I agree!! This was only the second Jang Hyuk series I watched after Chuno...!!! ! Why does he always have to die in the end!!!????? Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!We want him to live!!!!!! ;-)
i'm enjoying this. I watch anything that has daddy Jang Hyuk but this wife here is just unacceptable. She is so…
I agree. There is no chemistry between the married couple. I know the marriage is supposed to be on the rocks but there is so much physical distance between husband and wife ALL the effing time!! They never seem to touch each other, not even a simple pat on the back, touch of hands, anything, really.... They seem to be miles apart - physically and psychologically.... That was so so weird. .. and made it difficult to believe in them as a couple. Difficult to understand why they would even stay together. I loved the father-daughter-relationship - although that was also weirdly devoid of any kind of physical affection (apart from a few piggyback rides...). When she is terribly ill and he is saying his final good-byes, I was waiting for some kind of good-bye kiss or hug...!!!? But nothing - all he does is cradle her face in his hands... That was very dissatisfactory. I don't know anything about PDAs in families in Korean society, but suspect there must be some kind of cultural reason for this physical distance... Maybe it's to do with some kind of moral code of what is okay to portray on Korean TV? I don't know... I find this lack of physical closeness between family members distressing...
I enjoy this drama immensely. Not only for the obvious reason of watching Jang Hyuk but also because of the two female detectives who are more competent and les sibmissive and docile than females are usually portrayed in Kdrama world. Watching Jang Hyuk - who is known as an action man sitting so still and immobile in his wheelchair for the first couple of episodes is a revelation! And his vision is (supposedly) gone, too! I thought these scenes were amazing and demonstrated what a brilliant actor he is - because I was never not completely mesmerised by his performance and wanting to find out what Oh Hyun Jae was going to do or plan next. The actor must have jumped at the chance to play this role as it is very much the complete opposite of what he is usually asked to play. From action hero to 'Rear Window'... !! Who would've thought he had it in him to do this so well!?
