These characters are making me barf. Where's Justitia when you need her?

After some reading, DID patients' alters that are based on real people in their lives are known as introjections. It's quite interesting. The patient might have found characteristic(s) of the person to be of value in getting them through their situation, and creates an "interpretation" of the person. The introjection may or may not have memories of the real person (obtained from the patient). However, the Hyeri alter is not aware of Eunho as a person - which means she does not have the real Hyeri's memories, or she only has some of them. She thinks she has a scar on her arm, but it is not clear if she remembers how she got it.

The real Hyeri probably had similar traits to her alter - I suspect, possibly being on the autism spectrum. She might have been socially awkward and introverted, making her reliant on Eunho as a guardian. That's why Eunho especially blames herself for her disappearance.

It's not completely accurate. It gets some things about it right, but there's at least one detail that is wrong. Though at least it doesn't paint DID in a bad light like many movies/shows, and has a "neutral" stance about it.

"I wonder where my dad is."
"In the cemetery, of course."
Girl 😂

"Hey Miyeon, unfortunately I'm locked in the freezer truck and you have to open the door for me", "What's that, you ask? That's right, it's a dead body." Then proceeds to rant to herself about how the ten minute appearance of her photo on TV was not worth it. Priorities! 😂

I like your analysis. I didn't think much about the flickering light, but now I think it might develop into some sort of trigger for the switch, if her condition worsens in the future (which I believe it already is). I wonder if what's being shown to us is actually missing some events, or is partially false. Eunho and Hyeri may not be very reliable narrators, and this story is largely being told from their POV.

Based on the information so far, I think Hyeri might be a projection of what Eunho perceives to be a happy life. She feels guilty and indebted to the real Hyeri who disappeared, and the DID may be a coping mechanism that gives Eunho some (false) reassurance that her sister is living happily wherever she is. Eunho definitely knows of her condition, which explains why she visited the therapist months ago. Eunho is also aware of when she will switch personalities, so she deliberately lives on 2 separate floors of the apartment, hers on the upper floor and Hyeri's on the lower one. She enters Hyeri's floor for her to wake up as Hyeri, and seems to want to hide herself from Hyeri. She's condoning the existence of her Hyeri personality because it's making life more tolerable for her, but it's a very unsustainable way of living and her mind's gonna go haywire sooner or later. The point where Hyeri finds out that she's Eunho, is the starting point of this.

It's quite unrealistic, but I like this premise.

But apart from the fact that the leads are exes, how is this similar to Samdalri? Their dynamic is completely different here, they're long time colleagues and aren't reuniting after many years.

The story and tone so far is very different from what this synopsis suggests. It's very unconventional but risky imo. I think I need a few more episodes to find out where they're going with this.

For me, the part where she's imitating the guy's abusive relationship tactics wasn't really working. He's a literal psychopath and his real self wouldn't be affected by that. I know, she's a demon and is putting him under some spell but it doesn't look very convincing. It's nice to see her beat him up though, haha.

Episode 11... What an episode! Shit is getting so real!

Based on the first 2 episodes, this is pretty much a dark fantasy drama with some crime/action in it. You shouldn't expect much realism here. Some stuff, including the legal scenes, also can't be taken too seriously. Much like the director's previous movie Brave Citizen, I see that most of the entertainment/satisfaction comes from the FL beating up the baddies lol. PSH is good in the action scenes.

Warning, first episode has a pretty explicit depiction of domestic violence.

Wow. The FL gives an abuser a slap on the wrist so that he will have the chance to commit murder... So she can later kill him and fulfill her goal of punishing a murderer. This is more screwed up than I thought. Looks like she's an actual anti-hero.

Also, wtf is that wolf like monster at the end? Lmaoo. Anyway, entertaining episode overall.

The first 2 episodes will be released today. Then the rest of the episodes will air on Fri and Sat in the following weeks, as per normal.

Tbh I feel the same way about his acting. There's just something awkward about him in whatever I've seen him in.

I think it finished filming back in 2022. It's actually not that uncommon. The industry is in a crisis now with channels greatly reducing their air slots, so a lot of dramas that have finished production are sitting in the storage. Likewise more projects are getting cancelled before production even starts.

The whole thing involving LJW happened back in 2016. Where was all this commotion when he was leading big dramas in the years after? He's led a romance drama and big shows like Voice and Bulgasal. Sweet Home season 3 aired barely a few months ago, yet I didn't see anyone complain about him.

I can't say I have a proper stance about his issue because of so many conflicting statements. But if people want to make a point about him, they need to be consistent about it. Call him out in all his projects, not just a select drama/genre. Call out all the channels involved in casting him, including Netflix. Otherwise naturally, nothing's going to happen to him, like ever. FYI, he belongs to one of the biggest entertainment agencies in SK. He's going to keep getting roles and big projects.

That would be weird considering how the ratings of his other dramas after the scandal don't seem to be affected. Not that the rating on MDL actually matters though.

A normal dude with this disorder has already been portrayed in a drama before - who's not shown as dangerous, crazy or mental. It's called Kill Me Heal Me.
