I won't entertain the thought that some of my fellow people are "worse than animals". It's rhetoric like this that's dangerous and harms people. Of course here they are fictional characters but it's precisely the kind of ideas you talk about that I wish media like this would stop spreading. It's so easy, if someone is "born a psychopath" then you can hate them all you want and not feel any empathy for them.
I don't understand why it's so highly-rated. I wish I could appreciate this drama like everyone seems to do, but I had to tap out after episode 9 or 10. I just strongly disagree with the premise that "psychopathy" is entirely genetic. (I also disagree with the use of the label of "psychopath" and the broader concept of diagnosis but let's not get into all that) All the while I was thinking hey maybe this drama is gonna subvert that old eugenic trope and show us that childhood trauma and environmental factors play a most important part in making someone a "psychopath"! And then the fucking "oooh they transplanted the serial killer's brain in the nice cop's head and now the nice cop is evil" happened and it ruined any chance of me taking this drama seriously. Am I mistaken and does it end up redeeming itself on that end? It sounds difficult to do... It's a shame beacause the production value is top-notch and the plot twists always kept me on my toes.
Season 2 is, as many people said, weaker (ah!) in terms of the emotions it delivers, but god the fight scenes are so good! I get hyped any time I rewatch them! Geum Seongje answer my texts please
Very good drama. I love Suji, her flat affect and low empathy fascinate me and I love that she discovered what it means for her to have friends <3 There were many scenes that were gripping with tension and that made me feel the power of friendship (the paintball scene iykyk)
