KSH is unable to pay the court costs associated with his lawsuit against the bereaved family of his victim. Yesterday his lawyers asked the court for more time to come up with the money, but the deadline has passed with no news of their response.

Me too! I had to look up "Plaice" from the subtitles (scale-eyed flat fish)

Terrible title. Hyper is short for hyperactive, something you definitely do not want in a neurosurgeon. And no one brings a knife to surgery. Use a scalpel (or a laser).

I hope the GoldMedalist scandal doesn't ruin this (like it did D+'s Knock Off). Choi Hyunwook can't get away from that agency fast enough. They should gracefully let him out of his contract (but they never will.) He'd be smart to buy his way out if he can (but of course they will never let that happen.) So sad to see a promising talent get derailed by those who are supposed to be the ones supporting him.

Tiger. And last year there was a CGI giant boar in Queen of Tears.

I was joking. Kismet really is the stuff of dramas (and sometimes IRL too). I don't despise the dancer guy. Who doesn't love a guy who can pull out a fresh cabbage at a moment's notice?

But I'm not at all impressed by her narcissism. She has every right to choose to be a volcel, but it doesn't make for an interesting drama character arc (unless she outgrows it).

She keeps showing up in front of him (his building, his farm) like a stalker. Kismet is less believable. She's after his money.

I could appreciate this writer much more if she tried just a little harder. Whenever smart characters make atypically-stupid choices just to move the plot along, I feel insulted. There is always a way to make it work without betraying the characters.

I was enjoying this drama, but now that the lazy writer had her smart characters make an atypically stupid choice just to move the plot along, I feel insulted.

Why did they walk? They are looking for a car. He drives a rugged vehicle. It makes no sense.

Interesting. I took that quote from a recent article on the homepage:

SMA appeared on The Blank Menu. I learned she misses her dad and that her mom & brother are chefs who don't like to cook at home. Her meal was all about nostalgia. She got cold and had to put her jacket back. It was kind of sad, really.

Oh yeah the international butt plugs and dildos! How did I forget that?

This is hard to watch. I haven't been able to view a single episode in one sitting. It takes me multiple sessions to get through each episode, with prolonged breaks.

I am having the hardest time finishing the final episode. I may have to drop this while scant minutes remain.

Shin Min Ah: "The character I play, Ju Yeon, is the only righteous one and appears later in the series, so she doesn't have a huge impact."

Good to know. Insta-dropped.

I am cynical about the lack of morality of the entertainment industry, and how it impedes human choices vis-a-vis respecting others' humanity, rights, & common decency. I assume KSH & KSR are each perpatrators while also victims, in their own ways. And others are involved, some with & some without culpabilities of their own.

I couldn't get past the golf club, I eschew violence except in self-defense &/or protection of others. Invaders, interlopers, & insurgents aught to expect a beating. It's only polite to set boundaries with another in the act of breaching one's personal space. So in this scenario, battery first, next summon the police; questions can come later.

Some people say this is good. I'm willing to believe it except I feel the exact opposite. This drama is a non-starter for me, due to the initial premise. I don't even care to know what the "explanation" is, I'm sure it's good enough to get lots (most, not all) of viewers over it, perhaps even hooked. But not me. I dropped at this at 16:00 in ep 01 when the FL failed to beat the interloper & his assistant with the golf club.
