Xanthippe

Yes, in real life that would have been the logical choice. But this isn't real life. The games were about to start again, that was his only chance to end the system, else he will have to wait for another year. For fans of this genre, this kind of ending is just normal, nothing groundbreaking or disappointing, it's expected already.

I think that is something that will be revealed should there be a second season. It's possible that he's been called in for the first time after a long while, thus the sudden disappearance, and the worry of his family. Or, it could also be what they call a mother's instinct. As to the cop brother, yes, I also think he's still alive, simply because we didn't see him die.

The producers probably thought it wouldn't make any difference with the plot, and will just eat away some screen time. But yeah, in a real-world sense, some of the families would have probably filed a report already.

Well, what's new, people wanting their happily-ever-after endings, lol. But it could also be due to the inexperience, probably the first time they try to watch a genre outside romcom.

How I know that this is a good tv series is that the fans are respectful of other people's dissenting opinion. It means that the drama delivered a proper message, unlike other more popular, supposedly "healing dramas" out there where the fans are rabid, acting like they're the only ones entitled to air their opinion, lol. How ironic. Don't they know that Mydramalist is a forum, not a fans' club. So much toxicity.

Anyway, this series is totally more deserving of a higher rating, too bad that this was aired when Netflix was yet to be hub for kdramas.

Although I wanted them to, I really don't mind that the two leads didn't get back together because I understand that it's cliche already. But, really, that was it between Eiji and the controlling wife? No redemption arc for her? I'm utterly dissatisfied, lol.

Her own agency admitted that those text messages were real.

That's the title. "A Serbian Film".

By far my favorite Bong Joon Ho film!

A Serbian Film prepared me for this, so this was still lame in comparison, but yeah, I can imagine the impact had I watched this first.

I didn't recognize the girl... Haru eomma!

If you guys think this season was draggy, then you clearly have never watched Meteor Garden season 2, lololol.

I'll say this again, this guy is no doubt the best actor of his generation. He now got a Baeksang Best Actor award for both TV and Film. What a legend!

There seems to be a commotion happening in the Sweet Home page after an AIB fan started to compare the two series. Although I understand the point, but I suggest we keep our opinions here instead, since people here are more open to discussions. Besides, some people seem to be only looking for reasons to not watch AIB. Let's not give them that.

I think what we can deduce from these data is that non-English speaking viewers are more open to exploring new content , whereas english-speaking viewers only rely on what is already a trend, which, in our present context, korean series and movies. We can safely say trends start in non-english speaking countries, and we can only hope that the AIB trend also reaches the US, UK, Australia shores soon enough.

I think we have the same definition of a masterpiece, and I agree with you, this story is nothing we haven't seen before. In that case, I highly recommend that you watch Signal if you still haven't because its plot is really unique.

At first, it gives you fuzzy feelings, then punches you in the gut.

This would have gotten a 10 from me if not for their controversial decision of casting a Japanese for the devil role. It was a major turn off for me

Signal. The best kdrama ever. Thank me later. ;)

Never did I invalidate other actors. They're good, but I just think that someone is better than them. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to his Hellbound project. There might be a big chance it'll be a hit since it will be shown in Netflix, plus it's a thriller, so hoping it will be as loved as Kingdom.
