what happened to the juror whose daughter was murdered before her wedding? why didn't yoonjae lock him up with…
He had a stroke and is still in the hospital, if he's alive at all, AFAIK. The drama isn't too careful with details anyway - all the rest of the jurors are there abducted alone, but JEK is with her mother, because why? And if parents and children still unpunished should be there, why isn't SungHoon OR SungJoon with their mother? For consistency's sake. I mean, YoonJae is supposed to be a master planner. Nobody wondered where sushi guy is, if all jurors are involved in some way, and he's not present....
Ep 14, dammit, it's not a twist, and it's precisely who I thought would be... Oh well.
Since SungHoon was the oldest, it makes sense he'd be the one to start the plotting. But it's moving exactly how I thought it would be, it's just that SJ is not 13, and SH is the actual main plotter (even if he ends up not killing many if anyone).
The sushi guy is also involved, so he'll be an accomplice at least, a part killer at most. And then there's the judge (the father)'s role in this whole mess. Is he really just a good guy caught in a net of wrong choices and wrong people? I guess SH might have something against him too. I mean, if they want to add some more twist to it in the end.
Overall... The heart-to-heart discussion between SJ and SH really missed the mark, I kept disengaging throughout it. There are still too many plot points that are lacking, and scenes that are either missing or underwhelming. Also where the heck is all police procedure?! The guy who was a hostage is back at work the next day, the son of an abductee is investigating the crime, an escapee is also abducted, there are bombs all over the place but nobody explains where the heck did he get explosives or whatever he's using, so many things are just... slapdash.
I had better expectations of it. At least SH is still interesting, even if he's not successful in the end.
DV: Obi Wan never told you about your father... LS: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!... DV: I... am your father!! LS:.... NOOOOO!
I was almost ROFL at that moment in the drama - because seriously, it wasn't needed. At all. But oh well.
As I thought, this will turn into a twist yet again, and while the endgame will probably not be what I had guessed, there's still the Mouse twist to it so not really a huge surprise.
why wei wu xian changed so much after he came from burial mounds. he used to be sweet and cute but after that…
He didn't change too much, though, considering he just had to survive for three months in a place with no food or clean water, hunted by fierce corpses and spirits, under the influence of the Yin Iron, while forging the Tiger Amulet, LOL, and learning to control spirits (and fierce corpses and ghouls etc) with Chen Qing (the flute) :D
Also, he now has a SECRET that he's going to take to his grave (literally), and is in no mood to be flirty and sunny all the time any more. He can't let it slip, because it's the most important thing to him at this moment, not even to pacify LWJ. And it's time for taking revenge for Lotus Pier, too. He's not in the mood for being his breezy self.
But the impy and mischievous WWX will come back, don't worry. These two can't stay upset with each other for any length of time, and there'll be some pretty nice moments for a bit. I mean, it's true love right? :D
All of Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's novels (including The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation / Mo Dao Zu Shi that The Untamed drama is based on) are being published in English, officially, by Seven Seas Entertainment. From MDZS, three volumes (the 4th is upcoming but it looks like it's not the last) are already released. They include art, glossaries, and obviously a professional translation. I think BookDepository offers free shipping throughout most of the world, and they often have sales.
That being said, the book (which is HUGE, that's why there are so many volumes) has been fan-TLed before the official TL came through, and while the TLers removed it, the internet is large and never forgets...
Still, SSE does a great work by publishing a lot of danmei - they're even doing 2ha, which will be quite something, LOL - so if you mean to support the authors (MXTX, MeatBun and all the other danmei writers), it's nice to go with the official TL :)
If I were Tsumugi, I'd be looking for some sharp blade or at least some blunt objects right now...
They're basically being self-sacrificing idiots, both of them, and they're both saying (or have said in the past) they're "leaving her for her own good". Neither Sou or Minato ASKED her first what does SHE want. They're both useless.
And I have to say it - I hate the self-sacrificing push-your-lover-to-another trope SO MUCH.
Aww, Mr Koga, letting it all out, LOL. He's cute. Also, that JSL teacher who can hear sure is becoming annoying - I don't know what his backstory is still, but he's pretty high-browing it over the hearing impaired people who never heard, I mean, what's the difference? They can communicate, what's SO different they can't understand a hearing person? The HECK!
Not bad, not bad. At least they're not going with the vanilla old detective/rookie dynamics. At this point, my…
New boss seems to be one of those stickler to the rule of law guys. He's playing the snitch detective, IMHO.
I loved the reveal that KTR is actually the one who did the framing, and not the dead friend. I mean, if we're going to invest in a noir, let it be a noir. If he framed that one, who else did he frame? And why would he feel so much guilt for his daughter's kidnapping that he'd divorce yet still raise his ex-family with all his money? And he even bought her a house - does that suggest the drug thing might have given him some cash on the side?
At least he's not an angel, and I like that.
What I did NOT like was how they're all smoking on-screen. I know, they're detectives and under stress, and people still smoke a whole lot, and this is Disney+ so the audience is more Western so more used to it... But it always comes as a surprise whenever smoking or heavy drinking (anything other than the regular soju scenes), or doing drugs appears in a SK drama. Also, it's become a pretty pricy hobby, so if KTR is giving all his money to his family, he should be completely broke, LOL.
I just remembered - who's that woman who offered to buy him the coat? Is she the ex-wife? I couldn't tell, I wasn't paying attention to her in the first episode for the half-minute she was on.
Not bad, not bad. At least they're not going with the vanilla old detective/rookie dynamics.
At this point, my main suspects are 1. the guy living in his locker, LOL (Yang KiTae), or 2. his daughter's new husband (because why not?! He's looking way too happy to be married, and there's no parents grumbling about their divorcee-raised DIL. Given this is SK, that is a must) :D
The very best thing about these two eps is the 119 / 112 closing theme. I want that in a way longer version.
Oh and HI OH DAEHWAN!! (He's the crazy Alpha Team leader from Adamas. Him being such a psycho was one of the highlights of that drama for me.) I hope he comes back and not just doing a guest appearance.
The whole story (as in the novel) is told in this one season (it's not by season actually, it's complete).But…
IMHO in this particular case it works better to have a soft romance. It's very faithful to the novel, including some of the romantic scenes, it's just that WWX is oblivious to it all until the final few chapters. He's way more honest (because that's who WWX is) in the extras to the novels, but throughout most of the story he's incredibly frustrating, LOL. So even if there WERE 18+ scenes and cdramas were allowed to film them, there wouldn't be much to film until almost the very end.
LWJ's jealousy and frustration with the hothead come through particularly well anyway, LOL.
There are other BL cdramas were the flirting is way more direct - like Word of Honor, where Wen Ke Xing flirts outrageously out in the open - but they're few and far between and I have very low hopes of Immortality (for example) 1. airing this year, or 2. having ANY risky scenes (because of the political situation in China and the crackdown on anything remotely fun for the Chinese people). If there were ever a BL cdrama FULL of risky scenes... Immortality should be it. But it won't, most probably, if they allow it to air at all. *sigh*
But I have to admit, I'm a fan of subtle romance anyway, so I really appreciate how TU manages to convey the romance through glances and longing and small jealous fits. And LWJ getting drunk - on purpose!! (just wait for it) - so that he can be a bit more unrestrained.
I don't know how far you've come through the drama, yet, but never fear - there will be romance. Just not the PDA kind. Other than kisses and the like, all the other romantic elements are there. Enjoy :)
are there any similar dramas to this?..the one's in reccomended aren't my types but reset is just too good
Depending on your taste... Tunnel and Signal come on a similar note, though they're not time loop but time travel/communication. Both are detective stories. Signal will break your heart if you're not careful.
And if you want to try something a bit like it, but in animation - then Makoto Shinkai's "your name." could fit.
Wu Bai's Last Dance and Pachelbel's Canon in D (from Reset) gave me PTSD LOL.
So it ended. I see there's an extra scene, I'll have to look for it, just in case it's what I hope it is. Other than that - I started this for the loop, stayed for Greg Hsu's smile and HYX (the character's) sunny personality. If I were to liken it to anything else I've watched, it's more similar to Makoto Shinkai's "your name." (the movie) than Reset, from where I got the rec.

PS Also, mark the question as a spoiler, please, it's a hidden twist and there are people who haven't watched the drama yet.

But SDOOD is good on its own, too.
But the novel has extras, and lots of them :D
