I am now 10 episodes in and it is way too campy/soap opera for me. I will stick through it for Xu Kai but that's it.

“Can sit through it with Xu Kai’s face”

This is all of us hahahaha. Give us 100 episodes with him it doesn’t matter we will watch

It didn’t bother me in Douluo at all!!!

I've watched probably 50 Cdrama's in my life and this has never been an issue before so it has nothing to do with the language or needing earphones. The music in the first 3 episodes especially is not mixed correctly by the sound engineer and is too loud while the dialogue is too low in comparison. The music is also used too much during all scenes which doesn't allow the viewer to really get into the plot & characters. It is the fault of the sound engineer & the director. Has nothing to do with understanding Chinese or wearing earphones.

It's really weird right??!!! They have gorgeous actors, gorgeous sets, gorgeous costumes and horrible editing. They really tried to much to go Dance of Sky Empire/Once Upon a time in Linjing with Xu Kai and the music the first 3 episodes. I was on my phone doing laundry and barely felt like paying attention. Episode 4 seems to be starting a little better. But the direction & editing are NOT on par with Yanxii so far at all. Let's pray it improves!

Yup!! Exactly! The music is so constant and overbearing that you can't really feel any natural connection to the plot because the musical score is trying too hard to set the tone. Don't get me wrong, the music is beautiful and I would love it as a soundtrack / OST to listen to but right now it is overpowering the story development & the actors. I reeeeeally hope that it will not be this way in later episodes!!!

I want to drown whoever the composer and the sound mixer for this is drama because the constant never ending background music is way too loud and it overpowers the dialogue. It's annoying af. If it never lets up I don't think I'll make it through.

Oh let me count the tears ........... <3

I am so thankful you left this comment and shared this story. Many of us have had similar experiences with our loved ones and feel the same way you do watching this show. *hugs*

What's the name of the Turkish drama?

I truly cannot believe Jin Goo was not nominated. Total travesty. Granted, Jin Goo could practically be nominated for every drama he stars in because he is that insanely good but if ever there was a time for him to win, Beyond Evil is it.

He wasn't pursuing the LYY case. He was originally pursuing the missing prostitute/informants case and he linked Dong Shik to that case believing Dong Shik was a serial killer so he was pursuing Dong Shik not LYY per se. He believed Dong Shik killed the sister and all of the other missing women.

This drama far exceeded my expectations! So many modern Cdrama's are too light & fluffy (I love those too but!) recent Modern Cdrama's often lack really well written & acted mature plot lines and this one has almost NO drag and keeps you interested, guessing and then even when you know they still make the cat & mouse intriguing and smart. It also has a very good balance of romance, drama, crime etc for those that do not like a ton of romance. It is romantic but this is a crime, mystery drama first & foremost so don't let the romance put you off. This also has VERY strong female characters. Some of my favorite female characters ever actually. They are multi-dimensional, well flushed out & thoughtful. I wish I could find more Cdrama's like this. It's not perfect and I can nitpick here & there but as a whole it is reeeeally well done. The recommendations above are lacking (I only see 4) so if anyone has rec's please reply!

I just went back and re-read through the first half of the manwha and the show is doing things a little out of order but in the manwha it’s not revealed as early as I remembered it. I thought it was like in the first 10 chapters but it comes after that so actually the show is being pretty faithful & im sure they will explore it because it’s such a pivotal part of the plot and grandpas motivation for sticking through things. You should totally read the manwha when you get time!

In the manwha I could swear grandpa's dementia/memory/mental state situation is revealed early on so I'm surprised that we are 4 episodes in and it hasn't been brought up. I'm wondering if they will incorporate it or they are leaving it out and not making it an integral part of the story? The show is so beautifully done but I am hoping we see much more of a Chae-Rok & Grandpa and their bond / development which makes the story so special.

He looks so much like Yoon Shi Yoon to me (in a good way) so handsome!

He needs way more MAIN lead roles!!!!

Not anti depressant, it's just aspirin/anti inflammatory he's poppin for his knee & back pain

It's not anti-depressants it's aspirin for his knee pain.

This is one of theeeeeeee most beautiful WEBTOONS I've ever read and the 1st two episodes have been perfect. It's everything I hoped it would be. Get your tissues ready every time you watch an episode because this one is a beautiful journey between two people who had no idea they would impact each other's lives in such meaningful ways. It's one of the most heartwarming stories ever and Song Kang is the most perfect fit.
