I watched Low Life and I really enjoyed it...

So far I'm torned between an 8-8.5 rating. Might be an 9 but the ending must be really strong. The pacing is kinda inconsistent and there are times when I feel kinda bored but overall the story is interesting and tackles serious topics. Both main leads are very charismatic, especially Lee Ha Nee, I cannot take my eyes off the screen when she appears.

The scene on Episode 4 where Heeran points out how ridiculous the script is had me roling on the floor, it really felt like I was watching a cringe telenovela. I love it when the story changes between the actual story and the story of Aema.

I have the same question. I guess that they either scared them of or kidnapped them? I don't think they are dead. As for Gwan Seok, that might be his twin brother, Heedong's father.

Hmmm, I would say that it's worth it but since you have a short attention span, take it easy if you decide to watch it. Do not try to binge watch it, instead do it at your own pace.

I really enjoyed Jin Seon Kyu in Through The Darkness and the plot seems very intriguing, so I'll give it a try soon!

Finished watching it. Holy moly. That ending gotta be one of the best endings I've seen so far in a kdrama

I'm about to finish watching it for the first time and I agree, it's very underrated.

It's pretty good so far, I definitely recommend it

Completely agree about the lack of the psychological exploration of the characters. Especially the villain's.

So far it's an 8.5 for me but if the ending is good, it could definitely be a 9. But that depends on the direction of the remaining episodes.

Currently watching Episode 3 and I'm sorry but Dongsoo getting outsmarted by Doyoung while trying to fool him is so funny. What made him believe he could fool a literal gangster leader?

The thing is, Netflix barely promotes its kdramas unless they generate some hype. They didn't even do a lot to promote WEAK HERO CLASS, one of their most popular dramas. The Winning Try deserves more marketing but of course they'll ignore it...

This seems interesting.

I am so tired of the lack of promotion from Netflix, the series deserves so much more recognition, why can't they put more effort to promote it more internationally?

I totally agree with you. She might have expressed disappointment (as expected, there's nothing wrong with that) but we never saw her attacking Ujin for her win or complain about it. She accepted that she came second and that's it. She is not holding grudges against Ujin, when she woke her up she was very much clueless about the recommendation letter, the only thing she cared about was the fact she was woken up from a dream about Seongjun. She is not even trying to sabotage Ujin's dream to enter to college, she doesn't even seem interested in the first place. The shooting coach used Ujin's admision. Seolhyun never asked for that. I really hope that the writers will not villainize her character.

I understand that Ju Garam has been under so much pressure and he cannot afford to let Ung be a burden for the team because of his inability to tackle. His intentions at the training scene are noble but his behavior was lowkey abusive.

In what world is okay for a coach to grab their athlete by the collar and throw them on the ground? Last time I checked, rugby is not a martial arts sports and even in martial arts, a coach will never be so careless with their apprentices.

Aside from the fact that this is physical abuse, it could really break the spirit of an athlete to see their coach handle them like that. Again, Ju Garam's frustration is logical and he is being harsh because he wanted to encourage Ung. I get it. I do not expect him to pamper him, he is not a baby and if he wants to become a professional rugby player, he must overcome his fear. After all, tackling is essential in rugby and by not being able to tackle, not only limits his abilities but it pushes back the whole team.

That being said, Ju Garam's attitude was toxic. Manhandling your athlete like that and lashing at the rest of the team is not ideal for a coach, no matter how good the intentions are. He literally threw Ung on the ground two times. Am I supposed to hate on the shooting coach for what he did to Woojin and praise Ju Garam? He didn't hurt Ung but his actions weren't correct either.

And the way he proceeded to tell to Ung that unless he tackles him today, he is done with rugby really made me want to cry. Urgent problems require urgent solutions but the writers could have found a healthier way to make Ju Garam help Ung overcome his trauma. What he did could literally be described as physical and mental torture and no, I don't care how woke I sound. This is the plain truth.

I do not hate Ju Garam for his method to train Ung by pushing him to his limits. I understand the writers' goal by making him act so stern and harsh. I just think they could have handled it much better because it's hypocritical to allow Ju Garam to showcase toxic traits and praise him for that when the series highlights the abuse that takes place in sports. If they address this on the later episodes by making Ju garam realise that he is a product of the system he was raised in, I will allow this. For now, I will settle by saying that I'm happy with the outcome (Ung overcoming his fear) but I do not condone the method.

Sorry, I don't care how many people will disagree with me but what happened in the rain scene did not sit right with me. Like, at all.

The problem is that the writers barely put any effort in moon baek. Kim Young kwang had to work with had he had and he did a good job to make Moon Baek interesting. Moon baek as a character was too shallow and I totally agree that the writing and narration did not help.
