Moonstruck

It's not for everyone but this is a really good series, I think it deserves a higher rating.

SongChon stole the show for me. He's such an interesting character, he reminds me of Mike from Breaking Bad. He has a good characterisation that they probably could have expanded more if the series was longer. So from what I gather he faked his death after attacking NanGam's dad and that's when RohBin found him. I know he got disillusioned after what he found out after NanGam's dad and RohBin's ideals on justice rubbed onto him, but would have been nice if we saw the transition of him being a decent rookie cop to someone who incites extra violence on his victims.

LeeTang felt a bit more like a secondary character, he's like a depressed puppet to 'dumb luck'. I swear halfway thru I thought that his senses is telling him that he himself deserves to die (mirror scenes) and I thought the series will explore that, but guess not.

NanGam is annoying. He's too noisy, never listening and always threatening. His character didn't do anything spectacular as a detective either.

RohBin I really like. He should have been top-billed in this series. The unlikely hero/anti-hero defending how you view it.

All in all, I enjoy the moral dilemma in this series. No matter how noble you think your cause are, you can never play God (like in the case of SongChon and Rohbin). Only Lee Tang's senses are 'God-like' as he is truly able to seed out people who deserves punishment. But then, that is the supernatural aspect of this drama and nothing like that exists in real life. In real life, vigilantes will delude themselves that they have Lee Tang's ability, but they don't, they'll just be like chemo, targeting cancer cells but also killing healthy cells in the process.

And PS. the filming style is really unique and very good.

he went back to killing using his senses. now we don't know if the detective will go after him or not

You're putting more context into my comment than the meaning I intented. I'm Asian so I know more about this side of WW2. Surely you won't find me commenting the same thing about Captain America film and the German villains. But that was my feedback on this series, I didn't expect it to be super-hero like, I thought it's gonna be more thought provoking and deep series.
If I had known this series will go into the direction it went, I wouldn't have expected complex characterization.

I know more about this topic beyond what they teach in school. I did recognize how atrocious Japanese regime back then, didn't I? If this was a documentary or a non-supernatural film, I probably wouldn't have made the comment. I am in no way defending Japan or wishing they were portrayed differently in general. My comment was from unmet expectation when this series went into a super-herolike film state. It felt a little too black and white for me and cartoonish. The hero complex felt off to me, there wasn't enough episodes to build a good flow of characters development imo.

yes, good points you mention there. Maybe I just felt it wasn't as engaging and thought provoking as I hope it to be. It's a little super-heroish for me.

No need to be sarcastic, ofcourse, I did. And I know there are some characters that were mixed in like Sachimoto, but I still feel the story is flat for me. I was expecting a bit more on the story given the big production and the talented actors.

oh, is that so. I didn't know, thanks for sharing. will update my comment

I know the Japanese occupation of Korea is still a sore topic for many Koreans, I feel this series probably lead to more anti-Japanese sentiments. Tbf, the Japanese were truly horrible back then, but I did wish this series wasn't just black and white. Like the Koreans were portrayed such selfless heroes and the Japanese were so bad and evil. Would have been nice if they added more spectrum to the characters.
As I've pointed in my previous comment, this show had such potential for greatness, but it really fell flat.
I kinda feel bad that MDL ratings are sometimes artificial and cannot be trusted anymore.

Honest opinion, it's far from outstanding but just okay. Okay in the sense that it made me continue watching, but there is nothing really special. Although there are still 3 episodes left, I feel it's in an awkward length. Either they should just have made this into a movie and let it be fun and gruesome OR invested in more episodes to do a proper character and story build up.
As others pointed out, so many things didn't make sense and a lot of awkward dialogue.
There wasn't enough content for audience to connect to the characters and truly care for their plight. The actors specially SeoJun and SoHee really delivered, but I believe it's the script that is lacking. It felt kinda bland, specially when they all turned to have some Hero complex and the Japanese are just flat out cartoonishly bad.
I had high hopes in the early episodes, because the gruesome setting provided some shock factor and there was some mysticism to the character entrance, plus JangTaeSang's character seems to be grey and interesting. But it turned meh later on. Will still watch the last 3 eps though.

yes, I wonder why some of the actors weren't credited in GyeongSeong Creature, not even under guest role.

Still haven't caught up on latest episodes. But it's so funny, it should be called 'Journey to No privacy', everyone is always up on each others' business.
Whenever some serious conversations are happening, you can always be sure extra pair of ears are always listening the background.haha

oh yeah, I can definitely see what you mean with Liu Yifei and YangMi 😊
yes. For me what I enjoy now is not really the CP but the overall chemistry within the group. I like this adventure camarederie/brotherhood type of stories. I definitely hope no one dies pls🥹.
Looking forward to more episodes and thank you for the input 😊

To each their own, I guess I personally do not feel as passionate about celebs or dramas as others. You can tell I love LBFAD and adore DW in it, but I don't mind when others point out somebody who can play it better so long as they comment on the performance and fit to the character and not something personal. It simply sparks an imagination on how it would have turned out.
Ofcourse If I know LSS in person I wouldn't say anything this sort to her face, but this is a public board and I don't think I attacked her or was hostile about it.

Yes. I don't mind replies like yours and even others who pointed out their dislike for the actresses I mentioned. They are as entitled to their own opinion as I am. There are two commenters here though who were personally attacking me for not liking what they like, I refuse to engage though.
Nonetheless, the ratio of replies are not bad. Everyone assured me LSS was the best fit for the role, and 90% of those reply were non-hostile and actually encouraging to carry on with the series and see how I view LSS later on.
Funny how the some who commented this is a mature drama sounded the most juvenile and hostile in their replies.

you're right. I forgot not everyone is mature enough. I didn't realize ZLS evokes this kind of reaction from some people. I'm just a casual Cdrama viewer who made a harmless comment and have no interest on arguing about celebrities, tbh.
It's embarrassing to say the least how juvenile some post are haha

thank you! yeah, somebody just commented that she hasn't really shown a vulnerable side up to where I'm at in the story now. I guess she's pretty convincing then if I felt she's still too closed off and strong at this point.

no, no, I'm neither a hater nor a fanatic. I happen to watch her on LLTG and TLB and I thought she's a versatile actress. I did drop her other dramas though.
That is all there to it. it shocks me actually how vicious some comments are. I don't really care much and there is no point arguing back and forth on those comments, I won't be stressed for LuSi lol What I do not like is that some commenters actually not just insult LuSi but also insult me a total stranger they do not know. It's pathetic how some pour a lot of energy and feelings for celebrities and thinks anyone who mention them feels the same passion.

exactly. and I totally respect that. I guess it was just a wishful 'what if' based on my interpretation of the character.

still wrong 😂 lol just think whatever you want if that makes you happy 🍪.

haha as you can tell by some of the replies, there are some way too passionate fans here. I just dropped random actress names and they already assumed this and that and will go as far as insult a stranger on the internet. lol
One can only wish everyone is mature enough to distinguish a personal experience/opinion and a diehard fanatic comment. *sigh*
