In the first episode Ji Uk says that he is doing a secret thing that nobody knows about, I kinda assumed that him taking care of the neighborhood and distributing wanted poster would be followed by a reveal about how he is looking for a specific criminal or something, but then this topic never comes up again? What secret thing was he referring to?
I really liked this show, I think it is very well written and has high production value and great actors. I didn't watch it when it first aired, because I am not into the marriage contract trope, but it is actually quite a feminist show, better than I expected. I am shocked that so many comments are about how disappointing the second half of the show is and describe it as underwhelming and messy... really goes to show how different everyone's taste is.
This show is so bland and generic, its the same tropes we have seen a million times, but in a lower budget packaging and minus the chemistry... The villain is unreasonable and evil for the sake of being evil, otherwise there just wouldn't be enough plot to fill 12 episodes. I don't think these actors are a very good casting choice for this show, but also script is super weak, I don't think other actors could have saved it.
Other comments say "watch this if you are looking for something light", but I honestly don't think people should watch it, unless they want to be bored to death... The romance isn't even that compelling or fluffy, I don't know what the point was. They could have done something interesting with the premise and they just didn't. I did not read the webtoon, I am not emotionally attached to the original story, just looking at this is a stand alone story and it is such a nothingburger. People who think this is a pretty good show must have super low standards.
I made it to episode 19, when the dragon appears, but I kinda lost interest - when the characters get married they stop making out with each other and I wasn't super into the wild west subplot, does it get better?
Don't want to hurt anyones emotions but this is first time I have give 3 star to any show I have ever watched…
If you want to watch something very bad watch "Twelve", I think this is a good example of a show that is badly written, badly lit, badly directed, has cheap costume design and cheap special effects. You can always compare it to other shows, like "Was this show just super mediocre, or was it as bad as Twelve?"
I told my mum to watch this, seems like a cool new Japanese movie and then the next day she watched it and said "I watched that Korean movie about a girl who loses her memory" and then we argued for like 15 minutes, because I swear it is Japanese, I am not crazy, it even has the Toho intro! And my mum was like, no I think I can tell Japanese and Korean movies apart, Choo Young Woo is literally the male lead... Turns out there are two versions of that movie with an identical plot, title and poster, these two movies were gaslighting me!!!
Finally a serious role for Park Min Young! She is funny and good in romcoms, but I like thrillers way more, very exciting to see her do a different genre for a change.
