I wonder if this is a time loop, and they’re basically the same person or if they’re just doppelgangers? Could Jun Oh have lived in the past as Do Ha and is now back in present day? But Do Ha’s spirit was waiting around to enter Jun Oh’s body, and their personalities are so different. I'm so curious to find out more about this story…
ML was a bad person as well. IDK what you're talking about.
Eui Jeong is not a bad person. She was not trying to betray Jun Mo’s trust either. The whole reason she joined the investigation was to help Jun Mo because her past with Gi Cheul made it easier to gain his trust, and eventually convince to stop committing more crimes. Nobody glorified Gi Cheul’s criminal actions. They both felt empathy for him, but their ultimate goal was still to stop him.
He chose that path and he isn't tragic soul and a criminal with morally complex character. How much glorifying…
That’s exactly what makes it tragic. He made the evil choices and only realized what he should’ve done when he thought he was getting a second chance, it wasn’t really a second chance. By then it was already too late. There was still potential oforgood in him, that he never pursued. That is the tragic part. Even when Jun Mo tried to give him a second chance to start over, he still came back. I don’t think the writing glorified his actions at all, because his ending was still written to show he made the wrong choices at many turns, leading to his death.
Gi Cheul is a tragic soul. Us viewers, like Eui Jeong and Jun Mo during their investigation, grew to care for him and wish he made better choices. If he had joined the police force instead of gang life, he could have stayed with the love of his life, Eui Jeong and possibly found a true friendship with Jun Mo. But he felt trapped at such a young age. This is why the title is so perfect. All the characters evil choices impacted their lives with tragic consequences. Jun Mo lost himself and became the role he played undercover and his wife in the process, because he was willing to kill a second time for personal gain, even after the investigation was over. Hae Ryun, for her crimes, ended up on the run, and even Eui Jeong, with her more neutral and indirect choices, still had to watch her first love die and lost the husband she knew, because he fundamentally changed on a moral level. Many others ended up dead or in prison. Humanities evil always has consequences, if not on ourselves, then the people around us.
Apparently they were dating long before they got caught. We only just recently found out. I wonder if being exposed publicly affected their relationship, or they grew apart, or imagine if they’re still dating but to quiet the public, announced this, or maybe it really was just a publicity stunt. Who knows. Whatever it is, I’m rooting for both their acting careers.
So far, more focus is on ShangJue and WeiShan's perspectives. Yun WeiShan is as conflicted about ZiYu the way ShangJue is starting to feel about ShangguanQian, just on opposite sides. I'm curious to see more insight into how ShangguanQian sincerely feels about her mission and her personal desires beneath her overconfident appearance and I'm curious to see ZiYu's growth as Sword Yielder.
Dropped this drama at episode 11. I just skimmed so much, and don’t feel the need to complete, but it’s good to know In Hae is Hae Sun. That’s one mystery I was hoping was true.
That was an emotional end to this season. I love the main characters as usual and ended up liking the villain in the last episode. They've always had a great balance with the comedy and main characters teamwork, but I hope S3 Villains can be more compelling and DoGi and GoEun finally end up together.
edit: got it, it looks great!
