I personally love Signal, but I think that show emphasized more emotional attributes into a crime/thriller show, which for me worked but I can see why some wouldn't. IA, Choi Jin Woong was incredible in it. I read online that the FL would only talk about the ML/her relation was to the ML, and dating and not her own persona separate from him, which did make me second guess her character :/ The ending to Signal, tsk tsk...it's been 5 yrs. Ugh at open ended endings.

I watched two episodes of Watcher, and did like it but at the time was burned out on K-drama thriller shows. Perhaps, its worthy of going back to it. Speaking of Watcher, Seo Kang Joon is one of the mains in Zero (written by Stranger writer), and its a sci-fi show which well is tricky getting it right. Perhaps cough cough, CSW could've waited for that...:3

Oh got it. That's a bummer. Unless a serious accident occurred, not sure why they couldn't just use him? That's something that would drive me nuts if a show made it the end, but the ending/wrap up was messy esp. since this is a one season done show. Ambiguous endings for stories that don't need them irk me too!

I love Tomorrow With You. Such a shame that it came out after Goblin's schedule ended, as it prob. had a lot of pressure. Shin Min Ah and Lee Je Hoon's chemistry together was truly incredible. It's one of the few K-drama romances where I found their chemistry and romance to be utterly realistic, and if Min Ah wasn't w/ Kim Woo Bin then, I think these two would've been fire together!!

So many actors I like are in revenge, crime, thriller shows, and its like I get it but at the same time. If they were in a romance/rom-com again, I would die lol. I think for crime shows b/c they've a simple formula of centering around the cases, and the character's and boom easy success imo. Of course, if its more case centered, then snooze... Hoping this does well, b/c I want to see LJH in more leads!!

Well, I saw Jung Woo Sung and her. Ahem ;) But I know that was her breakthrough/rise as an actress. She has a cool vibe, I really liked her in BTIMFL. She's kinda dowdy in Taxi Driver (Her choice apparently, she went for curly hair/sneakers). But she's gorgeous, I like that the FL (altho does it feel like it?) is distinct looking/not as 'conventionally' pretty compared to the 2nd FL. In other dramas, it would be the other way around, so phew thankfully (let's get her more screen time/she's the FL right?). I think her and LJH could've sparkling/sexy chemistry/tension, but I feel like they're wasting that rn. (And no, I'm not talking romance wise). They seem well matched together in terms of age/acting/vibes, so let's utilize that PD/Writers!!

Shin MIn Ah fan too?! You've perfect taste :) I love her a lot (She also regularly donates $$ to burn victims/personally visits the families as well). When I found that out, I was floored in a good way! " and one of the few women who don't irritate me." Woah same here, I feel the same way too on her! There are good actresses sure, but I either find them bland or too cutesy (I'm talking those who are late 20s/30s who still act cute).
Basically everything you said about her, IA 100%!! There aren't many actors as lovable yet charming as Shin Min-ah imo! She's a dream pairing with my fav actors lol!

Sometimes crime/thriller/revenge shows feel like the same-ish at times. But when it works well, it works. SBS is hit/miss on me, if this was OCN or Netflix (minus the open endings) possibly but yeah I'm here for LHJ the most lol.

Esom is on another level. Did you see her in Scarlet Innocence??

Just want to jump in to say that I love TWY and Shin Minah. I have yet to see a show that will top the natural and realistic chemistry and romance of LJH and SMA. Lol there's so little love for this show that i find it necessary to spread it whenever someone talks about it.

@wapzy Yay another fan!! Their chemistry was so amazing, that it was hard to see them being paired up w/ other people romantically after I finished this show. With SMA, she typically gets good/similar age ML's for her romances, so I think for her I can move on a bit easier lol. But for LJH, b/c he seldom does romance genres, I feel like its hard to see him w/ another leading lady (romances). I just feel like majority of his FL's haven't gotten that spark/chemistry that I've felt from TMY. I do think that it did help a lot that he had a big crush on SMA in rl, I think his respect for her seeped into the role and their chemistry. I do want to see him in another romance (he really wants to lol), w/ an equally equal partner (acting/looks/vibe). I wouldn't mind an older actress like a Kim Hee Ae (yes lol)/Kim Hye Soo type (They had chemistry).

I think b/c the ML turned some people off in the beginning, like did he really lover her or was using her? Also this aired after Goblin's last episode, I mean that's a lot of pressure on a show. It started off so good to, but LJH (SMA doesn't seem to say much about this that I know of?) seems to have some reverence for this show as it was his 1st romcom drama.

It was really atmospheric and romantic. I really loved seeing their mature/adult relationship/chemistry. And I loved SMA's portrayal as well, she was always a hoot! I recall a lot of kiss scenes/skin-ship which are a plus lol :D Luckily both our actors were skilled at doing them :D

Did I reply to this? I forgot lol?

I loved her in A Bittersweet Life, she was the epitome of beauty! No wonder, LBH risked his life for her :D The beauty that makes men or women simp lol.

Naked Kitchen, weird title, but she and Ju Ji Hoon were fire together. She was also his costar in The Devil, which I hear is a great drama. It was before crime/supernatural dramas were a thing.

Yes, OMV introduced me to her charms!! I loved that her and SSJ were on equal levels, both acting/looks wise!!

Yeah, if were speaking of Taxi Driver. I find Esom to be the more gorgeous/intriguing than the 2nd FL. The 2nd FL is conventionally pretty, and is charming/cute, but it does feel a bit forced on ngl? I like Esom's looks, and I hope Taxi Driver uses her better than Ep 1-4 has used her thus far.

Right? We really are on the same page lol! I mean, ngl, LJH in 16 hours looking all hot/badass, and wearing lots of disguises is my catnip!!

Thanks @pickleddragon. I can highly recommend BEYOND EVIL. 2020 was a great year for the kdrama cops/crime/mystery genres. I consider BE right up there with two of my 2020 favorites: NOBODY KNOWS and THE GOOD DETECTIVE.
(LOL I may have gone out on a limb with the kudos with 2 episodes to go with kdrama’s history of crash landing endings. However, I think BE is in good hands.)

oh wow @marcusnyc20 that is quite a testimonial. I'm really looking forward to it now! (fingers crossed on the last two eps!)

We count Kairos bean each year. Because Kairos so good 😆.

*Teacher, someone's cheating! 😂

This sounds like me and my Stranger re-watches. I should have gotten half a dozen beans last year for that alone, by this logic.
