Most problematically:- The girls' grandparents just disappear from the story entirely. At 40 minutes, grandma…
-dunno what happened to grandparents tbh -while pastor park was distracting the villain, the wounded guy got in his car off screen -indeed, the twin sister fulfilled her mission and passed on in the cycle of reincarnation -the prophecy mentioned puberty. but it could be something else. notice how when she first met the blonde guy, she was still a beast, and only started transforming after that into a "while lotus". Perhaps meeting him was the trigger, knowing what role he was supposed to play? Also notice it's happening during christmas, so the date might be important too. -they were told to kill themselves when police was on them, so yeah. also, since they were so crushed by their conscience, it was meant to make them feel like their death has some deeper purpose -the villain reached japanese style buddhist enlightenment, which is immortality. he wasn't corrupted by power, but by fear of death and inability to accept death and move on in the cycle of reincarnation, which came out when he received a prophecy of his own demise. -the immortal guy was the maitreya, because he reached immortality. The twin sister was also the maitreya, but the one meant to end him. they are also parallel with the story of herod/jesus and notice how the animals were agitated around her, just like it's told that it was during the birth of christ. -that's one interpretation. the other interpretation of him not fearing elephants is that despite all the people he killed, he's ready for death and thus free of sin, while the immortal guy was sinful because he feared death
@Elcie—You're not dumb; you might be too clever. There are moments throughout this series where logic trips…
If you still care about one year it might be because her father was branded for termination after he killed a man to protect his pregnant wife, breaking the reaper code. While 444 in han mogangs body was immortal.
few things to say: i was reading through the reviews and i dont get why people called the sl judge cha annoying??…
cause he's a minion/yes man to judge Sim, she always proves him wrong and treats him like a kid or piece of garbage depending on mood and he just goes along with it and takes it
Considering all the botox and thick layer of makeup on her face, perhaps Kim Hye Soo wasn't as much unable to show off her range because of the character she played, but rather because she is literally unable to make complex facial expressions anymore, and has to basically play with her eyes alone. Which made her perfect for the role.
I agree with you. Tbh I just watched the first episode, and it makes no sense, none of it. Why would the king believe his people without evidence like that even when the 'culprit' never confessed and straight out said in public who the real culprit is? The entire murder plot was pretty stupid too. And it gave me a nasty feeling that the intrigues in the following episodes are going to be equally unbelievable.
And in the prison scene, it was literally like
"You must protect the child" "What child" "Protect the child" "Ok but who the child is" "Just protect the child"
I couldn't get through the first episode, it was so...boring. I'm ok with slowburn stories, but this just didn't pick my interest. It took over 30 minutes to show 13 year old version of the mc, and basically took the whole episode to show the premise as outlined in synopsis.
I think the entire thing with A-ri dying before mc was born could have been better incorporated later as a flashback rather than introduction to the story.
TW/ suicideI agree with some comments here that the series is badly written. It doesn't bother me to an extent…
oh wow, they did it like that? and here I was considering watching it. I don't like when such themes are misinterpreted, unless it's satire or black comedy.
I'm half way through and the drama is good but I hate the female lead. Not to mention that the actress playing…
she's like a robot. not only is her face static, her hair and clothes are always perfect and her deductions are on point even tho it seems she never sleeps, eats or rests.

Peak dialog.
