I watched most of Ep 19 in fast-forward mode. Changing the story from 16 episodes to 20 really slooowwwed it down. I am still looking for the 'black humor' that others write about. I guess that they mean that it comes from Professor Cha, but I find him to be much more sad than funny. During most of the drama, I thought that I would end up rating this a 10, but it is about to slide below 9.

To each his own, I guess. I fail to see how this could have been more boring. I never gave a one-star rating before.

Thank you to everyone who replied. I began to watch episode 2, but still did not like the first 15 minutes. I decided to jump to the last 15, thinking that I would drop the series completely if something there did not grab me. Well, I was mesmerized by what I saw, so I went back and watched the middle section. I guess that I will be watching episode 3 tonight.

The description says that this is a comedy. I just finished the first episode and did not see anything to laugh at. Is it really a drama? If it is really about back-stabbing and status-seeking, I am not sure that I want to continue.

lesle -- You are very wise. You have found a new career as a movie-title writer.

I think that the problem here is that she had so little to work with. Was this really the best script that was offered to her? We will never know.

I agree with everything you said, except for your comments about Lee Yoo Ri. I think that she is Korea's finest actress, but that was not enough to make me like Hide And Seek. I have never re-watched any Kdrama in its entirety, but I went through Father Is Strange a second time, stopping at all of her scenes. Many people have hailed that performance. I hope you give it a try.

I find that I usually agree with your comments, but the performances of Park Bo Young and Kim Won Hae carried me through this. I gave it a 7.5 overall.

I agree with Laura SK about this. I have tried three times to get through the first episode, but without success. I am out-of-sync with the rest of the world on this.

I usually complain about movies that are rated too highly by the public. In this case, it is just the opposite. Jo Jung Suk does his usual fine work and the script was a surprise to me, especially the end in which the police and general public get it wrong (I don't think that rates a 'spoiler' notation). Those who only consider movies that are rated at 8.0 and higher will be missing a decent production here.

I just finished episode 10. I cannot believe how slowly the plot unfolds. Is this a cure for insomnia? Is it worth continuing?

Because she was kidnapped. Didn't you watch the movie? Besides, "she" was not the girl who was kidnapped. Maybe you should watch it again.

That is why they make vanilla and chocolate. People have different tastes.

I have asked MDL staff a couple of times how many ratings it will take to get this movie included in the lists of top movies. At first I was told 200. When passing that total did not do it, I was told 250. Encourage your friends to view it and leave a rating. That way, more people will be exposed to it when looking through top-rated films.

I may be wrong, of course, but I thought that the trip to the field/stream was a last picnic and also a ruse to fool others into thinking that they had taken the body to a crematorium. In fact, they cremated her in the bathhouse.

Lesle: I agree. the fact that so few people have rated this baffles me.

I feel that Lee Yoo Ri is one of the world's great actors. Why is she in this rubbish? Why isn't she offered better material?

Pranav, it is a shame that you cannot express yourself without being vulgar.

This is the first time I have seen Suzy in anything. I feel as if I am watching Jung So Min's sister. Their mannerisms are so similar.
I am only eight episodes in, but so far I am pleasantly surprised. I assumed, from the descriptions of the plot, that I would not enjoy it, so I passed on it for months. I am not sure if it deserves and 8.8 rating, but let's see what the next 24 episodes bring.

Lee Yoo Ri is my favorite actor in the world. I usually wait for dramas to complete their run before watching them, so that I don't have to suffer the week-long wait for the next episode, but for her, I will watch each episode as soon as I am able.
