You’re just looping at this point lol. A neurosurgeon's entire job is literally staying calm and composed under intense, life-or-death pressure while dealing with unexpected complications. LOL. Chasing kidnappers is chaotic, but high-pressure panic makes people act desperate—it doesn't completely rewrite their baseline IQ or strip them of basic self-preservation.
I'm specifically talking about the scene where he enters the main lobby of the hospital—the entrance where he talks to that lone guard. Don’t play smart when you don’t even know what I'm talking about lol. Also, saying "the police are just useless in dramas" is a massive cop-out that proves my exact point about bad writing. Incompetent cops don't magically disable SK’s automated nationwide surveillance grid, nor does it excuse the "genius" neurosurgeon not realizing he’s a walking GPS the moment he uses his own car during an active pursuit. Even middle schoolers in SK know that sh1t. If a writer has to completely break a country’s real-world infrastructure and turn a genius neurosurgeon brain-dead just to keep him from getting caught in five minutes, it's lazy script-writing.
My expectations aren’t unrealistic; your standards for good writing are just incredibly low if you think that "dramas are just like that".
If you enjoy the show's messiness, just say that, but don't act like you’re a master of logic coz it makes me laugh so hard.
And btw, your reasoning and “logical”premises show that it's useless arguing with you from this point forward. Coz you just won’t get it. Lol

You’re addressing a point I never made. I never expected him to suddenly become Jason Bourne just because he’s a neurosurgeon. My issue is that the writing often sacrifices basic logic for the sake of the plot.
Saying he’s book-smart but lacks street smarts explains some of his poor decisions, but it doesn’t excuse every irrational one. A renowned neurosurgeon is still trained to assess risk, think critically, and make logical decisions under pressure. Those cognitive skills don’t suddenly disappear the moment he leaves the hospital.
As for the hospital, no one said it should be crowded at night. There’s a huge difference between a quiet hospital and one that feels deserted. A hospital can NEVER be EMPTY at night. A spinal surgery hospital still has ICU patients, post-op patients, nurses, on-call doctors, residents, support staff, security, and other night-shift personnel. It doesn’t suddenly become a dimly lit building with only a guard on night duty, as shown in several episodes. Even if certain wings are closed or dimmed at night, it still doesn’t stop functioning after office hours. Yet every time the ML sneaks in, or when the police arrive- it feels as though everyone has gone home. I’ll understand if there’s one more personnel shown walking other than that guard, but nada. That’s what makes the setting(and those PARTICULAR scenes) feel unrealistic. The same goes for the scene where the police officer questions why the female doctor is still at the hospital late at night. Doctors regularly work late or stay on call. Treating her presence there as unusual and suspicious doesn’t really make sense.
And then there’s the car. SK has one of the most technologically advanced surveillance systems in the world. If the police already knew who they were looking for and the car was registered under his name, continuing to drive it while being actively pursued would’ve been incredibly risky. Even if they couldn’t locate him instantly, using his own registered vehicle would significantly increase the chances of being identified through CCTV, traffic cameras, toll roads, automatic license plate recognition (ANPR), or even witnesses. That felt more like plot convenience than a smart or even logical-decision.
I’m aware I’m being nitpicky, though. At the end of the day, I’ll probably keep watching because it’s still entertaining. But I don’t think it’s as tightly written or as logically consistent as some people make it out to be. Lol
This is frustrating and unbearable to watch. The ML is introduced as this renowned, perfectionist neurosurgeon, yet his decision-making is so poorly justified, illogical, and completely out of touch. Neurosurgeons are trained to stay calm and think rationally, especially under pressure, but this guy can barely think straight.
There are way too many plot holes. It’s a hospital, ffs, yet every time it’s nighttime the place is practically empty. It feels more like a 9-to-5 office than an actual hospital.
Then in Episode 6, a police officer asks the female doctor why she’s still at the hospital because it’s already late. Like… what? 💀 I don’t even need to explain why that scene is absurd.
And don’t even get me started on the ML casually driving his own registered car around while being chased by the police. They could’ve traced him almost immediately.
Lastly, this really isn’t the kind of series that only “smart” people can understand, as someone below seems to claim. Lol. It’s a psychological crime thriller, so it’s naturally meant to keep you on your toes, and that’s one thing the series does well. But beyond that, there’s nothing particularly groundbreaking or masterfully written about it.
P1 is really living up to their cunning roles lol. Jimin is so detestable. She’s always bragging in her interviews. That fool really thinks she’s the smartest and most politically savvy person on the show. 🤣 I can’t with her delusions.
It was fine. The way it was depicted and directed felt like reading a novel the whole time—almost like an audiobook. Nothing groundbreaking, but not bad either. It was an okay ride.
The romance and comedy scenes just make you laugh and cringe at the same time. This will be a good ride! I’m glad people are finally simping over an ML that is not a flower boy 😆❤️
These are imperfect and flawed characters. People here seem to be expecting the female lead to have a linear character development arc.
Kim Sung Cheol’s portrayal was the redemption of this drama. From being a brilliant musical actor to becoming a multifaceted screen actor, every role he takes on is incredibly well-executed.
I can understand why he rarely accepts rom-com roles, but I’m looking forward to his upcoming romance drama, Sleeping Doctor.
If Scarecrow drew inspiration from the infamous Hwaseong case, then the real perpetrator wasn’t caught until three decades later—by which time he was already in prison for the murder of his sister-in-law. He eventually confessed, even saying he was surprised he had evaded capture for so long, despite having encountered detectives back then; they had only questioned him about people around him. At the time, he worked as a crane operator.Meanwhile, Yoon—who had polio—was wrongly accused of the serial murders and spent 20 years in prison. If Scarecrow follows a similar timeline, it’s likely that the wrong suspect was Gi-beom’s friend with a limp, while the real perpetrator may have been the other friend who was never interviewed. This could have been due to the investigators’ belief at the time that the killer’s blood type was B, when in fact it was O all along.
The theme of this show is high-level awkwardness 😆, and I love it. The slow-burn interactions between the guests and the chefs feel like a slice-of-life vignette. It’s oddly charming on its own.
why don’t you do it yourself LOL go find a positive comment and svck it up; not here. be grateful I gave a 7 rating to your fave show, that’s not even a bad rating and you’re still complaining. the audacity. ijbol
The ending was fine for me. The series clearly emphasized that whatever happened in the past was bound to happen again, so I don’t get all the whining lol. The main plot was that Do Jun was killed, and even Hyun Woo couldn’t stop it. The only thing he could do was set things right and seek justice for what happened, even if it came late. The ending may differ from the manhwa, but the series was very well executed. Lee Sung Min was the true MVP of the show.
KYK is really built differently. We’re only at Ep 1, but it already proves what an iconic Korean athlete she is—a true volleyball prodigy and genius. Rooting hard for the Wonder Dogs!
I can’t help but roll my eyes with that absurd & cringy ending 🤣 but my heart is happy haha. Time travelling saeguks finally had a happy ending with this one. lol
Behind every successful greedy woman is a strong, idiotic guy who pathetically simps for her, giving her the upper…
It’s nowhere near as exciting or action-packed as Kill Boksoon because they wasted too much time highlighting the push-and-pull love-loathe story of the annoying main characters. Lol.
Behind every successful greedy woman is a strong, idiotic guy who pathetically simps for her, giving her the upper hand. The leads are pathetic and unlikeable, but who cares—it’s supposed to be set in a messed-up world full of messed-up people. Lol.
That scene at 34:00 in the final episode was daunting and sad. That person’s last lines were painful and valid at the same time. You can’t help but feel for that person. That scene was all there is to the missing puzzle.
A neurosurgeon's entire job is literally staying calm and composed under intense, life-or-death pressure while dealing with unexpected complications. LOL.
