From this drama I'm confused about the Japanese medical system, I mean if someone has chest pain are they going directly to a cardiologist? Because it can be a million different things. I'd think general medicine would actually be invaluable as it diagnoses and rerouts patients to the correct departments for treatment? I mean, sure an hospital will earn more if they shuffle the guy through all the departments to find the cause of the chest pain, but how many patients can actually afford all that? I'm genuinely curious as I have no idea what the system is. Here we have free healthcare so our first stop would always be general medicine for assessement. Only then would we be directed towards a specialty doctor, if needed
YES!! and That's why I enjoyed it as well. I also liked how the episodic characters are in other eps with follow…
I loved that one, although I cried during that one. And the patient with fibromyalgia too, it's awful when we're suffering but no-one cares or understands 😔
Wait so basically first episode, we find victim in a bathtub full of acid and we think it's suicide? Is the victim a hardcore masochist? And the police only thinks it may not be suicide because the hotel had no CCTV? Didn't the acid... you know clued them in? Say what you will about western police shows, at least no one would deduce suicide from that crime scene 😑
It's not they don't have, it's because the serial killer is a copycat.It is actually common for authorities consulting…
Putting under a spoiler tag, sorry
That is interesting, I didn't know serial killers were actually used as consultants but it makes sense, I guess in a twisted kind of way.
The thing here is that I don't think Mantis is a psychopath. She is a case of extreme abuse when she just breaks and ends up dispensing her own brand of justice. Kind of like Batman. Yes, I think Batman is more villain than hero xD But she displays emotions, love for her kid, etc.
A Ra however, is a classic psychopath, which is pretty much apparent since the beginning, with animal killings, which are pretty common when psychopaths end up killing. Of course not all psychopaths are killers, just like not all killers are psychopaths. But the thing here is that they aren't the same, so Mantis shouldn't really be able to "relate".
“ Just hiring the serial killer as a profiler….”That’s your takeaway?
I have no takeaway because I didn't finish watching the show yet. But yes, for now my view of part of the show is that it's a ridiculous thing to do. Killers don't all think alike and it was established quite early that this wasn't as much a copycat as someone 'evolving' as a killer. Mantis speaks like a profiler, someone who actually studies patterns in human behaviour instead of a person who killed others because of her own situation and life choices. That doesn't give her insight into every criminal's mind. Hope this clarifies
I'm still in ep 4 but I kinda wish the romance is between the Akane and Kazushi rather than Naoki. I kinda want…
This. Akane and Kazushi have really good chemistry, not the same with Akane and Naoki. He doesn't show any feelings for her so far (until ep 6 at least) and they don't seem to go well together. But ya know, it's just dreams, I guess, he's the ML yadda yadda
I never really liked Park Shin Hye's acting all that much, always thought she was mid, but she ate in this drama. Turns out powerful, self-assured women roles suit her better than the usual roles she plays. Even in Sisyphus while she was combat ready she still felt fragile and kinda cried all the time, typical Shin Hye role. I think she's been playing unsuitable roles a bit too, since her acting is loads better here. And Kim Jae Yeoung needs more love, he's a pretty good actor himself casting directors don't sleep on this man!
Is this really 1890? Clothes and interactions have more of a 1980s vibe. Then again I'm no expert on clothes from the region from any period so maybe it's canon. Would love to know, I can't find examples of late 19th century clothing from Malacca on Google 😔
