its better than sweet home, this is a level behind kingdom and on the same level as happiness in zombie/creature…
same level as happiness => in regards to the relationship dynamic between the characters or in regards to the story? I'm one of those that is a little cautious in regards to watching it so that answer would help me immensely with making a final decision on giving a go or putting it furtherer on the wait list.
Light On Series + Qin Hao? Seriously it sounds like a dream come true. His previous Light On dramas (Burning Ice and Bad Kids) were absolutely amazing. But then Qin Hao is just an absolutely gifted actor. Still this drama took me a few episodes to be gripped with. However with episode 4 it finally picks up and truly is quite interesting.
this fell kinda flat. The first episode was interesting, the 2nd one kind of too but then it just dropped and dropped. I do find the story quite something, very similar to Devil Judge, but they didn't use their potential at all and made a weird humorous/thriller thing out of it. I think if they had went with a more darker approach, actually maybe even focused on a more grey approach instead of the typical good character vs evil, this one would have been brilliant. But the way it was done was sadly very disappointing.
a really well thought through series. It is slow but most of Kanae Minato's works are. However they are brilliant when it comes to depth, cases and characters. Truly well done 9,5/10
From the Info you mentioned it reminds me a lot of The World of the Married, which I absolutely lovedddddddd defo cannot wait for this drama to be released
it had a really high rating while it was airing. what happened?
happens with most dramas. Once a high rating is established people have expectations that are not always met. so over time most decline and end on a middle ground. But that doesn't mean the drama is bad. And it is another reason to take ratings with caution ;) more focus should be given to the comment section, then you can figure out if a drama is received well or not.
The OST is absolutely gorgeous. The story heartbreaking. But the romance? A little difficult. See you truly learn to love the main male lead but nearing the end, especially episode 9, made me like the 2nd one a little more. I think these 2 character could have been done slightly different but otherwise a truly well done drama 8/10
yeh ngl Wi Ha Joon's really did brilliantly in this drama. He truly did leave an impression behind! Ji Chang Wook I really enjoyed seeing again in an action/serious drama. Ever since he got back from his military service he choose quite weird dramas but wello. I am still not buying his role though. He wasn't acting badly or anything but compared to Wi Ha Joon he lacked.
Cinematography was amazing! Acting was well done too but the directors and screenwriters....I don't know....they didn't really give the story the special something. There was a great bromance but the whole romance stor(ies) stayed very aloof and one just didn't feel as invested in them as needed to truly make this absolutely memorable worthy. Which is fine, the focus was on the gang story but still there was a bigger side story for our married couple and it just completely went flat. It really would have benefited the story more to flesh that out a little. The ending was interesting though. I actually really liked it. It reminded me a lot of the drama "Trinity of Shadows". Now if just the romance was done like "Trinity of Shadows" did it......but wello 8/10
If you're going to donate to a charity, i don't get why you would advertise it unless its for publicity.Edit if…
totally agree. I really do like the actor but it annoys me to no ends when celebrities are advertising their donations to no end. And I truly do wonder if they'd donate if they'd not receive a tax reduction and an image boost.....
icl i thought JCW lips were about to rip off any second during the kiss scene
Ngl it was for once a more realistic kiss than we'd otherwise see XD like majority of dramas do a lip burshing but here they truly went all out even when JoonMo didn't enjoy it at all

Man I really really missed the darkish crime/investigation dramas in 2023 .....Cant wait for this one to come out :)
Cannot wait!
