Mostly comes from a certain toxic side of a fandom, who're mad about the FL change, you decide on which side you want to be, it's still overall high rating tho. Whether the rice cake contains honey or fish sauce, is for you to decide and find out, you'll get the reference when you watch the drama 😉

Lol, isn't it the other way around? Mostly JSM Stans were shitting on this season cuz of the actress change before it even aired back in 2022, and it made JSM look bad in the eyes of real critics when she had no fault in it at all, it's just those loud annoying obsessed part of her fandom. I believe most of us discovered GYJ through the second season, so don't count us into this mess. For me personally both the seasons are good it's just that SS2 happens to have a good rewatch value, chemistry between the leads are particularly unparalleled in SS2 whereas actions scenes are good in SS1 (specially the badass Naksu scene is what got me into SS1 in the first place), JSM portrayed her character aptly too, such a shame she wasn't around for SS2. You can blame the lowering of the production quality for SS2, maybe some plotholes too, but blaming the actress is really Petty and low of a toxic side of a certain fandom, specially when the complaints started raining in even before the show started airing...and despite all that the show has overall high ratings , that should really say something, no?

Naksu with amnesia feels like a totally different person cuz yeah that's Cho Yeong's personality, life she'd have lived if she didn't have a traumatising childhood and rage burning in her for revenge. The Shadow assassin, Naksu she became, was due to Jin Mu's manipulation . So we should really stop romantacising a character's trauma, it's not healthy in any sense

Maybe cuz some of the inner voice sequences of Mudeok/ Jin Buyeon body containing Naksu soul in SS1 was actually done by GYJ

It's called Alchemy of Souls for a reason, Not Alchemy of Actresses, get over it. If you'd have complained about the drop in production quality it'd have still made sense. Jeez you JSM obsessed stans are so weird, you guys make her look bad for no reason

If you just want to watch ss1 for the sake of the plot, you can do ep 1-4 and then ep 19-20 the rest kinda fills like a comic filler with important links thrown in here and there for a few minutes, if I reckon correctly ep 4 is the last time GYJ appears in SS1 as Naksu's dead body... however once you really get into it you'd probably want to watch the whole thing, re-watching the whole thing however felt impossible for me, specially with ADHD, SS2 is a different story tho, already watched it 6times by its 3rd year, lol

Wdym her memories started to return back after her sword recognised her in ep 1 and she picked up the sword in ep 3, did you by chance missed those easter eggs?

Oh by boss I meant as in the cafe owner, not the entertainment company one, that woman sold her soul to money, at the cost of sacrificing her loved ones. I feel like deep inside somewhere she knew In-Gang's death was partly her fault, so she wanted to shift the blame for her own peace, Ah-Jin's lack of guilty conscience just made things worse

Yeah, not gonna argue with someone unenlightened who considers liberalism bad...What r you even doing here Grandma? Just go back to the middle ages or go back to the kitchen cooking for your joint family already.

Umm what!! Maybe for Jae O it's understandable what you've said, but what did her boss do to be manipulated like that, and In-Gang, don't excuse it like Ah-jin, blaming his weakness, she knew what she was doing back then...partly blame her lack of guilty conscience, but what else to expect from someone with ASPD?

You clearly didn't get the message then, non of us sympathise with her, yet know the reason for her being like that, ultimate takeaway: be kind to little human beings, even if you find them annoying...you don't know how your minute mistreatment is gonna turn them out in the long run

Idk guys I think they're pushing for S2 now, the ending was totally unexpected as a webtoon reader😶😶😶

Yeah I wondered about that too, sleeping pills was much less painful way to go, maybe he wanted to emotionally scar his peeprator the worst possible way, and thus chose the most graphic way... unfortunately the peeprator doesn't have the ability to feel such emotions, we viewers got traumatised in her stead🥲😭

Sociopaths rarely forms personal connections, everyone's tool to them, if you're into getting used by others, yeah it might be romantic for you

Looking from her pov doesn't change anything, she's in desperate need of help, she has a personality disorder for crying out loud, instead she refuses that and keeps on harming people around her, even innocent ones who have nothing to do with her childhood, Ajin wasn't the only traumatised child here, same with Junseo he enabled everything, which is why he came back to his sense and started bringing her down from her self destruction, atleast in the webtoon...but we're just supposed to forget anything else and focus on her since she's the Main Character and has all the plot armours

Are you 12 or smthng, why do you keep on defending a psychotic character? Weirdo, you might think you're untouchable, but that doesn't work irl, anyone can become the victim

No, In Gang committing suicide was always part of the plot unless you expected something different from the webtoon plot, they changed few things here and there but yeah the plot doesn't get lost for it. You might've noticed him throwing away all the alcohols and sleeping and other medications and thought he was getting back on track, but what you saw was a person who's about to end things soon, thus wouldn't need those substances. That's a tell tell sign of a suicidal person, all the depression suddenly vanishes, since they know the end is closer to soon. I still hoped a better ending for him tho, it just got worse instead

Are you sure, what if you're just another In Kang in her life?

There's no triangle, mathematically speaking it's more of a schrödinger pentagon, pentagon that could be summoning demons or could be not

Getting S-line flashbacks 😬😵
