It feels like Nam Wanseong was there just for the sake of being a tool for SDJ redemption. Let me say first that Park Sung Woong did his best with a character limited by the writing. NWS was a too cartoonish. His actions were often exaggerated and didn't make sense with unnecessary stunts. So, his downfall didn't feel as satisfying as it should be for me. Especially it's just because a silly mistake (Idk if it's an intentional irony from the writer). They made him out to be this this big bad villain but he went bankrupt too easy. Yes, he got backstabbed and outmoved, but he didn't have backup plans at all? Like, at all? While the real villain, the corrupt prosecutors and politicians are getting away or getting light punishment (Jeon Miran was investigated and only got suspended). Park Chanhyuk was set free when he's literally a drug dealer. But, despite everything, I think it's a fun watch. And at least Kim-pro got promoted haha. She's so cool, if only she got more screen time.
So what really happened to Real Kang Bitna? Tha last we saw her, she was running away in Hell and after that no more explanation...or am I missing something?
The background stories of the elders has been good so far, but I don't really like Oksook's. I find it a bit ridiculous, is first love really that important? Important enough to cancel your daughter's wedding? It's in the past, and it's not like they're secret siblings or something. Like, she's ready to sacrifice her daughter's happiness for something that happened decades ago. I get it, it might get awkward. But I think it's easy enough to avoid in-laws. And at her big age, I'd expected Oksook to be mature enough to handle it. The drama made the ex has dementia so Oksook finally, reluctantly, give the marriage her blessing. But what if the ex is of sound mind? What if he remember her and their past? She should've realized herself that that chapter of her life is already over, and it's time for her daughter to have her happiness. I'd appreciate this story line more if Oksook and her ex have an adult conversation about letting go the past and live for the happiness of their children.
I really really hope his next drama don't have wacky schedule again and release on accessible OTT. Enough with The Killing Vote and Dongjae the Good or the Bastard.
Finally Nam Wanseong make a move! At the first few episodes I felt he was too "docile" compared to the way his character was promoted. Begging for favors and just hanging his head, taking it when Seo Dongjae being condescending. But now the drama begin to show just ruthless he can be and make him more interesting villain. Only 4 episodes left, I hope the drama won't disappoint me.
The mother should've brought Habin to psychologist/psychiatrist, especially when she suspected her daughter is not like other kids since young age, added to the trauma caused by the little brother's death.
Maybe not many people share my opinion but I really like the "slowness" of this drama. So far, I've never skipped any scene, even it's just the camera focused on some objects or the characters just staring at each other... I don't know, I kinda find it relaxing haha
As for Jang Taesu's character who's supposed to be this ace profiler but seemed suck while handling this case, I think it's pretty understandable because it's involved his daughter, so he couldn't stay objective. On one side he wanted to help her but on the other side he already distrust her because of their past. So, he fumbled everything. Let's hope he'll get his bearing back in the future episodes.
Also shout-out to the duo profiler, Yeojin and Daehong. Really like their dynamics!

Season 2 please...
What's left is the execution and whether the drama will kill NWS or not.
