    “In any case, she cannot win against the alliance they’ve formed, so she’d rather be rather be rather be wicked. We must close our eyes for it’s time for the payback. They need to pray to their god cause it’s a dead end.”

OK, parking lot scene at the drive in was hilarious. Popcorn? Really? #FightMyWay

    It’s just so Moo-bin to throw popcorn at his tival instead of doing something bolder.

Nice costuming on the four friends sitting on the bench together. Who knew JooMan could rock the purple suit? That’s positively scandalous for him. #FightMyWay

I think the camera operator on #FightMyWay is drunk today. Really wobbly. WTF?

    In all my shows, I’ve noticed that a lot lately. They need to invest in a tripod.

      Beyond that, the editing was also really bad this week. The camera kept changing angles while AeRa was giving her shut down speech to MooBin instead of just letting Kim Ji Won own the screen and tear into him in what should have been one shot.

        Ah, yeah. If it was a lesser actor, I would understand, but Kim Ji Won doesn’t need any help in owning her scenes.

          Yep. She is capable of doing that so just LET HER BE. Let her do her thing and not get cute with the shots. That whole scene was practically schizo.

I am almost positive there is only one number that matters for what level you are: how many people you follow or follow you. I am unduly obsessed with figuring this out, of course.

    Ha, I’m sure that’s one way! Another way of leveling up is by posting on articles because I just became more active (by commenting on the articles) on DB after a 1+ week of little to no activity, and I leveled up right away.

      I’ve been eyeballing people’s numbers when they move up and it really appears only the follows matter. Not the number of likes or the number of posts/comments/etc.

        oh thats interesting! i leveled up by posting a TON on my fan wall in the course of two-three days…but i think a lot of people also followed me because of that (and i followed them). i assumed i had leveled up because of the fan posts, but maybe you’re onto something and it was the follows. (which makes sense because ive been posting and haven’t leveled up again.)

          I really think that’s it. IF there’s a formula, then follows must be weighted really heavily.

          doh. i just leveled up, but not by following or being followed. it was after a ton (blushes) of comments on fan walls.

      I think I have leveled up right away because of I have been too active (like commenting in almost all articles) 😆 & because of likes (and dislike 😜) as well.

    That’s not the only part. Like for example the DB minions don’t have a lot of followers but the activity on their articles goes in their favour. So basically it’s all round activity throughout the site.

    Many Liar and lover beanies kept levelling up because of the no of comments and upvote on those threads, without them having a lot of followers/following people..

    I don’t follow many poeple but I leveled up quickly twice.

Korean forensics and autopsies must suck if we trust #SuspiciousPartner. They took a case to trial for murder when the autopsy report showed it was an accident. Ugh.

    That wasn’t revealed until after the trial because the mother assumed the son killed the father so she took blame for the murder. When it was revealed that it was an accident, the mother was still going to get convicted for messing with a dead body.

      You do not go to trial for murder without an autopsy. End of Story. No lawyer would.

        They had one but it wasn’t an internal autopsy because they just focused on the head wound and stabbing. The lawyers did mention that it was odd that they didn’t check his medical record, but the prosecution didn’t think they really had to do much since there was a confession…(I don’t really know right procedures or anything and kdramas aren’t known for their accurate portrayal of court/police procedures, but just saying how they justified those actions which made sense to me at least lol)

    Technically, at least in the US, manslaughter is still a type of homicide even if it’s an accident, and thus still a criminal offense.

    I remember because my murder cheat sheet for the bar exam will forever be burned into my mind.

    I was more peeved at the fact that they just took a confession without properly examining the circumstances (abuse, a child, the medication, posthumous stabbing, etc.) and just let the confession alone stand when it was super flimsy at best. That seems like shoddy procedural work. But I may be biased because I’ve done criminal defense work and am primed to question prosecutors.

      I am corporate all the way and still this show has been irking me with its loose treatment of evidence and procedure. Even explaining it away as “Korean Legal System” isn’t patching over all the flaws for me.

        Yeah, I’m more general practice for now (which I hate, but a girl’s gotta be able to afford her fabulous shoes) but plan/want to move more specifically into crim defense and/or civil rights eventually. I mostly just wish trials moved that fast in the US. I usually try to ignore the legal stuff because I just can’t deal. This is why I started watching dramas in the first place.

        But yeah, the handling of evidence made me yell “Have you never heard OJ Simpson?” at the screen during the first two episode, because I’m pretty sure that case is applicable everywhere since it was a procedural and evidentiary shitshow.

        Thank GOD the leads are beyond adorable and the central murder story is compelling.
