Or god saying "Love can sometimes be poisonous." Yea no, I don't think so. In fact I can't think of any religion where the god of that religion would ever say that.

or "I am a mere companion on the journey to everything."

It's obvious the writers weren't into theology or philosophy because wow.

imo, if you have nothing better to watch, it's an okay one-time-through. But if you have other things you're interested in, I'd give this a miss. It's one of those that could just sit parked on your "Plan To Watch" list until you feel like picking it up. The HE is okay. It's an HE.

>Song Kang could definitely pull a more mature version of Gu Won if he was given the chance.

YES!! They didn't capitalize on that edge he can exude.

>, brushing shoulders with sketchy people from the human underworld, where he would ultimately find his so called "victims"

gambling dens, nightclubs... it would have been so cool if he sent guys to hell who preyed on women in nightclubs, because that's a RL problem in SK. We could have rooted for him more. He could have gone to racetracks, gangs hanging out at the docks at night, evil business deals in fancy sushi restaurants. But no, he's hanging out at the childrens cancer ward looking for greiving families?!?

>His tragic backstory should've only contributed to him choosing to be a libertine in order to forget all that immense pain, instead of the doleful theatre owner who goes shopping, eats cakes, drinks coffee and watches funny little plays when he's not busy with contracts...

YOURE HIRED!!! <3 <3 <3

LOLLLLL the more I think about it.... he slew all those people and now.... eats cake and takes in a play..... waaaahhhhhhahahahhah.... also. That coffee was the weakest-ass coffee, I watched them drink it and I was like "nooooo! It's gonna taste like shit!" Normally I wouldn't care. If the grandpa from Pinnochio made coffee like that, it would fit his character. But this is the devil we're talking about. The cake snob who wears brooches. That coffee should look PERFECT, rich and dark with a little bit of crema floating on top.

In the end, the producers are the final say-so, they should have stopped the writers from taking that direction in the first place. "So hey, we're gonna have the devil sitting there in shoulderpads and slacks eating cake and---" "Ah, let me just stop you right there, guys."

In the drama, she jokes about him being a pokemon, but that's basically the interpretation of the word "demon" that they went with. They should have called it "My Pocket Monster".

There is. If it matters to you, the intensity of the triangle is not that strong, it's not as bad as Lost You Forever, BoF, What Happened in Bali etc. The choice it presents the FL with is "good boy" vs "bad boy" basically.

...with the hammy overacting simpy butler... the overacting sister... and the fact that after they "get together" there's almost like a relief on the part of the production like "whew! finally the steamy kiss scenes are overwith. Let's just have them cuddle sweetly like an old married couple for the rest of the drama".... which doesn't make sense, because they've already kissed, got half naked, and consummated by ep 8 or so. It's already mildly risquee, why the need to reel it in and be tame for the entire back half of the drama? And the way they wrote in the perilla seeds and scallions, you'd think that later in the drama they have some crucial part to play in the plot, but no. They were seriously just there for comic relief. And they didn't even bring a whole lot of that. The gang from Strong Woman Do Bong Soon was hilarious. This one, not so much. The idea was good, but they didn't maximize the comedy they could have gotten out of it.

One of the things I can't get over was the ML in a sweater TUCKED IN to a pair of slacks. With a body like that? The things they dressed him in were borderline criminal. They should have immediately fired his stylist the second he walked on set wearing a silk scarf with a brooch and shoulder pads. Did they find Prince's old stylist from the 90's? What is going ON with that?! All they needed was a pair of tight pants, black boots, and a form-fitting black or white shirt. Maybe a black leather biker jacket. No need to overthink it.

A good movie called Tazza: The High Rollers
For series dramas, Love Me If You Dare, Flower of Evil, Come and Hug Me, Healer, The K2 are ones you could check out and see if they might be interesting to you.

I thought it was one of the most cringe parts of the entire drama, personally. It started and I was like "omg no..." (facepalm). I skipped through a bit of it to get it overwith faster.

Try to keep it in mind that everything he does when it's snowing outside is when he's under the influence of that malady he has with the whole snow thing. Like delerium or whatever.

well you can't really go wrong with a short-episode c-drama, because it's not a huge time investment. Even if it sucks, one binge-session and youre done.

Part of that is translation issues.... the word 악마 (agma/akma.... which they are pronouncing as "angma" in the drama) can mean the devil OR it can mean demon.

As for the "god" part, I thought it was so cringe that it reminded me of Alanis Morisette playing god in Dogma. Maybe there are translation issues there too, but my Korean is very very spotty, so I wouldn't know one way or the other.

What sorts of things do you like to watch? I could try to recc you something, but I can't tell what you like by your watchlist tho.

actually that was pretty good acting from the kids imo.

If this person's watchlist is accurate, they've only seen about a dozen asian dramas. I am excited for them that they still have so much good stuff out there left to discover. I think if they like this couple, that they'd also like the couple from Devilish Joy. I'm basing this recc off their watchlist and the fact that they liked this onscreen pairing.

Yep, at least it wasn't as bad as 'Blood'.

doh! fixing now lol....

also, if you find any more that aren't accurate pls let me know and I will fix! A couple I had to look up because they're on a cusp and I wanted to be as accurate as I could. So I definitely want to make sure they're all correct.

tysm so much, I was trying to work fast through my watchlist and messed up a few, bless you for finding my mistakes. But joe cheng, is that for the Rose? I was doing for Jerry Huang. Who is listed on the Rose's MDL page as the 2ML, but he's the one who gets the girl in the end. The other two I'll fix right now. <3 <3 <3 you rock!!!

>Never have I seen a more suitable and beautiful Kdrama couple

Maybe because you've only seen like 10 dramas? Or at least there's only a handful on your watch list. Suitable and beautiful K-drama couple = Devilish Joy

That was such a blow-your-socks-off couple, I think it's worth a watch if you haven't already.

Aigoo, I just looked it up, I'll watch it when it's finished airing, but I can't watch something that's not completed yet because I'm a binge-watcher. I'll put it on my list though, seems like it could be good. tysm! <3

What's TLI?
