This show is so damn funny. Mind you I'm aware it's not supposed to be, but I find myself laughing my ass off when certain music kicks in that really does not match the moment. My guy is out here creeping and we have romantic atmosphere, my guy starts a workout regimen in hopes of surviving death. We get weird story arcs and characters like the detectives case where a girl gets attacked or the random store clerk guy who moves apartments for him or even the casino chairman, and then they're suddenly irrelevant to the story. I've laughed more than in most comedies, not sure I know what they're trying to do here but hey I've been entertained.
Am I crazy or was the end a little dumb. Maybe, MAYBE if you can say that the father fell for the death fakeout then the point was to help Je yi get away from him, but he didn't. It feels like exposing all the shit he did and have her stay alive would have the exact same affect on him, without the need to live your life on the run and without a valid identity. If he had killed the teacher, then I guess it could also make sense? You sacrifice your first shot at the entrance exam by having him do secret surgery to record him and then imply that he did the same secret surgery shit with your father, it's a stretch but fine I'll accept it. But he got out quickly because he didn't even in fact kill the man. I just feel like Team A went all out and inflicted 15 points of damage to Team B, while suffering 40 points themselves in the process... and we are supposed to accept that as a good plan?
O Su A is this show for me, love her character and while I'm not sold on everything else (actually maybe chairwoman too, hope she stays interesting evil and doesn't just go evil evil), it's worth it just for her and her faces.
Does he fit the full criteria, does she know his name? He was never in her class at school, she did not socilise…
You might be right, I can't recall why I assumed she knew his name, maybe wishful thinking that this guy wasn't obsessed with someone that didn't even know his name? All I can remember now is that things like: his talk with the father, school trips/small town, being friends with her once upon a time friend that also wasn't in his class, his mom buying her house. Those little things made me think she would have heard about him, but you have a point.
Man I just wish this exact same story was told with like 25% less fluff and a guy obsessed with the mystery/magic of it all, not the girl, cause it's a little much.
We get a ton of "analysis", the entire point was just so he could write his 5 little sentences and somehow only now realize he fits the criteria. We spent half an episode on that. The other half was just him being weird as shit, ignoring facts like that he was within 10m of her just a couple of days prior, and the line "I can see her, but she can't see me" stated as if it wasn't some ridiculous statement.
I was holding out hope we were going to find out his obsession was the real curse, and he actually knew about all her courters that got hurt somehow, and that's why it all stopped when she left. But his measuring tape hitting him would just have to be an insane coincidence then and that would be bad writing too so idk how they save this at this point...
I just watched the 2 ep. Can someone explain Why did Jang Joo-won put his hand in the hot grease.
My guess, since they were showing us the Mom also preparing for a fight, is that he was prepping. It's probably been months since he's needed healing (Frank fight) and he's just reminding himself what pain feels like and making sure he can handle it without it slowing him down.
Ok. I am so mixed about my feelings on this. I'll start by saying I LOVED part 1. Loved the family dynamics, loved the comedy bits, loved the shitty people getting their comeuppance. I also am aware that you had to suspend disbelief at some parts, particularly combat stuff. But WHAT happened in this second part?! Starting with episode 45 things just seemed like they threw reason and realism out the door.
When they confront A'yao brother for literally TREASON and MURDER, everyone is so chill with him, they let him talk for ages about blaming his family members and how he was wronged and everyone is just listening intently and the whole time I'm like... "ASK HIM ABOUT YOUR DAD! WHERE IS YOUR DAD, DOES NO ONE CARE! ARREST THIS MF-er", eventually he brings up the dad and says he will only tell FL if he's alone with her, and they just allow this? Then he takes her hostage because no DUH, and man idk that whole scene was weird and we don't even see her rescue her dad it just cuts to 5 days later when he's back.
Later on when Buyi is in a house with FL surrounded by soldiers... he walks out towards his death... but she comes out of nowhere with a horse and saves him? But like... she was INSIDE with him... was there another exit that she got out from? Cause in that case she probably should have told Buyi about that... and the idiot soldiers should probably have been surrounding the entire manor not just the one exit?
Honestly the last 12 episodes had too many miraculous saves and awkward character decisions to make much sense. It soured me a bit. I still can't give it a bad rating because the good parts were really good. I just wish small easy changes had been made to make it a really solid story but that didn't happen.
