This started off intriguing and unique, then it got annoying. Why? The romance.
I liked the character's model given to Justitia and I can definitely see her in Kang Bitna. I understand she may need human feelings for her to get a character development but I don't think it was executed properly. Justitia is a demon of 400+ years old who's cold and unfeeling. Make it make sense why she'll fall so HARD in love with a human just within weeks of meeting him. Love that clouded her judgement, influenced all her decisions and rapidly changed her. It was too fast. Unrealistically so. Why can't we just have a cold selfish character that is ruthless but may evolve humane bit by bit?
I disliked how she gave the criminals light sentences just because she wanted to kill them(she could have sentenced them properly but kill them later by exporting them out if prison or something like she did to one villian, killing two birds with a stone) but that's Justitia. She doesn't gaf and is only selfish. But then soon, it started to seem as if she lives only for Han Daon. Han Daon this, Han Daon that, I even got tired of hearing his name.
As if the sudden love fever ain't enough, the love interest had to be a pitiful, saint by the book, dull doormat. He doesn't complement the FL at all. They're not a power couple. She's just like a mama bear to him and he's just there, being stupid, self pitying, crying and taking reckless actions when he can. I don't know if it's the character or the actor, but there's no aura at all.
I don't know and I don't care if they had chemistry or not because I was busy skipping their scenes.
Romance out. Demon theme next. We're talking demons here, who'd been in hell for eons. So, why do they seem to be so easily weakened and laughable? Why were they so adapted to human world, trends and the technology? Why were the demons convictions so weak? The ranks thing seems laughable too; A whole Satan so easily defeated. What a child play. And the whole angel-demon collaboration was laughably amusing, looks like a fairytale. The CGI wasn't giving too.
And I don't even know what to feel about how demons are able to enter a church and avoid the cross burns just by wearing sunglasses and how a demon can become so easily religious. What is the writer trying to say exactly? Lol.
I also understand product placement is important but cola was almost shoved to our faces almost in every scenes, wth 😂
Also, I think the court was too disrespected in this drama. FL drinking in court was annoying to watch and some of her actions just to prove 'badass.' She could have been badass while keeping court etiquettes too.
Let me not go into how irrational and stupid it was for the lead detective to hunt a serial killer by herself. Or how everyone was looking the same as 25 years ago.
All in all, first few episodes were good. Personally, romance ruined the drama for me. It turned into a child's play. And the whole sudden bad-turned-good-compassionate didn't work for me. It could have been executed better; slowly. The plot was unique at first, but then derailed from what it wanted to be. Just became a sunshiny family reunion drama.
PSH's acting was spectacular and some others were good, as for the ML, not so much;the drama could have done better with none, in my opinion.
I like it. It's not an exactly accurate movie; the love at first sight thingy and all. I hate cheating. I don't like it here either but I understand her wanting to be selfish when she's dying. Her relationship with her husband has been on edge for long because of her illness and the husband has always felt sorry for her and viewed her as a patient but the boy treated her like a woman, probably why she felt for him easily, he made her feel long lost spark. Also, she didn't have much time to have bonded well with her son, rather he's bonded with his father and grandma, there's that too. Her decision will definitely hurt the husband and kid, although she SELFISHLY did that because she felt sorry for them. Their shamelessness while cheating is to be studied though, lol.
I like it. A story of an ordinary gay guy with struggles. A flawed character. He's selfish and I could see why most of his partners complains about him. Mostly, he only thinks about himself and his own satisfaction. I still feel bad about NamGyu. I like that he's taking the responsibilities for all his actions, the consequences.
For one, Kylie. Kyle is a big variable in his life, influenced alot. I wish he could communicate. He and Gyu ho could have communicated. I like how it shows how much he loved him and could have made better decisions back then. His and Gyu Ho's relationship was cute. They look and seem good together. Gyuho was so good. It's a pity. Throughout Young's years, I think he only had a self awareness and character development in the last two episodes.
I wished they show more of his friends, but I guess his pov is mostly all about himself. He's so out of it, he's oblivious to his surroundings. I like his friends, especially Eun Soo. However, episode 8 insinuation of EunSoo's relationship status was confusing. Did he later break off his marriage or what?
Good performance from the actors 👍 It was a good show 😊
Btw, is it the actor himself that does his mouth that way or is it his character's triat? Cause it makes him look pouty and childish. Because if it was to make him look 'gay,' I find it unnecessary.
Hmm. Lol, I don't even know what to feel about this drama.
1. The FL. I didn't like her at the beginning. Her deceit left a bad taste. The scam plot made me uncomfortable(I loathe the act of scam). But she want out herself. Although, this is only because she felt for the ML. She still wanted to proceed to other 'candidates.' Granted, she owed money but I find her method of payment irresponsible. But I think I still like her character's growth in the whole drama.
2. The ML was disappointing. I won't say I understand how PTSD works, so maybe that's why I can't understand how he could be so irresponsible as a father, even if he doesn't care about other things. Apart from the trauma arc, he still couldn't be a father. Only that one conversation which magically fixed the father-daughter relationship 🙂 Also, how he and his family, except his sister, overlooked the suspicions from the FL 🙄
3. The Grandma was a snub. An arrogant conceited woman who doesn't see anything except herself. I hated how the writer managed to write her in pity, and instead of her owning up to her wrongs and redeeming it, they managed to make the husband submit to her, again. She and her children treat her husband and their father lowly undeservingly. He deserved much better. But then, that's his own sacrifice. The Grampa was also stupid with that scam arc 😑
4. The scammer family was nauseating. They have no boundaries. I hated how at the end, everything just got swept away as if these people had no bad intention, ruined families and almost ruined another family. They suddenly gave the characters a sudden makeover. It's as if they did nothing wrong at all. I hated it.
5. I don't understand the logic behind that past-present-future cycle the ML was doing. Seems too messy, lacking and unnecessary of a life for me. I got tired of it at a point. It got uninteresting. In my opinion, their so called superpower was a curse.
6. There's no chemistry and concrete romance. From the ML's side, it's as if the FL gave him hope of his obsession with saving in his past life, the hope of her saving their family, that was the love. Their romance was uninteresting to me. And the ML magically got to forget his child's mother just weeks in his new relationship. As for the FL's feelings, I think it evolved from pity and is more genuine than the ML's but whatever 😑
7. I don't understand why almost every characters in this drama managed to be jobless. For the power the grandma has, it didn't seem like they made anything tangible from it, these people could have had multiple investments and businesses. Only stocks and spending. The FL family too. Well, they scam for a living, even though they didn't know when to stop 🙂
8. Let's not delve deep into the unrealistic 'weight loss' journey of the sister too.
9. I'm all for imperfect and flawed characters, because perfect characters are boring and unoriginal. However, in this drama, the characters are mostly stupid or wicked swindlers. I like imperfect characters but I also want characters developments because we can't be the same for life. The so called character development here seem like an artificial 'good characters turn bad' and 'characters reunion.' It was rushed for happy ending purpose and didn't feel sincere. Dunno if I expressed that well.
10. The sister's character growth was too dragged. She was knowingly heading into fire of marriage for desperation. I expected more from her. I also ship her and grace in a love hate way, lol.
Phew, those are the vents I remember for now.
As for the ending, sigh... This drama feels ridiculously amusing in its writings and some of its logic, that I can't even get completely angry at it. But it also left me some unsatisfactory feelings. More negative, although I can't pinpoint what exactly, it was too much.
Lol. First of all, did the detectives really pass their exams? What sort of unintelligent, and lazy detective were they? Even the ML as a criminal profiler is even more smarter and knows what to do than the detectives.
Second of all, what sort of music editing is that? It made me lower my volume cause it was so annoying. Unnecessary music in scenes or non befitting music for scenes, wtf. Never knew ost editing was so important until I watched this.
What was that ending? Investigation but not everyone was arrested and put into law. The secretary of that bipolar woman was overlooked. Also, was Subin invisible in this drama or what? She wasn't suspected and even when the inspector knew about her, her identity never even leaked at all which didn't make sense! She was so sus bro. Damn, what sort of police and detectives are in this drama?🤦
The characters didn't interest me. Also, tell me why ML desperately warned the FL not trust anybody and the next scenes, she went ahead falling into trap, twice. I understand her desperation but🤦🤦🤦
The Cult theme seems like an afterthought, dunno. It wasn't fully fleshed out. These people don't have the mind of belief and craziness it takes to raise a cult. They were too mild. The cult plot was poorly written.
I like the suspense, that was what kept me going. Acting is average. Unexplained things and plotholes. Poor action scenes. Low IQ detectives. Cinematography and directing is average. Music editing is trash. Ending is unsatisfactory. Story is just there. They also managed to make the drama look low budget, which I don't know if it's a fact or not🙂
I liked it at the beginning but I don't just know, want feeling it at some points. There are still some confusing things. Why can't they just talk?😑 I don't think the sex or nudity scenes were unnecessary though, it was communicative. And I think the ending result was the one shown in the first episode.
I personally think JCW and his character stole the show.
I understand JJS has to keep the the ruggedness of a queen to be respected, but I think she's expressionless. Maybe because she's been doing movies where she has to be expressionless or so, I didn't notice before. Her character appears to unfeeling. He has no chemistry with JCW too.
There are still many questions like why the White Tiger leader spared the Queen at that scene. Some things were unrealistic too because considering how powerful and animalistic the white tigers were, the queen troupe shouldn't have been able to win. With so many assasins too, but anyways...
And that directing was unattractive.
I think it was okay but I expected more. It was unsatisfactory.
Hmm. Dunno where to start from First of all, THE ACTING AJD ACTORS WERE AMAZING! Playing characters after characters, while maintaining their original role, damn. It was an art.
Characters wise, not so satisfied. Jeongnyeon is talented and flawed. She's ambitious, so that explains her crazy acts sometimes. I do find her over the top sometimes and I didn't like the pity party they gave her in ep 8,9. She reaped what she sowed. She made others started blaming themselves and disrupted the atmosphere with her actions. She wanted to eat her cake and have it all the time. She's fitting for a FL but I didn't like her all the time. She got so annoying to me at some point. She was still given the protagonist halo though🤷
Heo Youngso had one impressive character development. She's flawed, yet, impressive. I like her.
Yooran, hmm. I think I like her at the beginning but the writer seems to want to get rid of her and her aura, she started blending in as a supporting character than a main she started with. So disappointing. As for her decision, it was sad but not surprising. But that plotline seems like she got disposed from the story. And it was obvious with the confessions and all that that she loved Jeongnyeon and vice versa. Although, I would have preferred her with Youngseo.
Okgyeong was a complex character and her actions didn't surprise me at all. Her last action seem befitting of her, yet, sudden. Like another character disposal.
Hyerang wanted to protect what they have but she did it wrongly. And it's disappointing that what she and Mr Ok did got swept under the rug, because their actions affected the troupe significantly.
I like Chorok's character development too. I also like other characters like Doaeng and Jeongnyeon's sister too, amongst others.
It was a good one👍, although not so satisfied with the story.
It's nice, I like as the ML cowardice pushed away when it was time to get serious. But I don't know why the stupid bully and the ML himself blamed the ML for what happened in the past. Bro, he was the one who wrote those words on his shoes, it got returned to him, so how was that his own fault?? It's an okay movie.
It's good. Interesting enough. I liked how the writer didn't try to cram in plenty plots and focused on a thing. Although, the ML's acting can be stiff sometimes. I like KSK's acting and nimbleness. And Bumbal was one lucky cowardly bastard 😂 Also, what was that ending 🙄
adoptive pops wasn't his biological pops. writer just wanted to show that they were a real family all along despite…
Oh, I understand. Then why bother letting him waste those journeys to find his real. And I'm curious as to why none of the candidates turned out to be the one. Maybe the 4th one he never explored?
I liked it. I like the plot and how flawed the characters were written. The balanced comedic tone to it. Although, the death theme wasn't too emotional for me, maybe because we've been prepared for it from the beginning?
The ML and FL were very flawed, had abandonment issues, mommy and daddy issues, and maybe some bad luck. They loved each other but their relationship wasn't healthy. They hurt each other too. Maybe it was best that they ended up with each other, so as not to hurt other potential partners.
Although, it seemed like the FL was truly going to move on to the SML, she wasn't as free with him as the ML. I feel bad for her though, if she'd married the second ML, she wouldn't have been dragged into the 'after death' trauma. Even if it's not sure she may have had a happy life with the SML.
The ML in particular has many issues, I read an interesting theory that he had issues with the females in his life because he blamed himself for his mother's incident, he didn't mention her much and his father didn't commit to any female too because they blamed themselves and were traumatised, I think it was plausible theory. Although, I tried to understand why him not being his biological son is an excuse to abandon him. Because the drama was from his pov, it wasn't perfect, so it made somethings make sense.
I like the side characters too, I felt bad for Eo heung. He deserved much better than the FL also.
The questions I have is: I'm still confused if his father was his real father and how long has he known? And if he really was, why didn't they consider a DNA test back then instead of just relying on numbers? And why didn't he consider the probability that he contacted the illness from his mother, was it the guilt?
Excellent acting, good cinematography and directing👍
