Can someone tell me why in all the dramas we see them washing their hair fully clothed??? why don't they wash their hair when they take a shower? or is the hair on their heads more important than what happens on their armpits or other places?
.. is this a love drama??????? .Yes?? Did you miss the romance genre attached to this?
and then the whole American part with politics - what are they doing in this series??? ... come on!!!!!!! ... everything is focused only on their relationship ... already the whole budget with the submarine and the Americans are secondary ... like ... what are we talking about?????????? obviously I saw from the beginning that there was also romance when they were rubbing against each other on the chair when there was a bomb under her / them / him ............... but already the topic from politics and war and the main topic moved to ... to ... the feelings between the 2 of them ... why was so much money spent if that was the goal anyway ... so many super mega famous American actors to appear for 1 second when otherwise they have to kiss in the water when that guy is bleeding from his shoulder ... I mean .... you really don't see the IRONY / SARCASM in what I said???
-Oh ... Come on ... WHAT IS THIS??? ... is this a love drama??????? ... The way they jumped into the water ... and then kissing while the blood drained from his shoulder ... Like ... REALLY???????? SERIOUSLY????? - and many scenes on the cliff it's very clear that they weren't real - first the sound, then the images, then the breeze barely blowing in their hair, but behind it was the storm at sea ... :)))))))))))))
am I mean? ... or is it just me? ... but it feels like I'm watching an American series with Korean actors ... I actually have the feeling that I've seen so many American films with exactly the same narrative thread done in the same way .............. I don't know ... it's like the American side actually stands out in this Korean series :))))))))))))
Wow ... what image!!!!, what sound!!!, what production!!!!... what actors!!!!... and wow... what fight scenes!!! everything is first class........ it just seems to me that it's a more Americanized production - I don't know why it gives me this vibe - I mean it's clear that we have a collaboration between Americans and Koreans, yet it seems to me that there's more of the American vibe in this drama. the attraction between ML + FL was rather fast and intense... she was literally on the edge of her seat - she could die, but when they switched seats you could see in their eyes what was on their minds: "dirty mind, dirty mind" (not to mention that her husband hasn't been dead for a long time) and this usually happens in American movies but the production and fight scenes... absolutely wow
so no no no no ... they forced themselves not to force the characters in the movie to start a romantic relationship ....... like you can't tell me that it's normal to spend the whole day with your boss taking care of 2 little girls, going shopping with them, laughing and cooking dinner ... etc and then looking each other in the eyes ... or ... to go with the same 2 little girls and the boss's dog to the park to have fun ... a whole day ..... or is it normal to tell your boss that you miss his dog?????????? let's see how our bosses would react if we told them that we miss their dog ....................... like ... seriously??? ....... and the discussion at the end about love???? like ... what does love mean to each of us???? like let's see if we're compatible or not???? what are we talking about here???
Oooooooooooooooo… so as much as I loved the first 10 episodes, that’s exactly how much I disliked the last 2… so:
Kang Hyo Min’s mother handed over her own daughter to relatives to raise because she wasn’t “perfect” – she had a hearing impairment. But then, in episode 10, she adopts a deaf kitten and cries her heart out when it refuses to eat… yet she doesn’t give a single thought to her own daughter.
Yun Seok Hun and Kang Hyo Min – honestly, they’re just playing “happy family” – for the second time – with two twins who are complete strangers: the younger sisters of Kang Hyo Min’s colleague. Like… what even is this? And when they all meet for dinner, they act as if it’s their very first time seeing each other outside work… “Oh my, you’re younger, I’m your boss…” SERIOUSLY? And what exactly were you doing before when you were babysitting the 2 kids?
And Yun Seok Hun’s ex-wife – oooooooooooooo… I don’t even know where to start… she traumatised the poor man, made him believe he wasn’t the one she wanted a child with, left him alone to suffer for years… only to finally tell him the reason later. A reason that, if she’d shared from the very beginning, maybe they wouldn’t have even divorced, maybe he wouldn’t have suffered so much, maybe he wouldn’t have blamed himself endlessly, and maybe the poor man would already have a child by now. Basically, a classic case of miscommunication – straight out of a K-drama.
Oh, and let’s not forget the ending… when Kang Hyo Min’s twin sister shows up, all shy, giving gifts to their mother for the freshly adopted cat. But her mother – aka the “aunt” – had no idea she could speak… and yet she speaks way too clearly for someone who can’t hear and only lip-reads. And then everyone bursts into tears and hugs… SERIOUSLY???? REALLY… how on earth are you meant to feel when you find out your mum gave you away to relatives just because you were born deaf, but kept your sister because she was “perfect”? SERIOUSLY??????????????
And that final conversation between Yun Seok Hun and Kang Hyo Min about love… the two of them “accidentally” meeting and talking as if they were making love confessions. Honestly, I can’t stand this trend of leaving endings open… I NEED A FINAL THAT IS FINAL. I need closure.
omg!!! it took me by surprise ... so the way THE QUEEN plays ... absolutely wonderful! she owns it! and the scene where she tried to kill Seo Gu-wan ... wonderful ... including the way she smelled her hands at the end ... like she smelled the scent of her attempted murder ... she clearly misses it ... everyone plays very well ... I'm so into this!!!!
- so this was a legal case? like ... in court? ... so if I was bullied by other kids in high school is it normal for me to go and hit them in the head with a rock 10 years later? because ... because of that I couldn't ... to ... so is this legal??? ... how can this be a case??? - and let's not say it ... but ... when you're driving you shouldn't be looking for your lighter on the ground... you should keep your eyes on the road... I mean... seriously... not to mention... like on a 6-lane street... well, you see the crazy woman who wants to cross illegally and you have time to put you feet on the brakes....... especially since she was coming straight from the other side... I mean, however you want to put it, this case was just on the emotional side... nothing to do with logic or the law - I understand that it's a drama ... a fantasy ... but let's get back to it .... it's a series about the law ... I'm really disappointed by this case
OMG ... they used all the possible and impossible clichés ... but I LOVED IT !!!!!!!!!!! ...... I even cried at the emotional scenes - especially in the last 2 episodes -, I also laughed ... it was an extremely enjoyable series ... it seems that any movie that talks about team spirit moves me ... IT WAS GREAT
ok ... so I want to understand ... Yun Je is a criminal - he kills for money, but somehow he doesn't have any money, he works during the day at a market and doesn't have money to pay his rent ... and the police don't catch him - there's no mention of such a thing ... but it's ok for him to kill Jin Hyeok's father - at his request ........... am I missing something? - nowadays murders are done for free? ... shouldn't he take a cartload of money for each murder? shouldn't he have some kind of contact person who can tell him about the victims? ... how did he become a paid murderer? ... how does he have clients? ... how do they know about him? ... how does he kill? - knife? strangulation? ... what is his modus operandi? - then we find out that the two of them lived together in the same house during high school - when in the same way Jin Hyeok knocks on Yun Je's door and asks him to stay at his house for a few days ... it seems that since then they kind of like each other .......... but then they lose touch, years pass, and somehow - without any context - Jin Hyeok shows up at Yun Je's door and moves in with him - how did he find out where Yun Je lives now and how is he so okay with the fact that Yun Je is a hitman - I mean... I guess if there was a bigger budget the story could have been developed... it could have been more suspenseful/thriller-like... but the low budget is extremely visible, and I think this is also the problem of understanding how a mainstream actor ended up acting in such a poorly budgeted film - I guess we've all seen other BLs: Match Play, The Time of Fever, Unintentional Love Story - where we also have experienced actors and no one commented anything about the fact that they played in a BL drama - but The Killer Next Door actually has so many shortcomings... story, scenes, image, color scheme - in my mind, I prefer to believe that Cha Hak Yeon wanted to help someone, or maybe he even lost a bet :))))))))))) ... I'm a little mean, but I don't understand this ... how could a mainstream actor act in such a poor movie - poor in all aspects - the problem is not that he acted in a BL ... on the contrary ... from my part he should keep acting in BLs, but at his level ... because the truth is that Cha Hak Yeon has a level of acting ... and this has been seen in the films he has starred in so far
Yeah, but the anti-romance crowd keeps saying there's nothing going on, no hints of anything, just a typical mentor-mentee…
just a typical mentor-mentee relationship???? if this is a normal... banal relationship... then it means that either I live in another world ... or I need to review my attitude towards my boss :))))
so far - 6 episodes - there's clearly a trace of romance - I don't think I would ask my boss why he wasn't at work ... and I don't think I would wait for him in his office, on his chair ... then ... if I got drunk would I call my boss? and then tell him that I like the smell of his perfume on the handkerchief? ... then anyway ML told FL when she blushed and she quickly got embarrassed and ran to the toilet, and ML smiled - so it's clear that something is going on between them ... and it doesn't seem that subtle to me ... let alone their conversations over tea or coffee ... and it's only half of the series... and in every episode we have a hint of romance
- and many scenes on the cliff it's very clear that they weren't real - first the sound, then the images, then the breeze barely blowing in their hair, but behind it was the storm at sea ... :)))))))))))))
the attraction between ML + FL was rather fast and intense... she was literally on the edge of her seat - she could die, but when they switched seats you could see in their eyes what was on their minds: "dirty mind, dirty mind" (not to mention that her husband hasn't been dead for a long time) and this usually happens in American movies
