Yes, how dare a detective try to do his job 😭

thank you, next

The average so far is 5.7%. Only twice has it been between 7-8%.

That was the point. Demons start to feel human emotions once they spend enough time in their world. Just like Justitia's heart was beating fast for Daon. The demon didn't want anyone to know he had developed human feelings, because clearly that's a severe crime in the underworld, understandably.

The scream I let out when he grabbed her leg

The Bitna/Daon dynamic is so satisfying so far. I love enemies who just can't stay away from one another, and her heart is already beating hard for him. It will be interesting to see how long his righteous belief in the law will hold firm, especially when they start getting into his family's murder case later on.

It's the character. Deliberately acted and directed. And I think she's doing an excellent job. This is on track to become one of her most iconic characters in my book.

It's a lot with LND because the marketing sold something other than what viewers got (for most of the drama). But honestly My Demon got far more hate on here, which I never understood, because that was just a silly, fun little romcom with great visuals all the way through. Meanwhile, I've found this to be one of the most frustrating dramas I've followed weekly.

Seems many agree, based on comments on various platforms, plus the fact that the TV ratings have been underwhelming. Everyone expected this to be the next big weekend drama hit for tvN after Queen of Tears, but it's not even gonna hit double digits. Looks like it might even end up behind Doctor Slump (which was on JTBC but covered similar themes).

Apparently Ji Chang Wook has been replaced by Park Hyung Sik. Not sure why. Scheduling conflicts?

Starting this now and just realized that the screenwriter also did two of my all-time favorite dramas, so that's promising. Hopefully this is as great as Chicago Typewriter and Twinkling Watermelon 🤞

Not the same five people camping out in the comments here attacking everyone who dares lob some light criticism at this drama's writing or chemistry. Then calling *them* the obsessed/jobless ones. 🤣

Four episodes in and I already find their romantic chemistry far better than I ever did with IU and Yeo Jin Goo in Hotel Del Luna. They never really worked for me, especially since she had much better chemistry with Lee Do Hyun in the story from the past in the drama.

It's pretty clearly anti-colonialist-Japan, as it should be. But that doesn't mean it's anti-current-Japan. Just as critical movies about Nazi Germany are not anti-German. It's just against war crimes.

Excited about this. Hoping for a late 2025 release, but if it's Netflix it'll probably be 2026.

Lots of assumptions here. As in the Chinese original, the "triangle" will likely just be a brief thing when they reunite, and the SML has his own love line, as shown in the character chart.

Such a breakthrough year for him with big roles in two high-profile dramas 🤩

I like that they chose this option, making it clear it's a character quirk that's unrelated to product placement. They could've easily had her use an actual brand instead (though maybe some of them would have had an issue with it being a demon's trademark 🤣)

Believe it or not, but your personal taste is not a bellwether for whether or not his projects are good. WWWSK was a massive success, cemented his aura (if you will) and remains a top 10 most popular drama on this site. Itaewon Class is still one of the highest rated cable dramas on Korean TV, broke records on Netflix, and was nominated for a number of Baeksang Awards, including a Best Actor nomination for PSJ. And Gyeongseong Creature is currently the most-consumed non-American tv show in the world, #3 globally on Flixpatrol, in the top 10 of over 70 countries WW. Few actors can point to their three most recent projects having this much impact.

Why would he stop her avenging the death of his family?

You keep suggesting that the decisions by the writer "add complexity" and "add more dimension to the narrative" but what good is that if viewers just find it frustrating? And if those choices mean that they're not even really buying the romance the drama is (finally) trying to sell? Complexity for the sake of complexity is pointless if it alienates viewers from the characters.
