Very funny in a surprising way. It's good to see how much the superiors care for the rookie Kang Seon Jae's psychological state (they must have watched D.P. lol). This is fresh. It's always great to watch Park Ji Hoon's acting. Yoon Kyung Ho is also one the very best actors. Lee Hong Nae is delighful in this. Seems to be his first main role but he's comedy gold. Supported by the sound effects which are the icing on top of the cake.

Rating also depends on the number of raters. This just started. Too early days to worry.

The Killing Vote, Nice to Not Meet You. She was already FL in Welcome 2 Life (2019)

Was fully expecting not to like this, but surprisingly, I do, at least so far. Im Ji Yeon is brilliant.

Jang Ok Jung (2013) is about the life of concubine Hui Bin. https://kisskh.at/5570-jang-ok-jung. I watched it for Yoo Ah In.

Definitely on the weaker side of c-noir dramas. The last 3 episodes were far too melodramatic. Went full on to trying to manipulate emotions. I can't stand it, and will never fall for it. First episodes were good. I'm not a fluff watcher but c-crime drama watcher, expressly (have watched nearly all Light On / iQIYI suspense theatre dramas). 6.5.

He is overacting. That affects my rating also, that he is cartoonish sets the level at 7.0 for me. Director is to blame hence I don't expect this one to get any better. He was good in Karma.

"The infamous Lee Choon-jae serial murder case, which haunted Korea for decades, are returning to the small screen in the new crime thriller “The Scarecrow.” https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/entertainment/shows-dramas/20260413/the-scarecrow-revisits-infamous-serial-murder-case

A fact, not a propability.

Pls tell me you have made an effort to understand the cultural and political situation in late 1980s in SOUTH KOREA

For once and for all, this is not a copy of True Detective. It is based on a real life murder case, 1986.

Entirely different country, entirely different culture, entirely different historical situation.


If you don't respect k-dramas unique qualities, why are you on this site?

Pls stop spreading this misinformation. This is based on a real life case: https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/entertainment/shows-dramas/20260413/the-scarecrow-revisits-infamous-serial-murder-case

It can already be seen that we'll get some substantial flavor of the historical background and atmosphere. This is not just fiction; 1986-1988 SK was still under military rule. Director Park says “It explores how a rural community in the capital region was affected by serial killings in the mid-to-late 1980s, and why the killer wasn’t caught at the time.”

No, it's not. That is clear misinformation. Did you not read the article? Entirely different country and culture and historical situation. Pls, why are you on this site?

Finally a noir crime k-drama. This is based on a real life case: https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/entertainment/shows-dramas/20260413/the-scarecrow-revisits-infamous-serial-murder-case

No it is not. If a drama is a remake, it is mentioned in the description.

No. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/entertainment/shows-dramas/20260413/the-scarecrow-revisits-infamous-serial-murder-case

Acting masterclass truly. I've loved these guys in everything I've seen from them. PS: Lee Hee Joon is an absolute darling in the movie Handsome Guys.

you haven't watched any. lol.

some of my favorite scenes/things:
- the magical flute fight (mindblowing)
- Feng Cheng throwing herself off the cliff (she didn't die btw. Wonderful landscape)
- Oyang Feng having a serious conversation with Dan Min with whilst entirely buried and only his head sticking from the ground
- Oyang Feng mud battle
- the headgear getting thrown around in the tailor shop fight
- how our 2 MLs are masters of martial arts but deep down childish and immature (I thought that was cute)
- Chai Qiong and his conversion: "no matter how great a martial arts master your are, there's always someone better" (what a great funny character)

I'm a fan of director Xu Bing hence I see this a bit differently. Like Fearless Blood, this is a wild road trip that revels on cinematic gorgeousness with a pronounced emphasis on quirkiness and absurdity. Alexander Jodorowsky is the closest reference point. Expect heroic (without reason) sacrifices, lots of duelling and ridiculously gorgeous fight scenes. This is first and foremost a feast for the eyes and doesn't really care to explain the world in which it takes place (even, doesn't take it very seriously). I can see why people who like the original work would not like this at all. 9/10.
