Han Taeyi is the most convincing cold/distant character I’ve seen BY FAR.
Normally when you’re watching a drama and see a character like this, you’re like "oh, they’re great at ACTING cold," but Ji Hogeun.. I feel like that look in his eyes and the aura he gives off seem wayy too natural that I’m really surprised by it. It doesn’t seem like he’s acting LOL. Good first impressions for him so far!
I just cant.. I relapsed, y’all. After finishing this drama 2 years ago, I still have Mouse fever at least once a year and this year is no different. I’m in a major drama slump rn bc, after watching Mouse for the 3rd time through, everything else pales in comparison.
It’s literally driving me crazy and is making me feel frustrated lol— like, so many thrillers are coming out this year but I’m still suffering in the afterglow of Mouse. I swear, Choi Ran put something in this drama that still makes it so damn hard to get over. Tried basically every thriller there is on the market rn, but Mouse is always there to remind me how it’s my sleep paralysis demon.
Just started watching and holy moly did that first ep pack a punch in terms of plot.. fast-paced too. I blinked and 3 backstories were revealed lmao. Looking forward to it!
Whoever wrote the dialogue for this show deserves some recognition.. like, so many lines can be interpreted one way or another.
For example, when the Headhunter said to Bareum: "I hope that Yohan doesn’t take over your brain. I mean it." who would’ve thought that he meant.. yk THAT
On my 3rd round now n the script still never ceases to amaze me
Jo Dan is fishy to me for some reason. Gaetal can be anyone at this point, and character-wise (of Gaetal), JD and LMS fit the description best 🗿 Gaetal seems like a p whimsical guy, so prob not the ice-cold exterior type?
On a side note, I noticed that Gaetal is speaking in a more.. how do I say this.. theatrical fashion? It kind of reminds me of how the ministers talk in costume dramas lol. I’m loving it tho
insanely adrenaline-pumping so far, and I love it! although, it prob will call for a rewatch cause' I can’t remember the plot when only 1 ep is released per week 💀
I find it hard to believe someone with a heart problem can drink or play basketball 🏀 without problem
spoiler here, but I think that his mother was in on the whole scheme of framing OJW and ultimately caused his death, all so that she could take advantage of his organ donation "wish." In the end, I think that his mother took OJWs heart (and possibly other organs, like his liver), and gave them to her son.
Is her son aware that OJW was his donor? Possibly?
Finished ep 2 so far.. and it ended on a great cliffhanger!
So far, the pacing of the drama is just the way I like it. The screenwriter is known for writing acclaimed makjangs, and I can definitely see that element weaved into this project’s script. Some of the characters, such as OJS and GYJ (especially OJS) are a bit.. annoying? obnoxious? impulsive, definitely.. I guess the screenwriter wants to make them stay true to their whole "country-bumpkin" origins (according to kdrama logic).
Ren is also doing a nice job portraying OJW. I’m not quite familiar with his other works or if this is his first breakthrough in acting, but he’s doing a great work nonetheless!
- MILD SPOILERS - In terms of plot, it’s definitely what we need in 2023. Ever since Blind released last year, I had some serious trouble discovering some good psychological, serial-killer k-thrillers, so I hope that this drama lives up to its tags and continues strong until the end. Since the plot is already quite makjang in the first 2 eps, I’m excited to see what’s in store for future eps. Honestly, I’m a huge fan of CYW’s character.. there’s definitely something fishy going on with his family, not to mention the fact that he has a heart condition as well. Is his mother doing all of this plotting behind the scenes to protect her son, based on the fact that he has this serious heart condition? Would a mother be willing to go that far to protect their child? According to kdrama logic, I can definitely see this, but I also hope that there is one, centralized culprit doing this who’s unrelated to the whole hospital scheme. It would also be great to know what criteria the culprit has for choosing their victims, since it seems pretty random as of now.
At first, Xiao Zhan adopting the whole "cold persona" didn’t seem to stick with me as I hoped it would. However, as more episodes passed, it’s clear that he has gotten more comfortable in his role. His characterization looks much more promising now!
Also, Ren Min is insanely good at acting cute that it’s literally criminal. The only other actresses that can pull this off imo are Li Landi and Shen Yue.
