Perhaps, as someone else said, there is a one year time skip. If that’s the case, it’s probably like normal life where ACH has received an excellent offer and has probably moved on to another hospital. I wonder if the other head resident who was in season 1 will appear. Probably not since it looked like he moved on too. I guess by changing the characters it shows that life continues on like it would in real life. It’s sad yet exciting.

@Sleepy Owl, yep, I’m thinking the villain storyline is probably the greedy corporate people. Since we only have eight episodes left, maybe the story of the fire of the orphanage and more about the corporate fight will take up future episodes. They also have to find CYA and of course Wook’s story and ahjussi’s story of his missing daughter will be explored.

Same! I think we will get it. But I think it will be in her own way. She was already unhappy with her fellow intern being rude about Joon Young. Everyone seems to talk about him without actually looking him the face. While Song Ah had no problem telling her softly that she liked him playing "that night" more. She is already more honest to him than anyone.
Just like the female Maestro. She praised him but on the balcony she told him not to try too hard to please.
Judging from the preview... it also looks like Dong Yoon will catch her playing the violin and seems more in awe than anything. Like he doesn't look at her like she is playing badly. And I actually think she might not have the best technique but in the end her heart is in it.
Yes, Song Ah has her own way with words. Just look at the way she gently scolded Joon Young about hiding the truth from her though he was well intentioned. I also enjoy her honesty with Joon Young about his performances. I also really appreciated the female maestro’s encouragement of Joon Yoon on the balcony. It’s one of the scenes that touched me a lot so far especially since I thought it was well timed considering he kept hearing people put down his talent in favor of the other successful Korean pianist.
You are right. Perhaps Song Ah’s technique is not the best right now but her music can still touch others. I mean, she had a very late start. I don’t expect her to be as good as violinists who were playing from a young age. Like Chiaki-senpai said in the Nodame Cantabile anime, he can play the violin so well because he played it since he was a child until his nose bled. In other words, it was his hard work and consistency that made him a superb violinist and pianist. Song Ah will improve but I don’t know how far she will succeed in their industry. In the end, I hope she will have a clear path for her career.

I don’t understand why Jung Kyung would play with both friends like this? Is she so selfish? I kind of dread a falling out between Hyun Ho and Joon Young because of her.

Ah, I can’t help feeling sorry that a unique chance to save Nam Gook was missed. If only Wook and the detective had shared information instead of being on the defensive when he visited the pawn shop while looking at the CCTV, this might have saved Nam Gook because the detective at least had already realized that there was a possibility that it was a serial murder. At least if they had taken Nam Gook in for questioning, he might have been saved. So sad really.
I also entertained the thought that perhaps CYN is in a coma but why the heck is she in a village for the dead instead of hovering in a hospital or in her apartment or hanging around the detective? Honestly, I would like if she’s alive for her sake, for the detective sake and to defy his mother’s will. These mothers sure like to scorn people who don’t know their parentage.
So, they were killed because the lady at the corporation wants to pass her shares down to an abandoned grandchild. The picture she has does look like CHY though. I hope she’s alive but I don’t want to get my hope up.

@gracebkk @Jillia I also don’t like that CDH tried to guilt-trip Joon Young into committing an interview to sell his personal story. He did it underhandedly too because the manager didn’t agree with his pitch to have Joon Young do it. I hope that even if it happens there are consequences for CDH. People shouldn’t live their lives taking advantage of other people’s wounds like he wants to do. It’s obvious that he will get a perk from this action according to the conversation he had on his cell phone with another party. Also, the staff at the foundation seem to look down on Joon Young as an artist. I mean, do they really need to put down his ability every time? They’re so negative and gossipy. The manager and Song Ah are the only ones that act with propriety.

@ck1Oz, in my mind there’s no expiration date on dating a friend’s ex-boyfriend. It’s just plain weird to me. That’s why I say it’s more palatable to me, if it did happen, that the friendship was abandoned between Song Ah and Min Sung. I can only imagine the weirdness of a guy having intimate relations with two friends albeit at separate times.

@Jillia, I know the feeling. Thanks so much for the gifs of that hug.
They look so good together. I love that moment.
About the love triangle with Song Ah, was she seriously going to date her friend’s ex-boyfriend? That is so odd to me. I would think that she would have had to end her friendship with Min Sung. No doubt they would have both feel uncomfortable.

@Jillia, I absolutely adored Kim Min Jae in Joseon Flower Agency. It’s the first time I saw him in a drama where he was the main lead. I saw him in other drama shows though like Goblin and The Best Hit. He’s definitely an actor whose shows I intend to watch after I fell for him in Joseon Flower Agency. I can’t wait to see more of him in this drama.

@Jillia, nice catch with that quintet gif. The pain of unrequited love and misunderstandings. Well, I think Joon Young and Song Ah give off the same kind of melancholy and quietness. I would really like to see them come alive and hopefully that will be through music, friendship and if it’s their mutual wish, love.

I’m glad that lady who was at the violin recital gave advice to Joon Yong. I think it was needed since he probably felt a little discouraged after hearing what that intern said about his playing. People need to realize that in this vast world there will always be somebody who is better at something than they are. So what will they do after they encounter somebody who does it better? Quit?
Hyeon Ho seems deeply in love with Jung Kyung. I was getting annoyed with him in the beginning scene where he sat with Joon Yong in the park. I wondered why everything he said relates back to Jung Kyung. However, after their backstory later in the episode, I realized he’s very much in love with his girlfriend. I just hope Joon Young will eventually get over her. I don’t like the way she does things. It’s like she wants to engage and keep Joon Young’s attention as well.
I’m looking forward to Joon Young and Song Ah becoming friends. Joon Young seems very lonely. Song Ah seems very shy. Maybe getting to know each other will them to grow as individuals and musicians. I don’t know what’s up with troublesome parents abounding in Korean drama but I hope Joon Young doesn’t have to keep getting saddled with his parents foolish financial decisions. It sounds like his father is an irresponsible person.

Preview for episode 3
Kocowa still haven’t released episode 2 yet so I haven’t seen it.

I looked up what Naeil Cantabile was and it’s basically the SK adaptation of Japanese manga Nodame Cantabile. While I have never watched the SK adaptation, I have watched the Japanese anime several times and I just love the music in the anime and watching Chiaki’s story more so than Nodame’s story. He was a consummate musical protege and worked really hard to become a orchestra conductor.
It looks like Joon Young is suffering a set back according to what the rude orchestra conductor was saying while gossiping about Joon Young because he refused to team up with him again. I like that Joon Young refused him.

The Rachmaninov piece that Park Joon Young played with the orchestra took me back to Chiaki senpai playing the same piece with an orchestra in Japanese anime Nodame Cantabile. It’s such a beautiful piece of music.
Well, it seems that Park Joon Young is in love with his best friend’s fiancée? I didn’t know that there’s a story about Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann and Clara Schumann where basically the same relationship dynamic was suspected. I guess that’s where the question “Do you like Brahms?” becomes the title since Chae Song Ah poses the question to Park Joon Young and he responded that he didn’t like Brahms and it seems he never plays Brahms music. Interesting. I hope by the end of the drama he plays Brahms music.

I just finished watching episode 2 and I really liked it. I think the detective’s fiancée might indeed be dead by the looks of the preview. Maybe this case will get him more involved in Missing Persons. I kind of get Ghost Whisperer feelings from the way Wook acts as a bridge between the deceased and the living.

I immediately got a Sixth Sense vibe in this drama after the village was introduced. I even began to wonder if the conman was dead but then I saw in the preview for episode 2 that he rejoined his friends. I don’t have much fortitude for the creepy but I must admit the mystery interests me.

@Lmangla, if that’s the show’s overarching theme, that as long as you admit your mistakes and apologize, then the character is basically good, I cannot agree with it’s assertion. Admitting his mistakes doesn’t make the editor good, imo. However, I can see how these “morally deficient” characters would think that it makes the editor good. In fact, I would argue that the editor framing of OJT runs counter to anything truly “good” people would do. To me he comes off as playing “the judge” or God here. He got to decide Lee Dae Chil’s death by pushing for his execution, he got to decide to expose himself rather than let someone else expose him, he got to decide his own death to garner sympathy and he got to pay back OJT for blackmailing him with the video showing his murder of another “depraved” cop who raped his sister. By no means do I think what the editor did makes him a good person.
In all honesty, I thought these characters were pretty morally deficient. Almost all of them. I said a while ago that the only morally Good Detective I saw in this show was the dead cop who didn’t seem to compromise on doing the right thing. It’s pretty sad to me that I still think that the justice system remained the same by the end of the show. I still give the show many props for telling a good story even though I find most of the characters morally reprehensible. People are not perfect but I think when it comes to murder, the taking of human life, there is no excuse for not doing the right thing.

I also didn't like how people were towards Yoo Jung Seok, not just the characters (I get he was your boss but come on) but even the show was trying to push this angle that he was sort of a good guy - as if he didn't kill someone and then make an innocent man die for it. I get that they're showing the grey but that articular aspect I didn't think was well done.
Sorry to cut your post but I wanted to highlight your comment in particular about the newspaper editor. I also felt that the show was glossing over the murder he committed but then I later decided that it was the characters such as the reporter and her coworkers who took this view. I think what decided it for me was when the video of him committing the murder was shown in court. The people in the courtroom basically cried out when they saw the murder on screen and it looked to me as though they were rightfully horrified by it. So much so that the prosecutor seemed visibly troubled by the distraction of the video precisely because of the impact it had on the judge and the court room attendees. By exposing the video, which the editor tried to bury because he didn’t want his family to see it, the show basically showed that what he did in the dark eventually came to light in all it’s sordid detail. Although we didn’t see it, I’m sure reporters in the court room probably wrote about it.
From start to finish, the only death that saddened me was that of Lee Dae Chul. I still think a lot more people should have been punished but atlas, I guess I can settle for the main ones. I can’t say that I don’t have mixed feelings about the frame up of OJT. I suppose this is poetic justice for him considering an innocent man was framed for his crime but it doesn’t sit well with me that the detectives and the prosecution basically decided to turn a blind eye to the very real possibility that he was framed. I guess in their minds the ends justify the means.
I still think this show was very good. The characters all have very critical moral flaws though and I really hope I never meet anybody like them in real life who is willing to cover for murderers and take the lives of people trivially. I do wonder how they would feel to be on the receiving end of that type of injustice just like Lee Dae Chul.

@Lmangla, those are very good points. Nicely explained as well. I guess ultimately it depends on a person’s moral compass. I could never do anything that allows a man’s death even if it meant sacrificing my career. It’s probably because I strongly believe in my sin (Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin) against the person visiting me again in a worse way. I wouldn’t call it “karma” since that’s from another belief system but basically it works like that. When I see the people who set LDC up, it’s amazing that they have no conscience in the matter. They just coldly treat him as if he’s not a human being.
In the case of the reporter and whether the recording would have been helpful, despite what OJH said, it should still bother her. I think it would be easier to accept if she had at least shared the recording with OJH, KDC and the lawyer. If in their expert opinion it couldn’t be used in the trial, then she wouldn’t have a crisis of conscience now. Also, she could have shared her misgivings with them and asked their opinion if the recording would further imperil LDC. The fact is, she didn’t even share this information at all so no matter what OJH said to make her feel better, the truth is she was protecting herself. I only dislike her choice though. I still like her.
This show is good at raising moral questions. Its kind of funny that for me it seems Ike the dead cop, the husband of the lady who sold the watch, was the Good Detective by all accounts.

Poor LDC was sacrificed on the altar of these depraved people’s ambitions. I hope the whole lot of them end up in jail and at least two of them end up on death row. That is, if they didn’t already abolish executions. I knew it’s Detective Nam who murdered the good cop years ago. My hope is that he’ll end up six feet under before this show is over or at least rotting in prison for the rest of his life.
I guess the biggest reveal is that the “ white tomb hiding dead men’s bones” Attorney General and brother of the similarly unconscionable editor set the whole thing up. Wow, these people are the lowest of the low to take an innocent man and send him to death row. What can I say except that I hope in the end justice is meted out to them double fold but then I remember it’s a Kdrama and I am almost certain that their punishment, if any, won’t be as satisfying as I would like in the end.
About our reporter, I don’t know how to feel about her not at least revealing the recording to KDC and OHJ. I was appalled with her at first and perhaps I still am, but I liked the way the former prosecutor guy who was released from prison called her out on protecting her job over “genuinely” trying to help LDC.

I don't mind spoilers honestly, I still enjoy the actual episode since it's nice to peace it all together myself. But yeah, ready to binge-watch those 2 episodes.
I’m the same. I actually think it’s better for me to watch crime shows through binge watching. In that way I can remember the clues and flow of the story better. Watching a week apart interrupts the flow of my thinking because I watch other shows in between. Additionally, waiting for subs usually means I have to watch a day later if it’s not on Kocowa or Netflix.
@aisling, I hope he’s not the serial killer as well. However, I will prepare for the worst regardless.
