As someone who loved this drama through its run, I feel so ecstatic and validated!

I have watched 17 episodes and honestly, I just don't feel it. I wish I enjoyed the story like many people did but the plot became too convoluted and not in a good way. I have zero issue with slow paced stories, which take their time to unfold but what Mouse did from episode 8 till episode 15 is create unnecessary subplots and plot twists for the sake of it.

Characterization was brushed aside a long time ago, only Ba Reum has some sense of complexity. Mu Chi is unfortunately very one dimensional compared to the beginning, Bong Yi has lost her initial charm and Hong Ju is...there, I guess. Because of the investigative nature of the drama, we don't spend much time with the characters outside of the investigation and their dynamics are not explored properly, so every attempt to create more depth falls flat, for me.

At this point, I just hope the ending will stick the landing.

After watching A Bona Fide Killer, I was pleasantly surprised to see Ha Yul Ri in this drama too! Very happy to see her again on my screen!

I appreciated the Hyun Bong Sik cameo too, love it when he pops up in dramas.

She ended up with no one.

You gagged them.

I am so proud for the team behind the drama, seeing the ratings going up and viewers praising it after its finale makes me feel so happy for deciding to stick with it till the end!

Hwang Bomi, how could a cutie pie like you become a scene-stealer at such a young age? I am impressed by her acting, she was a natural and her chemistry with her on-screen parents was so wholesome. May she grow up to become a great actress.

I was so relieved about him not being a villain or something!

I totally agree with everything you said.

Loved her performance so much!

Both Bo Na and Tae Seong were equally devoted to each other, like, what?

There were some people on twitter who said that they dropped the series because of that aspect, they felt like Bo Na was too focused on her family.

I understand why some people might get an ick at seeing a FL being so devoted to her family but personally, I never interpreted A Bona Fide Killer as a tradwife-propaganda story or something. Bona had been alone for years, she had been deprived of her family and she felt so alone and tired, to the point of falling into depression. Taejeong helped her in her path to recovery and together, they built something she always wanted to cherish: a loving family. A woman creating her own family is not conservatism. Bo Na is still independent, she still does her job (whatever it is, lol) and she has freedom.

Police is usually pretty incompetent in kdramas and the one time we actually needed them to be like that, they turned out to be descendants of Sherlock Holmes or something 😭

This can turn out to be fine or borderline homophobic.

Everyone saying they dislike the laugh of the Prosecutor, meanwhile this is one of my favourite traits of his character, lol

I think that some of you should accept that not everything will appeal to everyone. I love many series which I understand that will not be for everyone and that's fine! Constructive criticism is always welcome!

I consider both of them great in what they do. They are different in terms of stories, especially since Through The Darkness is based on real people and cases. I personally watched Beyond Evil first and Through The Darkness after but the decision is yours. It depends of what you want to watch. Through The Darkness might be more emotionally draining since it focuses more on he victims and their cases.

I can't believe that Hwang Dong Hyuk produced this, now I am even more curious to check it out.

I am on episode 10 and I feel like I lose 5 years of my life every time I watch another episode...And before anyone will claim that I hate slow paced stories, some of my top kdramas are literally Beyond Evil, Through The Darkness and Black Out.
