The punchable bad guy teasing them is the writers teasing us. The cops are annoying with their everyday life chit…
Even though I wouldn't use 'draggy' to describe the episode, I actually still agree with all of your points. Another thing, all the characters have a habit of telling Gye Hoon that it's all his fault that his sister went missing. And it's really starting to bug me that they're easily blaming him when he was also a kid.
Also, Yeo Jin Goo's acting is great as usual which helps redeem a lot of the negatives for me.
Ok i was not liking that this will be short 30 minute in 8 episode but turn out it was wrong information here…
It's not completely unusual for japanese dramas. From what I've seen, some first episodes are 1hr, but then go back to ~40 minutes from episode 2 onwards, which is more of a typical length
What in the hell was that finale? Why is the culprit a literally who? Why would you ask the guy who your mother…
Well, the plan wasn't really carried out in the end. But yeah, her asking him was weird, but she was only about 10. But, at the same time, the fact that it was an accident and he was trying to cover his ass made sense
01/07/22 episode 5 and the police officer bugs me so much. I was tearing up at the start of ep 4 and he just kept pressuring her. He's so insensitive
13:38 update - ep 9 and turns out there's another cop even more annoying than katsuragi...
14:28 finished and I'm exhausted. I started off stressed, then, I became annoyed (at certain side characters), and then, just impatient. Something about ep 8 and 9 really pissed me off. I haven't felt this stressed out from a drama since Flower of Evil in 2020.
my notes from ep 5: (in spoilers below)and yes, it is very ranty. But no, I will not drop this drama until I know…
EVERYONE'S PRIORITIES AND MORALS ARE MESSED UP!!!
the sensei's parents (rlly just the dad) are condemning her only because it will ruin the family's reputation
the boy's classmates are bullying him and calling them 'shameless', while their parents are saying the reason for his relationship is because his mother spoiled him...? because that makes total sense.
the sensei's friend is enabling this shit by actually saying 'what's wrong with a teacher and HS student falling in love?' (are you kidding me with this one - there must be something wrong if you don't see a problem with this)
the boy's mother condemns him, but only goes so far as to say that 'it's okay to have crushes on older women' rather than having a problem with the woman seducing her son. and then later in the episode she kinda hints at something... and I don't know if I imagined it but NO. just NO.
the sensei's parents are getting death threats and all she can say is that she's not been able to do anything she's wanted to do, but that somehow justifies this ILLEGAL relationship?
but how has the police not been called and the teacher not already been fired???
oh, and the sensei's fiancee's reaction is jealousy: 'he's 17 so how is he going to provide for you? can he make you happy'
I do genuinely feel bad for this boy. he is a victim but s being treated horribly. and she's an adult who somehow has the nerve to form this messed up relationship with her student (who is a MINOR), but can't break up the engagement she has with a man she doesn't love all because of her annoying ass father...
and yes, it is very ranty. But no, I will not drop this drama until I know how it ends. And the rant is more focused on the characters rather than the story itself. And I have watched teacher-student dramas before, and I have sort of liked some and disliked others. But I do not condone this relationship in real life at all.
This drama manages to balance so much - the serious topics of murder, but also the dangers of being a woman, alongside the comedic aspect. It's done perfectly and appropriately, in my opinion.
This drama has some great opening and ending scenes. The first 10 mins were great and satisfying. Whilst the last 10 minutes were melancholy, yet still intriguing.
Someone in the twitter had already predicted the real identity of the male cop after ep.4So I kinda saw this coming…
I actually already guessed who the male cop was a while back. As for the chef, I saw a comment o MDL and it just made total sense. Even though I knew, the reveal was still satisfying. And yes, I agree about the sister being alive.
Also, Yeo Jin Goo's acting is great as usual which helps redeem a lot of the negatives for me.
