When she grab the phone she is wearing a gloves which is invisible because of color grading they did in that scene. I can look up the time stamp so it easy to catch. Wait
Edit: at 42:14 (look at her hand there is no gloves) but at 45:08 (when she begins cleaning there is gloves) then she washed her hand and came back out with gloves at 46:03 it get more clear at 46:10, 46:21, 46:26, 46:35, 47:06, 47:09, 47:11, 48:10-13 (it's a quick shot)
unfortunately because of dumb people on X that can't tag spoilers, i was spoiled who the killer was just when…
That' super annoying especially in mystery thriller or horror cases all I can say is you still can watch how the culprits manipulate things and all and you will end up with much more nuanced pov than rest of commenters here. That' the best possible way but if it really affects your experience I'll say reading a simple detailed summary will do the work
Okay, I have a big question. Was this drama supposed to have more than 12 episodes? The last 3 episodes felt rushed, and the final episode was heavily cut to finish within the 12-episode limit. 14 episodes would have made more sense, as I didn't find it dragging much in the middle. Maybe that's because I binged it all at once until episode 11 (so people who might have watched 2 episodes a week could feel like it was dragging and then rushed).
I don't know if I have an issue with her father's case not being solved, since it was always a very minor side plot, so her proving that the prime witness was pressured by the prostecutor which led to reopening for fresh investigation, was good enough closure for me. Then the prosecutor and the detective addressing her father (CP) will definitely have a problem, as it has now been reopened.
After the reunion, I decided I didn’t have to forgive to move ahead [maybe some people never change]. I don't even need to stay in contact or in the same space as this person, as they add no value to my life. I'm doing much better now. It did make me more cautious towards the new people I meet in person.
the thing is he was her bully, he made her school life living hell, she tried to commit suicide at one point and eventually left the school.
I get bullies can change and that true but if he was just a bully to someone else I could have given a second thought but he was her bully and then they meet years later when he realized who she was he still addressed as (naem-sae) still talked down while reminding who her father was. Maybe they most they can get to is acquaintances at same workspace kinda.
I was not a bully in school but was a victim of bullies who emotionally bullied me and made me feel invisible every day, while calling me their friend. I decided to never keep them in my contact once I'm out of school. I met her in reunion she is studying to become a doctor, entire time she still made me feel invisible, talked down to me on how the career I choose is meaningless. Felt like I was back in school sharing my desk with her, while being so polite and posh in front of others.
At the end of episode 10, when he took out that earring, my jaw was on the floor, and then I was like, " Yes,…
Okay, so let give all the bright side of this spectrum first, (through my POV)
Hye-joo seems a bit too off to me at a few places; even in the flashback, I find her a bit off, as well as every time she meets Maeng Sena.[I honestly don't want to use the word unhinged because that doesn't truly fit here, so bit off it is.]
Now I do think her father knows about this to some extent. He[the dad] is aware of all of her activities, and maybe that’s why he went ahead, before the investigation even started properly, to contact the chief prosecutor, and asked to manipulate the investigation, which makes me believe the CP also somewhat is aware of the real culprits. [This is subtle sub context here is she was a chaebol and he was just an idol, yes through cultural norms idols and actors are still low in the hierarchy level in Korea even though they have millions of fans as power is often manipulated by chaebol very easily so the CP is again ready to do this to be on Imhwa group's good side].
So her father's manipulation of investigation and evidence, as well as reports, makes more sense than what episode 11 has shown [I mean ep 12 is still left, so let's see]. But honestly, police not doin their job properly will not be the first time wonder in kdrama; they saw a well-loved artist alone in his house with a dead body proving him murder would have gotten the publicity, name, and maybe promotion too, and then the prosecutor is also supporting the same thought process, it not a huge flaw that they did a lousy investigation.
CP kept forcing his son to blame on Do Laik to dive down the same publicity, was the surface truth but in reality it he was doing what Imhwa chairman is asking: proving Laik as murder will not only keep his daughter safe but also this way he will create a proper wedge between her daughter and her first love and hide the fact that she was in psyche ward + it will definetely help CP in future when it comes to elections.
Now the flaws that can't be missed;
1. Do Laik's reaction after learning Hye-joo had killed his best friend and still went ahead with killing Jae-hee was way too plain, my guy. 2. The writing could have been tighter [better and at least logical in some places, dude who creates passwords like that?], the screenplay should have been better, but it is not. 3. the entire cleaning scene 🤦🏻♀️
At the end of episode 10, when he took out that earring, my jaw was on the floor, and then I was like, " Yes, it made so much sense." The person is always present, and even misguided the investigation, but then I watched episode 11, and it was laughable. More in the reply with a spoiler tag
Yes, he got scouted at 4 years old and was a part of an ad (I read this somewhere), and basically began as extras or supporting roles. He also played the young version of ML in a few dramas. When he was 14, he did a supporting role in "Under the Hawthorne Tree" movie and was recognised for his acting skills.
I just found out this; "Chen Xing Xu is only 29; he is, in fact, a seasoned actor with 25 years of experience." And it made me chuckle so hard. Apparently, at the age of 4, he was scouted and acted as an extra and in supporting roles. It reminded me of those job application memes, "I'm 26 years old and have 25 years of experience. 😂🤣 but it's true for this dude
Also, who is watching his new drama - My Page in the 90s; it's airing RN and 10 episodes are out, and it seems good, but the chemistry I felt here is so hard to get over.
This is going on the same list of shows I love to rewatch - Hidden Love, When I Fly Towards You, The Best Thing, Everyone Loves Me, The First Frost, Only for Love, A Dream within a Dream
I was secretly shipping Xiaorou and mr.Gong a while but feel bad because she's already married. Now I really want…
Honestly even if they become friends who rely on each other I'm happy with that cause they have so much chemistry that it will be waste to not get them together
