I reached episode 16 of this drama thinking that it’s the last one, but then I was taken by surprise when I found it coming to an end at a cliffhanger, LOL. So glad I still have four more episodes to watch! This drama is very heartwarming to watch because of how relatable everyone’s struggles are.
Did anyone who has watched Kim Jung Hyun's Time recognize Gil Young's apartment building as the same one in Time, where both Seo Hyun's and Kim Jung Hyun's characters lived? Lol!!
Even though I do not feel particularly attached to any of the characters (lead and minor), the fact that 12+ hours of a horror-thriller keeping me hooked like this with not one boring second says A LOT about how brilliant this drama is!! There are far more boring 2-hours-long-movies that I would stop watching within the first few minutes because of how boring and unoriginal their plots are. Meanwhile, this drama keeps getting better and better with every passing week, and I'm sure it'll have a brilliant finale.
I really hope Ae Rin doesn't push our Kim Bon too far away after what happened today... I really hope he can convey…
Yessssss!!! I really hope this cliche "avoid him then get back on good terms" scenario wouldn't happen in this drama. If the writer does continue the drama in the same unexpected manner that it's been going by thus far, then there's a good chance we won't be disappointed and will be in for a good twist in the coming episodes (hopefully!!!).
My God, this drama just keeps getting better and better! The comedy is over the top. It's been a while since a…
. . . I have a feeling that the female killer Bon mentioned in reference to the Aries card is actually one of the ladies in the KIS main trio, aka Ae Rin's unnies. The younger could be likely the one since she has a knack at identifying facial changes that may have occurred if someone got facial surgery (as with Jin Yong Tae, who was probably an ex-agent of sorts, I guess), and the older one may be the killer since she's the boss and always the one to initiate the information gathering--or, more fittingly called, the spying, LOL.
Or, as I hope would be the case, a new female neighbor will be moving into their building and our neighborhood ahjummas are all clear of charge!
My God, this drama just keeps getting better and better! The comedy is over the top. It's been a while since a kdrama had me actually laughing out loud. To me, the neighborhood KingCastle Information System "KIS" informants are the real stars of the show, LOL.
I do have a bad feeling about one of them though. . .
Terius is a brilliant show. Eps 9&10 are hysterical. They change things up so well in this show.
Agreed!!! It’s one of those dramas that you can’t even guess what will happen next because it’s so unexpected, which is relatively uncommon in kdramas of this genre.
Never read the comments/reviews on a drama before giving it a try yourself and, if at all possible, before completing all of its episodes.
My only regret when it came to giving this drama a shot (So Ji Sub? Heck yeah!) is that I read all the comments here about how this drama is full of plot holes and mostly about SJS babysitting the kids and how annoying the female lead is and bla bla bla. But, man, did I enjoy those first four episodes! And given this interesting preface to the drama, I’m confident it’ll continue in the same enjoyable vein!
With a balance of comedy, mystery, and action, it’s doing more than a fine job of keeping me hooked and looking forward to the rest of it—unlike the initial low expectations I’ve had of it because of others’ opinions on it. And the problem is, I always fall into this same mistake every time! *facepalm*
So judging from the comments, reviews, and awful rating, I don’t think I have a reason to watch the last two episodes and drop it at this. If someone can help me out and just confirm to me that the ending isn’t worth it, that would be great!
I was expecting that sort of ending given the time period and political climate but I was still so heartbroken.…
Me too! I loved each one of the characters dearly, both main and side characters too, and I will miss it for a very long time as well. Not only was every actor’s character portrayal beyond perfect to make them memorable for the viewers, but the great effects associated with every character, more so in their death scenes, were spectacular to watch: when they would zoom in on Dong Mae’s sword cases before they zoom back out to display his scene; the sound of the ticking clock that haunted Hui Seong till his death; Hina’s exquisite taste in fashion and elegance, as when she bought new shoes for her death; and Eugene’s attachment to his ring and all of the other memorabilia he especially collected and saved for his love. I’ve cried so much more at the flashbacks of him gathering them so carefully than when he was being shot to death.
Ah, this drama messed me up so bad, yet I can’t bring myself to hate it!
For me, it was extremely tragic and heartbreaking. When four of the five main characters die rather horrible deaths, I can’t really see how it can be labeled bittersweet, LOL.
I’ve been holding back an explosion of tears because I was watching this with my mother, but my heart is aching so badly right now. I can’t deny I was hoping for a happier or at least a bittersweet ending and was definitely expecting to witness heartbreaking deaths like these since the very first episode. I even thought I was emotionally steeled to watch the drama till the very end. But I was foolish to think that; the execution of every single death scene was perfectly carried out that, try as I might, I was not able to hold back the tears.
The worst (emotionally) death in my opinion is Eugene’s, but for me it was also the best death that was filmed. Perfectly heartbreaking. And each of the other deaths—Yang Hwa’s, Dong Mae’s, Hui Seong’s, and everyone else’s—was perfectly executed as well to be as dramatic and memorable as possible.
But boy am I an emotional wreck right now. I’ve been having so many emotional breakdowns these past few days, and watching this finale definitely didn’t help. If my comment was spoiler-free, I would’ve liked to recommend to my fellow viewers of this drama not to watch the finale if they’re having a hard time right now because it will only take an even more emotional toll on an already-troubled heart and mind.
This drama would’ve probably been MUCH better off without the romance—or at least its early onset. It could’ve totally become much more meaningful towards the end more so than halfway through. The plot twists are foreseeable, though I’m still interested in how they’re uncovered... Well, I’m not sure what I was expecting from this drama when I started it, but I’m really tired of so many 2018 dramas starting strongly and then going downhill halfway through.
How does Gu Dong Mae keep surviving? I thought he would be dead for sure after he fell in the ocean when his boss…
I laughed so hard when I saw him alive AGAIN at the opium den. Honestly, at this point, if the guy dies again I won’t even bat an eyelash in sorrow for him cuz I’ve already done that WAY more than necessary. ????????
I finished watching it without SooHo being in it!!Episodes 13-15(25-30) could be filmed because there was so much…
Agreed! I was ready to drop it by episode 14, but I still felt I should see how it will wrap up, at least for the sake of the great first half of the drama. And I wasn’t disappointed in the least! I was even touched by the wonderful scenes between Seol Ji Yeon and Eun Chae A. Glad I didn’t give up on it!
Sweet and meaningful, with so much feel-good vibes, especially in the last episode. Though not that impactful, I must say. Nonetheless, an entertaining watch!
Despite all of the reasons that scream at me “DON’T WATCH THIS, YOU WILL REGRET IT, YOU ARE NOT EMOTIONALLY STABLE FOR THIS”, I can’t resist watching anything of my favorite Korean actress, Shin Hye Sun!! Defintely will look out for this one. I’ll savor her cute rom-com that’s currently airing before bracing myself for this tragedy. Also, even though I believe SHS is a far better actress than LJS, their pairing defintely interests me.
