I find it hard to believe someone with a heart problem can drink or play basketball 🏀 without problem
spoiler here, but I think that his mother was in on the whole scheme of framing OJW and ultimately caused his death, all so that she could take advantage of his organ donation "wish." In the end, I think that his mother took OJWs heart (and possibly other organs, like his liver), and gave them to her son.
Is her son aware that OJW was his donor? Possibly?
Finished ep 2 so far.. and it ended on a great cliffhanger!
So far, the pacing of the drama is just the way I like it. The screenwriter is known for writing acclaimed makjangs, and I can definitely see that element weaved into this project’s script. Some of the characters, such as OJS and GYJ (especially OJS) are a bit.. annoying? obnoxious? impulsive, definitely.. I guess the screenwriter wants to make them stay true to their whole "country-bumpkin" origins (according to kdrama logic).
Ren is also doing a nice job portraying OJW. I’m not quite familiar with his other works or if this is his first breakthrough in acting, but he’s doing a great work nonetheless!
- MILD SPOILERS - In terms of plot, it’s definitely what we need in 2023. Ever since Blind released last year, I had some serious trouble discovering some good psychological, serial-killer k-thrillers, so I hope that this drama lives up to its tags and continues strong until the end. Since the plot is already quite makjang in the first 2 eps, I’m excited to see what’s in store for future eps. Honestly, I’m a huge fan of CYW’s character.. there’s definitely something fishy going on with his family, not to mention the fact that he has a heart condition as well. Is his mother doing all of this plotting behind the scenes to protect her son, based on the fact that he has this serious heart condition? Would a mother be willing to go that far to protect their child? According to kdrama logic, I can definitely see this, but I also hope that there is one, centralized culprit doing this who’s unrelated to the whole hospital scheme. It would also be great to know what criteria the culprit has for choosing their victims, since it seems pretty random as of now.
At first, Xiao Zhan adopting the whole "cold persona" didn’t seem to stick with me as I hoped it would. However, as more episodes passed, it’s clear that he has gotten more comfortable in his role. His characterization looks much more promising now!
Also, Ren Min is insanely good at acting cute that it’s literally criminal. The only other actresses that can pull this off imo are Li Landi and Shen Yue.
From what I understand, the grand preceptor used the jade hairpin to made a double of SY, which was done to "register" his death and make it somewhat believable. ZY thought he had died and made a sacrificial rite for him.. then somehow the flower that SY initially cast the revitalization spell on interacted with her powers, forming a so mark on her forehead.
Can someone explain how the whole curse thing works or how ZY is SYs impending doom?
Antis don't care about the content, they simply rate it 1. Then some fans rate the whole thing early to compensate…
lord these antis can’t give him a break.. I honestly think it’s an alright drama so far. It may fall short on worldbuilding, but the production of the drama itself and the acting is executed quite well. I guess we just have to see how this plays out :/
So far, the chemistry between ZY and NH is.. it’s making me feel butterflies, especially in that outro scene where they’re looking into each others eyes.. like, that got me having ten heart palpitations (see what I did there?)
CGI really dwindled after the initial fight scene between NH and the other woman.. hope it will pick back up in later episodes.
Just started watching, now on ep 3. But I’m heavily suspicious of Jang Ji Wan.. it seems like the writers are trying to spin a narrative about him, making him seem an incompetent and oblivious police officer.
I’m placing my bet of 0.01 cent he’s the culprit. Apparently the kid back in the institution from the first episode can manipulate electricity or something. During the scene at the convenience store when the lights started to flicker, NGM, JJW, and that other dude were there. It’s not NGM, but he’s definitely one of the children from the institution back then or is at least related to it.
Of course, the hooded guy could also be a strong possibility, but that would be way too predictable if the culprit was already revealed at episode 2..
Anyways, if it turns out he’s really the culprit, that’ll be a great plot twist!
I really wanted to like this drama.. I really did. I ended up dropping it at episode 8 because of the slow pacing, which made me sleepy every episode.. going through the episodes was a felt more like a chore than anything else :/
Other than the plot, cinematography, soundtrack, and acting were great. The drama did a great job at maintaining a consistent mysterious / noir-like vibe throughout.
I’ll probably just stay away from slow burn thrillers for now.
I’m obsessed with the pacing of this drama sm! The relationship development between the two leads are natural compared to most other BL’s, who get together by like the 2nd episode.. 🫶🏻
