Can't keep track of the characters and timelines!

Korean series are a challenge for a lot of Anglos because of the characters' names being hard to recognize and remember. This series adds flash forwards and flash backs and having different actors play the same characters in the different timelines and that all adds to the problem of keeping track of who is whom.

I had to just stop watching in the middle of episode 2-I just could not figure out who was missing, who was murdered, when did things happen and how were these people related?

I was up for putting in effort and paying close attention and still I just couldn't figure out what was going on!

Im basically a fan of Korean detective series, but couldn't watch this one.

Bummers.

It is quite strange to say this but this series really has some similarities with the Indian series " Sacred Games" specially in the part of that cult and what they wanted to achieve, their plan to recreate that gas attack again and kill people of that whole town, the police officer who was connected and the mastermind's father part where the police officer was giving him water and most importantly this " Guru" thing who's the mastermind of all. Though this series doesn't have the same storyline as that Indian one but it is somehow similar if you try to think about only the major parts. Though I think it can be coincidence that these similarities are there but deep down I'm still in dilemma whether it's really a coincidence or this series is inspired from Sacred Games!!

I got so fed up with those still interviews with this so called Guru prisoner who can turn people to murderers. The loss of life is senseless to say the least, ineffective affected, sad and angry no nothing cop makes it worse. All this cause of some bloodline child, like the devil's child The way the guru prisoner talks is so exhausting I started forwarding his scenes, if he knows everything then why not just end everything. So disappointed 😞.

The schools girls were the only perfect thing, there love for their lost friend and the togetherness was beautiful. I almost just want to watch the last episode so that the last 7 to have meant something.

At first liked it... Then became very slow and very stale.. the producers tried their best to make it a suspense thriller but ended becoming slow and a bit sleep inducing boring.

Also, y r u creating a problem that never existed?

I mean India and South Korea always had an amazing relationship. We respect each other a lot and find a lot of similarities in each other's culture and so feel very related to each other (most probably cz of the spread of Buddhism in Korea long time ago and also being an Easter race just like Indian-dravidians).

The series tries it's best to target and insult India/Hindu ideologies even tho it doesn't touch any of them at all.. pretty weird.

It's like when America was discovered but mistaken as India which is why we have the racial term "red/native Indians" This series does the very same by antagonizing hindi that too by totaly mispronouncing and misinterpreting every syllable of Hindi. Showing as sanskrit mantra and yoga as marker of the ongoing "evil force".. My question is WHY???

Tbh bit weird but in interesting wtf Way Kept my attention was not bored. Just not sure where it was going As I had no clue of plot One thing the bloke who was in jail Was spookily good even voice/ too Will watch end But not sure if will ff some sciences as some r not needed.
