    I think the ending was not very memorable, because I can't remember it anymore hahaha.

    Ep1 Kim Ji Won is real frosty! While Kim Soo Hyun is a little “nuah” (soft/too accommodating) as the long suffering husband. He wants a divorce but knows that he will be destroyed by the family if he leaves so he hesitates. The wife obviously still loves him. They married for love so I wonder what happened that the relationship deteriorated to this state. Maybe the wife has a plan but can’t openly stand up for him and he mistook that. The best scene is the one with Oh Jung Se, the therapist! So funny. I hope his is a recurring cameo. Kim Ji Won’s clothes are nice! So is the interior decor. One thing that bothers a little is they used the exact location of Binjin’s wedding and the same flower decor (though not as abundant) and the same display of photos for the OTP’s wedding. As BJ’s wedding was private, this seems an intrusion. Hopefully the writer at least sought agreement from Binjin.

    Hmmm, I think I will decide whether to watch after you review ep 3-4 😅

    I'm at 3.5, and watching with a lot of FFWD. They need to do something about Ji Han and Do Han's hair! I swear, only korean actors go around with their fringe down like that or parted in the middle with a little wave/curl Anyway, MSM, though quite cute, lacks a bit of gravitas for the role. Somehow he's not very convincing as a suave and charming young man. The part where he told Ah Jung he will seduce her so she will fall for him - I looked at him like Ah Jung looked at him - highly sceptical. Not with that hair (with a little sideburn omg), I thought 😆. It was a bit cringy to me, because he seemed like a cocky little boy, talking big. Then booking the whole business class section etc, where does he get the money? He has a lowly job, grandfather doesn't like him but gives him a lot of money? Mother left him inheritance? Now, I'm just waiting for the day he is appointed heir of the family business, and then surely they must comb his hair up then, right?! Actually I don't get this plot line at all. Shouldn't he be happy that grandfather has accepted the marriage and will still appoint Do Han to manage the company? Why is he trying to break them up? (Apart from being subconsciously in love with Ah Jung). Chae Won seems like a decent girl. Considering they are showing her story, who is she expected to end up with?

    Haha, yes I did. Only 6 episodes so was a easy watch. Not bad but not exceptional. He doesn't look so good there lol.

    I fast forwarded most of the last episode 😆 Sadly, Su Min's revenge plan was remarkably simplistic and disappointing. But at the end of the day, she was never portrayed as intelligent, just a schemer who had some small success when no one was aware of her intentions. I thought the same, but also wondered how effective that could be. This drama has a fantasy element, so everything that cannot be explained, we just say, "it's fantasy" 😂 Hahaha, but now we know the reason for her role. It's to take Jin Hyuk's fate! @gilaswan In the webtoon, how was Jin Hyuk saved? In summary, this drama was better than expected. I enjoyed most of it. 8/10 for entertainment value 8/10 for the supporting actors 6/10 for intricasies of the plot 6/10 for the main leads

    @mademoiselle You were right! It was a set up 😂 Ep 15 was quite good, I thought. In fact, it now seems a more interesting ending than the webtoon. I like that they left Su Min till the end to plot her revenge on Ji Won. My takeaways from this episode: 1. All the scenes with Su Min are super interesting. That scene with Ji Hyuk at the bar, at least the writer didn't dumb her down. Her questions and Ji Hyuk's answers were unexpected. I also thought Na In Woo had one of his better scenes here. He was "plotting" instead of just showing his morose expression. 2. Park Min Young is better as a villianess than a romance lead hahaha. At least I can then dislike her legitimately lol. Her scene with Su Min at the lift was great! The actress playing Su Min is also wonderful conveying her uncertainty/"vulnerability" - very subtle. Ep 20

    Can't seem to find the story anymore. The link just brings you back to the main synopsis. You try? https://www.novelupdates.com/series/love-like-the-galaxy/ I think you mentioned that in the novel, the 3 male leads were quite equal. So I wondered about that. I quite like YSJ in the drama.

    I have no idea what the criteria is anymore haha. But that's a good point.

    That's such a mouthful hahaha. LBY is a man of few words! The novel writer or the screenwriter? I recommended my dad to watch this, but he couldn't take the noisy grandmother / a bunch of women quarelling 😂 There are some changes in characters between the book and drama, so I am quite lost on those. I tend to just skip it as I really only want to read the parts between SS and YSJ and LBY, and see what's the difference in the overall plot.
  12. Chocolate
    I highly doubt that! 🤣 If that were so, likely there would be another twist on why Ji Won's fate was not fully transferred - because they didn't really DO IT hahahah. I take the fully clothed thing as just one of those fails from all these dramas. The woman is always clothed in some manner, which is unrealistic but necessary because this is afterall fiction lol.

    Wah your man is so valuable! LOL!

    I thought his 我來了 is quite romantic 😂 I tried reading the properly translated novel. But the translator was releasing it quite slowly so I lost momentum. Will try to continue. In my whole lifetime (and that's quite long hahaha), I think I can only say there are 4 top-notch c-dramas in my list: - The Empress of China - Yanxi Palace - Love Like the Galaxy - Fake It Till You Make It

    A Shop for Killers would be 8/10. Shadow Detective starts off slow, but the story picks up. Not the fast fast kind, but the plot is quite good. From the start, I found it hard to reconcile CWS as a hero figure. Before he started his killing spree, his character was average - he cheated on his girlfriend and did he steal from someone? I can't remember now. Anyway, his is not the kill and save the world kind of mentality. He stumbled into it, and it so happened that the 2 he killed were evil. I thought that was the point of the drama - that he has a "talent" and will spontaneously come across those who deserve to die. So when he had a sidekick who would FIND the victims for him, it was no longer a paradox to me. That's just vigilante justice, which after watching so many dramas, my personal opinion is the cons outweigh the pros, generally speaking. In fact, I think LHJ's story was more compelling. It felt justified that he was pushed to the limit and thus battered SSK's father in the spur of the moment. Thus, I was quite sad when SSK shot him. His father deserved it and SSK, I wish, could have accepted that.

    That would be equivalent to 3 X Jang Shin Yu, so DEFINITELY NOT 🤣🤣🤣

    Thanks @gilaswan for the summary from the webtoon. That sounds more interesting than our last few episodes - was Su Min being abused by the MIL very badly to lead her to kill MIL? Actually if we look at Min Hwan's character, even if Ji Won did not do anything, he is destined to cheat. I also don't understand why the ex-fiancee would sleep with Min Hwan. Surely, it was not necessary to her plan for him to help breakup JW and JH - just need to throw money at him. From her perspective, wouldn't it be quite an "eeeewwww" kind of feeling 😅

    You're welcome! I have so many points I don't know what to do with them 😂 At least the mystery box has a chance of winning - it's 10-25% chance roughly. The numbers box is impossible - 1% chance - how to accurately guess the correct number from 1-100? 😅
  19. Chocolate
    $200M! I don't think Singapore has such high numbers. I'm going to participate this year and cross fingers! Er, Jang Sin Yu... 🤣
  20. Chocolate
    I think I netted over 2000 pts from 20+ boxes. In your case, I lost money because the boxes cost 2000 but you only won 200 haha. I had better luck than you, but then again, this year is supposed to be very auspicious for my animal sign! The conclusion is, it is better to just give out the points rather than buy the boxes 😂 But if you want to give a present and not a red packet, then you should give 20 boxes at least so the the other party is not disappointed!
  21. Chocolate
    Haha great! I was experimenting.

    Today is everybody's birthday. So Happy Birthday! And that mystery box thing - I opened 3 boxes myself and the message is "Sorry you didn't win this time. Try again." I am going to buy a hundred boxes and see what the probability is. So dear friends, just know that it is the thought that counts! 😅 Edit: I did a test with 20+ boxes and won 5 times with haven points ranging from 200 to 800. I think I almost break even with the cost of the boxes. But the wins only came after you have opened about 10 boxes, then it came quite frequently. So I should be sending you 20 boxes at a time for you to have any chance of winning! I shall send 20 boxes to @mademoiselle to test! Win or not, a message will pop up at the top of the My Items screen. Please open all of them at one go. Maybe the system knows when you are a BIG customer and rewards you more at the end haha. Wah, that bad huh? Poor boy 😂 Not easy to grow up on national TV. Everyone knows whether you are experienced or not.

    I watch from ep8 onwards, when she said LBY admires her but she is not interested to all the bitchy ladies, and then just let it run while I work. The parts that I will stop and pay attention are: Hahaha. Was that the original chinese version? I have some links here but not the titanic part: https://janghaven.com/topic/1138-amidst-a-snowstorm-of-love-在暴雪时分-premieres-feb-2nd/?do=findComment&comment=104087 https://janghaven.com/topic/1138-amidst-a-snowstorm-of-love-在暴雪时分-premieres-feb-2nd/?do=findComment&comment=104152 Although I am not quite sure what is a titanic scene. I only remember them in that famous scene doing that Christ the Redeemer pose, and on a sofa 🤣

    Hahaha it's true. I am quite sad that in the last few episodes, Su Min, didn't do much except throw tantrums. Min Hwan was also shouting a lot which was very noisy. Nevertheless, I still find this pairing more interesting than the main leads lol and they do act a lot better, but if I said that on twitter, I'd probably get bashed! I am also puzzled by Ji Hyuk's inability to do anything to the ex-fiancee. Is his family not richer than hers? Why can she buy off the police regarding the car accident, and he can't even find out who caused it? Hahaha I am also losing interest, but since there are only 2 episodes left, will peservere! This transfer of fate thing - @gilaswan how was it in the webtoon? Is it the same as the drama ie. Ms Kang also got the cancer, but later transferred back to Su Min because Min Hwan was having an affair with the ex-fiancee? On the side, I also feel quite sorry for Su Min because she really is treated very badly by Min Hwan, until the next evil thing she says... You were right @mademoiselle Ji Won is impetuous. She tends to act before the situation is fully resolved, which is risky. Which is exactly what happened in ep14. Why dump Min Hwan so sudddenly just because she knows he is already having an affair with another woman? She forgot that he has violent tendencies. And then, please, we have all wached enough TV to know that if someone is threatening you, please take off your super high heels and go run and hide in some room where you can lock the door 🙄 I was almost at the point of thinking, just kill her please. So disappointing that Ji Hyuk turned up 😂 What is the drama after this ends?
  25. Chocolate
    @mademoiselle It ends properly. Acting not bad. Story telling is decent. But this is not one of those must watch type. I think Shadow Detective is better than this.
