As an Indian, the way they treat Dong-joo, it reminds me a lot about our own caste system nonsense. In fact, I think in places in East Asia like Japan, they really do have casteist discrimination against ppl who deal with the dead.
episode 6 had no right making me cry like that. F to the sweetest halmeoni. speaking of sweet, I love the leads' slowly developing relationship and chemistry. I just wasn't expecting an ex to show up so soon, that's usually an episode 8 or 12 kinda development, no?
episode 6 had no right making me cry like this. wow, the ML is such a nice guy & rn I love their chemistry & sweet relationship. however, was not expecting an ex to show up so early.
overall, it was okay. If you've seen a lot of crime or law kdramas, you've already seen the tropes and types of characters in BP. The plot was never really interesting to me, it just how the characters interacted - the chemistry, the banter and the humour in this drama were really good. I would say 8.0/10 from me.
I'm on EP. 4, and I really like dislike every time they play the stereotypica "Oriental music" every time the topic of brown people comes up. otherwise the character of Aziz is nice.
also that weird comment about Arabs Hae-Young made. 😬😬
After || Jihun dipped for a year, || Baek Mari || used her privilege and nepotism to get a job at her grandpa's form, and went right back to helping capitalists crush the working class. || With 0 self reflection. Very cool.
this is one of the best mystery/crime jdramas I've seen so far. every episode is riveting, all these twists and turns... I hope the rest of the episodes are just as good.
but what is even going on with this drama? it was so fun and comedic, it was nice seeing them take on the bad guys to protect the vulnerable and defenseless. this revenge & corruption plot is just not that entertaining and we've seen it done so many times before. I actually got through the 2 episodes of backstory, it wasn't that bad... EP. 9 was a return to form but everything afterwards is a mess, you can tell they're making it up as they go along. I hope ep. 12 magically makes this drama good again... or we get a second season.
