It can also mean a general lack of moral restraint, license that goes beyond the bounds. I am referring to anything that is licentious.

I agree with you, but it's perhaps easier to nip this in the bud before it becomes as widespread as alcohol acceptance. Can you imagine trying to outlaw soju in Korea? There'd be widespread riots! It is hypocritical, but that doesn't mean that they should just throw up their hands and allow drugs to flow freely into the country; that would be foolish and very, very dangerous. Just look at the US.

I agree with you. Alcohol is very destructive, only partly because it is so accepted. Pot, for some reason, however, is more "attractive" to people, particularly young people, because it's been falsely touted as being "safer" than alcohol, or whatever. For whatever reason, more people of all ages smoke pot at all hours of the day, whereas is much more difficult for young people to get their hands on alcohol (I'm not sure how that is; where there's a will, there's a way), and most drinking seems to be done at night. I don't drink or smoke (or imbibe in anything else), as I am convinced that these substances are destructive on a variety of levels.

I did mean it.

If only the USA were this strict. In my state where marijuana is legal, the same people (my neighbors) smoke marijuana 10 times a day. People are doing it on playgrounds, in their front yards, while driving. As if that weren't enough, they just legalized mushrooms and other "harder" drugs. Traffic accidents, domestic violence, and homelessness in my small city alone have skyrocketed as a result. Licentiousness is NOT a virtue and leads to FAR more problems than it allegedly solves.

Something i love about Korean dramas is their incorporation of support characters; they do such a good job of creating unlikely "families" composed of endearing characters. Sometimes, they're more enjoyable to watch than the leads.

There're behind-the-scenes features???

Silly, but not too silly. Serious, but not too serious. I'm loving it!

Save Me 2 is much better, if I do say so myself.

Disney can't even do it right in a foreign country.

I may be premature, but, judging by her performance in...the last thing she was in, I will probably be skipping this, in spite of "Rain's" presence.

Is it just me or did he have work done on his face between Connection and My Sweet Mobster? His eyes, cheeks, and mouth are subtly different in MSM.

Sadly, this drama is simply not my cup of tea. In my humble opinion, it is not written or presented as well as it could be. I generally enjoy dramas that are atypically complex, but I don't believe that complexity is the case here; it's confusing because it's trying to be "unique", not because the plot is necessarily complex. 5 episodes in and it simply hasn't connected with me.

I am still in the middle of watching episode one, however...am I supposed to know what is going on? I feel as though I were dropped in the middle of something, the plot and characters of which I am expected to recognize. Will things become clearer, or is the confusion due to poor writing (again!)?

That's actually why I'm watching it!

I found myself attracted to this drama for pretty much one reason: actors who traditionally play despicable and/or absolutely disgusting villains cast as good guys (at least three, so far; the chief, the captain, and one of the TCI investigators have all exclusively been nasty bad guys). I have found that, in general, whenever this happens, the drama itself is fairly good.

I don't like romantic dramas, but I don't like this, either. I just don't think it's written well.
