The dynamics shifted this episode. K seemingly got the support of Director Yong and her men while Inspector Koo went to the thrash (literally lol). I still don't get why K willingly surrender herself to Yong Suk tho, why can't she just 'investigate' and work her from afar with Keon Uk ??

Do I see Heo Seong Tae's flirting with Je Hui in this ep and preview? Well why not, Je Hui could wean him off his mom and usurp Yong Suk :p

This episode feels like an intermission after last two intense ones, next episode the Inspector Koo-K fight resumes I hope.

We can love a well-written character however evil doesn't mean we agree with their evil actions IRL. K is a refreshing psychopath in K-Drama. Most of K-Drama of crime thrillers genre I've watched, the psychopaths tend to be males with repressed sexual fethises, shown in their repetitive modus operandi and targets. BUT K is outwardly cute 'innocent' girl with tragic childhood trauma, super creative with her ways of killings, has her own set of rules/triggers, that shadow thing's super interesting, I can list on. So yeah, we love K.

Is this real issue tho? The same can be said with Hye Joon. She's casted as 'gay' chara in Lily Fever (web drama, bi, chaotic GLs lol) and Matrimonial Chaos (support role, bi). Even as K, it's implied too (her obsession with Yeong Joo in earlier episodes). But Hye Joon also played many great non-gay charas; Just Between Lovers and Netflix's Kingdom etc. tbh, I'd love a full-blown GL mainstream drama with Hye Joon as MC when SK has progressed bit more to allow its possibility.

Rather than being straight up villain, K is more like an antihero (her triggers, motives and rules etc). With Hye Joon's performance it's amazing to watch. Our MCs, the titular Inspector Koo, Je Hui and their team on the other hand, which are supposed to be on the 'right' side, directly and indirectly work for the real bad shady organization led by Director Yong. Their actions so far work as foils for K's. So interesting. All episodes will keep you on the edge of your seat lol. This drama has killer soundtracks to fit each scene and mood and awesome songs (I particularly love Hajin's song, I'd assume it's K's theme song). Not to mention LGBTQ+ representation in a korean drama. This is hands down my favorite 2021 kdrama!!

8 episodes in and I'm actually rooting for K lol. Hye Joon's just amazing.

All caught up. I thought this would be just a rip-off of last year's Secret Royal Inspector, both dramas are similar with their on point comedy but I think this 2021 drama is more interesting, we have more major support charas (should I say support chara couples? lol love the budding ships :3) and the villains are more interesting, bit of supernatural elements added in too lol. The main couple's chemistry is not bad, love the refreshing dynamics, 10 episodes to go, so more rooms for developments. Taecyeon and Hye Yoon nim fighting!!
P.S. I love Hye Yoon's natural voice, it's lovely.
P.P.S. I'm glad Lee Sang Hee here plays major support role not just one arc chara, total fan of hers.

Kim Da Mi's back in dramaland after Itaewon and Choi Wooshik's in main role. Sign me up!

hear hear comrade lol didn't expect to read comment with revolutionay view on mdl!

I think learning the basics of hangul (korean alphabets) would help a bit, even tho we don't know the words but we can try making sense of how they pronounce the words and this can build up vocabulary and comprehension. I've watched so many dramas before learning it but now that I've learnt some hangul basics, I understand more and more (without sub) and I can try refer to a dictionary (google translate mostly) of new words that I can catch listening. Korean hangul is one of the easiest writing system to learn, trust me.

Very entertaining and emotional episode (the reunion part). I bawled my eyes out, glad DD's stepmom and grandma didn't drag revealing his long-lost biological sister.
Se Chan's our MVP, the trickster out-tricking the scheming step-grandma and Se Ra lol. Their bad acting trying to frame DD and acting like crazy woman, not bad of a comedy I guess.
and DD's drunk confession so cute and funny lol. I love this drama pacing.

I'm in for Ji Hyun Woo

Coming back after a while. This drama was such a great ride minus the ending. Anyway, if anyone looking to watch, I'd say, watch it. It's a decent romcom with great comedy scenes (I mean, really really enjoyable comedy scenes through ep1-ep15), worth the time. If not for the main leads, watch this for Ui-Joo and Sang Soon, in retrospect they're this drama's true leads imo.
Ok, I need another currently airing romcom to fill this void? Any recommendations?? The upcoming Hometown Cha-cha-cha (Shin Min ah & Kim Seon Ho) looks promising.

SM-GE ship's my fav but 2nd fav ship GR-SW also has sailed, officially. Finally they quit all the nonsenses and recognise each others feelings lol

Nam Ji Hyun's chara with the accent, didn't expect to find her so enjoyable to watch lol

I've watched this like 3 times sigh and will definitely watch again. Need more drama like this or I'll come back rewatch again sigh.

Agree, when Ja Sung broke it in episode 12, it was comedic and brief and well, some chara development added in but when Young Won broke it in that last episode it was just plain cruel and nonsensical, not just breaking up but ghosting Ja Sung and everyone she knows in the drama for 3 YEARS. How unnecessarily cruel! Complete break off from the light comedic tone of the rest of the drama. So bitter, audience that followed and waited for this drama episodes every week deserves better ending :c
p.s. the only consolation for me is the happy ending for Joo and Soon couple

I love this drama so much but yeah need to admit, last episode's ending act where things went all the way down to complete nonsense for our main couple. Well at least, our 2nd main couple got the real happy ending with complete resolution and conclusion , so happy for Joo and Soon couple! Why oh why ending had to be like this?? Watching the whole drama since 1st episode aired, I haven't laughed this much, this hard, since Mr. Queen, the comedy is real solid, so enjoyed it!! Could be the best romcom of the year! :c

Well, YJS deserves at least that, the way he breaks it off with Yong Won in the first place :p
This push and pull, let them continue figuring it out and resolve it next episode while we enjoy Yeo Ui Joo and Sang Soon ship development. Also need more bromance of our CEO and Chief Editor please.

You meant Yeo Ui-Joo and Nam Sang Soon? The duo carry at least half the bulk of comedy in this drama and I enjoy their interactions and story very much. Romance of the ML and FL flows on nicely imho, not being 'dragged' on.

and FL is not that, erm 'stupid' as described in most synopsis, she has an understandable 'situation', well even her chara is written as this gullible superstitious woman, it's still add up and meshed well as good romcom elements.
