JLM

Ep 1 was good! FL has the most amazing amounts of mishaps, and needs to be rescued endlessly. She takes about 20 minutes to respond to a question and then says "deh!", SML and SFL are tedious, and hardly credible, the usual eye popping stare when they first kiss,
long long takes on ML, just about every 10 minutes, slow mo, a trope a minute, if you like that sort of thing, enjoy!!!!

sadly, true!

I think that's the paradox and complexity of SK culture, mores and politics. I would bet that getting away with a justified homicide, as a plot would not sit well with knetz and probably as a result the drama would be less successful.

Love on a Turquoise Land is pretty good!

Sometimes I think we don 't realise how lucky we are to have this site, where people from all over the world can share opinions on what they love, are interested in, from all kind of differing levels, ie cinephiles, people involved in the film business to newbies. I know that very few people amongst my dear friends have a clue about what I watch, as over the years I have become more conversant with K, J and C dramas, the cultures, the pros and cons. But here is a place where people can discuss in the finest detail, what fascinates them or otherwise. When the discussion is as you described it, it's a great experience.

As for this drama, I'm finding it fantastic, the ML is wonderful, very nuanced performance. Some parts have been better than others, ie for me the beginning 10 eps, and now it's improving again around ep 20. I also love Yuer as a FL, she's just amazing and charismatic, as well as her dad. There have been some parts that have blown me away. I'm surprised I have been so engrossed because I lost some interest in historical Cdramas with the flowing robes and ridiculous makeup, so this has been an action packed, thriller, beautifully shot, great ride.

Well that's an understatement when it comes to SK!!! Cancel culture, knetz prejudice and anonymous witch-hunt harassment, journalists in search of a juicy story (regardless of consequences), political/police corruption. It's kind of a lame observation, considering the drama he just directed.

Well there's also You and Everything Else, also the lead in Dear X!

lol

Tbh it was not the best hairdo I've ever seen either, it was just to hit home big time and in your face, that she was a Boheme artist.

Funny

In terms of 'teaming up' what about the lame last shot of ME and her sister at YS wedding....as if they were destined to be intertwined in some way!!

So hilarious....just happen to have some handy private videos...with the scissors etc, on deck!

Absolutely !!!

Yes if only JDY role had been more sophisticated and intelligent. Why in the beginning the red herring stupid grinning reactions and psycho comments about "CSI" when she just would normally be hysterically in grief about her husband, the red herring "affair" as a cause of her murdering him. Soooo many false leads, and stupid moves. The prime motive for getting out of prison was her daughter, yet she was so sloppy about caring for her IRL. How many times was that kid left alone, unprotected. I wrote further down, when she went rampaging around to search for the killer, with the long flowing hair under a cap to be incognito, so silly. Didn't cut it. So many ridiculous things and plot holes, so agree with you about the husbands murderers, the wife was a comical caricature in the end with the head leaning sideways and that stupid smirk. OMG. Please lol. Agree also about working with the EVIL family, what a silly piece of writing, and then sitting around in the lounge room just like a psychopath, Such a waste of talent, I love both the leads actresses., they're soooo good you have to respectfully see it to the end lol.

YS keeps running around desperately trying to find the real killer. We find out the background story of Moe Eun, who has been on a revenge frenzy to destroy the boy who violated her sister. We discover that YS's husband the painter, was threatening JYI the public defender financially, so his wife is the one to have killed him. In the end YS and ME team up, and fight JYI, who is trying to defend his wife. ME ends up dying, YS stands trial and is somewhat acquitted. Baek Don Hung the prosecutor kind of admits he was wrong, nothing really happens to him. JYI's wife is potentially accused of murder.

Geez, I'm on ep 8, whenever Yun su is running around trying to go incognito, as in the hospital someone should tell her the white coat/cap alone is not going to work, try a blond wig, or at least tie up the long black tresses. Also, I feel really badly for her little daughter who is left, I don't know, alone or with someone we don't understand, while intrepid YS is running about frantically trying to catch the decoy. This drama is getting silly. However kudos to both FL's for outstanding performances.

well said lol

Exactly, someone should try reverse roles and publish tabloid journalists past exploits!

Thanks for that, I just watched the ending and couldn't really make sense out of it! Otherwise loved it!

This show is absolutely fantastic. Great controlled acting, great plot, suspense, love it!
