I could have given this a higher rating, the production quality was a little lacking in sound engineering and editing - I guess it was going for the 'natural' feel. But performances were great. Story was brave. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Started watching on Netflix, switched to Viki during episode 4, I found their English subtitles captured Korean culture a little better, after all that's why I watch k-dramas. 14 episodes in exported version, not sure what happens in the 13 episode version.

Idk. Tomorrow and Mystic popup were supernatural stories. If you're going to compare, it's more like Chocolate since a large part featured a hospice, although Chocolate tried to be all dramas in one, way too much going on there: medical drama subterfuge, multiple accidents, cooking, childhood traumas, travel, chaebols, you name it.

Sorry, I don't follow... why did he take the whole car with 2 dead bodies along with all the money? He could have made off with a decent sum, scattered some notes on the floor, nobody would have even known, they'd have just thought it disappeared in the wind or the murderers took it.

Maybe, but not how this guy went about it, choosing the stupidest of all the options available to him... I guess he must have considered just running off with some cash, but then what would happen in the next 9 episodes? He felt he owed it to Netflix to act like an idiot and drag things out in the most 'dramatic' way possible.

Is there a reason why, at the start, the guy didn't just pinch a few wads of cash and scarper instead of incriminating himself to that degree? I can't bear it - it's not for me, it churns my stomach to watch.

And it isn't out of the box, it's pretty typical gangster fare

Spoiler alert. Guess he makes it to the end and it's a typical Netflix inconclusive ending then. Thanks very much.

'Noir' doesn't work over 10 episodes, it's too monotonous

Same. Shot just like a movie, doesn't really work as a drama series, it's 5 hours too long. It's not that there's too much story though, it's pretty straightforward - if they had time, the opening episode could have tried harder to build the characters and family dynamic instead of cinematic snapshots rushing instantly to the 'good stuff'... Netflix's desperate attempt to hook viewers has taken a toll.

Great performance, agree

The comment's from a viewer that thought Tomorrow was good, sets off a few alarm bells 🚨

Agree with John Smith, you should try to say what you think's lacking otherwise it's a pointless comment, no offence

Joon Kyung appears to have similar personality disorders to those analysed in a recent trial in Virginia - borderline and histrionic. K-dramas use psych profiles to combine character types. It's interesting to try and spot them and makes the characters relateable, we all know someone a bit like this or that.

He's great, he captures the social awkwardness and dissonance that comes with growing up without care or warmth

Nurse Seo gets cuter by the minute. I think it's exponential, she grows twice as lovely every minute, including the minutes she's off screen.... so after ep 8, that's about 2 to the power of 480 (2^480 if you want to put it in your calculator), she's so cute the number's too big to imagine! 😵‍💫

I think it's marvellous, it grows and cultivates the characters, there are mini stories every week, Park Jin-joo's was especially nice as an example. As weeks go by you feel as if you know everyone and hope for their best lives and wishes.

There's a lot going on aside from romance, but nobody does romance like K-romance, it's cute and adorable, just like we wish for in real life. I've grown to love this drama, it's beautiful.

I have no clue what will happen, I'm not a webtoon fan and was just messing around - I hope my prediction is false, otherwise it makes me a total arse! I've yet to see a totally rocking webtoon adaptation, Business Proposal was good for the most part, but writer-driven dramas are still the best. Yumi s1 was the best adaptation I've seen, spoilt by s2 though.

Spoiler alert! He might choose the righteous path... yet will still end up with the girl and a nice sum of money as a bonus

I guess you only get SD if you don't pay
