Interesting and well-reasoned article! "Vampire Prosecutor" and "Scholar Who Walks the Night" are the only memorable vampire dramas I've watched that had an interesting story and captivating performances, better than many western series I've seen! For me, Charlaine Harris's books and series adaptation of "True Blood", as well as "Moonlight", "Angel" and "Buffy" were way better than Stephenie Meyer's books and movies adaptation of "Twilight"...
Nice article, loved it! I succeeded in converting my mom and my youngest daughter! Now they are both k-drama fans, with their own preferences and fav actors - in fact, my daughter is also a dedicated k-pop fan and just started watching k-dramas and tw-dramas! From time to time, during weekends, we watch some k-dramas with my older daughter and hubby and they enjoy them, but I wouldn't say that I've managed to fully convert them, yet!
Definitely not for everyone! Slow-paced, symbolic, hypnotic and eerie, calm and silent from the outside but volcanic -and not only "burning"- inside, leaving us with more questions than answers to process...
Funny and interesting story and a very good MatcuJun! Loved his deductive ways of finding the truth in every case and his bickering with Sado and Tachibana, but found most of the puns and their characters' eccentricities a bit forced... Definitely watching season 2!
Very thought provoking which is what the writer was going for. A "What would you do?" movie
Exactly! "What would you do?" when faced with community/society's criticism, pressure and inaction and when struggling between family's safety and bystander's empathy... and that ending message, wow!
Very interesting idea, well-fitted choices and beautiful descriptions! Congrats :) I have watched all of them but three, and I totally agree with you on these!
Unless I'm tempted to watch an ongoing drama, I'm a proud binge-watcher like you! I even binge-watch 50 episodes dramas: if I really like them, the number of eps doesn't matter! The reason is, as @real_Mokona wrote, because the mood never brakes and the feelings are more intense. But, in some cases, I also regretted it and asked myself ''Why did I rush to complete it?'' like you :D
It was indeed better than seasons 1 and 2: the cases were more intriguing (except the last one, which was a bit far fetched) and Detective Bae's role was much more interesting and better played than Detective Kang's...
Not the best fantasy drama out there, but not the worst either! A bit repetitive during the second half due to the many flashbacks, many (unnesessary) second characters used as fillers and a very (annoyingly) naive fairy... Seo Ji Hoon was the best of all (character and acting) and his interaction with his two children were the best parts of the drama!
Interesting story with strong female characters, not any unnecessary love triangles, solid performances, some draggy parts towards the end and a fashion-icon dog who stole the spotlights!
He is the only reason I don't want to watch this drama. In all of his drama only thing he do is shout and being…
Give this drama a try: it is one of the most unique, intriguing, out of the box dramas (concerning graphics, cinematography and plot) I've seen in a very long while! I admit I am biased - beautifully matured Hyun Bin was the most important factor for me to start this drama, but here, apart from him being a tiny bit arrogant in the beginning, I find PSH shouting and crying more!

Lee Sung Min and Kim Sang Ho never disappoint!

Onodera Akira was a ray of sunshine!

Especially your comment about Gwi (Lee Soo Hyuk) cracked me up!
