You're not the only one :)) I also love the dynamics between the members of the police team, they're one of the greatest charms of this series I dare say (for me) 😁

I know what you mean. I'm rather pleased with this season so far, especially in regards to the team's and the leads' dynamics, but I do need to admit the cases (or the way they are shown) have been rather weak compared to the first season. And you're right, they do start strong but they somehow end up underwhelming. Let's hope for stronger cases for the second half of the season 🤞🤞

Also, Isoo's "이팀장! Big news!" 😂😂

@nobodyknows Yes, they do have consequences. Our actions always have moral consequences. And then there are legal consequences of our actions, although morality covers, or at least should cover, more "terrain" of actions than the law.

The woman did a morally bad thing blackmailing the two men. And I am no expert of law, especially of South Korean law, but I'm convinced blackmail has legal repercussions there as well. But was her death the punishment she should have received? Legally, it depends on the local law. I now checked that in South Korea death penalty is practically abolished but formally still legal. Even if it is so 1) I don't think death penalty is nor should be considered a punishment for blackmail; it's not proportional to the crime, and 2) even if it was, the blackmailer's case should still be a legal process of investigation, prosecution and trial. Not murder.

And what about moral law? Just as I believe blackmail is morally wrong, I also believe ending someone else's life is morally wrong. And those actions do not have the same weight. We are talking about murder here. Are we seriously having that discussion?? No wonder our civilization is dying if this is the state of moral reflection nowadays...

And as for morals, all of our actions have consequences. The woman's blackmail had moral consequences. But what about the actions of the two men? The CEO cheated on his wife. And I believe this fact wouldn't be so easily forgotten if it turned out he had an affair with a woman instead of a man. His actions, too, have moral consequences.
And his lover's actions, namely murder, too have consequences.
And his wife's actions, namely hitting and screaming at another person, Oh Minyeong, also have moral consequences.

What does it all tell us? All the actions I mentioned had moral consequences, specific for each. But the supposed (!) affair of the CEO didn't justify his wife hitting his employee. The CEO's wife bad temper or whatever else didn't justify his cheating. His cheating with Yujin didn't justify Oh Minyeong's blackmail (adding, she didn't care a bit about morals but was in it for financial gain). And Oh Minyeong's blackmail didn't justify Yujin's murder. One evil does not justify nor neutralise another.

Do you see this chain? It only gets worse. If we are to believe that we have some moral high ground to decide whether someone has a right to live or not, we are on the highway to becoming like Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment. Joo Hyera was right for reminding Jeon Yujin of the weight of his crime, when he was sitting there weeping over his mother's fate after his crime; it shows that he has some decency at least for those he loves but he needed to be reminded he killed a person. Yes, it wasn't a premeditated murder, but he still ended someone else's life, not by accident.

It is a foundation of our civilization that we do not repay evil for evil (Romans 12:17). There should be legal consequences of actions, but they should be bound by truth and justice. And there are always moral consequences, but we are never to avenge ourselves, but rather to leave it to the wrath (and mercy) of God (Romans 12:19).

To anyone who got this far in the comment, thank you for your time and consideration, and I encourage you to read also: Romans 12:9, 14, 16-21. God bless.

Okay, I see. Thanks for elaborating. I hope it was about ABH and JEC themselves, as I would sure want some romance between Isoo and Hyera 😭😭
Yeah, I think it's wise not to get your hopes up. I'd like to do the same, but unfortunately I've become too invested in them already 😭😂✨ But I think I'll be happy whatever the direction the screenwriter, the director, and the cast took with this season. I'm enjoying the crumbs they are giving us, that's enough for me haha My trust in the cast and crew is paying off so far 😁

wow.

But it turned out that wasn't what happened. The only person who could count as an accomplice was his mother. And I guess she still should be held liable, but it wasn't shown

@nobodyknows Are you endorsing her murder?

During what interview was that? And are you sure they were talking about the characters and not the actors themselves?

Yes, I agree with everything you said

haha trueee

Okay, I was confused 😅

At least Isoo has his found family in his Gangha Police department, his Team 1, Team 2 and Chief Park, all for whom Isoo is very dear

And yeah, I'm really worried about Jin Isoo, especially in regard to ahjussi, it's making me so anxious. Especially, because Mr. Choi didn't tell Isoo the truth. Of course, I know it was because he didn't want Isoo to worry, but it's a route that gets people nowhere. I'm very much afraid that Isoo is gonna know about this too late, and it will be another unexpected blow to him... :((( Well, I hope ahjussi will go to surgery and will tell Isoo before it's too late...

Yeah, I totally get it haha
I was gonna joke before that the creators didn't leave only Isoo traumatised after s1 😂😅 But I didn't wanna come off as sarcastic or disregarding, as I totally understand the sentiment. I noticed about myself that I need to make an effort not to become paranoid about the world and people around me while watching a crime drama but it's really hard 😭😂😅

Also, you worded it so perfectly ✨

Oh, Yujin didn't call him after all? And Yujin's mother was in the hallway by coincidence?
There was many false versions of the crime disguised as the real version of events, so that one when Yujin called the CEO threw me off

Yeah, I know what you mean. However, I read it very differently — I took it as though the doctor genuinely wanted to help him. He probably thought that Jin Isoo could easily get medication through another specialist but he had no guarantee that another doctor would want and be able to help Jin Isoo (and with others forms of treatment in the long run, too), so he gave in. Most importantly, he reminded Isoo that he's there if he ever feels like talking things through. So basically, I interpreted as a minimizing-damage route, so to speak

That's a good question 😅 Edit: okay, I guess I was confused by all the probable version of the events that were shown in the episode

At least, I hope so 😅
