Don't know what I think about this. I agree with all the comments about the FF'ing feeling, In Gang died, Granny died, suddenly Bi Ra is in the picture, the CEO of Longstar is in prison, Jae O explains his connection to A Jin (in case we didn't know, but extremely sad nevertheless), Jun Seo gives away a kidney to his heinous mother, also really depressing. A Jin marries, etc all the action is at the speed of light, and relationship arcs are abandoned. I can't decide if this show is just gratuitous violence or it's actually good. It's compelling and awful but set in a hyper stylised, glossy glamorous world with gorgeously beautiful actors who are doing an amazing job, which to some degree disguises the horror of the story. Initially the story was tightly spun so you could understand the evolution of A Jin, now it's in free fall, with anything goes, any kind of horror, betrayal, misery.
One thing I find interesting is that, despite the awful, glacial behaviour of A Jin, she has explained herself very clearly," cannot believe or get close because she's always betrayed." Also whenever she confronts another character who accuses her, she comes up with pretty good justifications as to why they are hypocrites who have behaved in an equally appalling way.
No...I get him . Its not that easy for a man with a child especially when he is indebted to his mother. Pursuing…
Exactly, just bad timing. He's a lovely guy, a good friend and a dedicated father. Hope he has a great relationship with 2FL, and the main couple as well, which of course will happen lol Meanwhile ML also has an arranged marriage to add to the mix.
I hardly ever think about a drama I'm watching, but this one I am reflecting on during the day. I think the whole idea of lack of empathy, on the entire spectrum from mild sociopathy to extreme psychopathy is fascinating, and I enjoyed watching the FL out of Genie make a wish for that reason. But this story, is so intense, what these characters have gone through is horrific, kudos to the whole production team for eliciting that level of performance out of these talented actors. I think Kim Young Dae is totally incredible in this drama, he is the master of the subtle facial expression that says so much. I totally get why he has laid down his existence to protect A Jin, it's a really complex frenzied mix of reasons, very toxic in part, enmeshed, desperate, and often he fails but he can't stop himself. Kim You Jung is so fantastic, with that innocent, exquisite face so flawlessly covering the cesspool of her real thoughts. After watching what she has gone through I also totally get why she has evolved like she has. The abused becomes the abuser, and worse. The entire cast is amazing, I love psychological thrillers, this show is great imo!
also ahjin had every right to become a “villain”after being treated like that by her parents. Villains aren’t…
Well there is some evidence to say Psychopathy can be physiological, grey matter/white matter in the brain and other brain anomalies, ie in fact they are 'born' not made with this disorder.
Nothing to complain here except not releasing "STRANGERS WITH FLOWERS ON A CROWDED TRAIN" OST.The ShoePark…
that song is fantastic, I looked it up, can't find it anywhere, might have been created specifically for that scene, or maybe it will be officially released at some point.
Just watched ep. 5 and it's pissing me off. I dont't mind the popular ever occuring fake marriage main plot but..…
You're right of course, I was thinking the same, the whole thing is ridiculous, not to mention the FL even lowering herself to speak to her trash ex, who firstly dumped her without a word, and then his family totally abused her mother. However for some reason despite all the above rubbish plot and lazy writing I'm still enjoying it, I think it's because the leads are so charismatic, or for some reason I can't pinpoint lol
It's simple math. 2 first episodes were good, 5 were not good at all. A total waste of actors talents and plot…
Yes I've been FF'ing since ep 2, I checked out MDL to see if anyone agreed with how silly this is getting, what a shame. And I hate to say in Jin Young is gorgeous but a bit flat as this character. And his best friend is irritating. The baddies are ridiculous caricatures, the plot is weird.
