Watched the First episode. Pretty good, comedic element and the dialogues, especially the internal monologues of the ML is very good. Let's see, as it's a short series I will take my time with this. At least 2-3 days.

I mean, look how alcohol use is portrayed in K-dramas. Like the way alcohol usage and more importantly "Drunk Behavior" is shown is completely out of touch with reality, and romanticized to unusual length.
But hey, Marijuana is the end of the earth. There was an episode in "Law Cafe" in which an elderly woman just takes weed from a nearby forest (that was naturally grown at first) to help with her severe pain issue. But, man o man, that was considered to be so bad by everyone. But in the same drama there are get together with alcohol among friends and stuff, that's not a problem, as if alcohol was helping them with their health issues or something. Weed on the other hand, is extremely helpful regarding pain management, especially amongst the elderly.
Now when you are high on Weed, and you are driving, you may cause accidents, like alcohol. Although, accidents due to being high on weed is not nearly as frequent as due to alcohol. On top of that, the way alcohol destroys someone's life and their family, weed's negative aspects don't even come close. Not to mention all the creepy and sad sexual assaults and rape and so on. So, if you are demonizing weed, why so much love for alcohol?? It's kinda weird.

Hmm, I am liking it quite much. The first 2 episodes proved one thing for sure, that:
It's a Melodrama.

Love her. I was quite shocked to Shin Ye Eun in a Negative role in The Glory. I've always seen her doing Positive role, mostly bright and lovely personalities.
However, when I saw her in The Glory playing the main villainess in her teenage years, I wanted to get inside my monitor and punch her. THAT's HOW GOOD SHE WAS AS THE RUTHLESS CRUEL VILLAINESS!!
All the best luck to her. Although, I hope Other than in GLORY season 2, she doesn't play any cruel villain in any other drama anytime soon, cause I really don't wanna punch her by going inside my monitor or tv for that matter.

Ma man! Congrats. Hope a happy and blissful life is ahead of both of you.

A nice, heart-wrenching and also heart-warming movie. As someone recommended, Just between lovers (Rain or Shine) is a great recommendation, the movie has similarities with an important part of the drama, or rather I should say the drama has that with the film.
Here's the link of the movie with Eng sub, it's divided into 2 parts:

The pairing is very good. This might be the best pair for JCW after his pair in Healer with Park Min Young. Shin Hye Sun is one of my absolute favorite actress.
Not sure about the Synopsis, difficult to figure out if it's fantasy or some kinda historical drama, or maybe a mix of both.

2nd FL
Park So Dum is the 1st FL.

Kim Won Suk is one of the Absolute Best director in K-drama history. Signal, My Mister, Misaeng and Arthdal Chronicles are some of his best works in the last 8-10 years. In the recent past, it seems that he never misses the mark.
So, really hoping that this trend will continue with this one, with IU and Park Bo Gum in the cast as main leads as well.

True, this trope actually makes the story interesting.
Personally, I don't like cheesy rom-com, however, there are some cheesy rom-com that I like, I mean, I love with all my heart, and when I realize this contradiction, suddenly I feel embarrassed at myself for this duality, this love-hate relationship with cheesy rom-coms that out of embarrassment I feel like hiding under a cave. 😁
Glad to see someone who actually Owns this part of herself with no embarrassment attached.

Really Happy for Kang Ki Young with his recent rise. Break a leg, my man!!

Rest in Peace. At such a young age, it's such a shame.

He looked close to this ripped in Move to Heaven.

Ngl, he kinda does.

This is Song Hye Kyo's best project in the recent past after "Encounter". This type of character really goes well with her vibe and expressions. She was pretty much born for this role it seems.
I hope part 2 rocks far more than part 1, which was in it's own right, great. I just wanna point out the Dialogues and the Monologues in the first part, was, in my opinion, Legendary. This is what you call a revenge melodrama.

I am really looking forward to this. Looks like a cheesy rom-com with enemy to lovers trope, which is, I will admit to my embarrassment, one of my most favorite tropes for Rom-com in K-drama.
I really like Yoo Teo, it is kinda a wonder that he hasn't been casted as the main ML in dramas, but rather as villains mostly. I am really happy to see him as the main ML here.
On top of that, Kim Ji Hoon. Dude is just, freaking beautiful to look at, my lord. I've always liked him. He rocks all type of roles he plays.
Kim Ok Bin, well, she is one of my most favorite Movie actress. I first saw her in the movie Thirst, and damn, it was such a challenging role to play, and she aced it with flying colors. Last I saw her was in Arthdal Chronicles, she was Great in that show, such a perfect villainess!!
I want this one to be good, Period.

Im soo-hyang was great in "Graceful family", Even before this she played good roles in good shows, Five Enough and Iris 2 comes to mind.
However, after GF, all the projects she worked in was just, Abysmal, in terms of both storyline and character development. Hope this one does better, cause right now I feel like she is in a downward slope, which actually is very opposite of what was supposed to happen after GF. She needs to really comeback with this one.

Been waiting for it for about a year, and looks like gotta wait for 5 more months. The fact that the FL is trying to stop her parents from marrying is, however connected or not with the ML's goal to stop the serial killer, is itself quite interesting. Although, it's not really a new trope, it still will likely make the story interesting.
Calling it a suicide doesn't even come close, it's like trying to erase someone's own existence completely from the timeline. Now, that take courage and I suppose an incredible level of despair and nihilism.
Although, parents not officially marrying doesn't necessarily mean the baby won't be born. So, who knows.........

She plays very well negative roles, alongside being an absolute beauty, a very nice combination. She acted very well in "The Glory" as well as in "Jugglers"

To each their own I suppose, I absolutely don't think the ending sort of negates all the achievements upto this point.
However, if you think like that I can understand why, and I have no reason do try doing any rebuttal as this is very Subjective. It's certainly not the best ending I had hoped for, especially with just an 1 episode turnaround, but still it's an ending I am willing to accept as the show was extremely good until this point and the ending theme was relatively satisfactory compared to Kdramas -ending in general, to me at least.
