The Punic

except the FL, every single character doesn't act as human being but as a plot device that can be summed in like 3-4 words. its a really weak drama when it comes to characters.

The ML is just a blob, a non existent character who gets pushed in whatever direction the character's interacting with him.

what a waste of time this drama is.

Such an underrated gem, surprisingly I really loved the law/crime parts which is rare, the stories are original and well made to complement and compensate the characters, and thanks to the fantastical nature of the story the romance is unorthodox and fun apart from the useless love triangle ofc. the ML is a very good and complex character.

in modern day korea, just like the doctor needs a medical license to exist, just like a lawyer must be admitted to the bar to exist, a kdrama must have a love triangle to exist, what a horrible and unnecessary love triangle.

I loved her role in "my dearest nemesis"

good and funny drama even if its made to be full of clichés yet still without the worst cliché of chaebol vs commoner and forced breakup, which is good

also like always in modern south korea its totally okay to physically and mentally abuse your grandson/son for decades and without repentance you'll be accepted if you say you're sorry hell even a sad_violin.mp3 will start playing in the background.

her friend is absolutely shameless human being, her whole role in the drama is to belittle and defame the ML, everytime the FL seeks her opinion she have a negative one. even later in the story. its absurd.

never skipped so fast like I'm skipping his friend's scenes, he's an overbearing unpleasant disgusting character.

Good drama that is held back by the self centered selfish behaviour of the FL

a masterpiece, I loved the mature and rational romance too.

still its weird and very uncommon even for japan especially since takeru was like 24yo at the time

its a slow paced masterpiece, for me everything was perfect the characters, the music, the story, some scenes are breathtakingly beautiful

the end of episode 14 and the start of the episode 15 doesn't make any sense or whatsoever. I really enjoyed the first 14 episodes even with plot holes but this is totally on another level of absurdity

I love his roles, he's the friend everybody needs.

The ML is the perfect example of why lying is an absolutely bad human trait, doesn't matter a white or black lie, it'll make people who were lied to doubt themselves and doubt the liar, and when lies upon lies are stacked it'll reach a point of no return.

when did they get together romantically or when did she start having feelings for him ?

I really wonder why nobody adressed the fact that the actress when she filmed this was 16-17 years old and she kissed him

for office setting, I highly recommend You Are My Secret, if you're for the mood for south korean, I can't recommend Love Scout enough

why do writers feel the need to make all the characters interlinked as if its some sort of fate ? making almost every single character related to one through fateful events will reduce the value and the importance of the main important relationships
I understand its cheaper to interlink stories thus hiring less actors but characters can grow without the need to be interlinked with one another.

don't worry about the open case (at the time of this movie) it has in my opinion the best and the most unique ending of all times.

I'll definitely pick it up then.
so glad you liked meeting you, I had such a nice calm peaceful ride with it.
