I don’t think the 'shock factor' will come from the killer’s identity. Instead, the real impact lies in how the case correlates with the climate of that era. The drama seems less about 𝘸𝘩𝘰 did it and more about the haunting questions: Why did we fail to catch him? How did this stay unsolved for 30 years? That’s where the true story is.
Personally, what touched me the most was seeing Seop’s growth as an actor. 😭🫶🏻💦The fact that I get to see so much more of it from now on is what has me the most excited. He looked so comfortable and happy while filming this, and seeing that positive energy reflected in the final result makes my heart race. As a fan, I can’t help but notice his little habits, but from his very first scene and first line, I just knew—this was it. 💓🧡🧡I'm so incredibly happy.
What I appreciate about Kim Bum isn't just his looks—it's his range of expressions. Even if a character seems simple on paper, he never gives a flat performance. He peels back the layers and shows you different facets of their personality from every angle. It makes his characters so relatable and impossible not to care about. I find myself constantly thinking about them.
This drama is so unhinged. You have the couple sharing a sweet kiss in the foreground, and meanwhile, the two dads are full-on brawling in the back. The duality is sending me🤣🤣🤣
Choose one: Pay back 10 million won OR become the ultimate after-school math assistant—set the classroom to exactly 23°C before class, lay out all the handouts on the desks, collect everyone's homework, and handle all the cleaning and locking up once class is over.
Obviously, the second option is the 'right' choice, but is that really easy for a student? Asking someone to find a passion for math even after school hours is just cruel...
'I will create the weather for you.' 🌤️How does someone even think of an idea like that? Just as a sunny day lifts our spirits, they say they want 'good weather' because they don't even have the strength to shake off an iron-heavy depression. Even in a life that feels like it’s just treading water, they dream of a bright sunlight that will eventually bloom—a light so bright it can shine on others, too. Truly, everyone is fighting their own battle against their sense of worthlessness.
I honestly can't stand people like Hwang Dongman. It’s not about his failures or anything like that—it’s just that the way he treats others is so incredibly rude. Regardless of whether a movie is bad or not, it’s just wrong to belittle the hard work and effort someone else put into it. But... I still feel sorry for him. I can't help it.God, I hate that I’m like this.
🔌 ep 2: At work, you occasionally end up having lunch with managers from other departments you’re not even close with. They’ll suddenly start interrogating you like a private investigator, starting with: 'So, where do you live?' If you answer honestly, they’re the ones who asked, yet they look visibly triggered or immediately fire off a follow-up like: 'Is it a lease (name..)?'
If you have to deal with these annoying 'young fifty' or 'young forty' types, just keep it simple: 'I'm just renting,; or 'It’s a monthly rental and it's pretty tough.' Then, watch them shrug with a look of strange relief, like they're some big-shot executive with a mortgage-free home in Seoul. Just call them a 'pitiful geezer' in your head and move on. They’ll be out of the company soon enough anyway.
The character development in episodes 1-4 is top-tier. Even with so many characters, their personalities are so distinct that I already feel like I know them all. I'm dying to see how their school life unfolds! I started this with a light heart, but I think I’m about to fall 'heavy' in love with this show. I have a feeling I’m going to absolutely adore this drama💓🫶🏻
True to Park Haeyoung’s style, there are so many lines that give you a harsh reality check. I think a lot of people will find themselves reflecting on their own lives while watching. I especially love the 'Emotion watch' concept—it’s such an intuitive way to show how characters are feeling! There’s not a single weak link in the acting, the leads have solid chemistry, and above all, Koo Kyohwan is perfectly cast as Hwang Dongman. He’s literally the human version of the character.
I absolutely love this drama... The writer is so talented; they have a real gift for making every single character feel so lovable. The humor is spot on, and since it focuses on the stories of women, it's such a comfortable watch. There's no rage-baiting or cheap 'hook' scenes, so it's not emotionally draining at all. The messages tucked inside are so moving, too. Seriously, if you haven't seen this yet, please give it a try! If you just binge-watch it without any thoughts, you’ll end up feeling so comforted. 🛋️✨
There were definitely some parts of the story and characters that made me scratch my head, but I had a great time watching it while poking fun at the plot. I don't think I'll ever see another female lead get a thumbtack stuck in her forehead ever again lol. Since the romance is pretty light, I’d recommend this to anyone who prefers plot over love lines!
Park Jihoon’s ability to command the screen is insane. The moment his face appears, everyone is forced to focus because of his visuals and the aura in his eyes. But then, as soon as he speaks, his voice, delivery, and overall vibe draw the audience right into the scene, making it impossible not to understand his character. That is truly a remarkable talent🥹💦
I don't even like baseball, but I am hooked. I feel so dumb for delaying this watch! If only I could go back and watch it live with everyone else. It’s a literal masterpiece ⚾️🔥
ep 2: Gong Seungyeon’s acting is actually insane... The way she serves the elegance of the Queen Dowager is crazy. Her aura is no joke, and she looks absolutely stunning. She’s killing this role!
ep 9: I can't get over the gap between her adorable bucket list and that serious adult handwriting. It’s so funny yet so incredibly sad. 🥺 It was such a creative and touching way to handle her sister’s goodbye—checking off those items felt like she was finally letting them both be free.
Currently loading: from Yi Hongwi to Kang Seongjae... 💕 Seongjae looks like he's going to be so lovely. Our little chestnut Seongjae needs all the head pats! 🫳🏻🫳🏻🫳🏻🫳🏻🫳🏻
A Grand Prince who isn't allowed to be good at anything vs. a child of a concubine who isn't allowed to fail at anything. Because they’ve lived such polar opposite lives, it totally makes sense that their values are so different. I love how Yi An find Heejoo fascinating and cute, while Heejoo just finds him incredibly annoying. Everything about their dynamic is so understandable..
