Honestly, if cheating was his only crime, he'd be a saint.

Not that big actually (at least based on episode 1, as the tvN version for 2 isn't out yet). The TVING version has some slight nudity (and graphic violence in one shot), and generally just shows more of specific scenes while the tvN version would cut away (or use alternate shots in specific cases). Only a small amount of scenes are affected though, most of it is the same.

While you get the general gist with the tvN version, I think you lose some of the impact (or meaning) that the affected scenes are supposed to have (as those scenes are actually part of the plot).

Watched the first 2 episodes. Yeah, this is gonna be a hard watch, not because it ain't good, but because it's very dark, although that's exactly what makes it work. Anyway: screw the king. He may or may not be a good king, but he's an absolutely horrible person. Totally on the Queen's side, and I think the writing is too, but I'm not sure if history was.

Side note: I prefer the TVING version over the tvN version. I think it gets the point across better in specific scenes, so I'd recommend that, unless you're really bothered by the slight nudity. It's not an easy watch either way though, so if you're easily triggered by certain things, I'd steer clear.

Those last few minutes of episode 4... Talk about ending 2024 on a high note.

As far as severance packages go, this is a pretty attractive one, not gonna lie.

Just a big character from Moving that had a cameo. The main character of Kang Full's Timing webtoon also makes a cameo appearance (this character was technically in Moving too, but we never saw his face there). But don't worry about it if you haven't seen Moving yet. It's more so establishing both shows take place in the same universe, and some potential trades for future stuff. It doesn't really affect the main plot of either Moving or Light Shop.

So the show just created a cliffhanger and then magically resolved it off-screen? So, this is either the laziest writing imaginable, or he merely thinks he resolved the case.

I mean, we know basically nothing about the ghost, or about why she's doing what she's doing. It's kind of a random plot that's never properly explained. Like, that storyline literally ended with the ghost saying "I have a secret". That screams "cliffhanger". Unless they just magically resolved that cliffhanger off-screen?

I mean, her ending before the "pending case" part of the episode felt like it was a good ending for her. It was open & uncertain, but it had perhaps a glimmer of hope, and it felt like a fitting ending.

But then in the "pending case" part of the episode the ghost suddenly shows up, turning her original ending into something that feels like a cliffhanger instead. It's weird, because I don't see a reason why that ghost had to be there. It just feels like a weird ending honestly.

All right, but what about Hyun Ju's ending? Am I the only one who felt like that ending felt deliberately open too? The Moving connections are obvious, but is Hyun Ju's ending also meant to be a set-up for something else?

I'd say it matters. I don't need them to literally say the word, because that wouldn't make sense either, but you need to give the audiences something beyond an incredibly vague line. With a side character, you could get away with it, but he's being presented as an important main character, so this is kinda crucial information to flesh out his character. Heck, even Gudeok seemed to know with how quick she was to make the connection to sexual minorities, which seems to imply that we should've figured it out either, even though the show gave us nothing to go on.

I'm not holding my breath, because they basically wrote out Yun Gyeom (and his group) in episode 4, and I'm not expecting to see them back for a while.

Did somebody forget to tell the writer that she has 16 episodes, because why on earth did she cram so much into one episode? I'm sorry, but this episode felt so rushed and all over the place. So much happened and barely any of it got a chance to breathe. It's a shame, because the ideas are incredibly interesting, but this episde just kinda rushed through everything instead of actually exploring any of these ideas. It couldn't even answer who exactly Yun Gyeom was. Is he gay? Trans? Asexual? Intersex? I don't know. All he said was "I cannot lie with women". And "sexual minorities" is a very broad term. It's like the show expects me to somehow know this even though we're not given nearly enough context.

Romance wishers, you won!

There is, just don't expect it to be happy lol.

Okay, so what happened to the kid? I'm pretty sure he was wearing the same clothes as on the night of the accident in his scene with Yeong Ji, so is he also a "ghost"? Is he in a coma? Is he dead? Or did he already recover and he was actually really there?

Honestly, it's a mix of genres. Episodes 1 & 2 go pretty heavy on the horror, while also being mysterious. Episodes 3 & 4 tone down the horror and are more mysterious as you slowly start to figure out what's going on. Episodes 5 & 6 are more of a character-focused tragedy, and are arguably the most emotional & depressing episodes so far.

I mean, obviously they're very different shows. I didn't mean that they were the exact same. It's just that the basic concept of it all is very similar, but instead of facing deadly games, the victims face other things. It's more of a direct reaction I had to episode 4, as you're slowly realizing that they're essentially dealing with the same concept (heck, having the AiB knowledge probably helped me figure out the twist before the end of the episode actually revealed it).

Isn't this just the plot of Alice In Borderland lol?

Let's be honest here, the main reason I suspected U Jin since the beginning is because he was played by Lee Yi Kyung, and that's just the Marry My Husband trauma. I'm not sure I would've figured it out so quickly if he was played by anybody else.
