Haha. Same. This drama has an addictive quality to it. People remain stuck in toxic relationships for years, there is underlying bitter truth to this drama. People can be really selfish in real life. I guess most of us are so used to seeing near-perfect gentlemanly leads in dramas that it might be harder to accept such messy characters for most. I'm intrigued by the story, how much more over the top insane it can get, totally here for it till the end

This is a remake of the American Movie: 17 Again. From your edits, it sounds like it is fairly inline with the topics covered by the source material

Noted, thanks. I like slice of life dramas best, but a good melo can be a nice change of pace every once in a while. Every time I declare a drama genre isn't my cup of tea, I end-up eating my words sooner or later, so I've learned to never say never and am trying to be more open-minded and less biased. If I'm not into a drama, I drop it fairly quickly, so there's no harm in trying.

Thanks so much for the rec. I have watched Uncontrollably Fond already and the screenwriter's most recent work Chocolate. Hadn't realized the writer had a streak for tragedy. Very intrigued by A Love To Kill

I hear you. I'm cutting some slack on account of the sheer madness that has gone down in record time around this chap, the accomplice's identity alone must have been a real whammy for Hyun Soo, I will give him that. But still, I remain low-key mad. A few episodes back, Hyun Soo said to Ji Won that he wants to be a person worthy of her. And he fully realized that he is indeed capable of feelings, and then he cried his eyes out with Eun Ha (my fav scene so far). Those past episodes were such big character development milestones for Hyun Soo... way to throw all that progress away.

The gunshot scene was so utterly unnecessary. At this point, my greatest sympathies are with poor Detective Woo Chul, his team actively hides all kinds of super important truths from him. Cops on the raids he's in charge of get their guns filched from their very hands. What's a guy gotta do to get reliable colleagues.

Very few k-dramas have the guts to pull off an epic tragedy. The last episode is going to be rainbows all around, no doubt. This drama could have taken that rare tragedy route, a heroic tragedy would have been inline with the dark nature of this drama. Despite all my bitching, I loved the drama and I'll probably be giving it a high rating, but it could have been so much more.

Also, on a side note, am I the only one low-key disappointed by Hyun Soo. This drama spent so much time successfully convincing us that Hyun Soo is not the flower of evil, yet at the most critical moment, he would have killed BHS if the cops hadn't shown up in time. Why didn't he even think of how much his daughter needs him. And even if Ji Won had actually been dead, how could he let her down by losing control in this way. I really wish he had dropped the knife off his own accord, that would have been really fitting for his character journey. Like Ji Won said, murder is murder. Intent for murder and acting on that intent is a crime too. Identity theft and evading the police is a crime too. He should have turned BHS over to the police along with voluntarily surrendering himself.... SMH

How on earth was BHS in such a weakened state able to grab a gun from a police officer while surrounded by a truckload of police officers, are you kidding me drama! Pulling lame stunts like this weakens an otherwise excellent drama, writer-nim!

Am I the only one annoyed by the 2nd last episode, regarding police's incompetence and Hyun Soo's actions... continued in spoiler

Hahahahaha. this pretty much covers my every reaction during the 2nd last episode 10/10 would agree... I was literally yelling at the screen similar stuff the whole time

ditto, I would have been devastated otherwise

I saw a mini-trailer for the last episode and he was definitely alive

Thank you! ^^

I hear you, the last episode totally snuck up on me, I realized the mystery of the number of episodes myself while watching the finale. Happy viewing :)

Does anyone know the name of the song that Gyu Jin sang in 2nd last episode?

I enjoyed attending this ted talk :D ... perhaps the original poster hasn't watched season 1 and isn't aware of Hwang Si-mok's condition. If the main lead was any other way than he is in season 2, it would be too strange and out of character for him.

That depends on where you watch it. On iQYi, it has 40 episodes, having 45 minutes length each episode. On other platforms, it has 46 episodes, having 30 to 35 minutes length each episode. Both versions of the drama have exactly same content and same number of scenes, it is only the length of the episodes which varies.
P.S. If you scroll down in the comment section, you will see this question already answered multiple times :)

thanks for the info :)

ah, ok... thanks for the info :)

Wouldn't the statue of limitation have been expired by now on village head's murder, I wonder
