Duncan

Yes he looks like a kid trying to show off how much he is tough especially when at episode 2 he walks in the street and thought " I'm sure there are monsters in the world, but none as bad as I am " and pull his jacket like he is so proud of himself ( so cute ! ). The drama is so good but it's even more when Dong Shik and In woo interact together !

I'm still thinking there will be more bromance between them because of the misunderstandings xD Perhaps Seo will think DS wants to cover him ? Or he will thinks he is an undercover cop and tried to kill him again but will fail surely ? Or he will meet the gangster neighbor and thinks DS is a chief of gangsters :') lol

I hope the drama will keep this pace it's so good and when DS reproduces movies's moments it's so well done !! Personnally I hope the misunderstand will last because often in a drama when the misunderstand is solved it becomes boring... I love how he takes the bad guys down with sweet smiles.

I have a question : I'm the only one who thinks DS will change in a good way Seo In Woo ? I know he is a psychopath but it's a drama and he seems to not be so cold-hearted than I thought he would be ? So I keep my hopes high and I don't say he will have a nice ending because he must pay for his crimes but I would love to see for once a bad guy who repents himself before the end... In my opinion he just needs a friend and DS is there for him <3

A drama with the comedy of errors (misunderstanding ) + a lucky mainlead where we wonder if he is clever or just dumb I could recommend " Chief Kim "+ the realtion between Dong Shik and Seo reminds me Sung Ryung and Seo Yool ( a lot of bromance and funny moments between them and it starts off with a misunderstanding too ).

My fellow citizens too was not bad but it's not on the same level.

With dark comedy : Prison Playbook was fun too and with a lot of likeable characters !

I picked Up a start on the road in fun ( in my opinion ) and the mainlead too is lucky because she doesn't get in trouble even when she kidnapped someone lol

With Yoo Shi Yoo ( who plays Dong Shik ) with an almost similar role : Your honor (the pace is slow but I found his character so likeable and sweet because he takes his brother place but instead of being a jerk he is sweet and that remind me DS who thought he is the serial killer sohe takes his place but in fact he is sweet ).

You're not the only one !!! .^. I talked about it on dramanice a few hours ago lol It's because Dong Shik plays the dumb guy but is really clever actually like Dexter and Dexter was killing only bad peoples(and honestly I found Dexter sweet too with his smiles even if he was a serial killer) . This drama reminds me Dexter and the main character and his sensei in psycho mob (because the mc seems weak but is in fact strong and his sensei is a big liar but he has always luck to get out of problems lol )

The misunderstanding is so funny ! xD
And it is pretty fast ( and good ) how the serial killer thought about DS like a buddy and then he thinks DS is threatening him it was hilarious !! I think in the next episode he will either believe DS is an undercover cop or he will admire him again because perhaps if he sees him with Bo kyung he will thought that DS is more cunning than he thought ( but in fact it's just a sweet guy with bad/good luck ? xD )

In my opinion DS will never kill someone because the first moment of the drama was when he was arrested and they said he comitted 7 murders ( 6 from the diary + one which I think is the rich guy and not the homeless guy because the police thought it was a suicide ).

But I love his psycho's moments *^* Like you said it is really interesting how the thriller and comedy work well together for now !

Yes in my opinion the first half was good when they were awakening others characters and tried to change the story ! It was fun and there were a lot of mystery especially about Haru who was special in my eyes and like you said they played with the cliché at first so it was interesting but what a pity they become the cliché itself...

In the second half all the characters I found enjoyable was less enjoyable or odious to watch ( except Lee Do Hwa <3 ) and the story didn't go on and it was boring and cheesy but at least I was hoping to have answers at the end but finally not really ! And the character I was curious about aren't even in the end ( where is LEE DO HWA for example ??? ) and okay they explained it a little with the " all characters aren't draw all the time " but it's just a pity not even have a little moment at the end with some characters... I was really awaiting it like maybe in his next character he doesn' t play the violin anymore but hates it without knowing why for example ?

And what a shame I find that a lot of characters are not aware of themselves. The drama was not bad but I feel like something in the second half/ at the end was lacking. But a lot of dramas are like that, the start is really good but when comes explanation it's really draggy and finaly it's not clear.

Yes I'm happy to see I'm not the only one to think the drama was kind of stuck up for severals episodes ( who seemed an eternity to me ).

" I also miss the 'mistery unveiling' pace in which it started (I wanted to see more characters becoming self-aware and discovering more about the rules of the world of comics they live in); and the changes in the relationship between Juda, Namju and Dohwa with all of then being self-aware. "

---> I feel you, I was really waiting for that it was kind of sad to see the " main characters " not awakened because we know they don't act because they want to and I was curious too about how the relaltionships between all of them would grow up but now I think it's too late for that so I'm sad... Really there are a lot of drama with potential wasted and it's a shame. And I can't say I hate this drama because frankly the first half was really perfect to me but the second half was just a nighmare (thanks to the love triangle...).

I miss the funny scenes too and it becomes too much dramatic to me, I really prefered when they focus to how to change the story + It's was so smart to use the " cliché " plots on stage and change their meaning in the shadows I think it was one of the thing who made me fall in love with this drama ! Well, we will see how the ending turns out ;(

I think the characters in this drama lost their consistency in the second half but I'm not really surprised because most dramas tend to be like that...
- Dan Oh was strong and funny in the first half but now she cries practically all the time ( I mean in the first half she cried too but it was on " stage " and when she was in the shadows she was so funny for example when she cried on stage and then laugh )

- Haru was the quiet and mysterious guy and frankly I prefered him like this because he seemed more special but now I don't know he is not the same...

- Squid fairy seemed to be the wise one and I was waiting for him to change his mind and helps DO and H but no he is just stuck up from the beginning and he becomes kind of annoying to me. And I have a lot of example like when the " false " Haru picked up his book ( 1. Why he is taking the book everywhere with him if he doesn't want others to see it ? And why he is so obvious with the " You take it in purpose " against Haru ?? Dude do you really want to hide the truth or what ? He seemed like a kid sometimes who want to hide something from his parents lol )

- I will not talk about BK but it's obvious he lost his charm too.

Anyway I'm talking a lot but I will end on this : Do Hwa is the only one who seem consistent to me and I'm really fond of his character, the only one who is not a disappointment.

Crossed fingers for the happy ending and yes the trio in the guest was really good ( and one of the rare dramas who had a good end in my opinion ! ).

Yes ! I don't understand why the drama turns out like that ??? In my opinion the first half was the best and then it concentrated too much on the love triangle and I just can't understand this choice... A lot of dramas focus on that and lost their good points.

Why suddenly they stop to change the future and the storyboard dissapeared ? It was so interesting, I really thought it was really good because I thought they would continue to change things and wake up other characters ! Like you know when at first the main character is alone but little by little others characters joins hands and things get better. And I found it super original the way it was done when they should act like they characters on stage but in the shadows they are not really like their characters, I was thinking maybe that would been interesting if Nam Joo and Joo da " wake up " and was in fact not in love at all, was bothering by their roles or even was in fact all the contrary of their characters ( for example Joo da would been a bad girl and so on lol )

And I just can't understand the characters sometimes. Two characters who pissed me off : Baek Kyung obviously because he was oen my favorite character and I was hoping he turns out to be a sweet man in fact and not a jerk like his character .
The second character who pissed me off is Dried Squid Fairy, I liked him at first too but finally he is just useless and even more he just leads good peopels in bad choices... Seriously was he not the one who reveals to Dan Oh she was in a book ? But afterward he doesn't want her to know more ?? (What ??? ) and tried badly to hide the truth and do illogicals actions ? ( why didn't he burnt the book before ? At first I thought the bood couldn't be destroyed and reappeared each time but it was not the case for the previous story... and the guy didn't see they was some papers from the book still left ?? ) And all along he tried to scare DH and Haru but it's not well done because his characters is too much obvious and I think he should have given a concret warning and not just repeat the same thing over and over and stay unclear.

AND WHAT HE DOESN'T REVEAL ANYTHING TO DH AND HARU BUT IN FRONT OF BK HE SAID YOU CAN STOLE A CHARACTER'S AWARENESS !? Dude are you serious ??? It was obvious BJ would kill DH in the shadows because he wants her to stay in her character and loves him you dumbass -_-

If the ending it's just " we will meet in another story " I will be really bitter about this drama... I will try to think about good thing like Lee Do Hwa, Haru and Dan Oh's moments ( they are so sweet together why they have less moments all together ??? I really love when in a drama a trio works together like in the guest )

I bet on the guy who was watching from afar BJ and the Lawyer at the beginning of episode 3. I think the story took another way, I don't know what happened... I am still feeling like BJ was not supposed to be the main culprit ( I was really feeling at first like he was covering someone ) or perhaps someone knew from the start he was the murderer and wanted to avenge the victims but that feel really rushed. Or perhaps I miss something but I really want to know who was it at episode 3 ?? I don't think it was Gi Hoon.

I think it's weird because at first they had " Father - Daughter " vibes and now they are hits of romance and I still don't understand what it is so great about the romance ? I think the Father/daughter relationship would have been more meaningful and even more if his son would end up with her later for example.
But I won't lie, they have chemistry it's just that I can't picture them together because of their past ( I was glad she found a real father so it's weird to me to think about him differently, not because of the age gap but because it was sell at first like Father/Daughter relationship).
Anyway TVN's dramas are rarely in my taste, often I found the characters quite bland and it's true the cinematography is beautiful but the story is just in a loop... But well it's my opinion and there are surely a lot who like it so enjoy, they are indeed good actors !

I feel like they tried to make an " happy " ending where it wasn't the case... I really fast-forwaded the last episodes because it was not believable and boring. I liked BJ character until he becomes just a brat who is screaming all the time ! I was really hoping something more : BJ covering someone else or SH beeing his half-sister and he killed her without knowing it. But no, he is just a psychopath AGAIN.
And what is worst is how it ended, BJ's death was a mistake because the drama was about how bad guys must face court and pays their crimes in prison. + I just felt sorru for BJ because I know he was a psychopath but he was not from his birth, I think he became one because of his surrounding and that's just sad. I don't think he was " perfect " by choices, it's just that his surrounding kept telling him to do so and he started to go crazy because of it and saw others like mistakes. The drama would have been great in my opinion if the second half would have focused on the Lawyer facing the parents, every one of them, and show how their kids are due to them. And that would have been great too if it was the parents who change and help their kids to face their punishments- Oh wait they just have a change of heart in the last episode and are acting like they are angels all of sudden so it's okay I guess * sigh*

For example I just don't feel some moments like when NYR look at Tae Rae's photo all sad and suddently she smiled and go with the other girl...So what ? She was sorry a few minutes and that will repair all she have done ? Now she merits to be happy ??

I missed something too about the lawyer because he wasn't punished at all (you know he was undercover, hasn't the right to teach and all...) but there were hits previously that he would and I thought he wouldn't mind at the end in order to arrest the killer so in my opinion the story was mess up (or something happened behing the scene ? ). And in the second half it was a lot focused on BJ, too much in my opinion we barely saw the others students...

In short I’m disappointed. And annoyed.

Can you please tell me if there are littles cases or just one big case ?

The first half was good but the second half was just a mess to me and a last twist was missing... I was really hoping BJ was covering someone and played the evil one to mess with the viewers so it was a big dissapointment ; the actors were great but the story was lacking something. And not everything was explain but I'm not sure because I didn't watch all the last episodes ( for example who was the guy who watched BJ and the Lawyer from afar ? Or it would be nice to see the night when the " Butler" died to see what happened exatly )

To me BJ was fishy from the start and it was obvious he played a big part of the crime but again I was hoping something more than just " he is a psychopath and killed her to cover himself ". Or at least he should have regret his actions later; for example what if SH was his half sister ? I saw a lot of comments talking about that but finally no it was just another girl who sold her body.

Yeah the drama could have used a lot more of potential : why the first half we saw a lot the kids but the second half Lee Gi Hoon and Na Ye Ri appeared just sometimes and they reactions seemed too much rushed in my opinion ( Ye Ri who felt bad about Taera ? Let me laught. Lee Gi Hoon who wants to avenge SH ? Dude you tried to rape her, ok you are obsess with her so I find your reaction are not so out of character but still...).

And the last episode................ Wasn't the drama focused on the " Punishing bad guys in court at all cost" ? Why BJ died like that ?? I was not at peace because revenge wins after all of this.

Thanks for all your answers ! So I watched it and yeah it's more on the general creepy feeling like you said, it was not really " scary "(I mean not all the time) ; there is just a strong uneasy feeling in my opinion.

Thanks !!

Can someone please tell me if the drama has the " scariest things who appear and make you jump of horror " or has the " it's is scary and stressful but without making you jump of horror " ? ( spoiler : I don't like the first one... Double spoiler : no matter what the answer is I will try it because OCN, great actors, great characters, great story and surely great musics ? )

I didn't think about it so it is really a murder !

Great I want to know now T_T

edit : I hope we will see where is the last missing person : the captain ! And I want so much that Goo Chan Sung is also someone from Jang Man Wol's past but that she forgot him ! I remember in the episode with the blind woman she said " After a soul wander too much longer, its memory can change " so I wonder if Man Wol's memory is trustworthy ? I know she is not really dead but still...

I want to see present Yeon Woo talking to Man Wol Too ! I hope the story will not repeat with his death... I want a loooooooooooot of things to happen !
