I finished this movie entirely because of Joo Won and then they gave me that ending *side eyes* I feel like the director just found out about how to use the shaky camera technique and drone shots to elevate action scenes and then just decided that he wanted to do that for ALL scenes in the movies, even for the simple ones like opening a door...
That's really interesting.One thing that confused me about this is that I thought that medical examiners were…
It's a drama not documentary. So they just add those things to make it dramatic 😅. Just like how Baek Beom doesn't wear mask when performing his autopsies. Make his character edgy. About episode 19, I just feel like the writing is not consistent. I think they want to make a parallel with previous case when the detective become a suspect and how the prosecutor shouldn't take the case when they are related to the victims, etc. I honestly don't know why they would still allow him to be the lead prosecutor when he's related to both victims. At least in previous episodes, Eun Sol was not the lead prosecutor so someone else can judge the case more objectively.

I don't think the term autopsy is used for inspection at crime scene. When someone said autopsy either in subtitles of this drama or any US TV crime shows, it always refers to the post-mortem examination. i.e operating on corpse to find the cause of death. I watched this on Netflix though, so maybe the sub is different? But autopsy always refers to the post-mortem examination. When they go to the crime scene, they always spell it out, e.g go to the crime scene, collect samples from the crime scene, etc.
I'm currently watching episode 12 and I think that the English subs are a bit inaccurate on regard of Baek Beom…
That's really interesting. One thing that confused me about this is that I thought that medical examiners were only supposed to determine the cause of the death from their lab/facilities, while people who actually do the legwork of the investigation (going to crime scene, etc) are the crime scene investigators, and they are separate professions. I also looked up this page:https://science.howstuffworks.com/coroners-medical-examiners.htm, and it seems that the job descriptions/qualifications for coroners vs medical examiners vary by states and general public tend to use the two terms interchangeably. One paragraph that I think captured this: "Coroners are not usually doctors. They are often elected or appointed to their position. Most have a bachelor's degree in forensic science or criminology. In some states, the elected coroner must be a medical doctor." So if it varies in the States, I would think that the system is also different in South Korea? Although when I looked up NSF official website, it doesn't specifically say that their Medical Examiner's office is also offering a service to collect/inspect the crime scene. Not sure if anyone who works at NSF, regardless of their department, still also have to go to the crime scene to perform their own investigation. I did read somewhere that NSF staffs are mostly overworked and underpaid, so it wouldn't be surprising if they combine the field work and lab work. Also I have to disagree on the term autopsy. I think in the show, autopsy is only referred to the post-mortem examination. And according to Websters' autopsy is the correct term to use.
I'm enjoying this so far. My fave characters up to ep 10 are Stella and Jang Sung Joo (one of Baek Beum's forensic team members). Stella is just so badass and chic. Sung Joo is so chill (and loyal) despite being treated so harshly by his supervisor, and he's also smart and can explain things calmly. Something that's lacking from some characters. 😅 I didn't find the FL as annoying as many comments here have alluded. She was annoying in the first 2 episodes. Seriously, not knowing how to conduct herself at a crime scene after declaring that she's a fan of American TV crime shows? 🙄 But other than that, I can understand that her impulsive actions did come from watching too many crime shows. She has this idealized vision that she will solve everything and pin that to the evil character. The one thing I found off is why the chief prosecutor would let her handle a case as big as that as her first case (as a novice prosecutor, she will face off one of the biggest law firms in the country). Maybe he's in cahoots with her dad or something? On the other hand, I found Kang Hyun to be so insufferable, so grating. Yes, I'm in that dreaded episode 9-10 stretch. He is so over the top with everything. His obsession to protect Eun Sol and his evidence-less hatred towards you-know-who.
seriously they keep using green hair and tattoos for the bad guys... because those just make you evil...
I think one thing to keep in mind is he's still underage. There's a legal age to get a tattoo and I'm sure schools have regulations about bleached hair, piercing, tattoos. The fact that he's in a juvenile court while sporting the tattoos and piercing means that he's not conforming to the regulations, and that he ended up as delinquents
I am contemplating btw this and red sleeves…isn’t red sleeve good??
I enjoyed the first half of the Red Sleeve but found the latter half draggy and frustrating to watch, so I took a break from it. I've been enjoying this so far, but I tend to prefer old sageuks rather than the fusion ones.
why did Choi Dam Dong die if he was completely aware of it ? was he not able to prevent what happened in the dream…
He chose to die. The only way he can prevent that death is by not meeting with Jae Chan in the future. But knowing that he'd die if he work with Jae Chan, he still chose to do so anyway.
Its time for K-dramas directors to change. Is it necessary for the male lead to get killed just because he killed…
Shouldn't your post be marked as a spoiler? I haven't watched the show yet and just want to see the general reception before deciding to start but now I already know what's going to happen to ML...
I don't think Jisu was infected. I've never seen her having a nosebleed (cmiiw). She was just recovering from…
They were talking about different golden hour. The one Eunyoo was referring to is the real golden hour, i.e. the first hour after the occurrence of some injury, which would be the most critical for successful emergency treatment, in this case the surgery. And the monster part, she was referring to that time they had the training to fight the monsters where Jisu was pretending to be a monster
Frustrated with how this story is handled in The Red Sleeve so I'm starting this instead. This has been on my watching list for the longest time, so let's see how it fares...
I love both lead actors: Lee Ju nho and Lee Se young. Have seen some of their dramas previously and so I had high…
I agree. This drama lost steams close to the death of King Yeongjo. Most of the political intrigues were not that great to start with, the buildups were good, but sometimes I found the conclusions were not satisfying enough. I thought their romance was handled well in the beginning, but starting to fall apart in the second half. Also too many K-drama tropes of two leads staring into each other instead of conveying important information. I'm on episode 14, and I'm already burned out and struggling to finish this (mostly fast-forwarding scenes because it feels like the writer is dragging out the non-existent conflicts between the leads). Loved Junho and Lee Se Young's acting, but their story in the second half is really frustrating to watch, also there's no more tension from the political sides. Feels like the last few episodes are written only to fill the quota of 16 episodes drama.
I think this was entertaining, but there's too much fluff that doesn't contribute much to the main storyline. And we spent too much time on the unlikeable characters. This probably would be better as 6 episode drama. 6.5/10 for me.
People aren't complaining because these actors are "young." They are complaining because they are lousy actors.…
LOL. Sure. I'm the dumbass now because I'm just pointing out that you are replying to posts (not replies to your comments) of anyone voicing something positive about the show and basically calling them having a low taste. Sorry that this show got so popular when it doesn't meet your exquisite taste in movies.
