As expected, you're delusional
🥱

I feel the same, enjoyed every episode - it wasn't perfect, i was emotionally detached, but somehow that made the suspense quite bearable.

You appear to have a strong opinion. The less you know about something, the more strongly you feel. Real life is much more complicated and balanced than celebrity gossip can possibly reveal. The news leaves out so much vital information it's foolish to make sweeping judgements based on it. If you had first hand knowledge of any situation, whatever it is, you'd see just how crap and inaccurate news reports are.

All shows' comments spoil the show, what's wrong with people? I always avoid until I've finished the drama!

I think you should have ticked the spoiler box... My favourite scene in the whole drama was when Ra-el broke yung-chul's ankle, brilliantly done. I found the end a little overcooked - the baddies had done enough to justify their fates already, but the drama kept on ramping up their bad deeds to justify a spectacular conclusion without laying a spec of guilt or blame on the protagonists. And it made 15 episodes, 13 years of evidence collection a bit of a waste of time.

Almost as if their roles got swapped, would have been awesome if they switched

I enjoyed Eve, I enjoyed watching Seo Ye ji again, she metered her character's growth very well and I especially liked her in the latter half, she spoke lovely Spanish to silence her critics. The dancing didn't really work, the show's fashion designer was trying way too hard (surely less is more when off the catwalk), male lead was okay but basically had one expression on his face at all times and lacked charisma, the plot went a little ott at times, baddies a little corny - although Han Sora was super entertaining. All in all the narrative was a touch too blunt, characters lacking sufficient depth, defined by their actions rather than their personalities and thus failing to connect with the audience. I would have liked Attorney Seo to have a bigger role, one of the high points. Anyway, very pleased to see Ye-ji keeping up her energy levels with a solid performance throughout, her A-list credentials in no doubt, with no disrespect she's a trifle overqualified for this production.

You're pretty cool Laura, I saw you'd replied and was preparing for you to slap me (metaphorically). I like your style. I could talk a bit about the trend for webtoon adaptations, strengths and weaknesses compared to dramas of the old fashioned writers; they tend to lack characters with depth and productions are undermined by the premise they're making the drama for webtoon fans - the 3% - and blindly stay loyal to the source even when it isn't at all cinematic. As if they're scared of a nerd telling them off on sns and ruining their reputations or something. Modern productions are a little cowardly in that respect.

Count me in, I'll watch her all day and all night. The way she transforms into her characters is incredible, like an instant metamorphosis.

You can continue to enjoy the web novel, maybe the TV drama isn't for you.

Some people feel possessive of the source material, any deviation diminishes their significance; such people are attention seeking narcissists that enjoy spoiling adaptations for others just to show how knowledgeable and great they are. I, on the other hand, just want to see the best drama possible, adapt away good drama gods of South Korea.

She's fantastic in Attorney Woo Young Woo, and by chance I watched Go Back, not realising she was in that too, and enjoyed her performance. She has a magic quality of complementing the rest of the cast whilst shining all by herself too, she's a natural joy, so likeable, her future's very bright.

You're right about the music, sounds like Leenalchi one of the most awesome groups I've heard... but can't find any evidence - maybe a copy - bass player is hard to replicate, he's a one off, his groove is unique, it's rare I can't make out his riffs.

Are they though? The four? Why's Kwak Shi-yang acting as if he's retarded (as of ep. 7 where I leave this drama), he was cool and handsome at the start, what happened to his character since the first episodes?

Those are your words, as you know, I'll start by quoting you: "is there a possible chance that gopuri could be a woman[?]".
I don't know... But to indulge your guess, the person referred to as 'gopuri' was strangling our dude in the hospital - or to put it another way, kicking his wussy ass.

Hi Laura, it's doing quite badly in the ratings for a KBS (free to air) show, and with a good cast too. Also I suppose intelligent Koreans would be aghast at being lumped in with this target audience.
If there's black humour in the webtoon, why's the TV show so crass?
KBS has underestimated its audience and completely misjudged their tenor here.
Go back to your buddies in your cosy Netflix office, oblivion is bliss, right?

It's the pronoun I use to refer to 'a woman'.

That would be.... Abyss-mal.

You nailed it. But... who was that totally cool chick in episode 1? I gave episode 1 a 10. That's how much this show enjoys mocking its audience.

No, you're better off watching a J-porno and skipping the sex scenes, much better than this on a dramatic level.
Hope that one stings, Netflix, it's meant to.
