1-5 were great. 6 was an aimless attempt to wrap up an otherwise promising story. I have to say A Rin needs to do more acting jobs. She is captivating in her vulnerability.
This was a fun flick. Tight storytelling, moves well and onwards. Not a dull moment. I think the pacing was just right. Top notch acting. Gritty, disturbing at times, as it’s meant to be. Is it predictable? Yes. But who cares. I mean, anyone who has watched 200+ movies in their life will find almost anything predictable. KHN delivers the role of a charming unlikeable guy to the tee.
1. Usually cases are not assigned to family. So for the guardian of the victim to be working a case is …unusual.…
My second point about ML not getting nor even requesting access to his niece’s phone records is based on him being the only guardian to her. Because he’s kin he can request her data. Not only in the capacity of the case officer but also in the capacity of her legal guardian. She’s a minor anyway. The case doesn’t need to be active or closed by the LEA for a blood relative to request for forensics.
Does not bore. Keeps you engaged. Really enjoying this one. Some things are questionable about the plot like …
1. Usually cases are not assigned to family. So for the guardian of the victim to be working a case is …unusual. 2. Really curious why couldn’t the uncle request the phone records of her niece. Isn’t that first thing in such cases. Especially in Korea where suicide prevention / risk is something of a hot topic. 3. The bully girl has been missing for ages and no one in the police is looking for her Where are her parents ? Even if no one has reported her missing - she was identified as the bully in the supposed suicide case. Why is no one curious about her whereabouts? 4. So many people related to the school are caught up in this wave of controversy. The school board / police no one is curious as to why this school is the ground zero for so many deaths/scandals. 5. The language teacher died after his picture was posted online. Again no one checked his phone records to see if he was getting threats/extortion etc. 6. Again the girl with whom the teacher had an affair is missing. Her picture was spread online. Why is no one looking for her whereabouts.
Oh lol I see 😂 but isn’t it normal for some dramas to peak and some not to. Some to be universally loved and some not to get traction. Like isn’t it normal ?
Research will tell YOU that the whole disease is NOT REAL.The makers of the drama confirmed this and everybody…
And while we are on the subject of research 😂 let me also tell you this. Mitochondrial epilepsy is an actual disease, not fictional. The manifestation and criticality in this drama is yes fictional. It’s a chronic illness not necessarily fatal. It can be fatal. But people with access to modern medication and therapies can live a long and predominantly healthy life but not a “normal” life per se. Also, a little story time for insight before you jump in to another fit of rage about the above facts. Many years ago when I moved to another city and changed schools I made friends with the head prefect. I was voted junior prefect. That girl had this very disease and it was the first time I saw someone have that episode. She would get epileptic seizures, she literally had this old Casio digital watch with alarms for food and medicine. And let me tell you something I learned about her behaviour with her illness. 1. She would know or could tell when she was about to have a seizure. She would lay flat on the ground or lay flat anywhere so she didn’t hurt herself. She literally would tell us anticipate these episodes. Miss school or tell us what to do cos she was about to seize up. 2. During a seizure people lose awareness not just of their own body but also of their surroundings, and they have no control over themselves to say things like “take mr. Lee out the room”. What Daeum was having is an earthquake not a seizure. She is all awake, aware of her surroundings and telling people what to do. Even in this “fake disease” a little bit of research would have informed the actor what happens to a person when they have a neurological seizure.
Now, artistic liberties are a thing. But you can’t reinvent epileptic seizures.
I didn’t call you crazy lol - you forgot to read as well? Read again when you have simmered down a bit. Also, tintin, You started this 😅. I am only reminding you that I can and will have an opinion. You can’t technically call it an attack/offense. Rather it’s a defense. Oh “who are you to lecture me”. I didn’t lecture you at all. I am telling you to not lecture me if I have a different opinion than yours. 🙂 cos when you do, and consistently it comes across as unhinged. If you have the capability of reading properly you will see that I haven’t even been offensive. Just straightforward and logical. I haven’t called anyone names here either. 😆 Silly stuff really to think someone will get scared of your fist pumping fangirling mania.
This is purely fiction ,no one forces you to believe it so far you're getting it! They really outdid themselves,…
Critiquing a work of fiction and hate speech are two different things. Clearly you don’t know the difference cos the way you are engaging in this conversation where your only point of contention is “oh someone doesn’t like what I like. That’s unacceptable. I better go at them”. Clearly shows a lack of education since your reliance on words like “sh**” and “delusional” for people you don’t even know. Very …uncouth. It’s a clear sign of someone who lacks the refinement. If you are unable to be civil, know these two simple facts which are also legal operational framework for the internet: 1: there’s a difference in hate speech and critical opinion. 2: Open forum online spaces are created to have a space for “different opinions” to coexist regarding a particular or multiple microcosms. Any online space with an open comment section is legally protecting free speech. Again free speech not misinformation and defamation. Your opinion here is yours and mine is mine. Both will coexist here. Get with it. And increase your vocabulary to have a civil discourse about differences in opinion to not come across like an uncouth troll. 😂
Research will tell YOU that the whole disease is NOT REAL.The makers of the drama confirmed this and everybody…
Your opinion is yours. My opinion is mine. Both will exist in this world cos that’s what it’s about. You can whine about it. But that’s about it. Also I didn’t say her temperature was high the doctor did 😂 in the last aired episode right when she came back to the hotel after holding hands with gamdog nim and breaking the news to the crew. The doctor who rushed to the shooting location, his first sentence to her was “we need to get your fever down”. Did you even watch it before you came tapping away at the keyboard. 😂😂😂
lol tintin92, you are the one attacking someone for having a differing opinion than yours. Calm down, you’re coming across unhinged. Ever ventured out in the world and met people with different opinions? Do you work yourself up into a frenzy every time someone is not saying the same thing as you ? Or is your default state is picking online arguments. How childish of you to say “boohoohoo why you watching it if you don’t like it”. As if I will stop watching and critiquing it just cos some internet troll felt affronted. Relax, it’s an open forum. People watch k-dramas and they tend to like and dislike and share their opinions about it. That’s what this forum is about. Grow up, get therapy or something. Calling people delusional for differences in opinion is problematic.
Ladies/Gents/Bots/whoever - it is “my opinion”. You not agreeing with it is “yours”. Calling someone delusional just cos they don’t share your views is very mob behaviour . Grow up a little, get some therapy. There are 8 billion people on this planet - to want/expect every one on this forum to have the same opinion as yours is the actual delusion. You are free to leave a love letter here for your favourite shows and artists if you want. I am free to leave my criticism and also love for shows I watch and like/dislike. That too complicated for you to understand?
She has confessed her feelings for the man, kissed him, spent time with him and he has reciprocated. Why does she keep calling him “ gamdog nim”. It’s unnerving. Is it a thing in Korea.? Like you fall in love with a MD / Doctor and you keep calling them Mr. Doctor. Hmm…at least she hasn’t launched into “Oppa” territory. That would have been totally off.
Immature sappy writing. It didn’t give me enough to be invested in it from the start. There’s no development or progress just stand alone occurrences that tip themselves over and right themselves on their own. I seriously thought it would get better near the end … but no. It remains an immature and amateur, undercooked writing endeavour. It will go down as totally forgettable as well. And I guess all actors have such a project on their resume, which is fine.
Also, she’s dying with perfect skin and hair and look. Doesn’t even look tired or ravaged by an illness. Even a little bit of research will tell you that patients of mitochondrial epilepsy experience extreme exhaustion and disorientation. And she is shown to be at a critical stage. Also, “Daeum let’s get the fever down” says her doctor first moment he sees her at the hotel. And here is Jee Ha kissing, holding hands and being in close proximity to her and hasn’t noticed her temperature is high. Unusually stupid. How am I supposed to believe any of this.
I still don't understand why Jeha fell in love with an imbecilic, ayegyo-ing, bob-walking kinda gal. I don't get it. What happened? When and how too. It's not a good look tbh. Cos without the clarity into why and when he fell in love, it's coming across as a creepy boss kinda dynamic.Okay, onto episode 8
