Many thanks @pkml3!! Yes, we’re taking a break today on 21st March 2026!!!
We’ll be back NEXT Saturday!!
“Even if I forget who I am, I will never forget the truth about my father”.
Hi @IB, I’ll be back for a while at least but may drop off to sleep early because I’m taking some medication for flu.
I am here. Running a little late.
Hi @GB
@GB Sorry to hear you are feeling under the weather. (What a strange expression that is!)
Hi GB and IF.
@IB, yes indeed … I did wonder why weather had to do with it. Chatgpt tells me:
“The phrase “under the weather” comes from seafaring life, and its original meaning was quite literal.
On ships, when sailors felt sick—often due to rough seas or bad weather—they would go below deck to recover. This area was sheltered from wind, rain, and waves. Being “under the weather” meant you were physically under the effects of the weather and needed to rest.
Over time, the phrase shifted from its nautical context to a general one. By the 19th century, it was commonly used in everyday English to mean:
feeling ill
slightly unwell
not quite oneself
So when someone says, “I’m a bit under the weather,” they’re echoing an old maritime image of someone retreating from harsh conditions to recover.”
Learnt something new today!
Let’s START NOW!!!
Hi @WE…. we’ve just started!
Finally the question of Prosecutor Tak comes out.
Yep, take C vitamin 😉
We start were it was ending previous episode with few scenes repeated, helping to enter into it.
Gyu Man will go mad in this episode.
Tak was hidding himself but part of the good guys.
FL now as main prosecutor is great!!
I remember being so scared when In Ah walks into the dining cubicle. This show! Always destabilizing! But it makes the reveal more fun.
Totally tricked Nam IlH0.
Park Min Young was so pretty at this time.
SHe turned skinned and now I’ve learn she had to loose even more weight (how is it possible?) for her new drama. There will remain just a skeletal acting at this point.
@WE yes, it’s a pity about how Park MY’s looks changed so much and not for the better. Too sickly thin.
Ahahahaah, the salaries of the company speak badly about him when he’s just behind. Kind of blood freezing comedy.
Pro Tak: “there is a reason that I am known as the Prosecutor without a family tree.”
Which is to say, in the fiction of kdrama, he is an unrealistic character. He will not suffer for doing the right thing, his boss actually supports him too.
Previous to this episode, once again the “inexperienced” and “too aggressive” role for the FL. She has to apologize for it too. Very very slow evolution of women’s roles in kdrama.
If only I could be a fly on the wall when k-actresses get together for snacks and drinks.
@WE but the guy gets badly beaten and kicked by spiteful Nam after this. Not too funny.
@GB, the comedy didn’t last long for this poor guy.
But many people were filming or taking photos.
I forgot your funny expression you said last time, about PMY being skinny. What was it?
@WE, I’m afraid I don’t remember what I said about PMY’s thinness. Overall grown more mature looking but gaunt and less attractive.
@WE
Definitely blood-freezing. How far will the maniac NGM go? One says to oneself.
I suppose it is ‘citizen justice’ that all the employees of his own company film NGM beating up the employee and screaming unhinged nonsense, but no one tries to stop it.
Filming something on your phone does not mean that you are released from your obligations as a flesh and blood person.
You all were joking about angles and angular, maybe (re PMY)?
President Il-Ho will choose the sister for the company.. At least she’s the only one who will not going to jail.
@WE I’m more interested in having Soo Beom saved. He’s been tied up and starving for days.
Detective kwak talking to NGM in prison. Last shot is hand on the bible….nice foreshadowing.
@IB, I want to see Gwak in court again.
@GB, aahh, it was a funny way to turn it, by the way you even said the joke twice.. so frustrating, I want to know.. when was it?? Maybe once during a previous drama and maybe in the first episodes of the rewatch?? I remember I made myself another joke of the same kind after.
In-Ah’s Mom still bothers me. I know she really isnt angry because she cant control her daughter, that she behaves this way out of concern. She knows no other way to show love.
Her refusal of her daughter’s relationship with JW seems to be a criticism of her. Does it make a difference that it actually means in context no last minute wedding — audience alert?
@WE that’s too vague. Was it in one of this RWotS Rewatch episodes?
Good to know I inspired you to write a joke!!
Yep, Soo Bum is in bad condition.
He suffers a lot in W2 too, as Soo-bong. ^^
Gyu man just use the most violent way now.
Beating or killing anyone he can.
@WE the comedy here is when Nam gets gangster guys to beat up Dong Ho and is upset that DH’s gangsters get the upper hand.
Now the fight is more equitable.
I like the line of Gyu man:
“you are all the same thugs, so why it’s mine that are loosing?” 🙂
By the way, they could save Soo-Bum?!
Heh, Hong MS still after stuff to help Nam escape. Wants a gold course!!!
@GB, ahah, our lines landed at the same time about the same thing. 😀
@WE yes, we sometimes have the same sense of humour at the same time!!! LOL.
Soo Beom is out!!!
Oh dear, Soo Beom is a coward.
@GB, yeah but hey, let a little time for the character to change his mind. ahah!!
@IF, I would say the same about FL mother, even if honestly I don’t remember if she does it, but probably?
@IB I knew I’d like the scene with Gwak back in court.
The Seo Beom imprisonment was well-done, just enough time to think he would be really dead.
They changed his hairstyle for after the ordeal, to make his forehead look higher and face thinner.
Forgot to give a joyous shout-out to the striped tie and polka dot shirt (DongHo sported’ in his moment of juvenilia. Sticking his tongue out at Nam IlHo?
I would be terrified of having my tongue cut off.
@WE its a platonic love all the way. Hopes get raised by that pink strawberry parfait scene, but then dashed by Mom realist. He has no future and so on and so forth…
@WE Yay, Soo Beom changed his mind!!! Good to see him standing up and walking on his own to tell the truth.
So glad they saved Seo Beom. He saved their case in court! Hurray for SangHo the faithful backstairs buddy! Hurray for the handsome DongHo!
Arf, you are ahead.
I’m in the scene when the bad cop is the witness.
@WE, I was impatient. At least I’m not sleepy after all. Good courtroom scenes.
sorry @WE, will slow down. I just started the defense last statement.
@IB @WE is that a new song when JW goes home or was it in the earlier episodes as well?
Hah! Sister Nam is going to do her part.
Well, not a spoiler I watched the drama once, didn’t rewatch this episode, but it was sounding an obvious character change.
What is great, it’s not even the trial of Gyu Man, so we can see Jin-Woo as lawyer. It’s quite a trick to get ML and FL involved in trial scenes at this point.
It’s quite an important step:
– For Jin Woo personaly
– To clear the way (previous suspect not guilty) so the trial of Guy Man is valid for looking to the real culcript.
@WE, the next funny scene is with the helicopter.
@GB yes, the song, I hadnt heard it in the show before! It has the same melody as an old civilrights song, I think, but different words. It really made the end of the trial/home scene fell perfect and sad.
@WE, thanks for saying that, I was wondering what the trial structure was. It is cut into two parts.
Gosh, the sister found the passport of her brother.
Suspens scene, she try to hide it.
Guy Man: “I can’t go in prison unfairly”. What a nerve. Insane!
Hi All, here are the dates for the next rewatch…

Episode 8 – 30 May 2026
I have yet to finish the run through of this new show. I did watch it before. But nothing much stuck in my mind about it.
@IB yes, we are stuck with the 40th episode because we still need to see Nam in court to defend himself.
@GB, I was moved by the end of the court scene. JW’s final statement wasnt legal, it was emotional. His truth.
And the condolences/sort of apology by the main justice and then the bow by all three was really affecting.
Since I have started cdrama, the emotive virtues of kdrama stand out more clearly. The restructuring and reconciliation of the original community.
@GB, thanks!! This short drama with short episodes will give us some time to breath (and go to bed early for some, ahah), and also be conforted by an adorable cat. ^^
@IB, yes, kdramas are always good at giving us the warm, touching feels. This drama however seems out to just eke out negative emotions over and over, and happy emotions very seldom!!!
@WE, we can take a break … however we still have to go back to that table of votes we have to see which has the highest scores. We either just choose 1 from there or if there’s a tie, we can just vote between the ones with the tie.
OK bye @IB and @WE!! It was a great party! I stayed awake!!! But I’m going to hit the sack now. Good night!
Cliffhanger: Gyu Man arrested. So last episode will be dense, final trial and… the real end… not sad but… devastating one, just one of the Top5 best ending I ever watched in a kdrama.
ooh, that was a good ending scene. I had forgotten about the helipcopter, @GB!
But the face shots of the three — GyuMan, InAh and JinWoo are good-looking and somehow cheering. It has been such a tense and claustrophobic set of episodes that I was even happy to see the characters driving around during the day in space and sunlight.
Everything is out in the open. Visual metaphor.
@GB, yep, I completed my votes but don’t know yet how it is now. If some show are equal about best score, then need a direct vote. Have a good night! And heal well for flu.
@IF, have a good week too. I’ve to go now.
@GB Good night! It was lots of fun being together for 19, although 16 is still my favorite episode.
@WE, good times.
Until next week.
