Probably a 8/10 for me until the end. Just like what others have been telling, it went downhill in terms of the storyline. I thought that this season would be more intense and tight since it only has 10 episodes plus that's what the ending of the season 1 portrayed but there were still a lot of fillers (which i think could've been used for other important things) and it became cliche than what I've expected it to be. Regardless, i'm glad that the leads along with the other characters have good chemistry. It's the reason why I'm staying.
Since we're starting to get near towards the end of the show, I wanted to share more of my thoughts.
At this point, I realized that despite the dates, this show is leaning more in giving opportunities for the couples to fix their relationship (or not anymore) rather than finding new partners because it would be completely absurd to have new couple(s) as a result of the show. Maybe, a 10% chance but i think if in case it happened, it will not lasts in the future. It's almost the same analogy with two friends. Imagine, the ex of your friend became your new partner. It's just. . not it or strange to think of. They already have ideas with one another (personalities, likes & dislikes, experiences, etc.) and that being said, comparison will always be there, it is bound to happen. Not to mention, the possible regrets and I think not anyone can move on that fast. Also, they might receive backlash from other people (the viewers), questioning their relationship and stuff.
For Ep. 11, it was so much fun to watch. Majority of them were getting along with one another and I'm glad that it was the case because if not, damn, stop the show. Kidding. HAHA.
Dohyeong and Huihyeon's date was very romantic. Huihyeon is just so likeable. She's pretty, nice, straightforward or honest, easygoing, talented, etc. so it's no doubt that every man can be attractive to her. I think we all can empathize with her (except for the military situation) 5 years and yet, they only had one proper date or maybe few. She also feels like they only dated for 1 year and that's sad because it seems as if she's not entirely happy anymore but for the sake of their relationship (to keep going), she stayed. She loves him but the reality is telling her the other way around. Just like what she and Dohyeong shared, their relationship is kind of rare. I think not a lot of partners can wait or can be that persistent for too long.
Going back to the date, likewise with Jeonghun and Jiyu, they're so cute together. I'm happy that the both of them enjoyed being together rather than being conscious about their partners although they talked about it but it was just for a brief moment or a short conversation.
As for Taewan and Hyeyeon, all i can say is i'm not expecting anymore. They're hard to read. One moment, both of them showed as if they completely gave up and then another moment, it's as if there's still a light or hope between them. After the confession, both of them really changed a lot.
Then for Hyogi and Yunseul, I wish they can continue it until the end although Hyogi needs to loosen up more. Like in the game, I expected him to be a bit pleased because of Yunseul's answer with Taewan's question but he was clearly quite upset? I mean, the question was far-reaching but honestly if i am on Hyogi's shoes, I would be grateful. I mean, she was honest and at the same time, she gave an answer that would also make me feel okay.
So far, i'm not rooting for the dates anymore. I think all of them already had their chances in knowing one another. More than the dates, I want them to be just completely honest with each other and spend time (talk, play, etc.) with people who they find comfortable to be with. The next episode seemed to be like it's living up to my expectations. Group conversation would not only help them to know more each other (as a man/as a woman) but to see whether they are having the same path (towards their partners)
Guys,That Prison Guard who wears a hat all the time half covering his face has some sus vibes going on.He knows…
Indeed. A lot of the scenes somehow focused on his face or his character. Plus, he's one of my options as someone who definitely has an access to both inside (the prisons) and outside world. A police after all.
I feel like the reason why they wanted to improve the final episodes is because they probably didn't expect the amount of love that Somin is getting (which she honestly deserves because I also agree to some people that she was one of the reasons why they've watched this drama. I mean, she's a good actress after all) so of course, her, not being a part of season 2, she should definitely be the highlight of this season 1. She, as Mudeok, should have a justified story and ending.
Meanwhile, I also believe that the original actress who's portraying Naksu deserves it. Same as the other supporting characters who have their own stories as well (which we will see on season 2) It's already ep. 16 and yet, i think not half of the stories are revealed. There's so much more.
I don't think they will also put romance with season 2 (as like what I've stated above, it will focus on each characters' stories) but if they do, then so be it.
Lastly, I'm hoping that we can get a good ending for this, a happy one, for both Mudeok and Uk, though I'm a bit skeptical about this cause like i've said, it's already ep. 16 and yet, it still feels halfway. Nevertheless, hoping for the best. An ending that will satisfy majority of the viewers but at the same time, will not appear as rushed or sudden.
Few thoughts • Loved the development with OME and GYJ as producers. Despite them having different point of views in life, both of them were learning and improving on their own. • The support system. OME's family especially her mom and sister, wow, which I think was also one of the reasons why Maeum is optimistic and supportive of other people (from the webtoon artist, her colleague, up to the new artist) • The chemistry, the CHEMISTRYYYYY. aaaaa. I mean, either way, i'm fine with it. Just that, i would also understand if they won't exactly push the romance (despite the chemistry) because they wanted to maintain the realism or realistic side and bluntness of the drama. To be specific, the behind the scenes of the world of webtoon ㅡ that it's not an easy job or what. Plus I think the characters are versatile. At first, i could only see chemistry with OME & GJY as well as OME & SJH but then after another episode, I saw potential with GJY & Ppomm/Bbomm and then for the latest episode, I saw OME with the new artist and GJY with the new artist as well. • The lessons, really. The reason why I got hooked with it. I couldn't even count how many lines I got attached with.
The thing is yes she has positive attributes. But in the first few episodes she was stuck on D the whole time…
This. Like majority of the episodes, she's always been like you know. It was so painful to watch especially if you're going to put yourself in Taewan's shoes. He's been walking on egg shells (idk if that is the right term but yeah, correct me if i'm wrong). and he tried every possible way just so she'll be okay or like pleased (which clearly, she wasn't)
Not until the latest episode where-in she admitted and I think it was a great start. I hope it continues because if not, then I don't think her and Taewan can continue and at the same time, any relationship won't work out on her.
I'm loving it so far. The new episodes made it more and more interesting. It is turning out the way I wanted it to be, although it's not a hundred percent because this is a thriller/mystery slash law drama after all. There will be a lot of unexpected turning points. Still, as of now, PCH "becoming" the BM keeps me on the edge of my seat.
Like someone commented here, perhaps, BM might be just an idea and not existing with any of the characters at all, instead, someone plotted it to make it happen and it turns out that PCH was a character that can bring it true to life, I don't know if that makes sense but i hope it does. Or if not, for sure, a person who is powerful enough to have an access inside the premises of the prisoners and the outside world. It could be the mayor, the police guard, etc. Not to mention, BM can also be dead (and someone knows him/her or something then he/she became the new BM but since BM is known to be the most wanted so he/she has to hide and who knows? he/she used PCH as a mask to protect his/her identity) BM could also be an organization like in my last comment.
The biggest questions would be. . • Who placed the money and everything? (to the lawyer's a.k.a PCH's office?) It would be mind-blowing if it's Miho. So far, we're all seeing her as a loving wife but who knows? She's not afraid to die, she's strong enough to combat her fears and she's smart (The hospital scene tho. where-in she was framed but glad that she was able to turn the tables) • The three prisoners who died. The first one might be valid as a suicide but the other two, definitely questionable because of the cyanide.
For EP 10, it was nice. Better than the previous episode although starting it with Jiyu and Dohyeong was awkward. It was so hard to watch because they're a couple and yet they couldn't act like one. It hurts to see them struggling, not being true to themselves and with each other. For their relationship to work out, they really have to let go of the past. Forgive one another, though I personally think that the trauma was too haunting so keeping their relationship might be, you know. Even if they were able to let go of the past, the fear is still there and it's not easy to break it. It's just like when you're getting addicted to something and you cannot get out of it. Even if they go for a new relationship, i bet the fear is still there especially for Dohyeong. Being ghosted on is not a joke.
As for Huihyeon and Jeonghun, it's heartbreaking, really, but i'm glad that they were able to communicate well with their honest thoughts and feelings. They're so mature for that. Like i've been seeing constant arguments here and there but with them, it was delightful to watch cause they listen and they understand one another. Also, after this episode, I was able to realize Huihyeon more. She's right for saying that it wasn't only her entire decision but also the guy. She just wants hundred percent assurance and so he is.
Going back with Jiyu and Dohyeong, it's good that they were able to clarify some matters, things that they wanted to share and things that they weren't able to talk about. Drinking wine is a great method then. Haha. Kidding aside, it's still a pity that they weren't able to sort out their past. Dohyeong is already ready, I can see that, but i think it's not the same case with her which is sad because huhu, she needs to let go of it or else, the pain will always be there.
As for Hyeyeon, I wanted to apologize to her. I was so harsh and I think I even crossed the line, even saying that I lost my respect in her. At the same time, I was also unfair in a way that I was busy picking out her negative actions towards Taewan to the point that I missed one thing that her boyfriend did which was unjustifiable as well. The part where-in he went to his girlfriend's date with Jeonghun and didn't become honest with her. That was so uncomfortable to watch and I think she had all the rights to be mad. Still, glad that with this episode, she was able to have realizations and even accepted all her faults. I think that's a nice start. In all honestly, she has a lot of good aspects (We saw that when she was with Jeonghun and it was one of the most genuine dates that the show had. Also, with Dohyeong and Hyogi) It's just that there are some instances that you know especially towards her boyfriend which I think most of us focused on. However, just like what several other people have been saying, we shouldn't judge her as a whole, and that this is just a show. A glimpse of who she is (and maybe not? because who knows? This might be scripted or some parts might be scripted) so seeing her getting bullied in social medias is just downright not acceptable either. Again, to Hyeyeon, i'm so sorry.
For Hyogi and Yunseul, that was their best scene so far. Like all the bad things or arguments that they had inside the house, I was able to forget it entirely and was like rooting for them again even if I've already emphasized a lot of times that they should break up. That at that point of their relationship, it's not gonna work out but here, I saw how loving they are/were and the conversation they had was really nice. Plus the gift? I'M SCREAMING.
The overnight date too was also wow. I'm speechless. That was so unexpected but i'm honestly quite glad about the results. Hyogi wanted to make up with Yunseul. Likewise, Hyeyeon and Taewan should also take this chance to understand each other more. I'm curious with how it will turn out for Dohyeong and Huihyeon as well as Jiyu and Jeonghun. Literally, exchange(d) partners or like what Hyeyeon said, changed dates. HAHA.
Let me just say that this episode was a game changer. So there's hope huh?
Yes, the story is simple and predictable but for someone who's picky (I mean, i have this thing where-in if i don't like to continue watching anymore, I immediately drop it and I don't give it another chance, however for this one, I was able to finish everything which is great and what I'm happy about) and who have watched most of the tearjerker movies or dramas, it's surprising that I was still able to cry my eyes out for this one. I don't know if it's just because I feel emotional or sad today but still, the reason why I gave this a high rating because really, Nana and Kentaro were able to portray their roles perfectly. Even the other actors and actresses who have their own roles also did well.
On the other hand, I have to agree with some of the comments here saying that it should be a drama or series so that it can give more justice to Matsuri's story. Likewise with Kazu, Sanae (what happened between her and Takeru)
Overall, I'm definitely satisfied with it. With radwimps OST or song at the end, aaaa.
I've also heard that this is for the author who made the novel for this movie and died in 2017 so it's even more sad.
For 12 eps, thought the pace would be faster and avoid explaining certain scenes in the upcoming eps. But now…
Really? I'm glad to hear about that. Maybe, they didn't expect the warm welcome of the viewers. Like, I myself didn't expect to get hooked with it but here I am.
The drama is just so refreshing and with romance in it, i guess it gets better.
Just few thoughts about the drama • Surprised with the casts (cause i straight up watched it and didn't bother looking for the casts anymore or any description about it) Master Lee tho. I'm like "Hold up! Wait a minute. He's here?" • The characters are diverse ㅡ different perspectives, different personalities so it makes it more interesting. • The chemistry between OME (Sejeong) and SJH (Daniel) as well as OME (Sejeong) and GJY (Yoonsu). I know the genre doesn't include romance but i'm still hoping for it. • Simple story but with a substance. It's relatable in a lot of ways and i think much more if you're in the field of arts, specifically manhwa or manga. It has a lot of lessons in life. • Just a little turn off with the wardrobe especially Maeum (her shoes tho) but she's cute. Sejeong can pull off anything so yeah
I find myself smiling while reading all the comments cause we all have the same goal or idea and that is to know who Big Mouse is.
Of course, Yoona (Miho) and LJS (PCH)'s relationship along with the father of Miho, is given as well because they're like a breathe from the intensity of the drama. Who would've thought that we can get a thriller/suspense + romcom drama? Haha.
I think I won't be biased just because I know majority of the casts. The positive, it's a promising drama. The chemistry between Yoona and LJS was also okay, it's starting to build as time goes by. Likewise, the characterization, I find it impressive.
However, there was one thing which I considered to be a bit regretting especially for the first episode. Episode one was good but idk why i felt that there was something off about it? Not sure if it's the character of LJS (PCH), the direction of the plot, the pacing, etc. Whatever that was, it's the reason why it didn't have the best first impression in me
But, but, but. . glad that episode two was able to turn the tables. It became better and more interesting specifically, at the latter part.
Now down to my theories, • I think and I feel like it would be better if PCH is not the Big Mouse but someone who's least expected and more, if he's someone close to him like Miho, the father in law/father of Miho, or the mayor, or someone who's getting close to him like Jerry. The split-personality occured to me as well but i think it will be too predicted/predictable. If not close to him, someone who has the same characteristics as him (PCH). Someone who is seen weak, foolish, etc. but yeah cause I believe that the "same-character" method won't be that effective?? cause a lot of movies or dramas already did it. • With relation to the first one, if he's not the big mouse, he's starting to be one. It's like big mouse became the reason for his living apart from his wife. (Referring to ep. 2 where-in he realized that he's strong) • Big Mouse might be an organization.
EP 9 was frustrating, like to the core. Hyeyeon's non-stop comparison or comparing (saying that other couples look okay even if they're having issues and that Taewan changed) is making my blood boil. Her negative perception towards him doesn't help. Worse, it's been like that since from the very beginning and it's hopeless if she won't change her mindset. Clearly, Taewan is trying, he really does, but if she cannot see it, then she doesn't deserve him. Yes, he might have done something wrong. He might have said something that can hurt her but really. . the girl is just something. She said that she's being her usual self but when she is confronted, she's always in denial. She's always saying "I'm not trying to compare" but that's what exactly she's doing. What she's saying doesn't match her actions. Like others have mentioned, the way she tries to victimize herself is in a whole new level.
You know what makes even more upsetting? She even said "Why do I have to tell you to know that?" Like girl, you've been so consistent with this certain guy and you expect your boyfriend to act like he should care or something? Of course, he would be jealous or mad because even after the date, you're THAT clingy. And then saying he's selfish? Really? The guts. Because of this episode, I lost my respect in her.
But then I also don't agree that what Taewan did at the last was right. She listened to him "entirely" when he's confessing his honest feelings and I think he should do the same. I feel like his emotions were on top or at peak and I think that's not a good sign. He became so emotional and honest to the point that he threw everything off without thinking that she could be totally hurt by it. The emotional damage, it's insane. The way he said it was like he wasn't even happy at least once in their relationship and that, as a girl, hurts like hell. If i were on her shoes, I would definitely get traumatized by it.
For Yunseul and Hyogi, I can see that they're trying. It's just that they're so different and it won't end even if they try to be honest with each other. Again, love isn't enough. Like the hosts said, "How can they be so different?" "That pairs like them exist?"
Lastly, I wanna put this certain saying "Comparison is the thief of (all) joy." I bet some of you already know this quote but yeah, I certainly agree to an extent. Instead of comparing, focus on your own relationships, your own selves because at the end of the day, it's about you and your partner.
This is not only about math. More than that, it gives different views about life so it is worth the watch. A 9/10 for me because I love(d) the process. I think there were only two things that I find questionable. I'm not sure if i just missed it or i didn't get it but yeah. "What happened to Boram? especially during the exam? Did she realize something?" cause I feel like we deserve to know her more. After all, she became close to both main leads. Also, the ending? It is a bit rushed? Idk why i felt that way. With that, I agree to a person who commented here the same thing I did, that this should be a drama.
Another good movie of Jackson. Been a fan of him for so long with his group, TFBoys until he started acting. I've watched his movie before entitled "Better Days" then "A Little Red Flower" Now this one. All the movies had simple storyline (slice of life) but the way he play the characters always impress me, always moved me. 2 hours+ long but definitely worth of your time.

• Just a little turn off with the wardrobe especially Maeum (her shoes tho) but she's cute. Sejeong can pull off anything so yeah
Of course, Yoona (Miho) and LJS (PCH)'s relationship along with the father of Miho, is given as well because they're like a breathe from the intensity of the drama. Who would've thought that we can get a thriller/suspense + romcom drama? Haha.
However, there was one thing which I considered to be a bit regretting especially for the first episode. Episode one was good but idk why i felt that there was something off about it? Not sure if it's the character of LJS (PCH), the direction of the plot, the pacing, etc. Whatever that was, it's the reason why it didn't have the best first impression in me
But, but, but. . glad that episode two was able to turn the tables. It became better and more interesting specifically, at the latter part.
Now down to my theories,
• I think and I feel like it would be better if PCH is not the Big Mouse but someone who's least expected and more, if he's someone close to him like Miho, the father in law/father of Miho, or the mayor, or someone who's getting close to him like Jerry. The split-personality occured to me as well but i think it will be too predicted/predictable. If not close to him, someone who has the same characteristics as him (PCH). Someone who is seen weak, foolish, etc. but yeah cause I believe that the "same-character" method won't be that effective?? cause a lot of movies or dramas already did it.
• With relation to the first one, if he's not the big mouse, he's starting to be one. It's like big mouse became the reason for his living apart from his wife. (Referring to ep. 2 where-in he realized that he's strong)
• Big Mouse might be an organization.
You know what makes even more upsetting? She even said "Why do I have to tell you to know that?" Like girl, you've been so consistent with this certain guy and you expect your boyfriend to act like he should care or something? Of course, he would be jealous or mad because even after the date, you're THAT clingy. And then saying he's selfish? Really? The guts. Because of this episode, I lost my respect in her.
But then I also don't agree that what Taewan did at the last was right. She listened to him "entirely" when he's confessing his honest feelings and I think he should do the same. I feel like his emotions were on top or at peak and I think that's not a good sign. He became so emotional and honest to the point that he threw everything off without thinking that she could be totally hurt by it. The emotional damage, it's insane. The way he said it was like he wasn't even happy at least once in their relationship and that, as a girl, hurts like hell. If i were on her shoes, I would definitely get traumatized by it.
For Yunseul and Hyogi, I can see that they're trying. It's just that they're so different and it won't end even if they try to be honest with each other. Again, love isn't enough. Like the hosts said, "How can they be so different?" "That pairs like them exist?"
Lastly, I wanna put this certain saying "Comparison is the thief of (all) joy." I bet some of you already know this quote but yeah, I certainly agree to an extent. Instead of comparing, focus on your own relationships, your own selves because at the end of the day, it's about you and your partner.
