I'm holding on the though she's left for the end, with her own proper arc. It's was cool to acknowledge she's shoved aside, but we want more of her. Justice for Sa Rang!

It does. Thank you :)

it did, both episodes are out raw, but viki doesn't have it at all, and dramafever has a page but nothing uploaded so far (+regional restrictions). And without them, there are not subs.

/ODK is said to sub it (according to soompi forum)

I'm not sure kisses are even a thing in school dramas. I wouldn't be surprised if they teased the audience with almost kisses till the end. Or is it only a case when one or both of the main cast is still underage?

So far, how much medical in medical it has (compared to Faith, because I see it mentioned above)? Does this tag only serve as a backdrop or do they focus heavily (and graphically) on the medical cases? Does it have hospital politics? Or a scene of two teams betting on a patient's life to prove who's cooler? In other words - is it more clash of characters/eras and fish out of water hijinks, or just a typical medical drama spiced up with time travel for no good reason?

it looks so good, I hope it gets subbed soon on the wave of Save Me hype. And is that the sharp-cheekboned villain from Voice? Win-win.
/some sources list it as a 2015 movie, filmed from early 2015 onwards and premiering in Oct that year at Busan Festival. I guess it might have troubles with theatrical distribution or just went straight for DVD in the end. So rating it in 2016 wasn't that stupid afterall :P

Not sure which 11 you mean, but I agree the show is generally heavy on voice-over and verbal explanations by third parties. Not a fan of those either, but I got used to it by now and it definitely stays. What saves it for me is that the show can be subtle when it makes an effort to not rely on those tricks. It can depict very much with stares and gestures alone, either leaving the audience uncertain what main characters are actually feeling or making it obvious without words, depending on the spot in the plot.

I'm impressed by this show, I really am, but after episodes 5-6 I'm starting to wonder can it pull a 16 episodes format, because there's only so far a mood building and emotional distress overload can take us. People being idiots for the sake of maintaining status quo can become tiring really fast and those two episodes were full of 'if onlys'. If only Sang Mi grabbed on the weakest link, the policewoman who was hesitating instead of the man. If only she stayed low, raised no suspicion leading to nailing her door and escaped quietly at night (but in his current state, I'd rather have a nailed door between me and her father). If only Sang Hwan wasn't a bloody idiot and didn't approach her when she was surrounded by her captors. And so on and on. We established a few things - people are generally oblivious and easily manipulated although the policewoman is a possible hope, Sang Mi still has a will to live, Sang Hwan feels guilty enough to help no matter what, Dong Cheol has new friends that can provide raw power. So I'm not as much complaining on this development as fear that 'if only' may turn into a formula. How many times can we watch her almost saving herself/getting saved? Some plot progress would be very much of use after all that intro, but we have a binary situation: captured/saved, so there's not much space to work within until we get to the second part, only making her situation even worse.
What's the endgame? Dismantling the cult and all its connection in the town? Or just liberating Sang Mi? Maybe it's my lack of empathy talking, but at this point I'm having trouble to care about other victims of the cult, parents included. They're just zombies.

so did Kang Ha Neul make his cameo or not?

1. Arghh, why not spare a second for that big cart passing you? But amidst another of those little speeches on birdcages and whatnot getting kidnapped by Song In doesn't sound like such a bad idea anymore.
2. I'm having troubles to choose which Rin is the best Rin: angry Rin, sibling goals Rin or dazzled Rin.

All three of them are equally important (Won - Rin - San).
If you're asking who gets the girl, we don't know yet for sure. In the book it's Rin, but they might have changed it to Won for the drama. I hope they haven't because 2nd-leading Won opens up a space for more interesting character arc, if he wins nothing substantially changes between him and Rin.

It's way too good to find it randomly. Why am I only hearing about it now? It's quirky, intriguing and wraps itself within 4 hours. It exceeds typical harem formula posing a few deeper questions. It had me guessing, suspecting everyone and still fooled me several times. I'm not very sure how to feel about the last episode, but overall it was very enjoyable.

A ghost appears briefly, but it's 99% a figment of a troubled, drugged mind. The drama stands pretty firm on 'religion is BS preying on human weakness and misery' viewpoint.

Woah, it's so good once you pass the cliches. I'm glad I gave it a second shot. I expected some OTT misplaced crime mystery, but it's a perfect amount of guesswork so far. They're using prefabricate types as a starting point and taking it in a very interesting place. I'm sold!
/lol, did they just referenced The Wailing in ep 3?

Oh, I see. That's the problem I have with cdramas, frankly. Despite huge money pumped into making it they usually end up looking off.

Black Cap applies to segeuks too. For some reason assassins and similar need to advertise their identity with black clothes and black hat fully covering their faces even at noon. And it magically works! Not a single person will pass them a strange look when everything about them screams suspicious.

And yet 'Wear The Brightest, Craziest Hat You Can Find When Tailing Someone' thrives. Idk what's worse.

Besides - if it was indeed 16 episodes long, there would be less time to introduce the psychokiller the way he was introduced, as one of other cases, leaving the doubt he's the one.

I'm so glad I pushed myself to finish the last quarter.
Would it be better as a 16 episode drama, like I Remember You? Probably yes, but 1. it was always planned as 20 episodes, so the pacing as slow it may be is steady, the plot develops as planned, still having a twist (with an inner twist) in its sleeve and there's a space for a long, calming closure, 2. I wouldn't trade a more focused show for all the company meetings hijinks this one has. The overarching plot with the killings and past story connecting main pair's fathers felt pretextual at some point, only there to highten the stakes, but it grew back on me. The strength of this drama doesn't lie in another psychokiller story (although the actor playing him has a great presence and the writter excels in making sympathetic yet chilling to the bone villains), but in an enseble of an endearing characters. In that sense I wish it was even slice-of-lifier and some of them making up should have happened like 10 episodes earlier, because watching those people interacting in a friendlier, but still reluctant, snarky way was so much fun and I'll never grew tired of it! Not a single character annoyed me in the end. People complain about cliches, but so many typical connections were subverted and given a fresh twist.

Reasons to watch:
- to redeem Choi Tae Joon after Missing 9
- people may say it's predictable now, but when it was airing, there were plenty of wild theories every week and not much of it proved right. When the story becomes a bit more predictable towards the end, I take it more as a payoff than a drop in quality (can you even call it a predictability? isn't that a point to solve things out in a rewarding way, so they wouldn't feel out of the blue?).
- apparently pairing two bitchy second female leads results in something beautiful. Na Ji Hae is such a show stealer. If only the two of them and the heroine became friends sooner, their rapport was great!
- no typical 2nd male lead third wheeling on the main pair. No typical 2nd female lead third wheeling either (double that). It felt more like people whom they met on their road and it's more complex and nuanced than usual. We have love triangles, but they are more a thing of a past, casting a shadow on the current situation.
- most of them are like a bunch of broken puppies and they're all allowed to be imperfect.
- the romance makes me all giddy inside (and slightly weepy at some points). Not even the story, because it's full of back and forths with noble idiocy and angsty separation on top, but the chemistry between the leads.
- Prosecutor No is so good with words.
- did I mention company meeting hijinks at least three times? I live for them. They deserve a spin off.

If you're willing to pass some major improbabilities with how the prosecution works, you'll be rewarded with a lot nicer show about trust than comments and reviews paint it.

could you elaborate on execution and realism? I'm trying to decide whether to watch it when it fully airs or just bite the bullet and read the book instead, because over 80 episodes in total is a huge time commitment, so the cinametography better be worth it.. But if it's annoying or distracting I'd rather pass.
