Cruel City. Stealth Walker. Bad Guys.

PS. wow, never thought I'd spot another BeWHY fan around here!

Agreed. Park Jae Bum (or his team) also wrote Chief Detective 1958. During watching the first 2 eps of Fiery Priest 2, I saw many similarities to Chief Detective 1958 and was thinking, why did the writer have to take up so much work, bc it seems that he has already used up most of his good ideas. But, The Good Manager, Vincenzo, and The Fiery Priest 1 will forever remain top tier k-drama classics.

Really can't stomach this. The humour is cringey and forced. Not going to waste my time bc there are tons of better dramas out there. If this is for you, enjoy. Do not feel offended or call me a hater; it's not very serious if everybody's not on board. I like a different type of humour, Dong Jae, Mr. Plankton and Bitter Sweet Hell, were more to my taste.

This was so good, I hope for season 2. Funny, suspenseful, great acting, great writing. Poor Dong Jae, I really felt for him. Always driven into a corner. Really enjoyed every minute of this drama. 9/10.

The humour feels forced. Hope this gets better.

C-noir drama exactly in my taste. Starts slowly, but gets more and more tense towards the end. This is dark but not depressing. Plenty of twists and turns that keep the suspense up troughout. We really get attached to the characters. There may be a ton of plotholes, but that didn't bother me much. I gave this 8.5/10.

all the rudies seem to be from the US. blocked. This type of aggression just makes the site uncomfortable.

Yep, he's very probably the villain.

Yes, true. I couldn't watch Judge From Hell, beyond the first ep. It was all objectionable to me. Here, it's good to see the idea of a big corporation swallowing a small craft beer business questioned.

The writer is the same as in Secret Mother, which was a very well written mystery drama. (In Secret Mother, the 1st episode was slightly messy and misleading genrewise like the 1st episode in Face Me). We can expect the slow unravelling of the secret in the coming episodes. A current crime which is connected to a past crime (that's my hunch not a spoiler).

I like this, although it is what it is: a Disney-style k-drama: fast paced on steroids, a fight scene every 10 mins, very little character depth. Jo Woo Jin has a charismatic presence. He's great. Ji Chang Wook is a virtuoso actor once again doing a whole new type of role. I like the suffocating feeling we get when everybody except the ML is a bad cop.

Lee Min Ki's role is too similar to his role in Crash. He was excellent in My Liberation Notes but we've seen him as this asocial traumatized character too many times already.

The humour is cringey. Why do the ahjummas have to shout all their lines (director, I know you can do better than this based on your earlier work). We're supposed to laugh at their silliness and that doesn't sit well with me. I prefer laughing with people instead of laughing at them. Rural community dramas are my thing exactly, but only if the characters are portrayed in a warm and sympathetic manner. I hope there's a shift in tone in the next episodes. There's no hope for honed stylishness in this drama, that much is clear by now. But if the characters become humans instead of caricatures, it would be watchable. MCs good acting is not enough to carry a whole drama.

true. 2nd ep showed it's exactly that.

I agree, it's best to get into a drama when at least 4 episodes are out. I don't know who the writer is. This gives me Once Upon A Small Town vibes. That was a drama I just couldn't watch. But I'm also getting Wok Of Love vibes (same director), and WOL was a drama that got much better after the first 2 episodes. So, we'll see. ML being an empath is a nice premise.

Black Out, Day of Kidnapping, Duty After School Part 1.

I sense Met-As-Kids trope coming. 1st ep was kinda silly and unsubstantial. Don't know whether I'll keep watching. Cute fluff just isn't my thing.

I completely agree with you.

They really seemed like different people. Suddenly all three mains became all about advancing their careers and focus suddenly shifted to how newspeople are unaffected by anything else but the news. SHS acting in the last episodes irritated me as well. Indeed, how was that even possible after the fantastic job she did in the earlier episodes.. She seemed to go back to some of the mannerisms that irritated me in Welcome to Samdalri. Yes I really think they started filming from the last episodes.
