or... some people just don't enjoy this one show, but overall like thriller and mystery genres.
We truly need to stop with this generalization that is someone does not enjoy one show, they must just either dislike the show genre, not know how to appreciate it etc. No... it's just this one show.
(to be clear, I am enjoying Blind, but I disagree with the idea people dislike it because they are impatient with thriller/mystery genre).

they told us what he has on Sung Hoon - there were members of jury that were related to people involved in the case by past encounters and jobs, hence the verdict was invalid and the Chinese guy can demand retrial - which would be a stain on Sung Hoon career.

Expecting reviews for a show that barely started airing is not a way to go. Realistically speaking, reviews should be written either after finishing or dropping the show. I wish admins would just block the option of writing reviews for airing shows altogether.

but I do agree that there are truly not that many comments under this title. Might be the lack of the extremely popular cast, that usually brings more viewers to the table... Or lack of the romance tag, that also usually has more viewers interested.

Everyone I talked to about this show picked judge as the killer. I have not seen one person even entertaining the idea juror might be the killer. So if that's what the writers were going for - they failed.

It's for sure fun. I was entertained through the all the 4 episodes that are out.

I did not see anyone calling writers stupid in the comment section... nor calling viewers stupid.

Plot holes are a mark of either lazy or poor writing - that's a fact. Plot holes are not a trope in genre or a writing tool. Some things can already be pointed out as plot holes - minor things like parts of the investigation that plot wise are already done, so we can be more or less sure they will not come back in future episodes.

That said, 4 episodes into a drama, in most cases, for major plot aspects, we can't talk about plot holes. That conversation can only happen after the drama is over and questions, actions and plots that were introduced were not explained.

But your idea that plot holes are the way to make a drama last these episodes and be entertaining, otherwise it would end right away is not correct. You can have either - smart villains/killers and smart cops, smart villains and stupid cops, stupid villains and stupid cops. For now it falls under smart killer and stupid cops. But it is possible to write a complex and longer story with smart protagonists that do their job right, and the show not ending on episode one.

ps. I scrolled down a bit more and actually saw one person getting way too emotional about this show and calling people involved shitheads. But I always believe that if you disagree with someone you should talk to them rather than write about it in a separate comment. Especially since it's literally just that one user, so it's not like making a separate comment seems more efficient (how it would be if there were more people who should read it as a reply to their actions).

I mean, they will either try to explain how it was rigged and it will make no sense, or they will just say it was rigged without explanation. In any case, there is no way they can provide a good explanation for it 🤣

I honestly don't think it's that clever, but rather predictable. Before they rolled in with all the hints, my first pick for the killer would be the judge. Why? Because that's how crime shows roll. For me, it would be big brain energy if Sung Joon was actually the killer - putting a twist on viewers expectations.

Jurors are not recommended. Random citizens of legal age are picked and inform by mail, and from that group another smaller group is randomly picked, here with the balls 🙃

Obviously for the plot it was rigged, tho makes little sense. It could be potentially possible for the 1st selection - the mailing one is something that technically could be done, but how they rigged a picking balls from a ball is beyond me 🤣

I was a bit confused about the past story - are they going for even 1% of realism and they tried to explain how this was even possible to exist, or are they just going - fuck it, shit is ridiculous. but an interesting story? The more scenes I have watched, the more I understood no one cares if this could happen in real life, as long as it's entertaining.

Also... I'm sorry for the people who got killed/will get killed for the revenge but am I more sorry or happy to see the evil assholes suffer? 🤔 The villains are one of the reasons this screams soft makjang - they are comically evil, dense and hypocritical. there is NO complexity about them, they are there to be evil 🤣

The picking of jurors was rigged - how tho... with balls randomly being picked I don't know yet lol But I think they will try to tell us that everyone is related to the past story one way or another. Another reason why it screams soft majang - dramatic connections and reveals that have no place in reality.

Sung Joon? No brain. Dude was admitted to the hospital, someone got killed at that time... and instead of thinking how anyone with brain would - I guess he was not the killer, he went - how did he kill her? 🤡 And later the whole police goes "AH YES THE COPYCAT!" even tho the story is far less probable and they have to do some mental gymnastics to make it work. Tho that kind of makes sense - police would rather create a theory that will not expose their mistake than admit they were wrong.

What was the exact moment I knew this show has no braincells and is just stupid entertainment? When th shaman lady started barking... that's the moment I knew I should not take this show seriously and just enjoy the over the top crime makjang ride.

Also... why they forgot about defense wounds. Coco mom literally broke her nails trying to fight the killer. They were not even trying to check if anyone has any wounds while they were investigation 🤣 Love me plot holes, no brain actions like that - typical of a makjang.

Taec's character is for sure not the killer, we all know it. They are trying to be smart about it, creating all sorts of misdirects, but in such a lazy way I cannot. Honestly, they biggest plot twist of this show would be him actually being the killer 🤡

More likely Taec is the small kid with big ears (obviously), and the current killer is the one that took the lead in that group of kids and was sharing his food and planning the escape. And Sung Hoon is that kid.

Random thing I love about crime shows - all serial killers being into arts lol Making scrapbooks for the victims, here a small figurines etc 🤣

The overacting from all the villains is AMAZING. So funny and entertaining I am loving it hahaha

Conclusion - everything about this show is makjang crime bullshit. I will watch it for entertainment and laughs, not thrills. Will enjoy the whole ride and then rate it like 7 🤣

This is such a crime makjang I am having so much fun. everything is obvious, dumb and ridiculous - exactly how makjangs should be lol

More about my thoughts on episode 3 & 4 and why I think it's soft makjang in a comment below.

I've seen so many bad horror... this was refreshing 🤣

The twist by the end, that she actually got the kid back to lift the curse from herself and put on the child/finish what they asked her in the past timeline was wild. It added more of a psychological dread to it... the fact she involved her child willingly and then did everything she could to fix it after she bonded with the kid and regretted her choice...

he most likely did not do it. It would make no sense, coz he only took 2 pills, not to mention the killing was not a reaction to hallucination - he would have to get all the stuff he needed (rope etc), go to the dude's house and then all the interrogation/torture and then kill - the side effects of the pills would not explain such a complex actions. It's most likely a misdirect - they want us to think he did it, when he did not. Makes no sense not to show the killers face, but reveal it few scenes later in the same episode.

exactly this^ And it's not even well written mafia melodrama, hence it becomes boring. The plot is so ridiculous I fail to feel any emotions towards it except from frustration.

so what you are saying, just because you have specific association to the word, is should be changed in the description?

Literally it makes zero sense. Sure, I can believe one or two people would rather pretend the problem does not exist, than calling the police. But everyone? Not ONE person was like - we need to all sit down together and find a way out of it? Not one person was like - we will worry about Tae Shik's honor AFTER the dude gets locked up and everyone is relatively safe? I cannot with the sudden lack of brain cells.

Anything and everything that happened to everyone who knew the dad woke up from coma - I do not feel bad about. You literally asked for it. You KNEW he is dangerous, you KNEW he is even capable of beating people up, killing them, that he runs a fucking mafia... and you were just chilling doing nothing? Hope for what? That he will just leave?

Both doc and Gyeo Re knew he woke up, why their conversation were still cryptic? Why not tell Gyeo Re - his personality did not change, he is pretending. His injuries were not severe enough for the personality change. He is lying. Let's figure out how to deal with it now.

No one doing anything about this makes zero sense. Even the mob makes little sense. So the current head knew Seok Joon is not cut for this line of work and is a "softie" like Gyeo Re and Joon Kyung, and yet he kept him close and asked him to do some serious job? And then he is surprised he finally broke down? Even tho he knew he can;t handle all this in long term and he just pretends? LoGiC.

Also, on what planet the new dude that took over the mafia would be like - a yeah the old boss showed up, time to give up all my power 🤡 He would assassinate the old boss the same day he got the call🤣

The whole mob part of the show truly brings nothing to the show. All the messages could be told without it having so much focus. It could all be just a background/back story... I'm just so annoyed about it all. Every time anything related to it happens, it's so ridiculous I get annoyed, and it does not matter how amazing the next scene might be, I still have the bad taste left from the previous one.

The level of disappointment I feel about the last 4-6 episode is ridiculous. It went from touching slice of life to soft makjang with no brain. More about it under spoiler.

You won't miss much if you skip it 😂😂

Realistically speaking, this is not a mystery in any rom-com. It does not matter whom she meet first, and if she is already in love with one or the other - everyone always knows who the main lead is 🤣
