I've always thought she is a great actress in everything I've seen her in, but she's blowing my already high expectations away in this

Extremely unlikely. The first time she met him, his daughter was already born. It's just a very weird coincidence they threw in to make her feel even more of a connection to him

I think she was the original whistleblower about the construction company. That's what made her isolated at work and caused MiRae to step and and verify her claims

The entire industry films winter scenes in the summer and vice versa (as needed). Just because Christmas was in the episode doesn't mean it was filmed in December.

The doctor and CEO have WAY TOO MUCH influence apparently. It's actually getting a little ridiculous to me atp. Sure, Jo & Jo is their company, so they can throw Tae Yang into Sa Gye's spot. I think it would also be the fandom, and not just the Crown band members that are mad about getting a nepo add realistically, but it's literally just 2 Sa Gye and Crown members that are against him joining. It got extremely ridiculous how he's now the first Asian brand ambassador of a foreign company when he hasn't even really done anything yet.

Like, I'm sure there would be some real influence to get his name out there and get some hype for him joining, but apparently those 2 can just tell the public to love him, and all of a sudden he's at like BTS level of fame while only putting out 1 single that didn't even do as well as the cover that 2 Sa Gye did lol. They even were able to remove a lot of Sa Gye's fame, albeit it was partly understandable due to the video of him punching the CEO. But seriously, it's the same as if JYP was like "Hey we are dropping JiHyo, nobody should care about her anymore. We are replacing her with X, everybody treat her like you did JiHyo" and everyone just being like "OKAY!" lol. So unrealistic

At least they give the story an ending though. They usually have a scene to make it "open ended" so they have the opportunity for a 2nd season, but the story is actually complete and no 2nd season doesn't detract from the drama imo.

Like, in this one, if they didn't have the scene with her coming to the crime scene with a new puzzle piece there was nothing that showed another season was possible and the story they wanted to tell was fully over. Another example is Moving; they left it to where it showed the kids taking the reins and opened itself to a season 2, but a season 2 isn't necessary to finish the story

Half way through ep 6 and seriously debating dropping this. It started off a fun college romance drama and then has focusing more and more on the Jo & Jo plot, which imo isn't done very well.

Also, it's amazing Jo & Jo is still in business with how incompetent, blatant and corrupt it's executives are. Tae Yang taking Sa Gye's place in the band with ZERO formal training like he's a music prodigy or something when Sa Gye is a proven better musician. Does the company literally not have any trainees? Do they not have contacts in the industry to find a known up and comer that already has a following to take the face of the group position in their cash cow band?

And Tae Yang acting like he gaf about Bom, but can't even realize that "his" new song is literally the song she wears in a necklace daily and listens to all the time? I refuse to believe he's never heard her play it or seen her working on the song with how close they were/are. IMHO, he doesn't care about Bom at all beyond "I knew her first and I don't like Sa Gye."

The clock on MDL is when it airs on TV in SK. Almost everything takes 2 hours to hit the OTTs. The episode has to be completely over on TV before they can list it, and there's usually some final tweaks needed to subs and the like

By a lot, I mean like 80% of 3 episodes straight

Aren't stars like an award given out annually or something? I don't think it's possible to just immediately jump up to 3 stars like that. Honestly, they could have even done the publicity about JungJae and the competition just off the sole fact that they won a highly coveted star when not even trying to, while Motto and La Lacel(?) did months of prep and stealing for the chance

They spent A LOT of time on YYS and his story that was really unneccessary and I think that is the bulk of the complaints. IMHO, it's not an award winning show and I would never rewatch it, but it overall was a decent drama and I'm not mad at all that I watched it. I wouldn't randomly recommend it to anyone, but if you like KHN, GMS or KSR I'd say you would like it more than not

Actual MiJi is the blode (short) one in ep 1, then the long haired one from then on.
Actual MiRae is long haired in ep 1, then short haired (black) from then on.

Age gaps don't normally bother me, but when it's a love triangle and the not endgame ML is 11 years older than FL, while the endgame ML is only 2 years younger than the FL, it makes it really obvious and weird. Both MLs next to each other makes it really unbelievable that "they are the same age"

I also find it really weird how Hye Won keeps calling Yu Jun "Oppa" when she's so much older than him. If they were a little closer in age, then fine, but he's obviously still a teenager and she looks late 20s

To me, it was because the killer was also the closest thing she had to a friend. She's crying because she not only can't help/stop her, but also because as observent as she is she didn't notice her friend diving off a cliff.

As for her parents, I took it the other way. It sounded to me that her parents were anti development and owned 10 lots in the original market, not One City. She was questioning if her parents died because of One City as well, not that they were in on it.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like MDL is finally back to realistic ratings on airing shows. Everything I'm watching now, the ratings seem about right, or at least decently close to where I would rate them. Over the past 6 months or so, everything airing was getting review bombed on here for some reason

I'll actually be mad if they kept the memory card. They both are pretty intelligent people and keeping that evidence for 10 years would just be a pointless risk.

The patient story was about a kid in an orphanage and there's a good chance the story is about him. He also mentioned it in the car in ep 9, don't remember the context though

A lot of people are sus right now, but my money is on the male psychiatrist. There's too many things that are coincidental with him compared to everyone else.

-Connected to the orphanage
-Was the speaker at a conference in Jeju during the time of the murder there
-His patient story
-Connection with Ena, which sounds like it was actually planned
-He paints, and the puzzle pieces were drawn by the killer
-Could be wrong, but it seems he is getting more distant with Ena as the investigation continues

No, she shouldn't give him the time of day. I'm more against her tanking her own career when she lives in a different country than that incident happened in and it's not like she lost confidence in her skills when she knows she isn't the one who messed up to begin with

It absolutely can, can also cause paralysis. It's a very dangerous dish to make.

But she was working in Japan then moved to the outskirts in SK. I just feel like there isn't enough to her past story to justify her career choice. It's just badly written, which would be fine if they didn't spend so much screentime on it. Very shallow backstory to put the FL where she is today
