I gave up on this show after last week because as mentioned Kokdu is infinitely more interesting and entertaining when he's doing his avenging deity thing and Gye Jeol wanting to change him to be a "better person" is just trying to ruin the only appealing thing about him.

I don't think I like melodrama but I agree, Kokdu's story might've been way better if this wasn't a romance. At this point I don't even know if it's due to the character or the actress but Gye Jeol is so grating to me. Maybe I'm just really not into her type of character; the stupidly romantic, accept mistreatment with a smile type.

I can't believe that Kokdu's main purpose was to send terrible people to the afterlife and they took that away in like week 3.

Cheol is really the more interesting one because he actually uses his head. He seems competent at his job and he speaks directly and honestly. While I wasn't a fan of how narcissitic the doctor was, constantly insisting that he was interested in her, I did like their bickering banter dynamic.

When the drama is over, will there be a list of the tropes covered because wow, are they running the gammit. Now we leave the countryside for the city?

I'm sure this isn't the WORST drama and it probably has people who are enjoying it but it just makes me think @daebakgrits deserves flowers for putting up with this. Kudos to you💐

retcon the whole thing by deleting a conversation and pretending it never happened

Did they really just act like a scene they'd already shown never happened 🤣??

I'm so glad I gave up on this. It's far funnier when I just read the recaps. Completely agree that punisher god Kokdu would be a much better show. Maybe give him an enemies-to-not-quite-lovers dynamic with Cheol and get rid of the girls. That's a show I'd watch.

no sorry lmao i cant believe they just said oopsies and ctrl-z on an entire conversation (they really said out of sight out of mind) LMAOOO if only that couldve been done for countless other kdramas i've watched previously :'))))

So this finally degenerated into WT* did I just watch? And we have 6 more episodes to go. This one will benefit so much from a 4 episode cut. At least it'll be more cohesive.
For a moment I thought Kokdu is filmed weekly thanks to the Ctrl X the editing team pulled. What in the name of creation is that.

I like cops that are intelligent. I don't like cops that are strong-headed and one way traffic. And Cheol happens to be both. You really want to arrest him when he comes in to file a formal complaint against the mortal enemy? Really? What kinda stupid thing is that? The brain in my head will tell me that I should use Kokdu to catch Kim Pilsu and when all is done, have Kokdu stand for his crimes. Now we are going to have to stretch matters that should be stretched but in the most agonizing way ever - with the villain gloating in his office.

Can someone port Gye-jool out of Kokdu's vicinity. I don't like the lady one bit. How can a FL be so troublesome and nonsensically chaotic under the guise of morality. Please please please.

A waste of time...to start anyway. Could use it to review Taxi Driver, since it is has a better rating

While the drama itself gets the exactly right amount of ratings and bad reviews it deserves, our boy Kkokdu surely deserved better - both than this show and this womanchild. Every time I think that maybe Gye Jeol is not completely hopeless, girl just does something and disappoints me even further. She has not right to be upset at 3K's supposed relationship issues - namely avoiding responsibility post-kiss - when she's the one ghosting him at every opportunity presented and avoiding any relationship upgrade HE offers like a plague. Does she even LIKE - let alone love - him when the script doesn't directly tell her to proclaim so? Cause, you know, it's hard to believe that when 3K genuinely thinks they are just few steps away from marriage while she doesn't even treat him like her boyfriend! Talk about not being on the same page in relationship... Contract of protection, my ass. That racy lingerie she packed (again - why, if you don't believe him when he says you two are lovers?!) is totally going to be wasted... Same with 3K's very beautiful - and touching - confession (and good thing he didn't tell it to GJ directly!) that he just wants her to remember and miss him when he's gone. It's REALLY heartbreaking that he has no wishes or dreams bigger than that, but this drama is way too trashy for such a grand soul baring, so ofc this great moment didn't last or had any real impact *sigh*

Fake chaebol makjang drama - staged and acted out by 3K - was unexpectedly fun in it's ridiculousness. You know, take away the stupid romance/curse/reincarnation storyline and it could've been a decent dark comedy about totally-not-grim-reaper landing of Earth into scandalous illegitimate chaebol's (maybe) body. The family drama, the hijinks of hiding from paparazzi's to punish another sinner! Ah, the opportunities wasted...

While the reveal that Dr Bitch is not the mean rich snob, but a mean fake rich snob with lots of secret family issues instead was somewhat refreshing, Cheol is still way out of her league, double-digit IQ notwithstanding. We're supposed to believe that someone like her warmed up to him THIS MUCH after one knightly gesture? Oh, right, she has a thing for puppy-like boys - the fact that was totally NOT forced down our throats aggressively all of sudden...Sorry, he deserves much better than you (and Gye Jeol, for all her faults, did not sin nearly enough in her life to deserve YOU as a sister-in-law), lady. Go find yourself some mean rich snob doctor to be mutually unhappy with and leave the good puppy alone.

The way I laughed in episode 7. The drama is seriously hilarious. This is my so bad it is good drama. This entire drama is nonsense but Kim Jung Hyun has gorgeous comedic timing and Im Soo Hyang isn't terrible herself, despite the terribleness of the drama.

Add me to the list of people who can't be assed to continue watching this thing, but I'm here for the hilarious recaps and commentary. I really want a glimpse into the brains of the people who created this. Were they high? Is there money laundering involved? Who the hell read this script and went, 'yup, here's something I want to invest time, money, and talent into'?? I have so many questions.

As I said last week, there's elements in this that could've been shaped into a really great drama (and I will say a lot of the comedic elements were genuinely funny) but instead we have five dramas worth of tropes and "plot" (I use that term loosely) with zero focus, incredibly sloppy writing (can't believe they retconned a whole ass conversation), and what might be the most unlikable female lead to ever grace my screen. At first I thought a better actress could've made her into someone I could root for (and honestly, give me two leads I actually like, add a fun romance, toss in some fantasy, and I'm willing to overlook many a drama's flaws) but it's become clear that she's an unsalvageable caricature of a woman slapped together to propel this questionable story forward. (Sorry for all the parentheticals.)

Anyway, thank you for the recap DaebakGrits. As they say in older K-dramas: FIGHTING!

🤪🤪🤪Are you sure this show does not have to be watched backwards at 1.5x speed to reveal the real plot/some sense?🤪🤪🤪

The recaps are infinitely better than the drama itself. The plot is just plain idiotic and makes no sense; Daebakgrits does an heroic job of trying to look on the (un)bright side and pick out the rapidly-reducing good bits, but in the end the whole thing is a mess. I just hustle through looking at KJH and feeling sad the such a great actor (CLOÁ and Mr. Queen) has signed up for such an unconvincing load of rubbish. I'm more than willing to suspend disbelief - in general - but the unbelievable dottiness of this whole farce has driven me to watch it in Korean WITHOUT subtitles because, genuinely, I don't care WHAT they are saying. (Sighs heavily and exits Stage Left, to a sound of thunder, cowbells, breaking glasses and a string quartet.) Mutter mutter mutter!

Thanks for the recap, DaebakGrits! I finished episode 9, but haven't found a reason to pick up ep 10. Maybe when I'm going some massive chore?

I still enjoy the banter, but everything is boring when they stop bantering. The drama is just jerking the characters around in order to get from point A to point B. No regard to who the characters really are. It just bugs me that GJ have much of a life to enjoy outside of interacting with Kokdu and won't have much of a life afterwards. She barely has any patients. It's not like my life is all that exciting either, but at least I look like I enjoy the things I do, and I have friends to hang out with.

This drama is a nonsensical and illogical show. The editing, directing and the flow of the storyline is kind of choppy and lack of connection. The only highlight for me is Kim Jung Hyun as Kokdu! 😀 I have always like talented and versatile actor Kim Jung Hyun since crash landing on you and Mr Queen. He is able to balance out his over the top character with the right comedic elements. He managed to play three type of characters and portray them differently. Our crazy, flashy, adorable and dark Kokdu is definitely the most attractive one. His acting is natural and fun at the same time. I wish this show emphasise more on Kokdu and his dark missions rather than a rather “forced” romance with the female lead. Kim Jung Hyun can carry the show by his shoulders. Don’t get me wrong, they looked compatible in terms of appearance. However, their characters in this drama just does not connect as much as I wanted them to be. Gye Jeol is kind of annoying sometimes with her acting cute and innocence. She is just another uninteresting predictable Korean female lead that behave like a teen when she is already in her thirties. Her acting is decent but forgettable. Last but not least, I do agree with the author point of view. For me, I will continue to watch this drama solely for Kim Jung Hyun but I will never rewatch again. 😂
