If you don't like dumb/clueless fl's like me, I would not recommend this one. The history part is too important to be treated in an 1 hour short drama. There's Chicago Typewriter, Mr. Sunshine and Hymn of Death which treat the occupation period and independence fighters in depth, as should be.
I really like this drama. In ep 9, the conversation about the importance of trust was great writing, imo. In any historical drama, palace plotting gets a lot of screen time. In ep. 10, I skipped some of those parts and the historical flashbacks which were unnecessary, imo. But that was the first time I was skipping anything. I'm feeling the 4 main characters, which for me is a sign of an engaging drama.
Please note that when writers say "Netizens think" it is the writer who has that opinion. Netizens have different opinions, as anybody can easily see from the comments in this site (3 articles so far). These writers, so damn stupid and pretentious.
People just repeat like parakeets "this a crime, he is a criminal." Let's think just one step further. In Saudi Arabia, homosexuality is a crime. Is that acceptable? In South Korea, prescribing abortion pills is a crime. Is that acceptable? In most OECD countries, using drugs is not a crime, only selling. Should using marijuana be a crime? Most countries are preparing to allow not only use but growing marijuana for personal use. Jailing marijuana or cocaine users will lead to the largest prison population of the world. In a just society, celebrities should not be treated more harsly than average citizens. Nobody will test just the average citizens hair or raid their homes.
Sorry, but he took illegal drugs, that is crime. Perhaps he won't go to jail, but if yeah, it won't be unfair.

I was considering getting in a friendly argument with some of those commenters to remind them, if they can express…
exactly. This is not just a fansite, as many seem to think. There's a use for evaluation and reflective commenting too. With such a critical mass of people commenting and rating, it's gotten really useful. I always look at comments before trying out a drama.
One of the reasons for being here is to learn to observe and tolerate different opinions. But attacks on people…
I suspect they might be PR people. Of course there are also pure lovers, but those have watched more than 100 dramas. I doubt that lovers would make new accounts just to promote a drama.
Hello Monster (I Remember You in Viki) is really entertaining. It's not boring, at all. There's humor and above all, a fantastic cast of actors. Seo In Guk is charismatic, the cops are funny in a good way, Jang Na Ra is badass. The "found family" mutually supportive homicide team is one of the things I liked best. There are at least 4 murders in each episode, so it's not aiming for realism. It's not dark or gore. I didn't find the motives of the murderers convincing at all, but that's not a big deal here, imo. Just fun to watch.
Pls understand that comments sections are for commenting. I'm all for k-drama world domination. But that means also trying to figure out why some dramas are magic and why some dramas just don't have the quality of writing that make them worthwhile. K-drama's success can also be it's downfall, if scripts are not worked on long enough, if scripts are not reviewed carefully. If producers are lazy or too hasty in accepting weak manusripts, that's no good. People will always disagree on dramas and that's more than okay. But getting crazy about people not agreeing with you, is not okay. Dramas are different from music, because when it comes to music nobody sees the point in discussing genres that are not for them. In music, dissing someone's tastes is a deep insult. In my view, dramas are different, because most people watch all genres and dramas are not a deeply physical thing and completely intertwined with one's identity (tribally).

One thing I've noticed and the reason I follow this conversation is that mostly those people who have issues with negative comments have a profile that contains only Kokdu in the watched list. Are MDL discussions and comments now considered so important that the business is doing reputation control? Whatever, they go about in the wrong way, personal attacks on people commenting are just awful and terrible to read.

Very correct. Indeed. I can see that above 32 (!!!!!) agree with someone who says expressing a negative comment = throwing a tantrum. Pls all 32, respond to this so I can block you.
Nice beginning, although nothing mind-blowing. I already like the main actors so much from their earlier dramas, so def going to go on with this for the 12 episodes. Bang Min Ah's vibes are so good, exactly what I need atm.
Always depends on the person who's receiving the recommendation. For men, I've recommended mostly Vagabond and Vincenzo. For young adults, Alchemy of Souls. For gamers, Memories of the Alhambra. For women, It's Okay Not to Be Okay.
