only 10 episodes in Netflix - it says 16 on MyDramaList's episode guide
Either it's a mistake, or the final 6 episodes will be released later, or the show was re-edited into a 10-episode format for Netflix. I'm leaning towards it being a mistake, but who knows.
Not generally, but in Korea I guess it works because such rumors (dating/marriage) are for some absurd reason seen as "scandalous", so people are always "embroiled" in them.
I ended up liking this drama quite a lot. But I didn't really feel any romantic chemistry between Hong Jo and Sol Ah. I honestly enjoyed the chemistry Hong Jo had with Jae Seon more. Lovely, supportive bromance. He also seemed to understand Hong Jo much more than Sol Ah ever did.
It's a high-scale production with many filming locations, including in Europe. They're filming in Korea again now, and probably want enough time in post-production, too. Worth the wait.
Official synopsis: "Countryside detective Junmo goes undercover within the rising Gangnam Union, unaware of the complex relationship between his wife and the gang's boss." - Sounds JUICY. 👀
I love how Kang-min became an ally to Sol-hee and Do-ha and that they didn't drag out the usual boring pining SML stuff, but rather focused on him as a detective and a friend. Also Seo Ji-hoon is a babe.
god i hate how they make gays the villains so often. gotta say, jo deuk chan is the most interesting character…
I have my KBLs for fluffy gay characters, so I'll take my interesting gay villains. I find the offensive OTT portrayals of screeching gay characters like in Strong Woman Do Bong-soon worse tbh
Another week with two great episodes, can't wait for the final two! It seems the explosion may have put a stop to Sol-hee's abilities, and her potential freedom from the burden of hearing lies could be a nice parallel to Do-ha finally being free from the murder allegations. Excited to see how it ends!
If the culprit really is Deuk-chan I wonder about his motive. Did Jae-chan hurt/kill her first with his brother just helping burying the body? Or does Deuk-chan have a crush/obsession with Do-ha? The replacement ring throws me off, because I don't see why Jae-chan would want a couple ring Do-ha picked out for them, even if he liked her. But I also don't think Deuk-chan would be stupid enough to put down the number for the wine bar when purchasing it. Also how did the ring end up buried with Eom-ji? Was it planted there to frame Do-ha or left there by accident? I need answers!
Am I the only one that wants him to be guilty? I think it would be so cool if for once, they do the least expected…
I just don't think it would work narratively, unless he is not aware that he is the culprit. It's clear from his actions now that he does not think he killed her. But how do you bury someone in the woods without knowing you did it? You can't pull off a twist like that if it's not supported by the preceding narrative/character actions. But I'm excited to see where it goes!
I really like the easygoing chemistry between the two leads. Two lost souls who found each other at the right time and quickly found comfort in each other, deciding to trust one another and to actually communicate (which is rare in dramas). Refreshingly low-key and without needless misunderstandings and contrived drama between them. This continues to be a comfort show for me. This week I loved how the people who had gotten to know Do-ha and to whom he had been kind, decided to trust him.
Also I'm rooting for Syaon and her "bodyguard", they'd be cute together. And I'm hoping that once he's cleared his name, Do-ha will start his own company and give Ethan and his brother a shot.
