yeah, and its unfortunate as many dramas have to shoehorn romance due to the overall drama production culture, so we rarely get ones without romance

Pretty much my thoughts here. The FL thing seems to be related to how the ML here is one of the most popular pretty boys on the k-drama web lol and fans of these guys never seem to value the female leads who act with them as much

Feel you on that one. Too many years watching dramas you start picking stuff up just from the casting list

Well, the plot felt really derivative of The Fiery Priest from the first 4 episodes, but what can I do? The plot there was awesome, so maybe we just wanted more lol. The villains here are definitely better though, they truly feel like some crazy-ass psychos. Jang Junwoo's reveal was amazing too. And props to the production team for the ending: The opera claps instead of an OST was simply the chef's kiss

Don't see how Jun Yeo bin is overacting, it's literally her character. She's almost the same character as the prosecutor in fiery priest who had the same """problem""""

I agree with your theory. I'm thinking it might be a "mirror" twist of sorts where Seo Jin killed Bae Ro Na

Oh Yoon Hee went through a training montage in the US and now she's Su Ryeon tier in destroying Seo Jin

It's very similar to Fiery Priest.. a few serious moments here and there but it's mostly action comedy

Felt like the perfect spiritual sequel to Fiery Priest. Jun Yeo Bin is amazing as always and so are most of our supporting actors. Also that power metal theme song came out of nowhere, I love it lol

felt like a jackie chan movie

I feel this will have a very similar style to Fiery Priest. A gimmicky action-comedy story with a chinese action movie flair. There might be some light romance, but I don't think it will be the focus of the story... that's just what I'm expecting lol

Great actresses but the writer is a bit hit-or-miss... cautiously optimistic with this one

funniest stuff I've read on this site in quit a long time lmao

Reading the synopsis and you know... looking at the posters... I'm pretty sure that one of the main leads is the killer. You could be on the right track

To be fair, an italian mafia dude in Korea sounds really weird. Considering the writer's previous stuff I'm expecting this to be on the dumb/funny/quirky side... Just hope it's not too dumb or cliche

The filming locations here absolutely slap

From what I've seen here, people from conservative countries/backgrounds tend to approve and cheer at all the conservative stuff koreans come up with

I swore this was a Studio Dragon production, I'm so relieved lol! I was already expecting a cookie-cutter romance drama where we see a cute mafia guy going to subway to bicker with his lawyer girlfriend

I've only been watching this as the leads are both really nice, specially Im Shi Wan. But tbh the whole drama has major studio dragon vibes, and that sucks. Guess they're really dominating the industry with their netflix dramas rn, they're even influencing other production studios.

It's becoming a bit ridiculous how many times can koreans repeat a single plot lol from il mare to this... it's probably like 10 time-travelling-contact plots. Nowhere near chaebol cinderellas but you get it
