Started like a parody of wuxia, then it got serious, to its own detriment.

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.

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"

Peak dialog.

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.

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.

2edgy for me, and not in a good way. sooo one-dimensional. Why don't they write a believable character instead?

I'm reluctant to watch it, as Fingersmith is one of my favorite novels, and I think an adaptation can only ruin it

same here, very weird

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.

I struggle to watch this because the mc is very annoying.

Is there a lot of aesthetic gore in this show, or is it done poorly or only for shock value? I like well-done gore, but when it's bad and there's a lot of bad gore it just breaks immersion.

I liked the mpreg and black and white episodes a lot. But yuri makes second season extremely hard to suffer through, and she was a mistake.

it's cause you're trying to justify it instead of enjoying human suffering, and how they bring it on themselves given the means. The show is tailored for the people who experience shadenfreude, and approaches the human condition from a cynical and misanthropic pov. That's one source of hype.

The other source of hype is the sheer plot and cinematographic Creativity utilized in this series. Every episode had a different director and shows a different approach to cinematography.

Some really memorable scenes involve the dancing Nanno as chat messages are pasted over her, Nanno tempting students with biblical vitrage in the background, or the ending shot(pun intended) of ep10 as the event of interest happens in the blurred background.

The way people are "punished" by their weaknesses, dreams, ambitions, and temptations is also often unexpected, but creatively chaotic and over the top, thus entertaining.

but you just got spoiled hard
