get more roles. Even here it seems like a merely supporting role at best, like the main character's possible love interest or something,
seriously the bad guy get away and the good guy get put in jail? nah piss me off
Well, the story would have to continue in some way in part 2, and the audience needed a cliffhanger, so it was a bit predictable. I mean aybe not the specific situation, but the direction. Of course, the main "good guy" needed to lose, so he could endure and win in the next half of the show.
It's a bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off for them.
This is just sad. But I guess it's relevant for South Korea and the current state of affair.
