You said it. I'm honestly awed by the writer. Didn't see any of these plot twists coming at all. And I'm so crazy invested in these characters just like everyone else on here. That is indeed the biggest indicator that the writer has done a good job of it. Aren't we all sick and tired of the same ol' stories with same ol' patterns, cliches and obvious mysteries. It doesn't get better than this.

Same. Sung Mo dying or turning out to have set the apartment fire on purpose would be too much to bear. My guess is that Sung Mo accidentally set the fire while fighting off his father, or something like that. and definitely not on purpose. I can't watch this perfect bro-ship crash. Andaaayyyyy.

No, Sung Mo isn't in love with Jae In. Sung Mo's father doesn't have any grasp of human emotions and mistook Sung Mo's keen interest in Jae In incorrectly. As Sung Mo's father was following him around and saw him watching over Jae In. He misunderstood it as the same kind of obsessive interest as he has in Sung Mo's mom. Sung Mo has been saying from the start that Jae In is a person that Ahn has to meet. And Sung Mo is the one who got Jae In to help Ahn. He understood that both of them were haunted by their past and Ahn was hiding from his ability, never really letting it develop. So no, there couldn't be any romantic interest from Sung Mo for Jae In. He practically brought these two people together. My theory for Sung Mo's keen interest in Jae In's welfare is that Sung Mo actually is or at least feels partially responsible for the apartment fire. So he took in Ahn and became Jae In's patron through the church. That's what makes most sense at the moment.

I know right. I haven't been this shocked since Sirius died in the middle of the Harry Potter series. This is about as evil as a writer can get. To make us watch the rest of the episodes and feel Ji Soo's absence and see the fallout of her death. Dang, the writer isn't kidding around. I hope you'll continue to watch. Who knows what other surprises the writer has in store for us. In a way, I'm more invested now. Because this is devastating story telling.

P.S. I don't think Sung Mo set the apartment fire. He couldn't have. Though him being Jae In's patron and taking in Ahn makes sense with this piece of the puzzle added in. It would also make sense why he was so sure that Jae In's dad is innocent. But darn it, I'm going to stay in denial until Sung Mo confesses it or Ahn sees it himself. No way am I giving up on Sung Mo so quickly.

It's not just you. I'm a little tired of all those super cute and fluffy unrealistic k-dramas. So I'm always looking for a slice of reality. This just got real, which is breaking my heart, but I'll take it over those sugary cute overdose dramas any day. Damn, did not see any of these plot twists coming. I do get where Rawad is coming from though. Those early episodes with the epic bromance were everything to me. It wouldn't be killing us so much if it hadn't started out like that. This is really good and brutal story telling. Build characters and emotional ties and then completely deconstruct them. I guess I wasn't expecting a K-drama to pull out all the punches, so the shock is all the more reeling. Anyways, I'm in it till the end. I don't see how Sung Mo is going to come back from all of this in a single piece. I can't watch any more of my bbs die. Jaebal. I loved Ji Soo too, she was so driven and persistent, who wouldn't have liked her. Ahn has lost the two people who were closest to him and helped him over the years in a single blow. I haven't been this struck since Sirius died in Harry Potter.

Yep, I'm fully prepared to watch Soo Hyun die as a sort of hero. This one was meant to be a tragedy from the beginning,

Nailed it. So much truth about people being extra judgemental towards female characters and overtly forgiving towards male leads.

Kim Go Eun held her own opposite such seasoned actors and actresses in Goblin. Her character was bright and resilient. If Eun Tak in Goblin was truly selfish, she would have taken a ton of money and taken the sword out for Goblin when he asked. But she was a compassionate person and completely selfless when it counted. Deok Hwa was a much more selfish character in comparison. He rented out Goblin's place and bought a sports car, but I don't see people hating on him for being self centered.

These are really good 10/10 recommendations. Thirty but Seventeen has such a great sense of humor. And Romance is a Bonus Book is light romance done right.

I hear you. I can't believe they let such a poorly edited episode air. It really was an educational experience, like you've said. Strong post production is so important to create a quality drama.

Nice one :P

I've watched 2 episodes already, loving it.

Whoa sold. This is the last time I let MDL ratings dissuade me from giving a drama fair chance. Thanks for this list ^^

Yep, it was way, way, way extra, and just too freaking long. I stopped watching the drama because of that never ending over the top train sequence. Then a couple of days later, when I couldn't find a thing to watch, I went back to the episode, and it improved a bit in episode 2 (counting half hour episodes). But then, there was the hospital chase sequence in episode 3, it was hella over the top too. We'll probably see this type of dynamic play out in this drama a lot.

So true, it is awe inspiring and cringe worthy, all at the same time

Two of my favorite people, Shin Hye Sun and L. Can't wait for this. Shin Hye Sun has been perfect in every role she's taken on. She was glorious in Stranger, My Golden Life, Thirty but Seventeen and Hymn of Death. L played the stoic and grumpy judge quite well in Miss Hammurabi. The PD directed Healer. It's the writer's second drama, I haven't watched the first one. Please don't let this team down, writer-nim. Fighting!

Oh, it's just lazy writing then, the story meandering pointlessly in the first half and then jumping by bounds and leaps at the end. That's a bummer.

Ah yes, I forgot about the lawyer reporting the doctor. At least there's that. Agreed, the acting is flawless, specially by the main leads. It's the writing that could have done better.

Same for me. She was away from home for all of one episode and that was deemed punishment enough for her. Both she and the eye doctor should have faced criminal charges. The value of the drama took a real dive for me due to this.

Same, on all your points. I'm low-key disappointed at the rushed ending. If they hadn't wasted so many episodes with little to no story progression in the first half of the drama and had a balanced pacing throughout. Oh well, at least I made it till the end.
