This series will surely be in almost all Baeksang nomination categories and I have a feeling this will also be nominated in 2025 Emmy Awards. I wouldn’t be surprised if IU and Bo Gum won for Best Actress and Best Actor in Baeksang. The only people who won’t like this series will probably be those who find slice-of-life theme boring.

This series, along with its cast, will be a strong contender to wipe out other nominees in BAFTA and Emmys. The only other strong contender for Emmys would probably be Squid Game 2. Everyone was perfectly cast for their roles, but admittedly, Redmayne was the star. He shifts into his disguises very believably, but the changes of emotions he went through as he juggled his identity as the Jackal and a husband of a woman who just found the abominable layers of her husband’s life was noteworthy. The man went through it all; the boiling anger that he had to mute down, the worry, frustration, desperation and you will sit there wondering if he’ll ever implode and just off everyone. Looking forward to S2 indeed. Haven’t been this excited for a Western series in a long time.

A great movie. Very entertaining, unexpected plot that keeps viewers guessing. 2 characters’ intention were not shown until more than half of the movie, which added to the mystery. There were funny moments, too. Not the cringy type, but funny. The ending was also great and totally unexpected. Would love for this movie to have a good sequel, with a plot that makes sense, not just to attract audience. Hats off to the director who insisted that Kim Seon Ho stay as the main antagonist, to KSH himself who totally went out of his comfort zone, and to the main lead who’s a new actor. Great overall cast. Great plot. Great directing. Great action sequences.

The story is actually pretty good and so is the cast, but for some reason, I just cannot like the female lead. I find her character just too bitchy and arrogant for my taste. Perhaps this is why I grew to dislike looking at the actress too. But her chemistry with male lead is definitely good. I cannot bear to finish watching it, honestly. Off to find another series to watch.

This drama will make you cry and laugh with each unfolding episode. There is no over-the-top, overly romantic lines or story arch from any of its characters, but that's the charm of it: you get to see real people dealing with real problems, be it their patients, their own, or their parents. Netflix tagged this as heartfelt and the description couldn't be more apt. It is heartfelt; it is a drama that emphasizes the importance of loving your family and friends.
