@missvictrix thanks for the weecap. I started to watch the episode and got distracted and reading this I wont wast my time. The fact he turned up in overalls claiming to know about cars when he clearly doesn’t was a red flag that he was going to look stupid in the next take hence my switching off.
The little girl could literally be her real life child she looks so much like her. I was confused why a child would be interested in sitting in a court room but again could not be bothered to stay to see what the purpose was. I will dive back in next week and see if it holds my interest but otherwise I will just read the weecaps and possibly watch the last one for old times sake.

I am currently watching Chief Kim/Good manager and even though I am only at episode 2 it feels like it’s going to be the same character type but in the financial sector rather than the legal field. I must admit I am thoroughly enjoying it so far and would prefer to stick with that drama rather than one at this point. It’s a shame as prior to the murder case I was enjoying the drama. Two episodes of fast forwarding one and weecap reading the second and I was wondering whether to continue. However, the show made an epic come back and I got totally engrossed in the back story. So not sure what led to the advert for Starbucks being used to highlight we were back to usual service. That would have been fine if they had not chosen a boring topic to focus on.

Hmm, I don't know where to start.

How can dramas just have their seasons cut if they aren't doing well ratings wise? What about the story? It just gets no resolutions? And why would *this* drama get episodes cut? (Brightside for the Golden Spoon I guess since now they aren't as much competition and GS will get those viewers)

I know the lead actor got married but I would've thought he got married after he finished filming.

The Starbuck instant coffee product placement made me chuckle alot haha
I didn't realize the lead actor had to be the one to show off the products haha

My favourite scene was Min-hyuk giving presents for Prosecutor Na's daughter and telling Prosecutor Na to go home. He's a good friend.

The rest was completely meh... I don't find the humor specially funny. There is nothing new from the past episodes.

I felt kinda off kilter watching this week's episode because on the one hand, I was glad for the high energy quirkiness but on the other hand, it felt kinda weird following all the murder and cover up haha
I felt the same way with the introduction of the artist murder.

Jihoon's antics and the reactions to them make me chuckle. The entire interaction of him trying to buy the car and the guy refusing to sell it was so ridiculous haha (the way he was shaking the car and Mari's reaction to it haha)
Oh! And the ages! Haha (if they said they were in their 20s and no one broke character at least once, kudos to them haha)
That flying leap he took was also pretty hilarious haha
It's so weird this is the same guy from last week's episodes haha

It's really cool to see his out of the box approach to handling things. I liked how he charmed the boss and then used the excuse of a faulty car (from their own dealership) to trap them there.

Oh Minhyunk, he seems sweet or at least he seems like his heart is in the right place haha
How does he go from "there's no shame in having a side hustle" to "but don't have this side hustle, stick to your day job" during a single interaction haha

Aww Mari, looking at him in a new light because she knows more about him but that just make her seem creepy & weirds him out haha

It's interesting that this manages to feel pretty much exactly like the bingo/jerk resident episode(s) to me.

I'm guessing this is the man that had his wife killed?

It's an unfortunate, yet interesting, turn of events with the episode cut announcement. They may be considering a Season 2 situation. I wouldn't really mind that, as long as they do a good set-up to finish what we've seen thus far. But who knows.

@missvictrix, you're absolutely right in stating that the show needs to do some explaining. There are stillso many questions regarding the death of Ji-hoon's fiancee, primarily whether Mari's grandfather is in some way connected to what happened, if Min-hyuk's father was also involved, and many other questions regarding Ji-hoon!

The coffee PPL, too funny! And that new client at the end .... Ji-hoon knows who it is.

I posted this on the wrong thread.. reposting it here.

I find it mind boggling that they would cut down episodes on this highly rated show. Its very odd and the one episode per week until the finale threw the momentum off kilter again. If I didnt like NGM, I may have dropped this show already. The saving grace is always NGM, of course. And his antics as an auto dealer trainee PLUS that scene with Min Hyeok! The pastel-painted car with wings is just icing on the cake.

I watched this to see how they would handle the switch back to the original story and as you say @missvictrix, they didn't. Weird. The reduction in episode count is also strange, particularly as they didn't advance the real storyline one iota this episode.
I wasn't expecting to be as entertained as I was though, I did find the whole shenanigans at the car dealership way funnier than expected.
Let's hope they stick to the main story for the next three episodes though and see it out, indications are they will given the ending of this episode.

I read somewhere this episode had a reference to "taxi 🚕 driver". Please tell me where it was?

I love the previous episode 7&8. Hopefully they'll continue the story in the next episode. Can we have more lawyer Lee (I don't mind if it's flashback..), more Ji-Hun & Min Hyeok & prosecutor Na working together, but less Ma-Ri 😅
