not towards you, but I actually agree that many people are way more critical towards female leads than male leads. I saw people complaining how all female characters are the same but when I checked their profile or custom lists with some of their favorite male characters, there were literally copies of the same character played by different actors. Which annoyed me, coz apparently they did not have a problem with the male characters being boringly the same but the female characters being similar is the worse. In many cases it;s not like male characters are better written than female ones, but the stereotypical male characters seem less annoying to many people, but truth is both male and female characters are often painfully shitty and boring. The years I've been watching dramas, I have noticed that usually when the FL is badly written, so is the ML. I cannot think of any drama where FL and ML were equally important and one was significantly better written than the other.
That said, YES TO ALL THE LADIES YOU NAMED! I have not seen some of the dramas, but from the ones I have seen, I loved them all! Some I appreciated a lot are: Miki (Different Dreams), Song Ja In (The Nokdu Flower), Hwang Myung Sim (The Nokdu Flower) < she was probably even better and stronger character for me than the FL tbh, Song Ga Ryeong (Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People), Im Sang Mi (Save Me), Ryu Su Hyeon (Chicago Typewriter), Noh Seung Hye (SKY Castle).

I can already tell that my review will be long essay on the amazing acting we've got to see from Zee

My biggest complain about Eun Jae was the fact they "cured" her problem with placebo. It was such an easy way out and it stripped her from overcoming it herself and making her a stronger character that way.
Also, I liked Park Min Gook the most too, coz he was the most complex character of them all... well until the last two episodes. I have no idea what happened there. He went full villain for a second, then he got sad coz Master Kim scold him (lol) and then he turn good? It was such a mess...
I was questioning it I should give it 7 and not 6.5 but 7 is "I liked it" and I feel like "It's okay" fits more how I feel about this drama...
Anyway, great review :)

Okay, I will give a different perspective than Aya97. No where near as good as season one. The pacing is off most of the time, there is A LOT of focus on politics in the hospital, Woo Jin and Eun Jae are either frustrating or boring characters without much interesting set up. There is no interesting villain and the only truly interesting character (Min Guk) is being turned into your stereotypical "greedy villain" the closer to the end we get. I kind of regret watching it.

if you look at the whole drama, the focus was on her the most. Even compared to Woo Jin who feels more like a supporting character for her development.
That said, with how much of a mess this season was, I hope there will be no 3rd one.

About the killer, they explained his psychology quite well by his actions. He was psychopathic stalker. He found his victim, stalked her, kidnapped her and the moment he got bored, because "the chase" was over, he searched for new victim. I don't think there must be more to it. He was delusional and believed he had connection with his victims.
There were at least 2 victims and, Kyung Min (who survived) + additional victims that he did not plan from the start to murder (like the director from the bank or the detective). His goal was not to kill, but to chase and get the thrills out of that.

Janistar is doing great job, but her role is so much easier to act compared to Zee's.

I don't really think Tutor likes Hwahwa. I'm pretty sure he also has a crush on Fighter since the beginning. His dissatisfaction about Fighter and Hwahwa comes from the feeling, that Fighter does not really like her. He thought him and Fighter are starting to slowly get romantically involved and out of the blue he starts to hit on Hwahwa. And since Fighter is hella confused about his feelings, is with Hwahwa, because he's sure Tutor likes her. And he does not want to see his crush dating some girl. So he dates her himself (not that smart lol).
Anyway, what I want to say I'm pretty sure they both like each other and were attracted to each other since day one, but Fighter is insecure so he fuc*** up hahaha

Honestly it feels like watching two different shows: one is the story of Tutor and Fighter, and the other is Zon, Saifah and all the random stuff.
Tutor and Fighter story has a nice simple plot about dudes liking each other, but one is way too insecure about his sexuality and feelings to truly go for it, but at the same time he cannot give up spending time with his crush. It's nice, cute and makes perfect sense.
Zon and Saifah... where to even begin. Zon has 10 different personalities, I am confused what is he feeling and thinking. Saifah is kind of falling in love and it can be seen, but then there are scenes when he is like "nope". Not to mention all the supporting characters that show up once or twice every episode, do nothing and are gone.

agreed. Woo Jin did not need any character development since day one, he just needed someone to solve his financial problem (since he never did anything questionable coz of money in the 1st place), Eun Jae didn't really have that much consistent development. She took placebo to work, with overcoming her trauma and stress, she did close to nothing, it was done to her. The only thing working for her is that she stands up for herself more but it's also just random outbursts of confidence and not gradual change.
Not to mention Min Guk who had such a HUGE potential as a character but it was never fully explored and used.

I don't think he is greedy tho. I think he is self-righteous and he does believe he is right and what he is doing is correct and he finds the explanation for all his mistakes externally. I think this is far worse than someone being just greedy.

I'd say read 2 or 3 reviews that rated it high, it will most likely help you decide. Also I literally stated in my review:
"So if the minimum interest you may have in sports is the reason you are on the fence whenever you should watch this show, rest assured, it’s far more than just baseball." so yeah, the lack of knowledge about baseball will not be a problem. I know NOTHING too and was never confused hahaha

I feel special having some insight to some of your articles whwn you work on them lol
Also this one was definitely needed :)

funny hahaha ;D
but also, if they rewrite a bit, I'd say they should post it, since this will be lost as more comments are posted, and it's always good to have a different opinion and perspective too check out. All the reviews are good, having one bad one would not be such a bad idea hahahaha

I find the "villain" in this drama one of the most interesting ones in recent years, because he is so realistic. He is not some ridiculous all powerful, all-knowing and intimidating man, but someone who exists. There are many people like him in real life, and that makes him so much better for me.
So yeah, I know nothing about baseball, but I'm enjoying this drama so much!

Honestly, for me his character is the only interesting one at this point of the drama and I cannot wait to see more of his development: whenever he goes fully on the good or bad side. Either way it will be interesting.

Not going to the therapy coz you don't have access to it is one thing. Dealing the best way you can in a situation you are in, is one thing. But being healed from your mental problems coz you fall in love is not real. At some point all the symptoms Type had were gone. Without any treatment. Unrealistic, with how amazingly deep rooted his trauma was. That's my problem. They had dysfunction and then they did not.
Also, I said it many times already, their relationship was not the only reason I disliked this drama. Even if the mental health issue of Type and Tharn was never introduce to the drama, I would at best think it was mediocre and silly entertainment.
Anyway, I finished the conversation with the person I wanted to talk (OP) and we agreed to disagree. Not gonna reply for more comment, coz every one of them brings exactly the same reasons, which I already talked about.

Exactly. We are done with character development for main characters already (which is ridiculous). It's way too situation driven right now. They just drop some random cases left and right...

It just takes away from the drama tbh, the fact he is always able to save everyone, even if it's 1% chance. The only time someone died so far in 2nd season, was the woman who was already brain dead when she got to the hospital. Like 10th episode, I was not excited nor scared about the two patients in the bus. We all knew they will survive so I was quite bored with their scenes. Right now, the only truly interesting character for me is Park Min Guk...

They literally did not have to show anything. Add one line from Type saying "I've been going to therapy for years, but it didn't help" or anything like that. It takes 3 seconds of the airing time.
For me, Tharntype is a case of bad writing. You may disagree with me, I truly don't care. I was planning to give it 1 tbh, but both Gulf and Mew seem like a nice people so I felt bad about it, even tho they will never see my review. For me the case was quite simple: you introduce a topic to your drama, you better know what you are writing about. I complain the same when I watch a romance that has elements of crime in it, and the crime aspect is butchered simply because the romance is the main focus. If you are not willing to put some work into your writing, do not introduce topics that require said work to make sense.
