Ji Chang Wook in an action drama again!! I didn't think he wanted to do those anymore but I am here for it
Back in 2016 he did say that it's demanding and very strenuous, that it's a genre with beguiling factors and joked that he will never do it again. He also said that he would do it again if a production or a character were worth it, even with extremely difficult action moves. And it seems the time has come.
Can someone enlighten me about the story of this drama (if it has been revealed somewhere) ?
Not really, but some Korean articles talked about an action crime drama with drugs traffics between Korea, Japan and China, but nothing about the characters and the exact plot is confirmed yet.
With Ji Chang Wook? I thought he's not taking action anymore.
It was back in 2016 (time has passed), when promoting "The K2" and suffering from neck and back pains, but he said that as a joke during an interview (the video is on Youtube I think) and just after he said that he would do it again if a project was worth it. He also said in the same interview and many more since then that he wanted to try different roles that can express someone's heart and emotions differently.
Testosterone build up ! ^^ This will be a strong drama, especially if it's indeed a story that deals with drugs traffic and crime. Already super excited for that.
You're right. Check their profiles. It's mostly westerns and asians getting mad for us not shutting up about the…
And "westerns and asians" have all the right to complain 24/7 too. Deal with it. If you reduce a debate to a "racial" war, you'll never see the end of it. People need to be smarter than that to overcome prejudices from all sides.
You registered today just to insult us kdrama fans like we cannot see what koreans do wrong? You are the wrong…
I believe people who think they need to curse to force their arguments are the uneducated ones, because respect is the base of a debate. But that's probably wrong of me and my uneducated master degree.
You contradict a bit yourself, but let's say... in my opinion, the fast and thrilling scenes was nice. Remove…
Ah, I didn't mean that I didn't really liked it but that it was more complicated than just "I liked" or "I disliked", but I understand that it's not clear for others when reading it and it can seems contradictory. Well, I do understand your point about the ending but that's not how I feel about "Grid", even if a season 2 is never done. That's why I don't agree with all the "bad writing" comments. I didn't watched "Vagabond" yet but now that I know that romance is involved in it I'm not sure I will ever watch it. ^^

It doesn't have to be all white or all black. I don't contradict myself. I can like something or think it's good even if that is confusing and that I don't totally understand. Unlike all the people not happy with it, I take these 10 episodes as a part of something bigger, so for me it's okay if there are still many questions and the ending is even more confusing than the start. For me it's stupid to claim that it's bad written when it's clearly an unfinished story.
If majority of the audience is confused and majority of the questions presented in the show were not answered…
I disagree. You think it's a bad written story, that doesn't make it an absolute truth. Even if the majority think something (which hasn't been proven in that case, this site is not representative of all the viewers around the world), it doesn't mean that's the truth.
I don't understand many comments here. Why such an ending if there is no season 2 ? That's not because a season hasn't been already officially announced that there will not be one. That doesn't makes sense to do such a drama with this ending and just stop there. As for the negative comments... well, disliking something because it's confusing seems quite stupid for me. It's sure requires more neurones that an average rom/com to watch it... Did I like "Grid" ? Not really. That story is way too complicated and confusing, but honestly it's very good, and I was super lost but happy with episode 10. I look forward to a season 2. With such a story (even a SF universe) of course 10 episodes aren't enough.
We don't know yet. The only thing we are sure about is that Ji Chang Wook will sing, as we can see and hear him in the trailer. For the rest of the cast it's a mystery. ;)
Great work ! And thank you for remembering me the pyramid and the line "Shall I rip your lips off ?" from "Sky Castle". This drama is really iconic. I also realized that I though it was really funny too the way Jung Hae In keeps repeating "Private An Jun Ho" in "D.P.". ^^
Oooh, I'm not the only one! I do this while I'm watching too. I rewrite subtitles in my head.I can understand…
^^ I can't help but do that when watching something with subtitles, whatever the language. When I was in Korea it was the same in cinemas when watching an English movie with Korean subtitles. Like Fourthaxis explained, there are things that cannot simply be translate because of cultural, language structure and roots differences. It is sure not an easy job to do translations.
Great work, well done ! That's why I'm happy to understand Korean enough to stick to the original titles and correct the mistranslations for subtitles in my head when I watch movies and dramas.
I think it's a bait to catch the ghost because they put a tracking device in his clothes. I don't think they are…
Exactly, it's so confusing, in a good way, that we focus on things that are actually not important when they clearly gave the answers in others scenes. ^^
