Goo Haewon made a very strong impression on me, and this drama is best enjoyed if we perceive her as the protagonist. She is one of the best portrayals of "yandere" archetype in fiction...but unlike an overdrawn caricature some people might know from manga, she's psychologically complex, multidimensional, and relatable.
Actually, all the characters in this drama are. It's hard to find a pure good or pure bad person, all of them have some motive and reason for the things they do, and have some bad and some sympathetic side to them.
I need help someone needs to help me i am so confused by that ending and people's comment. So basically everyone…
No, it's not that complex.
Here's my interpretation: Jong Woo understood how to live honestly, to smile when he wants to smile and be angry when he wants to be angry. Unfortunately, the path to that was ridden with pain and tremendous stress.
To say it in short, he's traumatized for life, and these newly surfaced feelings that he kept suppressing until now took the form of the dentist who was responsible for all that trouble. The hallucination of the dentist represents his "darker" desires, which he apparently isn't quite ready to fully embrace, so he outsources it to the imaginary dentist. Whether he can reconcile and accept it, or he'll keep seeing the dentist all his life, we don't know as the ending is pretty open. However, his question about the nature of good and evil might suggest he's on the way to it.
As for the policewoman she's perfectly sane and stable.
in ep04, why was it either or situation? why was it either proving queen's innocence, or dethroning queen dowager? Wouldn't proving queen dowager's guilt insta prove queen's innocence?
youre funny you know hard this series was for the actors?
I don't really understand when people write a lot of insults, and then instantly block the other person after posting the message. Is it about having the last word in internet argument? But like you said, this person isn't gonna see this. So what's the point?
Agree 100% also what year was it set in? 1930's ? we are in 2022 and if a beat up, red eye "human" is trying to…
Writers think what's gonna happen first, then how it happened. The how is why all of us are dead failed, like the writer desperately wanted some situation to happen and took dumb shortcuts without thinking about it.

saaaaaame, after I started writing, I got a new perspective on fiction. It's really not hard to create logical scenario without plotholes, so it's really baffling that this high budget drama couldn't afford to do that. even if it's an adaptation, they should have fixed some of the most jarring shit.
ok, 3 episode in, I think I can drop this drama. this is some socialist garbage lmaooo
did they really portray this asshole telling his father that he shouldn't have saved him, and telling his brother that it's good that his hand got cut cause it was evil hand meant for doing evil deeds as good? and then in some christmas carol moment they gave a lot of money to some dirty peasant who wanted to kill him episode earlier? what?

As for alchemy, dunno, haven't seen that yet
exactly same premise? gakkou gurashi
Except it's much better. The manga, that is. Stay away from live action adaptation.
