Hmm. Just finished episodes 3 and 4, maybe this is the writer first drama and that's why the script felt choppy or maybe the webtoon is like this. Can anyone remind me that besides the eyes enhancement Gi Bum got, did he get enhanced in anything else? How can he move so fast or punch so hard if all he got was eyes enhancement? I understands Tae Woong's strength came from his bionic arms, but it seems like Gi Bum got a full body enhancement instead of just his eyes..??
The transitioning of one scene to another is also a matter of concern, did the drama cut off some scenes from the webtoon or something? I know sometimes they do that, but is it the same in this case? Because that can only explain why it felt..odd.
I guess I'm also getting confused sometimes because I found out there's differences between the subs from VIU…
All this time, I thought they had to go to a location...>.> i.e maybe a location of his Dong Baek first home or his Mother's murdered. Cho Won ah Cho Won, where are you..
Currently watching Memorist. Was good start, now kinda confusing. Maybe after the drama ends, the Eraser can erase my memory from the drama too...Lol.
I saw Rurounin Kenshin live action a while back, they were all amazing. Best sword fight scenes I have ever seen, in any movies or drama. Episode 4 and 5 is supposedly coming out this Summer or this year. Super excited for that!
Recently finished Crashed Landing, it's a nice drama to binge, great acting overall. Also the popular Itaewon Class. Great acting by the leads. Making me looking forward to Kim Dami's new future project.
You should definitely give The Longest Day In Chang'an a try again if you have time. I thought that the drama premise was super interesting. That whole 48 episodes drama supposedly be set in 'one' day event time. So all the bruises and scars that the characters got, still show even to episode 48, which I think its amazing to keep that level of details throughout 48 long episodes. The production value is crazy! Fight sequences are extremely well choreographed, too.
I might go back and watch Goblin again...just because of Kim Go Eun and Goog Yoo..also OST and bromace.
So confused now, after watching the latest episode. Essentially Sunmi and Dong Baek been going around in circles and danced to the 'Eraser's' rhythm. The writers got two really competent people to look really incompetent, being lead by the string of the Eraser...
1. If Dong Baek is the Eraser, he must have multiple personality disorder. 2. Who killed his Mom? Why did they spared him? Why did they made him witness his mother's murdered? Or was it a fabricated memory (if himself is the Eraser) 3. Who was the person that Dong Baek's chased on the hospital roof top? 4. If the drama deviate from the webtoon, anyone could be the Eraser...which makes it super confusing.
Just finished the drama. I liked it. Although it was definitely felt weird during the last few episodes. Felt like they were trying to make it more thrilling or fit the narrative of 'kneel before me'- to make it more dramatic. When Saeroyi was first convicted and met with the gangster hyung-nim, I thought he will become the underworld boss and take revenge for his Dad..lol. This drama showcase more of a human-relation and business aspects, which is also not bad. I am not a fan of continuous time-skip. It became 'fill in the blank' and let us use our imagination for events that might, could, should, or never happened during the time-skip. In movies, I guess they had no choice since time is limited, but drama should avoid it if necessary. Maybe that's why some viewers were not fond of Saeyori and Yiseo relationship. With the time-skip, we really have no idea what daily routine their relationship had blossomed into, same with Soo-Ah.
All great actors always acted as the villain. Yoo Jae Myung, wow! I felt a sense of pity for his character towards the end. Saeyori was a heart-demon for him through many years. His son took Saeyori's Dad's life, while Saeyori took Geun Won's love, Geun Soo's love, Dae Hee's company near the end and totally destroyed his conviction. I guess you called it karma. Both Soo-Ah and Yiseo are strong independent woman. They firmly stick to their beliefs; Soo-Ah to be independent and freedom, Yiseo solely believes in Saeyori and willing to do anything for him.
Kim Dami reminds me of Kim Go Eun, both are excellent actresses that transitioned from movie to drama. Had to go and watch The Witch: Subversion. I liked it. Can't wait for part 2.
It was an enjoyable drama, even with all the weird shenanigans. You should definitely watch it if you can. I don't think it's a waste of time. (:
People who have already read the webtoon novel said the culprit is Baek himself (in comments down below , a few…
If that's the case, it's like the movie Split. Multiple personality disordered. But then...who killed his Mom if that was the case? I'd like to see Yoo Seung Ho act evil for a change. Hahaha.
Okay so I've been thinking about these same questions and I came up with a few points.1. Min jae gyu has a step…
1) That's the point I don't really get. He was confronting Dong Baek and said "A boy will die because of you, since you touched him. Can you prevent that?" And Jae Gyu took the little boy. Now, if he was innocent like it was revealed at the end of episode 8, why did he go through all the trouble misleading the police and Dong Baek instead of just give the boy protection...? That story line did not make sense at all. I think the boy's mother's memory has been altered some how, I just don't know who did it.
2) I think she has memory of her father killing an animal, not the mother. The scene where it showed Jae Gyu tied up his wife and her lover, I believe that scene was a flashback-what if scenario instead of someone actually saw it as it is. Because the mother said that her Grandmother was so sure that Jae Gyu killed his wife, but no evidence. So I think the scene of him tying the wife and her lover up was a "what if-scenario", again, super confusing and misleading as to why the writer goes through all that trouble and at the end of episode 8 just to say "That's not our guy".
3) It will be funny if the killer was a woman all along. When Jae Gyu hinted to Sun Mi that the masked killer stabbed her father 17 times for the 17 deaths he wrongly caused due to his corruption, I was thinking maybe the serial killer was one of the many person that Sun Mi's father screwed over. Since Jae Gyu said Sun Mi's father's corruption destroyed many family lives. Someone from those family might become the murderer.
4) Then that means the real killer is manipulating Jae Gyu. If Jae Gyu wasn't the killer himself already. But then that brings me back to the beginning as to why writers made Jae Gyu extremely suspicious for 2 episodes just to say he isnt the bad guys....ahhhhh. What are the writers thinking, it is not making sense.
Finished 7-8. I think I just got disrespected by the writers...I got on a roller-coaster and when its about to drop, I realized instead of going down, the cart is running flat indefinitely.
Good: Really love Sun Mi's deduction skills so far, she's so competent. Jo Han Chul, a veteran actor acting as Min Jae Gyu, a crazy? psycho. Wow! I love it.
Maybe-Bad: Why did the writers made Jae Gyu the supposedly 'good guy' at the end of episode 8? All he had to do was tell the police that he's protecting the boy and his(the boy) family in the beginning and save us the wild goose chase. Instead of acting all crazy to strongly hint that himself is the killer? Because that scenario dragged on for 2 episodes, at the end of episode 8, we learned nothing. If Jae Gyu was innocent, why spent 2 episodes of build up pointing to him - just to say "This isn't our guy". If Jae Gyu wasn't innocent, who the hell is the masked guy, and we still learned nothing about the masked guy besides that he's a serial killer.
I really hope the writer give us some good explanation the next episodes, because if this masked guy is the main villain, I don't know how they can drag it on for 8 more episodes.
Also, please tell Dong Baek next time to not pull out a knife in your chest after being stabbed. You'll bleed out to death faster that way. Imagine a water bottle, you stab it with a rod, sure some water will leak out but the effort is slow. Now pull that rod out and voila--it became a fire hose. Don't be a fire hose.
Saw Lee Se Young in Doctor John and really liked her acting. Glad she's also in this drama. Not sure why people find her character annoying or hate it, but I simply thought her character had common sense and intelligence, not many male or female leads has. She goes by the book, looks at facts, and begins her investigation from there. From beginning until now, she shows remarkable skills in investigative area, but not so much in safety..lol
If she's the type to go by logic and reasoning, Dong Baek goes by intuition. This is understandable as he has supernatural power. They compliment each other well.
If Dong Baek wasn't such a pretty boy or the main lead, but a side character, based on what it is showed people wouldn't shamed Sun Mi for suspecting him. They'll probably agreed with her that he's the main suspect or the killer. (ep 5-6)
In the second episode, the hacker dude, Lee Gwang Cheol, actually closed all the CCTV's and erased all records…
Yes, you're absolutely correct. But with 2 'ghost' members, I would of been more careful with that..if any chance the organization or team that Choi Geun Cheol created would be exposed to the world. All is for naught.
This is essentially Bad Guys; Vile City that are on steroids.
Main character supposed to be 'dead', his colleague Song Mina is also supposed to be dead. But they just waltz right in an assemblyman's party without a disguise. CCTV anyone? You guys have all that cool tech...at least try..
Not sure how I feel about this, have to watch the next 2 episodes.
Just recently finished the drama. If you didn't know, this is the same writer for You Who Came From The Star, so on almost every episode, there's a light-heart clip at the end after the credits. Don't skip it!
Seems like this write has a habit of having their female leads yearning for her loved one. Besides the fact that Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin were fantastic in their role, Seo Ji Hye and Kim Jung Hyun were no pushover as second leads.
The writer did my boy Seung Jun so, so dirty...everyone love a good happy redemption story, well apparently not this writer. The ending felt bittersweet, and left a really bad taste in my mouth. It was such a cheap shot at pulling viewer's heart-string and pitied. The ending episode of Seo Dan and Seung Jun felt rushed, lazy, and overall not making any sense. Seo Dan endured 7 years of one-sided love, finally found her purpose and was able to open up her feelings, then they went and killed him. Seung Jun endured that many years of on the run, trying to make a comeback, he made mistakes but redeemed it when he helped Capt. Ri, but he's still dead. He doesn't need to die for Seo Dan to find her purpose in life or overcome her disturbed heart. She has already found it. It's Seung Jun. Their ending scene were so abrupt and doesn't do them justice at all. On the the last scene where Seo Dan rounded up Seung Jun partner (Park Su Chang) and vowed to kill all of his enemies...if she had that kind of power, there's no reason she couldn't have just done the same as when he was alive. If Seung Jun death was supposed to make Seo Dan becoming a 'strong' aspiration woman, then I don't feel that at all. I pitied her instead. She was already strong and resolute, her heart was just heavy, and now it's heavier. This doesn't even make more sense when throughout the show, Seung Jun was the one who actually MENTORED her heart.
Crash Landing on You. More like, crash landing with pilot and co-pilot hogging the parachutes, leaving 2 passenger to crash themselves.
Seo Ji Hye reminds me a lot of Lee Da Hee in The Beauty Inside. Independent, classy, elegant, and overall really gorgeous. Both have upcoming role as female lead, I'll anticipate it!
He can't ascend the throne either way, because his Mother is not a real Queen. She was just someone his Father met and then born him. So he's an illegitimate child. There's a website in which you can read the novel from, its all translated into English. I'll send you the link.
It was bittersweet but quite satisfying to read the last chapter, given what Fan Xian had to deal with throughout his life. Essentially a certain King of Qing went out of the capital with his general to meet with Fan Xian. They met in a small court yard and the King brings up an issue that the court ministers are worrying about; Fan Xian holds private army (elite guards) and Qing are scared of a rebellion. Fan Xian just look at the King and basically said "I will keep what is mine. For whoever wants to take that away from me, please send them my way." King of Qing could only sigh and left with his general.
I have already finished the drama but I am still confused about the marriage between Si Lili and the emperor of…
Northern Emperor is a woman, but that is a top secret that only Empress of Northern Qi, Haitaing Duoduo and Si Lili know. The Empress didn't borne a son and so she raised her daughter as an Emperor, that is why there are no eunuch or close maids following the Northern Emperor around, because only a handful of people have the privilege to know. Even Fan Xian doesn't know.
The transitioning of one scene to another is also a matter of concern, did the drama cut off some scenes from the webtoon or something? I know sometimes they do that, but is it the same in this case? Because that can only explain why it felt..odd.
