I don´t understand the last scene. maybe someone has a theory? Jae I is sitting on the top of her house (she is probably the master of the house,... because no one else lives). and we can clearly hear a sound or a noise and than she smiles. and than the snow-scene. is she dead in the end too? I mean, did she fall from the house - on purpose? 🤔
I like the diversity of Hwang In Youp and like almost everything he does ... except for this drama. i had several tries and stopped after 11 episodes now. i especially find his role somehow inappropriate. the FL seems like a child in contrast to the ML's role. it bothered me a lot. i find it awkward. maybe he should play more mature roles. he definitely has it in him with his looks and voice. about the story: at some point it was quite annoying that they didn't talk to each other or constantly misunderstood each other. that's drama, I know - but here it was just too obvious and sometimes just unnecessary in the story. I tried several times for Hwang In Youp's sake, but it doesn't work ... 😐
Holy moly. this was sooooooooo good! I didn't skip even a second. Seo Kang Joon was just awesome in this! and all other actors were superb. some scenes are disgusting (because of torture), but the story, the acting ... just wow
I was pretty skeptical about the two MCs at first. but the chemistry between them was amazing! it was unique. someone wrote that the show was like a warm hug - that's how I felt. I really liked the sensitivity aspect. there was no annoying scene where the characters didn't talk. they came back and explained. it was refreshing. many people think the 2 old aunties are great - hmm, for me they were a bit too much with the affected pronunciation. they were cute, but also a bit annoying at times. I found the 2nd couple interesting - the story here was also unique, like with the main couple. some write here that KSJ's role was like in Business Proposal. i watched both and don't feel that way at all ... but I liked her much more here than in Business Proposal 👀 and the ML was phenomenal - I really hope LJW will get more main roles!!!!
i see quite a lot of comments here about how slow the development in this show is. i have to say, that's what i like about it. i think that's exactly the time we need here to understand some things and how tricky the case actually is.
For me, the police officers are the highlights of this show because they seem a bit more “real” than usual in the series. JSJ's role is almost brilliant in my opinion, how he can foresee some things and how he gets information - efficiently. his charm is superb too. for me the chemistry here was good in every direction.
yes, the reporter definitely has a strange role here ... i was hoping all along that she would be more involved in the "team", but nope. her decisions just felt wrong.
overall for me personally close to a masterpiece - with all the lows and highs. not perfect, but imperfectly charming and “real”
i wouldn't compare it to Stranger either (although that's exactly how i came up with it because someone recommended it) and i watched Stranger right before this one. i'd rather compare it to Misaeng (please don't lynch me for that :-D)
Have you watched The Good Detective? He's one of the main lead and I hope he gets to play another role like that.
it may not be a masterpiece, but it's very close :-D season 1 was quite good. a lot of the developments aren't as predictable as they usually are in detective shows like this. the chemistry is pretty good because the roles feel “real”. and JSJ's role is special - almost brilliant actually, the way he investigates and can foresee things. but that's not emphasized as much. and that makes it even more “real”. i would highly recommend it, am currently on season 2 and looking around to see what else JSJ has done. he's absolutely underrated.
Genuinely, how much of that typical cringe humor does this have?Thing is I really like the cast, I'm already familiar…
I agree. I held out until episode 12 and really skipped a lot ... i really enjoy Jung Hae In's acting skills, but for me he wasn't really convincing here ... maybe it was because of the dialogues? they were kind of empty.
even the 2nd leads were kind of super cringy for me. it was dripping with sugar syrup at times. you can do that, but in some scenes it was just too much.
what i like most about k-dramas is the warmth that even thriller themes can pull off. i totally missed that here. the actors are all great, don't get me wrong, but there was a spark missing
another thing I noticed: the faces and the whole setting in general was way too ‘clean’ and fake. of course this is often the case, but I just expected more from Jung Hae In's drama ... I've already watched One Spring Night and Something in the Rain several times - they can't be topped.
i thought the beginning with the murder story was really creepy, especially how they portrayed it... after that it eased up and they focused on the story. i already suspected the murderer in the earlier episodes. i thought the focus on young Mi Jin's story was pretty good and also situations with old Mi Jin. the actress is sooooo good! but then, halfway through, the story changed. maybe from the confession by Ko Won. after that, the relationship between the two was weird and kind of unresolved, i think. even though there was a scene about it later, it wasn't really well resolved for me.
i found the MFL very helpful and committed in the beginning. but later she became quite selfish. especially where the ML's mum was found. and anyway, where was the chemistry? completely gone. even when they kissed. i think something got lost in the later episodes.
the romance between Mi Jin's friend and ML's friend was a bit forced. it didn't look at all believable to me ...
this was just PERFECT!!!!!! please give us more actor Yoon Doo Joon 😇
