yeah but see what gives me red flags is the story of the husband investing all in crypto. I don't buy it fully. I do think there is an additional motive for him to have spend so much money.

I do like the drama but I also love Goblin ever since 2016 when it first aired. And I do love Kim woo bin and Suzy both equally and I did love Uncontrollably Fond.
So I would say, not all :) Don't worry.
Goblin has had a special place in my heart for the past 10 years. That won't change just because one drama gathered more or less attention since then.

especially with such stellar acting! And they truly do have a great chemistry. Romantic or not romantic, doesn't truly matter.
When 2 characters just work so well together ? Ohhhhhh its the absolute best!

its a Korean drama. Prison must not be the ending. Other, similar dramas didn't always end with a character going to prison and being punished for their deeds. Some do live happily ever after in a far away country. So my guess is that something similar will happen to the FL and her daughter.
The husband and the best friend give me bad vibes. There is surely gonna be a twist, that reveal their shady side.
I'm not so sure about the faith of the ML. He does gives me sort of tragic ending vibes.

probably from the controversy she was involved with.

both are MLs and both play important roles in different ways to help achieve the FL her goal.
If I remember correctly you will learn in episode 5 & 6 what role each ML plays.

First 2 episodes and, seriously it is a good drama. CGI is top notch for once. Acting is perfect. And I'm immensely enjoying the story and characters!

it's really good. Loving it. It is not like the typical dramas are now and for once something fresh :)
Really really loving it.

I'm really glad to see him be able to make such a splendid come back and to get such a positive feedback, with directors, screenwriters and co-stars are all eager to work with him again. :)
Super stocked for him!

no
one character is hinted to have a crush on the FL but strangely the chemistry between the 2nd ML and the FL is stronger so far.

dunno, I really love it.
gives me 2010 vibes tbh . I feel nostalgic XD

It's entertaining
Sort of a mixture between Taxi Driver x Players x Big Issue, though the story is a little strangle build up. Otherwise its really really good!
The actors all do a great job! Especially love seeing Park Hee Soon in a different role than his typical serious-dark characters. I'm a huge fan of his and really this is fun to watch! So many new sides to him!
Can't wait for episode 9 :)

I dont know.....So this is my 3rd shot at this drama. And again I dropped it.
It doesn't give me the typical gripping-dark vibe crime dramas used to have (hinting at the OCN dramas). Something is missing.
I'm also not fully convinced by the acting of especially the male lead and sadly also of Go Hyun although I absolutely adored her in past dramas.
Maybe my expectations are too high when it comes to thriller/crime dramas, but this is not gripping me.

I'm sorry it's been 3 years. I dont remember how it ends anymore. Might also say something about the movie. If you dont remember it after some time it's not a masterpiece :)

It is a genre. like romance or thriller is a genre.

honestly its nowadays less about good story and more about what sells.

yes and no. I agree with the gripping thing. But there are specific patterns you can pick up on if you watched a bunch of crime dramas. And that is what is meant with it becoming predictable.
I do think this was not a bad drama but compared to some others eg. Watcher, Burning River, or Trinity of Shadows it was more weak.
However, as you stated, everyone looks for different things :)

hmmmm I do not know what to think about this.
I agree with him the drama was not realistic, but less with the characters (I love the beanie idea with the ml, and the fl with the glasses and her overall character) - no, what bothered me was the case reveal. I think you could have done that slightly less forshadowy like and connect it a bit better and give some more realistic reasons as to why the culprit did what she did. There were some aspects that just made 0 sense. (but this is more a writing problem I guess?)

Cinematography and Music wise? Holy heck 100% amazing. I loveeeeeeed the music and the opening of the series. That was such a smart choice. And his choice for Dvořák was super good.

So in the end, he did an amazing job, but the writing really had a few faults. Especially the more closer we got to the ending. How much he could have changed or influenced how it turned out? I do not know.....

Great start, but somehow from the 2nd half it got weaker and then fell a little flat. Even acting wise I found the 2nd half weak.
There are quite a lot of plot holes that make a bit less sense in the end.
7,5/10

yeah but also the male psychologist. Tbh I actually find the male psychologist a tad bit more suspicious.
