Ep 8-9 started to have better flow in plot execution, which for me is quite late. In the early eps of the drama, even up to ep 7, the plot and scriptwriting are poorly executed, with all characters thrown in just to fill the plot. It's not because of the number of characters, but because of the way the director wrote, directed, and edited the scenes. Its like the director is confused how to put the story together & what he/she really wants to really deliver.
But the drama has a good storyline which is becoming more interesting (now ep 13). I'm super invested in all the stories that don't involve the ML, so that means this has a good premise for plots.
From the trailer, surprisingly the ML actor kinda fits this costume drama more. Watched him in 12 letters and he was a good actor but has this youth vibes (most of his dramas) but this one, he kinda exceeds that.
the best airing kdrama for a while. This kept me on edge and im excited for the new eps every week! No filler plots, even sides charcater serves something in their screentime. Overall, a super good law drama for a while
At ep 20. SML has soo much dynamic as a charcater good or bad. Maybe the actor is actually senior good actor (man is above all these actors in this drama) & his charcater serves soo much purpose to the plot and ML developement.
Plus, his charcater has chemistry with FL, (put aside him being bad). FL is starightforward, smart & kinda match with SML, like it or not. They kinda compatibe as friend or even lover tbh. Im not shipping them cause 2nd lead sydrome but more on how they have compatibility if they really in a love plot.
ML is hard to love (x like), very closed, introvert, rarely show emotions. Usually we found this in female lead characters & old korean melodrama.So the FL being not overthinking, straigtforward, mature makes easier for her to love him.The breaking point for FL when ML not willing to give all of himself, living soo much in the past so what ver she trully loves.
She also very professional with SML, her actions is understandble and yeah, their personality actually matches as lovers lol. Hate it or love, 2ML add dynamic in the drama and not just a typical CDRAMA filler. Weirdly enough, I love the underlying way of who is the real 'you' on both ML and SML.
Rarely i regret watching thriller drama when its incomplete and this is one of it. Anyone who plaaned to watch this, better wait for more eps cause the plot is soooo damn engagingggg
Illogical in some part but such fun drama. But you can see the difference with Common law & Civil system where the judge involves in the investigation too. In common law, you cant even talk to a judge outside a court without official reasons, how they always have private path used in court that prevent them to talk/interect with common people/lawyers etc. The judge life is basically a secret from the public, you cant just 'talk' so casually about the case they're handling.
Ji sung is one of male actor who has been consistent in his acting and always pick good projects that fits his vision as an actor. Anyway what a GREAT drama, its keeping me on edge!
Will love the story more if they did reconciled only as friedns but the FL kept the distance as friends, creating boundaries & the ml is the one who chasing her. Them to only be together after the case wrapped up, the FL really distinguish her feeling as 'a fan' and her loving him as a real person while the ML ack it.
Usually 2nd ML in modern cdrama kinda just to fill in the filler plot ie love triangle nothing impressive but this, the 2nd male lead aura is SUPER GOOD Its not just the face, but his overall acting and chemistry with FL & he has plots to the whole story. Kinda have kdrama 2nd lead execution. Really2 love 2nd ML acting
& he's for sure the villain but he 100% attracted to her when he first met her in the lift. Anyway the whole drama is good cause everything is just smooth & not overreacting characters?
I love the FL is just 'normal'? Like no overdramatic reaction, not overthinking. Maybe due not soo much monolog and POV of the FL & she just kinda go with flow type?
Everyone, please watch this. Seriously, the main lead's story and the premise of the demon realm conflicts are super good. Fast pace, the side characters are all interesting & not exaggerated, unlike many demon characters in this genre sometime kinda annoying characters, the plots kept me wanting more, good costumes and cinematography.
Wow, this is good. The premise is interesting and had me going. All characters are also interesting, even the side demons. The cinematography is nice too.
Man, where have you been? With this level of talent, HY deserves well-matured projects. He reminds me a lot of Korean actors & gives a CMovie actors vibe. His eyes, body gesture etc screams good actor.
Never thought the starts of wattpad plots really leads to a good overall story. Tbh, the leads are carrying the story esp HY. If they could execute a better story of ML than the wattpadish element bad boy, car racing, boxing (a better approach) , this drama can be taken more seriously. I hope the directing/scripwriting of his background story was taken more seriously cause he got a lot of depth esp with his family, why he was like that but the director seems to focused on his racing car etc. His charcater is actually complex & we can weep more if the director explore his complexity. Even the FL character with the father wasnt eloborated much when it can really expended her story better esp why she has soo much loves to give (an element of top modern cdrama always have). The editing kinda choppy too.
Some scenes are cringy but He Yu saved like LOTS cause he was soo immersed with his character esp omg-his eyes. But this drama is seriosuly good & it have a special place in my heart. Unforgettable one.
