also, I hate this trope where the divorced lady doesn't tell her parents her ex cheated on her or whatever. and then parents blame her & there will be a whole sad sequence. it's such a silly and cheap trope.
every 10 mins they do a "romance" scene where the couples just stare at each other dramatically, there'll be slow mo and the same 1-2 songs... and I feel nothing. there's no chemistry, no energy at all. at least the two main leads are kind and thereoretically cute, but the second and third couples... I don't see why they like each or how they came to like each other.
why does this drama always skip the resolution to the case? one minute, the halmeoni is adamant on a divorce and the next scene she's willing to stay with him? last time, the couple was fighting with no resolution in sight. next second, they're renewing their vows.
I want to watch this drama, can someone spoil me on the oldest brother's annoying wife storyline? when does she leave the story? is it ok if I skip all her scenes?
this drama is actually really good. it's not prestige television, but it's very gripping & entertaining in a pulpy horror/adventure kinda way. I thought the first 2 eps were good, if a little low energy, but eps. 3 & 4 were genuinely so interesting, I was glued to the screen!! i hope they keep up this energy.
Gang-cheol is so goofy and badass at the same time. in a drama that's otherwise very grim, the sheer joy and rapture he has with food (same bro). it's nice to Yeo-ri see slowly begin to see him as not totally selfish and antagonistic.
Yeo-ri is also so cool! she's competent, brave and willing to do the right thing while not going too far.
is it weird that I wanted to see a friendship form with Yeo-ri and the well ghost?? god, fuck that prince, I hope she drowns him... poor lady was about to let go of her rage and sorrow... period dramas rarely dwell on the consequences of a society where the 1% ruled like gods and could anything they liked with the common people.
the ending was a bit of let down. first, it seems she was more in love with her ex but the worst part is him meeting her before she moves out... she doesn't know him, she doesn't have a relationship or bond with him... how would any romance work herr?! it's not really a Happily ever after at all.
So does he just go around killing women? Bc that's fucked up and not justifiable at all. If it was a Dexter/vigilante kinda situation, that would make it at least slightly better.
That weirdo stalker guy must be the dead reporter's brother or boyfriend or something. He must the running his own investigation, I hope he survives. I have a bad feeling that the ML might kill him at some point...
What is this random woman cooking? Guessing she has affairs with men to ruin their lives but why is Masato even meeting her? So many questions ðŸ˜
Eww I think her boss likes her, as if she doesn't already have problems in her life.
but anyways, the old couple had me tearing tf up
