Rule ## of action thrillers: if someone who doesn't intend to keep it a secret learns the true identity of the protagonist, they'll die before they can reveal it to the world. I'll miss reporter Choe. The IQ of this series will drop by a couple hundred points when she's gone. How the hell did...

Oh, so the only good PTJ series got a sequel. That's great, looking forward to more.

Damn, Jiyong is unsparing. He even made sure to drop the smartphone in the flat of a random gangster to fuck him up. That's not making lemonade from a lemon, it's making champagne.

Gang-ok and Miryeo are sitting in a tree… or maybe Gang-ok and Jiyong? Doesn't take well being taunted about his masculinity, is disgusted by kissing Miryeo… compares Jiyong and himself to Achilles and Patroclus… prefers playing with Jiyong to going on a date with his girlfriend… let's see...

I think this makes sense. Considering that Jo Heon is a black-ops cop, his entire career has been mired in this dilemma, so of course he fails to articulate a reasonable argument against Jiyong's principles. And yet, it's really simple. Jiyong doesn't seem to realise that it was one thing to...

Yours is a very honest review and I get why you couldn't continue for reasons of personal taste. I'll just add that the excerpt of your review I quoted is exactly the reason some people, myself included, like this series so much: it doesn't glorify vigilantism. I don't really like the idea...

Damn, it's the Miryeo rapeface there at the end. Run for the hills if you don't wanna be in the fallout zone. Also, the fuck is Jo Heon going on about? He isn't making any sense. I don't even know where to begin. How can he scold Jiyong for using illegal methods when that's exactly what he was...

They really should add negative scores for this kind of thing. 7.7 is way too much.

Well, not necessarily. Japanese comics are full of high schooler/teacher couples, so long as the high schoolers involved are above the age of consent. It's 13 in the law (!!), but there are city ordinances against indecency that make it in practice 16. We might find it weird, but it's a cultural...

I think she's faking it. I don't use social networks other than instant messaging (Discord, WhatsApp), so I don't know how much of a reputational damage it would be to be outed as someone who pretends to buy fancy clothes while just putting them on. If anything, has no one so far realised that...

If anything, the weirdest thing is that the teacher had an acquaintance of 12 years back saved in his phone, and Kurose didn't even realise how strange that is. I think this is gonna bite him in the arse later.

To be honest, I don't think he did. He was genuinely shaken by the news from Seon-uk. He nearly collapsed from it. I think the "everything is working out perfectly" refers to how irredeemable his enemies are at this point, thus allowing him to shake off any qualms he might have over punishing...

Hmmm… is Seon-uk finally becoming relevant? That close-up on his nape last chapter as Jiyong was leaving the room, the one before that when he was listening into Jiyong's interrogation, and now his brief hesitation before answering "I don't know"… it's subtle but it's there. Does he suspect...

Welp. Yeong-il got the story wrong, but he was an absolute mad lad in this chapter. Pity that he had to go on with his theatrics and tell Jaehyeop he'd be travelling by car on his own with the evidence. Ironically, for all the empathy Jiyong has for victims of crime, he fails to see that his...

Good to see you're still reading this, I remember that excellent exchange we had about Miryeo's debate speech a few years ago. I miss when the comments were much more lively for this series.

Incidentally, about this chapter, I think Yeong-il should really write a fiction novel, because he got almost everything wrong.

Whew, and here I was thinking after we dropped it I'd have to wait a whole year for the officials… guess someone did pluck the low-hanging fruit. Anyway, so Ji Yong is framing Jo Heon, huh. Now, the question is whether he anticipated a raid on the Police Academy and removed all incriminating...

To be honest, her getting a tongue-lashing from her father is probably the worst that's gonna happen at this point. And when said dad (not sure whether he'll even feature in the story) learns his daughter's boyfriend is the star student of the police academy, he'll probably think more of how to...

Shoulda known he was setting the police up seeing as he was not wearing the hood when passing in front of the dashcam… Also did… did Ji Yong turn on the phone with the crypto wallet… in front of Jae Hyeop's office to frame him or something? He told Gang Ok a few chapters ago that they would be...

I think Ji Yong is making a stand that he won't be intimidated until the other side slaps him with smoking gun-level evidence. He has strong principles, after all. And I'm guessing he thinks Yeongji is an alibi of last resort, because if she's questioned meticulously enough, it will become clear...
