Given that everything is eventually connected in these sorts of dramas the prosecutors father definitely framed Se Na's Dad.

There are multiple instances of him being cartoonishly strong within the trailer even before the car, lol

I'm here enjoying the ride for sure but I'm parking logic at the door as well, lol

I mean there have been riots here in Canada over hockey and yet women are still judged harsher for their fannish interests than men are.

I'm not sure there's anyway to write a fan/idol romance that doesn't come off as a fantasy. They are also lawyer and client which is generally ethically sus. Turning off my brain and enjoying the mystery and visuals.

I assume she's a few years younger just based on the childhood flashback. I'm not sure they've given us their exact ages. She's younger IRL as well so I'm assuming the characters are somewhere near their IRL ages. She got her GED in 2010.

Lee Kyung Young who plays the monk was arrested 25 years ago for promising a 17 year old a role in his movie for sexual favours. He was charged with solicitation (I think he might have given her money or gifts as well) and served 10 months in jail in 2001 and from the looks of his MDL page was blacklisted for 5 years.

ikd how they're gonna take something like this out. I mean if they cut off main crew on the island will the rest of it die?

He's a judge and he returns from the dead (or returns to 10 years in the past, however you want to frame it).

Yeah she ran there in the first place because she's a fan of his but that's really shown to be a knee jerk reaction on her part I think. She leaves when he makes that remark about fangirls and reality starts to sink in. Her coworker calls her out on the ethical breech. She doesn't go back until the other lawyer decides to drop him as a client and she knows with the politics involved no one else is gonna touch his case.

ugh isn't it though.....

She's not blindly believing he's innocent against evidence to the contrary though. Her reasoning is sound, sure it's based on fan knowledge, but it's logical. The prosecution has no actual evidence against him at this point.

Professionally her perspective as a fan is the only reason La Ik has anyone willing to fight in his corner. We've seen the system is already corrupt and working against him, they've already decided he's guilty. So he needs someone willing to fight tooth and nail against a legal system hell bent on framing him.

My point is she's not just like the stalker fangirls though, that there is a difference between the two and flatten it to the "same thing" minimalizes the harm those stalker fans are doing to the people they idolize, imho. Crying in bed for three days is not the same as sending a letter in blood to an idol, for example and I think it's important to separate the two. Very different harms are happening with these two things.

Yes, Se Na's way isn't healthy either. But that's all internal to herself. To be a fan in general implies a certain amount of obsession/fixation as a rule. And the drama isn't trying to say Se Na's approach is healthy. Healthier, perhaps, in a comparison to the extreme.

They said all the forensics were done and I guess they released the scene. Seems quick but it's a drama so.

Funny how no one says this when we extend fandom to sports.

She's meant to be a representation of a typical fangirl, that's the whole point of her character. Fan is short for fanatic for a reason.

"there is no difference between her and the two stalker girls"

There absolutely is though. Se Na doing her own fangirl thing in her own space does not impact La Ik in the slightest. Whereas the stalker fangirls were actually harming him in their approach to fandom.

Se Na is deliberately not meant to be a perfect fangirl, comparing her to the stalkers wasn't meant to say her way is the only right way but to show the extremes.

this scammer enterprise is huge!

the dog is fine though and gets rescued in the end
