Wow. I don't know what to say. This was a really good episode. Tragic, infuriating and sad. Storywise, these are some broken characters. Il Do was a puppet who became a murderer due to greed. That last scene with Dongju showed glimpses of what could have been. It also showed who IL Do could have become. In saving Dongju, he did what he wouldn't do the first time and lost his life. Earlier, Dongju said there wasn't a chance for the two of them, yet there was this yearning that he portrayed. There is so much to unpack...this episode just left me feeling sad at what could have been between the two of them, and enraged at Yeom for manipulating everyone. Greed is a killer of the soul.

In real life, I wouldn't have anything to do with these people, family or no.

I loved the comedy. Yet I am disappointed. In what, I do not know. Did they lose the story along the way?

Will someone write me into this script so that I can kill Yeom and partake of the Kopiko coffee candy?
With that said this is becoming more interesting as it unfolds. I'm glad that we didn't't know the details of the story in the early parts of the show. I am also glad that there isn't much romance in this story.

To be honest, I would be surprised if the ML and FL ended up together. Something about their relationship has changed over the course of the show...unless I'm missing something. He cares about her, but I don't sense that early yearning that was present in the earlier episodes. As I watch, I even find myself not thinking about them much.

The poorly played chess game is between Donju, Yeom and Il Do, and it is entertaining to watch. I love this show, but one has to pay close attention otherwise it's easy to become lost.

I don't know what to think at this point. This episode blew my mind in a good way.
But I do hope this:
Someone needs to order some white trucks with a side of goons to take out some villains.
Writers please let ML have his day going forward. No more beat-ups, near strangulations etc.
Eliminate II do.
At the end, send ML and FL into opposite directions. The past is the past. May the two never meet again. Oh, and let him keep the money. :)

Dumb. Stupid. This show is trying to be something but can't quite get there.

Great acting by ML. Poor storyline and writing. Lots of stereotypes regarding faith. Yes, there are religious wackos out here, but like really...He had some mental issues. Also, the way he pastored the mom with the missing daughter had me rolling my eyes.
Talk about poor training. LOL
This could have been a good movie but it was all over the place.

Well damn...that last scene. I know nothing at this moment. When I think I am piecing together the clues, the writers come and scatter the pieces.

This is so good. The tragedy with its messy twist and turns is almost comedic. Dongju has so many lives. They can't get rid of this dude. As Yeom said, "He ate that cookie knowing it had cinnamon in it makes him ruthless." Most people may think the Dongju character is weak because he keeps getting beat up. True, he is not a skilled fighter as we would expect in a drama. He's more strategic and engaged in a chess match, while holding the money cards in a bowl surrounded by bloodthirsty vipers. There is an untold story around this character, and why Yeom hates him so much. I am waiting for the reveal. I could not connect the dots with the photo.

I am beginning to suspect that Yeom's loyal attack dog is not what he seems. I could be wrong.

With that said, Huh Joon Ho is an exceptional actor. May his character experience a pair of white trucks. I also like Park Hyung Sik acting in this role. His character is not perfect, yet it is a mature character that fits him. Basically everyone is doing an exceptional job. I do wish we knew more about the female lead character. Maybe then I could find some likeability.

I hope the writers do not lose the story. I would also be fine with an ending where the FL stays with her husband and Dongju rides off on his bike to start afresh...with a boatload of money of course. :)

Confession: I was hoping the 'hitman' would succeed in the mission to off the female character. But we can't always have good things. LOL

This show gets better and better. I still have a few questions. However, it is slowly beginning to make sense ...as each piece of the puzzle is revealed. However, my white truck candidates are: Yeom and all his goons, Heo, and EuNnam. For me the Donju character is shaping up to be more interesting then in the beginning ( He appears to have more than 9 lives). There is a lot that is untold about him and his family. I hope the writers don't mess this up. So far so good.

Oh. My. god.
It's about time and may he 'f' them all up.
Nothing but villains and murderers. All of them.
This show is just DELICIOUS. LOL

Grown-ups acting like kids. Sigh.
Since it is fresh out of the gate, I will give it a chance with a few more episodes. Hopefully it gets better.

Good lord. I'm going to wait for this one to finish and maybe come back to it. Writing is all over the place.

Started out good and has quickly gone downhill. What a shame. I like both actors, but even they can't save this. I'll give it a few more episodes.

That last scene was freaking hilarious.

By the end of the episode, I was ROFL because ... well you have to watch.
This is getting good. Episode 3 clarified a whole lot.
Let the games begin.
Dongju, as imperfect as you are, I am rooting for you, man.
Give it to them good.
I will say that I am still not invested in the character of the FL. Maybe that will change going forward as more of her story is shared. However, I do love the chemistry between the two main characters. JHS is on my shortlist of being one of the best fake kissers around.
For those who are uncertain, watch all 3 episodes before trashing this drama.
Right now, based on 3 episodes, I would give it a 9/10.
I like JHS in these mature roles.
Enjoy.

Went back to watch episodes 1 and 2. Apart from the story, I am loving this PHS look. Who knew he would look so sexy with long hair.

Thanks. This helps.

I'm trying to be patient with this one. The female character seems oblivious and self- absorbed...or maybe I have missed something in her story. Is it trauma? If so, okay. that explains it. I don't know, but I find the character exasperating. I'll give it a few more episodes. There has to be more because how in the heck can they get 32 episodes out of this?

This is shaping up pretty well. However, one has to pay close attention because they weave seamlessly between past and present. Therefore, it can be extremely confusing. I have no interest in the lead female character reuniting with the lead male character. I hope they write away that relationship. From what I've seen so far, the ML has been highly underestimated by the other players. PHS brings a calm, measured presence that I'm loving. The character is ordinary and not over the top. He doesn't reveal much but carries much within. Also, I suspect that there is a part of the ML's story that is hidden, because why would they set-up a random person. It will be interesting how this unfolds...I am rooting for the ML. The others need to crash and burn in their devious behavior. I just hope the writers do not forsake the story.

Damn!
What was that. And they all knew!
There had better be some fancy writing going forward.
No amount of crafty wordsmithing can make up for such a cruelty.
And it is only episode one!
On their last night together, she didn't want him to use protection. If she ends up pregnant, I am going to dismantle my computer.
I hope he gets revenge and bring them all down. Poor baby.
