I think it has something to do with very strong emotions, they can have an effect on the physical world (or 'tap into the force' as the shaman said) when they feel very very strongly about something that they can't think straight.

I can't pinpoint quite well what is it but this drama reminds me of 2010s romcom dramas and I'm so here for it! I haven't been seeing romcom dramas quite like that for the past years, so while nostalgic, it also feels like a breath of fresh air! Excited for next week's episode.

I don't think the end was satisfying, there are too many things left open, a bunch of side characters just vanished and we didn't get any closure on them. It also seems like they wanted to set up for another season, given how incomplete this last ep was.

aaaaaaaand we never got a second season.

Is this a sequel to the 2004 drama by the same author "The Woman Who Wants to Marry" or a standalone?

It could be helpful and that's how I got interested in knowing more about painful but important historical events as well, but so far this drama is doing a terrible job being fair to the historical events it took inspiration from. I'll stick around because I have a minimum episode policy, but it isn't look good for this drama, at all. But I really do hope it at leasts encourages people to go do additional reading on the events instead of taking this drama as a lesson in history.

Great article! As a fellow historical drama lover, this is something I often struggle to convey to my friends about historical pieces, and this article is now something I'll be referring to from now on. Thank you for presenting your thoughts in such an articulate manner :)

This kid has so much potential! Looking forward to see more of him in the future~

Yup, I'm also confident it's JSK.

where +1

Wait, there were leaked pics??

I understand, it sure is weird and morally questionable/reprehensible/repulsive, but so is 95% of the plot!

Thank you!

Can you link it? I tried to look it up but there so many vids and they are so long

It's a makjang, the list of things that are "not right" is LONG and you can't really enjoy it by looking at it with a moral lens.

well, it wasn't named after "hell is other people" for nothing...

superb actor!

Recommended reading: all the books referenced in this series, especially the most prominent one, 'The Metamorphosis' by Franz Kafka. This book is a classic and to this day there are various interpretations for it and, interestingly enough, a lot of them are fit this drama as well... I'm sure the writer drew inspiration from this and wanted to give us a nod/a key for further understanding. Truly a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

it was human meat for sure. and iirc the thug was periodically shown alive throughout the eps, so it shouldn't be a surprise really, and there was never a scene with his death like room 302

He really outdid himself in Hell Is Other People... The best acting I've seen in a while, he was really immersed in the character and could convey the feelings with skill levels beyond this world.
