Oh, how is Kim Tae Hee's acting in this? I've never been too enthusiastic about her but I saw some shots of her space age style hospital bed and I dunno but that made me want to give this a shot. Though it looks like she just woke up, maybe I should come back and ask in another 4 episodes lol.

I watched episode 4...seems like a good show but that one line blaming that girl for her own stabbing and assault was not a good fucking look

Especially since the show is supposed to be about regaining agency and revenge

ooh I just watched all 4 episodes in one sitting, and I'm loving it. Please don't go down hill lmfao

i forget the timeline -- is kim tae hee's character the (likely?) reason yongpal's mom died?
also did the cops sweep that car for DNA because yongpal's is all over it, seeing as he wasn't wearing gloves when driving iirc?

so slick so fancy. I like what little of kth we've seen so far. Watching Joo Won act all cool and manly is always so funny to me because in my mind he's this aegyo cuddle monster that likes belly pudge.

whoa apparently it got a 4-episode extension.

I'm still not in love with the show, but I know I will be starting next week. Bring on the drama, bring on the revenge.

Everyone is loving Yong Pal, but I feel like without HYJ's drama the show is just spinning in circles. For example the difference in intensity between YP jumping of the bridge, it's just like "cool~", and YJ trying to kill herself with that piece of vase, which has everyone thinking "oh shit, it's going down!".

P.S. I'll never understand why medical dramas are a thing~~~

i so alive thanks to this mess & im thankful it's breaking the drama curse & snatching those high ratings

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

someone explain to me how he's a surgeon, but can't pay his sister's medical bills.....?

i haven't watched the show yet...I'm assuming maybe he's new to being a surgeon so he has his own school debt or something...or the bills are just CRAZY expensive...

tempted to start this for my non-acting stunning queen KTH!

2015 didn't suck completely, we had Angry Mom, Punch and Healer. Yong Pal is obviously blowing everyone out of the water and I hope it won't deteriorate towards the end.

Anyway Yong Pal is giving me Nice Guy vibes. Idek why buy I love it. As long as they don't turn Yeo Jin into a whiny femalde lead. I want to see blood and messy chaebol war. Joo Won should always pick intense roles. The visuals are great.


Stephanie as Cynthia is everything. I already love her sassy character and her styling is great. I'm so glad she got another drama after Seonam Girls.

Right? What drama slump? I'll include Kill Me Heal Me, Pinocchio, and I Remember You too

I haven't finished Missing Noir M, What Happened to My Family, Shine or Go Crazy, or Beloved Eun Dong yet

[pentrue.livejournal.com]

Is this drama worth it? I'm hesitating to start a new one since I Remember You... the ending of that soured the drama for me and I don't know if I want to invest in another one.
