PS. I thought the "grey" in the heading meant you would highlight incredibly versatile veteran actors like Ahn Jae Sang, Jo Sung Ha, Kim Sang Hwan and Sung Dong Il. But maybe later, right! Really looking forward to more!

I loved this article. These actors deserve all the praise and more. They are some of the greatest actors indeed. Oh Man Suk and Bae Jong Ok are also acting teachers! Shows how good your choices are. Looking forward to your next article! Lee Mi Sook had a double role in Wok of Love and it took me a while to even to notice that: she was so different in those two roles!

Absolutely true. 10 mins is enough to see the ingredients.

The point still being he has a criminal family.

Didn't HO's grandmas run an illegal gambling joint, at least when he was young. Wouldn't this be the reason why he couldn't tell EH about his family. If people got a whiff of that, he would immediately have lost his career. As happened this very week with Knowing Bros' Jinho. He didn't run a gambling site but went to one.

I was also thinking that this could have worked better as a film. I'm just now watching Innocence, and Doubt could have been as exciting as that one as a film.

The pacing is still very slow. I think it's better to wait until it's finished and then binge. Can't finish otherwise. My view of Doubt is influenced by having watched so many great crime and thriller dramas recently. (If you're looking for very good ones I'd recommend Escape From the Trilateral Slopes, The Bad Kids, The First Shot). I absolutely loved Black Out but this isn't anything as grabbing. Just my opionion, no attacks please.

If you like Family By Choice, you will definitely like Our Beautiful Summer.

I've also been thinking about Welcome to Samdalri, that was for me as well another one that didn't really grab me. I didn't like Shin Hye Sun's acting in it either. But she's again the very best in Dear Hyeri. I don't know what it was about these 2 dramas. I guess I found them trying to be audience-pleasing rather than relying on a solid artistic vision. Thrillers and crime dramas can be very emotional and healing, strongly agree. First Responders is a good example of that.

no, it's difficult to watch him

Me too, I've watched Something in The Rain twice. Jung Hae In was so fantastic in STR, Snowdrop and DP, this wasn't really his best role. I love Jung So Min always, and managed to finish because of them.

Two adult women fighting each other and tearing each others hair counts as "humour" here... for me that's a 10 on the cringe factor scale 1-10. Everybody understands humour differently, I like the kind of humour that was present in Bitter Sweet Hell and Killer Paradox. I don't know about the healing...there are so many better dramas out there. I barely managed to finish this one, esp. the last 2 episodes irritated the hell out of me.

I completely agree with what you said

HO is already an adult and people really don't change much. His contempt towards EH is related to his contempt of himself. But his way of putting her down and failing to communicate or acknowledge his own feelings stemming from childhood traumatic events cannot change. It would be awful if they end up together. HO is worn out by his carer role but he doesn't understand it and he won't stop until he breaks down. It would actually be good for him if he marries the girl who wants to take care of the grandmas.

Yes you missed key parts. Maybe watch again the scene where HO brought EH back home after she had been trapped in the trailer.

yes

he was good in Save Me, that's true

I don't think I can watch Lee You Mi, her acting could not be worse. it's a mystery how they give her new roles after Strong Girl Namsoon. Same goes for Woo Do Hwan, wasn't Joseon Attorney enough of a flop. These choices are painful since the writer is the best (IONTBO)

This is so funny. Lee Joon Hyuk's acting is nothing short of perfect. This has good subs now. If you're wondering whether to watch or not, this gives me Better Call Saul vibes (although of course this is an original work and not in any way related to BCS). But I'm wanting Season 2 already based on the first 2 episodes!

yes indeed. She needs to regain her professional confidence. ML is toxic to the max. His childhood is a redeeming factor but I swear that if they end up together I'll drop my rating from 9/10 to 1/10.
