This Cho Tae Seob is way more humane than the comic one. In the comic, he was pure evil, like what he did to his secretary was a lot more sinister.
I can't remember exactly but dude met her while giving speeches at some school where she was a kid and her parents were alive, and he liked that she was smart and spoke to her parents about sponsering her but they declined so he got her parents killed and put her in an orphanage, but sponsered her through college so she was super grateful to him until she found out (which was also much later when she already had been working for him). He basically wanted to own a human being with their parents' consent but when they disagreed he killed them and did it anyways while gaslighting her into thinking that she owed him everything, it was insane.
The evil spirit dude is soo good in acting super creepy. I remember the same guy as the dance teacher in vincenzo, dude is really good at physical acting.
things are going so well that i'm scared of the bad thing that'll happen.
its going smooth because dude basically knows everything and is very well prepared, things mostly make actual sense and it doesn't have so much of the usual korean spice (things going wrong for the sake of it just because there has to be drama)
I love thrillers mixed with comedy but they usually have the comedy in the thrilling parts too, this one is so ccompletely disjointed. I guess it requires more skill to execute well, which this director/writers don't seem to have, similar to horror comedy, it requires more skill.
the way the characters are, they act like they in some light comedy series one sec, then getting straight choked out next sec, then move on as if nothing ever happened and back to light comedy tone, you get whiplash
