is it bad I laughed at Jing-eun getting almost killed and buried twice in one night?

No, but where's "third time's the charm" when we need it?

Hmmm… maybe she saw something happen to Gye-young and blocked it?

That's essentially required by the laws of kdramaland. It's not like she would have been traumatized and blocked out the memory of some of her mom's cooking.

Hehe, this totally unconvincing play by the neighbours that they are absolutely sad not to be able to eat in mother's and grandmother's restaurant anymore made me laugh so much.

Mother and grandmother were great again. Maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to do, but I loved how they confronted and threatened the stalker directly. And on top of that, this subtle reference to the fridge while inviting him to dinner.

I hadn't counted on both the stalker and the cop growing up in the neighbourhood. With the stalker it had been hinted at during the seventh episode, but the policeman had surprised me.

@quirkycase You are not the only one. Even the ruckus that happened in Gye Hoon's restuarant was so funny🤣🤣🤣 This is exactly what you call as dark comedy and given the ratings not many people enjoy it, which is sad.

Da Hyun's "bring it on" confrontation near the cross walk with Ji Geun was brilliant. I'm glad the drama chose to show the trauma and the subsequent act of courage which is necessary for victims to heal.

I also did not expect to be hit with childhood connection at the end of ep 8, because I suddenly felt a teeny bit sorry for Ji Geun to turn out the way he is when the other three kids are still sane, but I do not want the story to given him a redemption arc especially after stalking and attempting to murder Da Hyun. He deserves jail time. I, however, think he might not be the muderer of the girl in the white curtained room because it is pretty obvious and the show so far likes to surprise us. I maybe wrong though!

The actor playing Ji Hoon was already good in another Kdrama "Hometown Cha Cha Cha", but here his acting is exceptionally well. The scene where he stood behind a pillar and looked back and forth between an angry Gye Hoon and Da Hyun slipping into the hands of the young cop was hilarious😂😂😂

The dog too was so cute and as always Gye Hoon and Da Hyun are adorbs ❤ I love their banters

I don't think Jingeun killed Dahyun's sister. He is mad and totally capable of hurting someone but not killing. Maybe all he did was stealing her belongings... I might be wrong.

Maybe Jingeun has been obsessed to Dahyun since he was a child? Maybe he used to follow her wherever, Gyeyoung noticed it, and that was how repeated fight scene happened.
And maybe that's how Jingeun and Dahyun became witness to whatever happened to Gyeyoung?

Also maybe these people, the nosy neighborhood, are protecting someone "innocent" whom they believe is responsible to what happened to Gyeyoung... just like at the restaurant when they protected each other (or more like Eunjung)?

What if, they all believe Dahyun was responsible(?) for whatever happened to Gyeyoung (thus they have been protecting her all along) and turns out Dahyun was just so unfortunately involved to a sad accident which planned by this bad bad guy 18 years ago

Did i just write something from another drama here?
Maybe i did😅

I was thinking in ep7 DaHyun needs some female friends as we really didn't see her interact with any (the college friend doesn't seem that close to her) and I'm glad she now has JingEun and the Policewoman besides her mother and grandmother. And it does seem she shared at least some of happened with the female officer (need to find out her name)

Note that LJE said Gye-young was injured, and he saw who dragged her away.

I'm glad the piano teacher was innocent. I hope Won-tak is able to reconcile with his father now.

I feel like the drama was sending signals through the changes in the way Gye-hoon treated the dog. He told it to get lost, then he fed it. Then later, he apparently bought a dog bed for it. Then, finally, he moved the bed indoors at night. I think his relationship with Da-hyun has been taking a similar trajectory. He was rude to her in the beginning. Then he started to feed her at night. Then he gave her a job, and started to let her get closer to him. Now she's the one cutting him off, but that's pretty clearly not what he wants anymore.

That fight scene in the restaurant segued from super intense to slapstick so well! I love the way the show does this. I’m also intrigued to find out who the other dead woman is - and why she was left in Jin-geun’s room instead of being buried….
I might give other comments a miss, though, as some pretty accurate theories made the reveal less of a shock. :) you guys are just too good!

This drama contains kidnapping, murder, murderer, stalking but it's kinda my happy pill of the week. It mixed so well so humor like Da-Hyun's mother letting slip they won't break his door a third time.

Jing-Eun accusing Gye-Young to be guilty because he didn't help his sister... I mean people aren't tired by this stupid idea? An adult let her alone, Jing-Eun was there or at least knows things but never talked about it, he's the one who made Won-Tak's father a suspect by saying nothing.

Both Da-Hyung and Gye-Young are cute, they both are scared that something will happen and try to protect each other.

I don't think I ever thought I would say this, but damn, unexpected childhood connection. I cried so hard with Eunjung, especially when I realized it was her sister. So soul crushing. Finally Gye Hoon realized he liked her, sir it obvious to everyone except you. smh

The real question is will Gyehoon's restaurant ever open? At first I liked seeing how the renovations progressed each episode but it's laughable how the glass keeps getting smashed (they should have just gone with brick walls, would have been better for privacy with all the stalkers around too 😂).

Eun Jung made me cry this week, I really hope she can find happiness again :(

This family is so extra that no matter what they do, it ends up looking like a Pink Panther scene.

This is the most accurate sentence about these women I’ve read so far. This show is a gem and I find myself laughing at the darkest moments. I still have to catch up, but couldn’t pass up commenting about that great metaphor. 😂

The last few minutes of episode eight had me ping-ponging like crazy to conclusions about who was really behind the sister mystery and also screaming at the screen for them to stop throwing punches and just tell us 😭 but I really hope DH wasn’t instrumental, accidentally or not, in the disappearance.

This week’s recipe for the audience seemed to be ‘laugh, cry, be scared’ rinse and repeat 😂 😢 😟. Just nailing all the tones it’s setting out to achieve honestly. Grandma with her rolling pin is genuinely an icon, also the friend’s reaction to finding out the entire town was full of basically almost murderers was hilarious. Standout scene has to be the confrontation at GH’s restaurant with Baseball Bat Mum going wild with her swings.

Excited to see the Link become mutual next week (based on the ep 8 preview) and hopefully get closer to uncovering what on earth happened in this town all those years ago.

"Her family may be a mess, but they’re ride or die" perfectly sums up DaHyun and her mother and grandma! They are their own living sitcom, as Eun-jung (who turns out not to be a pyscho) laughingly points out. They protect each other, and when one goes off with a hammer or baseball bat, another is sure to follow. Da-Hyun is also getting braver facing her fears and telling off her stalker, which I admire even if it’s reckless (he’s clearly not above attempted murder, after all, and all signs point to him having murdered at least one woman, or possibly two. But could this be a red herring and he’s just a witness, the way he apparently witnessed Gye-Young’s abduction?) The revelations are coming fast and furious but there’s still plenty to puzzle over. Could Gye-young’s father have been involved in her disappearance as some have suggested? I loved the last scene of Episode 8 where the adults slowly look at each other in a circle and recognize their younger selves (the child actors are all phenomenal, by the way). I do wish the two love birds would get on with it (the breaking up when they aren’t even really together is getting a bit too drawn out for me), but I suppose it makes sense that both have intimacy problems given their pasts.
I saw an interesting tweet about Link that I thought I would share: the writer says “link talks about various serious topics that need to be addressed like domestic abuse, and how hard it is to talk about it; the victim would rather kill her abuser instead of trusting the law…making the ml feel the emotions of the female victim was so needed because he felt how horrible, traumatizing this experience is. It makes him more conscious about this issue and how women never feel safe when they’re out alone.” Full thread here: https://twitter.com/dramaoutro/status/1542266569is350332418?s=10&t=tt1hbIO69UGq1uiFzFEEgQ
It makes me sad that the ratings are so low in Korea; one article said that Link was expected to be a “sweet romance” but suddenly viewers were forced into thriller elements like “stalking and corpse abandonment.” Perhaps it should have been marketed more as a mystery/thriller than a romance so that viewers had a better idea of what to expect; with the dark comedy is mixed some very serious themes. But honestly the fact that it doesn’t fit easily into one genre is what I most appreciate about it. I really hope Disney will release it to a wider international audience soon.

I KNEW IT I KNEW EUN-JUNG WASNT RELATED TO JIN-GEUN gosh that felt so GOOD.

Ahem sorry anways! This week's ep felt really draggy and I really just wanted them to get on with the mystery. I did not see won-tak's reveal coming as I kinda forgot about that kid so that was insane for me, that everyone is connected in a way. The dynamic of them using their childhood relations was actually not bad and a little sad to see as they all had a shared trauma.

(The actor portraying Jin-Geun is doing an incredible job, he needs an award or smth STAT)

The fight between GH & JG was, im sorry, so painful and bad to watch. The awkward silence and won-tak (a cop) just stood there and went "hey don't do that" made me abit ???

But I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes, hopefully we could get more clues on what really went down all those years ago.

I loved the scene in Bok-hee’s restaurant. I appreciated that the mom was not backing down and giving in to Jing-eun's antagonistic remarks. I could feel the mom's frustration and anger in that moment.
