What an awful message. Frivolous. I can't get over the fact that Ho Jin should have called the police the moment when he found her in his home with the dagger in her hand

Edward Zhang always has this twinkle in his eyes. His character in Fearless Blood totally cracked me up :) Except he's of course totally different (desperate) in Three Body. What a great actor.
Liu Duan Duan's acting is awesome, with all the microexpressions. I didn't like Tong Qiu's flippant character at the beginning of the drama, but now his pain is really getting under my skin (am currently at ep 30).
I don't know, but cinematography is not really important in this drama. I had a WeTV subscription for some time but it only offered romantic dramas in my region.
I love how this explores serious topics, has lovable characters and isn't pure fluff (am currently at ep 5). Hong…
The hallucinations caused by the brain injury from the accident (shown by the long coma) are actually very dangerous. For example, if a person hears voices (another kind of hallucination) they can order the patient to kill herself or someone else. If Mu Hui is in a stressful situation, the danger increases. She really should be under psychiatric care. It's not true that there is no medication for hallucinations (there are effective medications). That she relies on Ho Jin to be her strength is quite wrong for Ho Jin.
If they once again end this with the message that love is the cure for psychiatric conditions and magically wipe them away (as in Dear Hyeri), I'll be quite angry.
Richard Hammond (Top Gear) is a real life example of how brain injuries can show themselves many years after an accident - even if it seems that the patient is wholly cured.
I love how this explores serious topics, has lovable characters and isn't pure fluff (am currently at ep 5). Hong sisters can always trusted to write well and provide genuinely good, funny moments. I just have a wish about the portrayal of mental health issue caused by the accident and resulting brain injury.
The story of KCIA drug smuggling operation during the military rule had ingredients for a 30 episode drama. Yet they squeezed it into 6 episodes. Like a synopsis without well developed characters, without in-depth exploration of the historical background, without properly giving a life to all the players and characters involved. If this had been a c-drama (like Narcotic Operation) we'd have spent 3 episodes hanging out in Vietnam alone. I really didn't get Woo Do Hwan's role. It's not like we really got to know Baek Ki Tae's family. Or the yakuza family that had max 20 mins screentime during the whole run (so why even introduce it).
Yes, there's going to be S2, but I already struggled to keep up with the plot when the episodes were 1 week apart. Can't imagine to remember anything about this when S2 eventually drops.
I believe Disney had a full script but butchered it just like they did with Arthdal Chronicles' final season. Disney is all action and little character depth or world building.
Jung Woo Sung was absolutely stellar in this though. It's worth watching his acting which, as one of the reviews says, is like he was acting in the real masterpiece of a drama that Made in Korea could have been. I have to mention also Roh Jae Won, he was excellent. Hyun Bin's character is a ruthless murderer and drug trader and people mistook him for a good guy. He was pretty good and shed his usually goofiness but would have needed to go one step further to portray true evil (which can be done by small gestures).

This is a 7.5.
