She Knows Everything (2020)

I've watched the last episode on 2x speed so I guess that says a lot about how much I enjoyed it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The worst part of the show was the investigation and overall police work. Why did all of the detectives act outside of the law? What's the point in catching the bad guy when none of the evidence will hold up in court because of how it was obtained? No one put any brain power to solve the case. Instead, we've got looooots of breaking and entering and arresting people left and right without a warrant.

Gray characters? Questionable moral decisions? Making mistakes? I love all that in characters, but still, they need to have SOME redeeming qualities. Here? They all sucked. Everyone was so painfully self-righteous and throwing themselves pity parties titled "who had it worse in life".

The production value was not bad? I'm just questioning why it was so dark for so many scenes. Creating a feeling of suspense and all that happens, when you play around with shadows and LIGHT. The light was not detected here.

The acting was good, I must admit. But I did expect a good performance from this cast.

Overall, nothing new, nothing fresh, dislikable characters, predictable plot.

Good Enough

" She knows Everything " was a pretty suspencefull drama.

The four episodes length did not limit the story that was presented in such a manner so that it fited in the length perfectly. The story itself was suspencefull, full of twists, thrilling action scenes and intrigues, as every character was not whom he seemed at the begining of the drama. The main case was also interesting and twisty. However, the two main characters were annoying at times.

Still, the family drama was intense, the performances pretty great and the atmosphere just perfect for this drama.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Short mystery drama that will keep you guessing until the end

The first two episodes were boring and confusing - i think partly because they were trying to make everything so mysterious and there were too many clues and characters to sift through. But once they start putting together the clues and revealing the secrets, everything started making sense. There were some scenes that were not necessary and 3 out of 4 episodes spent on suspects that were not the suspects that i wished they made the pacing much faster and more action packed.

I also both loved and hated both leads - just when you thought they were the good guys - turns out they also have something to hide, although it made the story and the characters more complex. The twists in the end were partly unexpected and partly sad as we find out what really happened that night.

Overall this mini mystery drama was interesting enough to keep you guessing until the end.

Rating: 7.5/10

It's not a drama for chore

I started to watch this a few months ago, I dropped it at the 2nd episode thinking that it's a drama you can watch while doing household chores. And lo and behold it surprised me when I watched it today, this is something you should be sitting on. But once you finished this rewatching is not necessary unless you did not understand the plot and I suggest you watch it again.

IDK why but I liked it. I cried in the last episode, it's not a drama-drama tho FYI.

Highly recommended. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to pause their binge-watch(because it's only 4hrs) plus you need a lot of think after watching.


And IDK, but if anyone is asking the title of the outro-song it's The Velvet Underground - After Hours.

She Knows Everything

I really enjoyed this one.

The drama used its 4 eps wisely, and ngl at first I thought it would be too packed with info because of its length but it didn’t feel heavy at all. They played well with the details to slowly reveal the truth about the night Su-jin died. Though I would agree with others that the twists were predictable but tbh it did not really disappointed me because IMO the build up was good.

And don’t get me started with the relationships and connections of the residents because they were presented so well. I can’t stop saying “nice” every time they made a reveal about how one resident is connected to another resident, and how that same connection played a part to the whole story. It made the whole “guess the murderer” plot more interesting.

Overall, it was a really good murder mystery mini-drama .

Wow

Wow, what a catching drama. I've been looking forward to this mini-series. I'm not familiar with Kang Sung Yun but know Jo Han Sun from Stove League. I must say the way the series started creeped me out, I wasn't sure if it was real or a dream and was relieved to see it was just a dream, but only to find out it was all real. We start with Su Jin, who was strangled and thrown off her apartment balcony or pushed off. But what I found quite intriguing and seriously peculiar was that there was something quite off about the apartment complex, the residents, and the whole neighborhood.

In the beginning, I couldn't figure out why Miss Lee took the cell phone from the scene, but I see she is trying to protect the madly in love, Tae Hwa. There are plenty of suspects from Tae Hwa to the guy Su Jin was in love with to even Miss Lee, and others. I found myself so wrapped in this episode that I didn't want it to end. Jo Han Sun, as Lieutenant In, is superb. I also find myself liking Miss Lee, something about the way she carries herself. I look forward to tomorrow's episode and hate that this is just a mini-series I hope they make a full drama out of it soon with the same cast.

Pois é uma série...

Nunca pensei ver esta série, eu simplesmente navegava na internet e encontrei esta série com apenas 4 episódios. Por um lado hesitei, porque tinha certo receio de ver que a série poderia ter um desenvolvimento fraco. De facto isso comprova-se, mas continuando eu só vi por saber que teria uma morte e um mistério por descobrir.

faz um tempo que eu vi a série, mas pelo que me lembro, poderia existir mais cooperação entre a mulher que sabe tudo e a polícia. Inicialmente eu pensei que fosse chato e que passaria algumas partes á frente, mas eu me perdia a assistir os episódios na integra.

Tudo corria bem, parecia um crime perfeito, mas o crime foi descoberto pela câmara do carro da vítima. E foi aí que percebi a incompetência da polícia, mesmo não existindo câmaras no local, ainda assim existia carros que apontavam na direção do corpo. Penso que algo assim aconteceu.

Sinceramente esperava um pouco mais pela série.

Confesso que quando li a sinopse pensei que seria um clichê do tipo, detetive competente e uma mulher fofoqueira que de alguma forma se unem para resolver o caso, mas não, este dorama mostra a face nua e crua do ser humano. Miss Lee é estranha esperava uma personalidade diferente e o detetive me parece um pouco mole para seu cargo mesmo sendo um veterano.

O prédio é estranho, as pessoas também, ninguém se importa de forma empática com a morta, só como isso pode desvalorizar o local. Todos com seus segredos e mistérios, de certa forma me lembra Strangers from Hell E aposto que vai se surpreender com entregador, a forma que ele defende o que é me deu esperança para mais personagens fora de tabus.

A meu ver o seu defeito é faz parecer que os policiais são estúpidos, a todo momento me perguntei como as pessoas ficariam presas com provas rasas e como muitos não tiveram uma punição pela lei. Sério, quase todos tinham que ser presos, mas não foram mesmo estando óbvio. Também senti pontas soltas na investigação que fiquei um pouco frustrada.

Em resumo, acho que vale a pena se quiser ver personagens realistas, podres, cruéis, a única que senti empatia foi pela vítima e também tem o fato de ter apenas 4 episódios, há corte de oito também, com 30/35 minutos.
