Actually, you are right. Its the georestriction . I don't want to watch illegally if I could help it so I stick to legal sites. BUT I also like binge watching it. Just not when it's over since I miss out on all the fun discussions :( I like to watch around ep 10 but I can't do that with netflix thanks to that.
Yes I prefer too the 12 episodes format than 16 because often with 16 the last episodes are fillers because they…
True especially those heavily focused on crimes or just romance so I prefer this too. I usually get bored by ep 8 or 10 so this is like a perfect number.
no if you watch you will know why unless you want me to give spoiler
Expecting a good ending for a show with the premise of sexual trafficking is a bit...
Anyway, BIG SPOILERS
The ending is ambigous. It's up for interpretation but the last episode ended up with an attempt murder where our main protagonist almost kills the second female and male lead (we don't know if they dead, they left it with one of them being rushed to the hospital and the other stabbed in the male lead's room after they fought). While our main leads try to run away. Not sure if they succeed cuz again, they left it for "interpretation".
Spot on review! I especially agree about the Prime Minister. What was the POINT of her storyline? It went absolutely…
I'm happy to hear you find my non professional review helpful. It's honestly felt like a half baked script. They had the concept so they decied to flim it before the author invested time in perfecting it. And omg yes, I multitasked whenever the investigation scenes come on. Like I literally missed out on nothing by letting it play on the background and I skipped through the romance after 7 episodes of sticking through it. Best decision I made.
The amount of plot holes and plot convenience had me lose my mind. I probably missed a few but here is my list.
1. The King said that time in the third dimension is slow so one day = 60 days at best (2 months). Which means staying in that dimension for ONE hour makes 2.5 days and half an hour makes around 1.25 day pass. 6 hours pass by if you stay there for 15 MINUTES, 3 if you are there for 7.5 minutes! So staying there for 1 minute will make a big change yet our heroes here be coming back and forth, trying to plant seeds, places balloons, acting as if time is going slower than faster. They even TRAVEL between the world using that dimension. What happened to time of the essence?
2. The moment they introduce the turning back time AND made Lee Lim go back TOO, I lost hope. If Lee Lim remembers that he slayed himself in the past which he proves in episode 15 (they turned this villain into a dumbass) then he could stop himself from getting killed by merely not going into the past. It needs both halves of the flute to Time Travel. I still fail to understand what went through this guy's head. If you have memories that you were a dumbass, I would avoid going to the past not only to STOP MYSELF but to STOP MY ENEMY from saving himself. Again, this whole thing is disoriented. Like one minute Lee Gon and Lee Lim realized older version of him saved himself so then he goes back but all of sudden, it doesn't work for the villain. He need to be an idiot for this to work... how CONVENIENT!
(Gotta love how this Flute knew EXACTLY what time period to time travel to, the 1994 when the villain could have went to 1993?).They had an explanation by conveniently saying it's the anniversary but they further prove how wack this is when they made him go to the past a SECOND time not that long after. Again, WHY NOT 1993?
I can come up with an reasonable explanation and say they kept going to 1994 because the flute broke that day, therefore, can only travel to that time. However, it doesn't make sense why they can't go before the death of the King's father. This plot device have no limits.
3. Gotta love the plot hole where the main couple literally had NO REASON to be "fated" to be. It's just Lee Gon accidentally taking her police badge and opps, CONVENIENTLY had it lost in his 8 year old self so he can "search" for the savior he was in love with before he met. If you are in love because she saved you, wouldn't that mean he should love himself since he saved himself. But you know? We won't have our badly written romance if we didn't have that moment, amiright? Why else would he be interested in her? That one scene rendered this whole romance useless.
4. There are so many universe yet everyone exist in all of them except Lee Lim? Wouldn't the flute exist in those other universe too? It's like the writer forgot to mention it. In one of the universe, the King is a tyrant so wouldn't the King of that world use the flute for evil? It doesn't make sense! One world is special, the others isn't? So where is the limit for this type of stories? All the possibilities is limitless if the author doesn't give an explanation.
5. Another plot hole is the ending. After they killed Lee Lim the past changed for a lot people by making Prince Buyeong save Shin Jae doppelganger and Luna meeting Seo Ryung mother... that's NOT supposed to happen. Killing Lee Lim shouldn't CHANGE anyone's past EXCEPT Lee Gon and Shin Jae. The connection ISN'T THERE! Shin Jae's mom would still try to make them both suicide. Prince Buyeong wasn't in there in that past so he shouldn't MAGICALLY appear all of sudden to give "hope". Luna also didn't have any reason on why she couldn't meet the mother in the past when she had cancer!
I swear all of this could have been avoided if the author spent few minutes to think her decision through. She could have made Lee Gon help them but nope, we need the convenient coincidence that only creates inconsistencies!
I'm such a lazy person that I never wrote a review before. But I finally pushed myself to write one on why this show missed the mark. This is a summary of what I wrote.
1. Too many pointless, flat characters. Prime Minister is the prime example here. You watched 16 episodes of a character who had no relevancy. What impact did she have on the plot? You will not be able to remember one instance that you could say she was relevant to the story that a side character couldn't do.
2. Too many unnecessary scenes. We didn't need the investigation. They were all a waste of time. All of them. What's the point of bringing up cases if the male character found out through other means? Take out the investigation scenes and the story doesn't change much. He finds out all his information outside of it. I'm sure if the writer was capable, she could somehow use a different approach on letting him find out the other minor information.
3. There were some people who complained about the female lead overreaction in the romance but I personally find the king to be the worst. He fall in love with her BADGE! By 2nd episode, the guy is head over heels even tho episode 1 ended with him meeting her for the FIRST time... that's literally my biggest issue with the romance. The way it started ruined everything.
I want to speak about plothole and the million plot CONVENIENCE this show decided to put but I'll leave it in another comment because they are heavy spoilers.

Okay drama. Not the best. I had to skip most of the romance scenes - frankly, it would've been better without…
The moment I saw her kick in the first episode, I knew she would be a damsel in distress. K-dramas always bring female fighters in the first episode but reduce them into nothing by the second episode. This is also a pet peeve of mine.
