Comments

Park Min Oct 02 2022 11:45 am It's just another generic crime/thriller drama full of comical plot holes. No wonder Go Hyun Jung dropped out from the drama. Her character was poorly written and barely given meaningful screen-time or attention. At least she dropped mid way because as we were approaching the ending her character was made like a clown. With the change of actress the story got bad instantly and they revealed the entire mystery of the story in episode 16-17, there was nothing left you might as well end it there.

The selection of cast members was doomed to fail anyway. Choi Ja Hye playing dump didn't fit the narrative most of the time. The last 10 episodes had utterly boring stretch of nothingness. I disliked the change of actress, the change of story direction that came with it and the lame-ass ending.

anzal Jul 11 2021 4:43 pm for me not soo good drama....

Yeom Mi-Jung is king of the devil Sep 01 2020 9:37 pm I think Yeom Mi-Jung is the brains of everything that turns bad kids into criminals.

ellie Feb 24 2020 8:57 am Perhaps its greatest flaw is it's Americanized feel of a 90's movie very bad things. Still, its twisted and takes you on quite a ride. Lots of wonderful performances.

zuezoo Jun 27 2019 1:18 pm KANG IN HO IS SO HOTTTTTT AND I REALLY SHIP HIM WITH NARA :")))))))

zuezoo Jun 27 2019 1:17 pm this is the first drama i had watched that the heroin is the villain. it is a good drama to watch but prepare yourself for the rollercoaster!

Ore-sama Jan 16 2019 1:02 pm This is good one. Recommended! 10/10. Here ia why I said 10/10.

I know some people are a bit frustrated about the ending and Choi Ja Hye revenge flow, but I think this is what Choi Ja Hye actually meant by of revenge..she is not seeking the typical type of revenge, that is why she does not plan to kill the 4 chaebol. If she really meant to kill them she wouldnt wait for 19 years or even give them second chance to choose what to do with Yeom Mi Jung body.

From the start her main focus is to make whole nation realize the flaw in executing the law. That is why after being judged as not guilty she went to the judge and asking him the same question she ask him 19 years ago, "dont you think we should re-write the law?" Then again in her last broadcasting she implies, "nothing is wrong with the law, the flaw lies in the people who execute it and those who use it to their benefit" - she meant to make people stop being selfish & greed by showing them the horrible effect of it by making her murder case as reference.

And finally her voice and her message did reaches the nation heart so that is why the head of prosecutor & the prosecutor decided to not go according to Oh Tae Suk selfishness & bribery again. In the end every one pays for their crime, either by law or by God's fate.

I love how the real message here is forgiveness instead of revenge. Personally I dont like revenge-encouraged drama, so for me this is very maturely written drama and congratulation to writer & director.

Actors are great! Oh Tae Suk is pure evil but I really despise Kim Hak Bum..his temper really sure annoys me! I hate this character the most! Very good acting.

B.B. Jan 10 2019 10:49 pm Best characters Award for the 4 morons. Why? It is beyond the entire coherent audience. Oh, They also forgot; Best Award for the worst script EVER.

Chery Aug 12 2018 6:15 am Know l'm a little late here. Thought the show started out really good but the fundamental flaw is that the notion of revenge is pretty warped. Understand that Choi gave the 4 idiots a chance and they blew it with the rape, then surely the revenge must be directed towards them. Why go kill everyone else? Yes, the director tried to salvage it by saying that Choi believes 4 idiots will destroy themselves but ultimately, Tae suk, the worst of them all, will only be convicted for the murder of the car dealer. She should kNow better that with corruption , Tae Suk can still go scot free.

O.A. Jul 10 2018 12:15 pm Not quite done with it but, man what an amazing drama. By the episode 5, I was already suspecting everyone of the characters. I even had Tae Suk's wife on the suspect list. By episode 8, I kept thinking back to the rape that happened nine years ago. Why? Because it was mentioned so often it was hard not to think about it. The suspense is quite solid though there are some slip ups left and right. However, in a good work of fiction, that cannot be totally erased. Perfection after all is so overrated anyway. It is the flaws that a work of art contain that makes it truly exceptional.

PS. Actor Tae Gyu looks good on the eyes though...

Ppps Jun 29 2018 3:28 pm Ko Hyun Jung really was more impressionable as Choi ja hye than Park Jin Hee....KHJ’s acting is so effortless and she has innate screen presence.....and even though she is older than Pjh,she actually looked younger and muore charming than the latter....having said this, Pjh was ,however,not bad....she did her best to fit into the role and to a great extent,she did succeed.....now,coming to the plot, it was good but at times felt unnecessarily stretched.....too many revenge sub-plots made the drama look clumsy and confusing at times.....but, I still liked the manner of revenge sought by Choi ja hye.....it was unique in the way that she coaxed them( In ho and gang) into committing more and more crimes by weaving a web of distrust and panic among them.....her revenge strategies helped reveal the evil committed by these four demented friends, which was quite intriguing.....but the series could have been even more suspenseful and interesting if Choi ja Hye’s identity as the real mastermind behind all this could be kept a secret till the very end. Performances were good but not outstanding.....every evil doer, especially, Hak bum and Tae Seok, had a typical psychotic (joker-like) laugh which was supposed to instill fear and disgust among the viewers.....now,this is getting repetitive ?.....actor Park ki woong( In ho) was trying very hard to look ruthless and at times trapped and pitiable....but, sadly he still needs to go a long way.....Joon hee was good....Nara had very little to do.....others were just fine.

Although, a bit lengthy, the drama is a worthy one time watch.

Reverdrama May 20 2018 8:29 am Why they change thé actress ...she was great actress why ???!!! The second has lesS charisma....

Gdik May 16 2018 2:21 pm The story is dragging. It wouldve been exciting if hakbum or taesok had more crimes. It revolved around revenge but the victims are still helpless at ep 26. Like whaaat, with the years of preparation notging worked? Its too frustrating

Gdik May 16 2018 12:48 pm I was like where is ko hyung jung? And then i remember the actress leaving. I think it was better though. The previous actress really had the sweetest image

Ada Apr 16 2018 11:13 am Pretty exciting drama! I really detest Hak Bum ?

Nana Apr 02 2018 3:20 pm This drama saved 2018 already

Bambino Mar 30 2018 12:55 pm right now on eps 20....

wth the lawyer and jung so its friend right now? WTH..

so really bad bad bad bad bad bad...... after the main actress leave but yeah story getting really weird... soo soo weirdd...

bambino Mar 29 2018 7:35 pm Another stupid crime drama i watched 1-8... First impression 1-2 its yeah good nice scripted and act... 3-5 still good.. 6-8 its so weird like a the "man" doesnt many appeared on act but why he can do that to the guy almost died and help him on condition doesnt know where he go.... this drama like good at first but the producer/writing in middle of story just put BAM...BAMM..BAMM.. story line just like good food taste and you put weird taste... im on 9 right now..

Vio Mar 26 2018 8:30 am The script is so briliant! It only has One case with good elaboration! It made me really curious about the case!

The duo villiants were sooo evil!!! Tae Seok and Hak Bum, you Rock guys!!

Btw the changing of female lead is not significant for me, give a try to watch it guys! You will not be able to skip it !!!!

severine Mar 26 2018 5:36 am Good writer. Choi Kyung-Mi made a really good job here.

Jody Mar 26 2018 3:30 am Writing & directing were very uneven at times,which is a shame because the idea was taut & heart wrenching. Some of the characters were really unfinished or left to overact shamelessly, Way too much time wasted on disgusting behavior and too little time on character development - especially the role of Hak Beom, a professor but he was played just as a one dimensional thug, Kang Inho’s character was also very one dimensional. PD Jung seemed not to understand the difference between really good performances and those that were not. The PD of this drama was very lucky to have at his disposal such wonderful actresses, apparently he did not know how to respect them, lucky that he had a good cinematographer. Kudos to both Ko Hyun Jung & Park Jin Hee

Meon Mar 26 2018 3:27 am Excellent drama! But not for for those, who do not have their own opinion, who needs a guide to point who is the main lead and who does not. It's more like an European movie, where the main one is the movie itself.

A great script, which keeps in suspense until the very end, all actors acted very well. Jin Uk ssi - was one of the best! ^_-

Obviously Ko Hyun Jung made a stupid mistake that she left. But seems she also is from those who can act only in drama of old style - where it does not matter which is a script and who the actors are, there is only one actress who does nothing, only sits in a beautiful dress with a beautiful hairstyle.

"Return" isn't such kind of drama, it's excellent.

kenplus Mar 25 2018 7:00 am i really don't get this drama,there so many good actors and actresses there even Yoon joo hee ,the main female lead from god quizs series

but i just can't find myself to continue watching,really dislike the storyline

hks Mar 25 2018 3:57 am Lol! I don't like this drama!!!!

Justice Hero Mar 24 2018 5:55 am I just start watching it (cause I prefer marathon instead of watch the drama week by week), and I think quite understand why Ko Hyun Jung take decision to drop out. Feel a bit confuse who is the real lead of the drama cause Ko Hyun Jung scene didn't appear much as lead suppose to be, and most of her scene didn't quite important too. In episode 5 alone Ko Hyun Jung just appear 1/4 of the episode duration, makes me unconsciously murmur "hell this". But still, nice drama.

Maulinda Mar 23 2018 9:48 pm Great job Riteon Team!!!!... 아주 좋아 ???

Fajriatullaili Mar 23 2018 8:04 pm Regardless of disappointment , drama ended with good ♥️♥️♥️

Jr Mar 23 2018 7:16 pm Believe ko hyun Jung made a mistake. Thus character ended up with more screen time and s major role.

nicole Mar 23 2018 2:01 pm the last episode was so emotional loved it . Amazing acting from bong tae gyu who plays kim hak beom and the rest of the cast did amazing but he stood out I amma watch his movies and drama amazing acting from 1-34 he stood out .

Mai Anh Mar 23 2018 11:11 am For me, the last episode is sad. I feel so sorry for In Ho and na. Until the end I still hope that na will forgive In Ho, they will really be a happy family. Although I did not like choi ja hye before but in the last episode she really looks so pitiful, her daughter is so wonderful. In general, this is a good movie

Kat Mar 23 2018 5:37 am Wow...I've never need a breather in watching any korean dramas so far... But I was forced to stop halfway ep 33 (too difficult to continue at that moment).... Can't guess how they are going to extend the story to ep 34....... Now need to get back watching!!!

TheWhistler Mar 22 2018 10:59 pm The drama was good, the cast was good and the plot was good, almost, at the ending all should havd been blowen away.

hannah9302 Mar 22 2018 7:25 pm I don't know why i always cry when choi ja hye's daughter appeared, it's remind me to my little sister. Her acting is very good and look natural. I am more sad if I remember the story that she's die because of the 4 rascals. T.T i want to know her name, and want to watch her drama. She just do good job!! *cry cry

Ms.Xu Mar 22 2018 12:44 am tonight will be final episodes of Return. Will be missing lee jin wook as detective dokgo young! he is my inspiration , love his character so much !

PJ Mar 21 2018 8:35 pm Bong Tae-Gyu was the better as Kim Hak-Beom

Duyen Mar 18 2018 6:39 pm This show started out really mysterious, intriguing and stellar show but it evolved to being not really good. I wish I could have love this but it was ok, not up to par to what I expected.

Rosalie Mar 16 2018 4:40 pm Love this drama. So thrilling. Bad guys evil - but humorous. Jin hee is fantastic.

Ann Joel Mar 16 2018 3:41 am I have returned to Return with all my angst aside my faith has been restored so yep gonna suck it in and stay to the end! To infinity and beyond so let's get the terrible 4 and see them pay for their crimes within a court of law; proven guilty and sentenced accordingly and with that final scene spent showing them all being carted off shackled and bound to prison with no chance of parole. The end.

Kdramafan Mar 15 2018 7:28 am A good drama with fine cast except the detective character played by ljw his acting was very good in previous dramas. But this detective character doesn't suit him. Why in Korean dramas the detective characters are always shabby( bad dressing style worst hair style and bad acting)

Averageone Mar 15 2018 4:45 am I prefer khj for acting, but come on let's moving on. The cast changed but the story still fine and this series still soaring high in rating when people said they want to stop watching. Just be honest we want to know the answer of this mystery. And this series provide us twist and twist that lead our curiosity to keep watching. The process and what happened behind the scene made viewers feel disappointed, but the series still giving us a great content. Enjoy it

An Actual Fan of This Show Mar 14 2018 6:32 pm I have no idea why people hate this. It's very unique and PJH is a good actress. Cried during her solo scene on ep. 28

Ann Joel Mar 14 2018 2:43 pm We're heading down on the home straight with a few episodes to go to hit 32 with a tidy wrap up and resolution to end well. Now I read that SBS want to extend another 2 episodes to which I say 'Why'? Haven't you inflicted enough agony on us already? How painful is this going to get with extra episodes squashed in? The writer and PD are egotistical and are treating us viewers as imbeciles - okay we get it! It's all doom and gloom there is no light at the end of the tunnel or pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. No one has a happy ending so why prolong it anymore? This has been one drama that started of with a hiss and a roar and now it's starting to fizzle out. For the exception of Na Ra none of the characters are worthy of redemption so just put is out of our misery and end it at 32 as originally planned. Thank you.

Niques Mar 14 2018 10:23 am This drama started full of thrilling suspense but started to get too draggy. Annoying characters are more annoying due to the repetition of their actions. Logic has somewhat fallen a lot too.

I raged quit at episode 24. I think the actress switch was probably needed if there was violence; however, I think Ko Hyun-Jung was the better for this role.

Drama Mar 13 2018 3:37 pm With respect to all the events since the heroine changed have become inconsistent

Que Sera Mar 13 2018 8:34 am "SBS had decided to extend its number of episodes from 32 to 34. If so, then the drama would wrap up on March 22."

YAYYYY~

huft Mar 12 2018 3:56 am just 3 episodes left ? but the story too good to end this soon. karena ceritanya bercabang cabang terlalu banyak. please give me some more episodes.

Hermine Mar 11 2018 6:10 pm To all of view. Oh please. This drama should have been cancelled 26 episodes ago. Worst of peice of writing ever!!!!!!!!

Adrian Mar 10 2018 1:08 pm Lol I prefer Park Jin Hee acting more than Ko Hyun Jung. Ko acting skill is one dimensional and she always look likes sleepy all the times. Meanwhile...Park portrays variety of emotion when acting as Choi Ja Hye. This drama is doing good even without Ko Hyun Jung.

Hannah21 Mar 10 2018 1:21 am Why oh whyyy in ho i soooo damn sexyy???? Even when he fell on a knife in episod 26? ??????????? i just can't handle it!! Soo in love with in ho character and in person a.k.a park ki woong hahaha. Can't wait to see the next episod!!

Liyana Mar 09 2018 8:42 am Guys...please don't compare KHJ and PJH...both of them are good...the most important thing is the storyline...

yoonix Mar 08 2018 11:30 pm @kat did you mean left-handed person? among those 4 chaebol, only TAE SUK who is left-handed you can see it on ep 20 when they do toast. only TAE SUK who was holding a glass with his left hand

sorry for my bad english

Kat Mar 08 2018 8:49 pm Well Ko Hyun Jung is the kind where it's always difficult to guess her inner thoughts..no matter how much it's boiling inside her, you'll still see her cool on the outside..and yet you can see she's sort of struggling within herself.

Spoiler : Park is no doubt also a great actress but she's a little too obvious showing her hate and fear...even some surprise (when Joo Hee apologise with the flowers).

Btw...did anyone noticed who is a lefty in the drama?

seoul_maple Mar 08 2018 3:36 pm Ko Hyun Jung will plot a better character than Park Jin Hee. Park Jin Hee did a good job too. But will prefer Ko Hyung Jung..

Those four Chaebol should get what they deserved !!! They are the real villains! I don't mind CJH killed them at the end!

Above are my 2cents of view....

Ann Joel Mar 08 2018 12:50 am Spoiler: Im in for the long haul and to see this out to the last episode because it's starting to grate on my nerves but come on who lets a 9 year old girl walk alone at night without any adult supervision? I mean if anything CJH should be charged first and foremost for negligence. Yep this has been playing on my mind for the past week just putting it out there. And no In Ho And Joon Hee in episode 23 with just 30 seconds of Na Ra. It's like the writer is picking at straws and using the 3 I just mentioned as fillers just to give CJH; DY; TS and HB a smoko break. Sorry if I'm being fecicious. On to the next episode!

fijo Mar 07 2018 6:25 pm Looks like she dropped out when the drama took a wrong turn. With Ko Hyun Jung it was a three dimensional character You felt for her in her nightmare scenes. You rooted for her in her interactions with the police officer....The show took a 180 degree turn when Park Jin Hee came on board. At this point one can only hope the last vial is for the lead female character. She's gone from a completely thought out personality, to a caricature which was neither believable nor sympathetic even taking into account the history... This plane has stalled. I'm watching to see if they will be able to do a spin recovery, before it crashes and burns altogether.

TheWhistler Mar 06 2018 5:57 pm This is an excellent drama. Great anticipation each week for new plot twists. No difference in ratings due to actress change, in fact the change in actress was extremely smooth. An ensemble piece, with all actors/characters working well together. Good against evil!

sujihyoghostwriter Mar 06 2018 11:33 am At first I really shock that the actress has change, I'm a little bit disappointed.! Suddenly after cut her hair the actor face also changed! confused!! because I like Ko Hyun Jung. When I see the story line after the actor changed now I understand about this drama what is about.

the Pretty Mar 03 2018 9:50 pm I dont get why netizen so hate about this story line. I think this drama was super daebak so far. No doubt that the main character had changed was so shocked for me. Little strange there but i just want to said that every character that every actor/actress brought in this drama was superb!! Shin sung rok was the best and my bae if he got villain character.???? But the most anticipated scene for me is Kang inho and Nara ???? #ReturnLover

Truthteller Mar 03 2018 9:36 am It is too much how people adore ko hyun jung. Whats so good about her?? I watch this drama since the beginning, and always feel bored when it is ko hyun jung scene. Her face is flat without expression, and always look tired and sick! As if she is tired acting. And her face is also look unnatural, like has been injected by filler here and there from cheek, nose, chin, and lips, so her overall face look like swelling! LOL really not good looking and cannot stand to see it. By the way I watch this drama 99% because of its story, the rest is lee jin wook mau be. Well but his appearance is always messy and frustrated lol

PhFanatic Mar 02 2018 9:30 pm Remember Ko Hyun Jung’s opening scene with the number 15 ffrom episode’s 1 to 14? The scene where she is standing on the rocks by the ocean? That location showed up recently on episode 19 to 20 without her and it shows that a young girl died there several years ago...they are telling us that she is part of that incident and it is part of the reason why her character, Choi Ja Hye, is seeking revenge. Choi Ja Hye is intented to be the villain from the beginning. It also seems like Ko Hyun Jung’s departure didnt affect the show at all since the viewers are there to follow what will happen in the story. Too bad she left coz i really like her acting, but this show is Daebak!!!

Easter Lily Mar 01 2018 11:47 pm I'm reasonably sure that they always planned for certain individuals to be masterminding certain happenings here. It's fairly clear from the start that those entitled 4 were not the perpetrators of the present day murders.

Sunglasses Mar 01 2018 9:38 pm I do understand why ko hyun jung said the nature of her character has change. I heard that the scenario was done only up to 8th episode when ko hyun jung decided to be on this drama. The change was not smooth and unatural. Her character seems artificial. It feels like last minutes change on the scenario, even before ko hyun jung left. Start around 15th or 16 episode. When she came to the car showroom to find byung ki. Looking back, there are scene where she suspect lee jin wook about seo joon hee's missing. Now that it turns out like this, that scene seems pointless. Was the change intentional or last minutes change?

Kimi Mar 01 2018 7:21 pm Before changed of characters, always looking forward to next epi, now I'm watching just to know how the drama ends.. so funny that when the character changed, drastically she becomes a villain??? Wth..

Olk26 Mar 01 2018 6:05 pm For sure Choi Ja-Hye was planned to be a villain from the start by author. Everything began after her party. It was strange that just after she offered Geum Na-Ra job, her husband became a suspect of murder. But author did really good job and most viewers focused on Mi Jung and our lovely friends thanks to that Choi Ja-Hye was under the radar for long time. But for sure everything was planned like that.

Hannah21 Mar 01 2018 2:55 pm Is the new choi ja hye be the villain? I feel her character had changed and it's a little bit disappointed. But I don't know. Too much twist. How can the characters of the main actor changes so dramatically. Okay, let's just say there is no main characters in this drama, let's focus on the story. But for some reason I'm a little bit disappointed with the changing character of choi ja hye. On the first i think she is protagonist, but now i don't belive that she is still protagonist or kind anymore. Hmm.. i just feel sooo sad after watch eps.20. I don't know. Moreover, the villain I think would not necessarily right in this drama. Once again, maybe at the end there will be a twist :. And become more absurd hahahahahaha. But i like the character of 4 fake friends (in ho, tae suk, hak bom, and jun hee) they were crazy and psyco. But i love them. Thank you for them, and i stay to watch the drama bcs want to see the end of them. They do a very good job. And for nara and detective, i hope they can find the real culprit as soon as possible. And no more absurd things ??????

Anisah Mar 01 2018 7:08 am Idk why but im disappointed to the changed character,i was really searching for ko Hyun Jung. Too bad it changed the Main Character .I miss her ;-;

Ann Joel Mar 01 2018 3:31 am Spoiler: Gripping! The Story has picked up heaps and I'm waiting for Episodes 21& 22 As I can't wait to see what happens next. Jin Joo is needed as the ditzy comic relief and she actually is a hoot! And my fav Na Ra; is she expecting? Either that or she is rubbing her stomach cos she has indigestion. OMG her being preggers might get her and In Ho back on track. You can see that he really does love her. Bong Tae Gyu as Hak Bum is doing a great job as the psycho and Park Jin Hee is really holding her own as Choi Ja Hye. This has definitely amped up from last week. I'm happy with the writer now.

KSJ Feb 28 2018 4:02 am Finally, I found the meaning of this drama title after seeing the lead actress start to become strange.

Balina Feb 26 2018 4:12 pm I like this new actress but she is no match with Ko Hyung Jung. Ko has a very unique manner of talking, an inner subtle feeling that makes her stand out and look calm even when she's angry. Her tone of voice makes you listen to her even if you don't want to. She is a queen. No one can replace Ko Hyung Jung. I watched EP 17 today and the new actress was funny instead of charismatic. It was so obvious she was trying hard to mimic the original actress but......

Dahnia Feb 25 2018 9:45 pm I never really fall in love with a crime drama. So far voice was the only crime drama that I've watched till the end. But, this crime drama is exceptional. I fall in love directly just from the first episode. I hope it's gonna be better till the last eps.

Cyan Feb 25 2018 5:49 pm Oh that's bad i want to see her until the end...still want to see Ko Hyun Jung, now the storyline become different smh ?

Viv Feb 25 2018 6:11 am Choi Ja Hye was supposed to be villain from the beginning.. there were so many suspicious things about her, how she found out everything so fast, she was lying to Nara while she was at the beach and Nara called her, she came to the car showroom to look for the dead Kim Byung Ki even though there was no connection between them,, like come on ppl, the plot is so so good and the storyline flows so wellllll.

Z Feb 25 2018 6:02 am To be honest, the new actress, who replaces GHJ, is much much better. Her acting is better and more natural than GHJ, her facial expressions are suitable for the character, not like GHJ, always looked tired and sick with the red nose throughout 14 episodes.. I honestly skipped so many parts that she appeared, sadly her acting is not as good as 10 years ago, but idk why and how some people cant accept the fact that her awarded acting skills were already so in the past. Now, i can only see her unprofessionalism.

kris Feb 25 2018 2:02 am So.... Is the new Choi Ja Hye is the villain now?

CKW Feb 25 2018 1:12 am @plus so it's an ensemble? Noted. That makes sense more.

Mc Feb 24 2018 12:49 am I knew it... That lawyer is something. But to have that original lead changed... It's not making a⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐rate.

Ann Joel Feb 23 2018 8:53 pm SPOILER; I watched episodes 17 and 18 and the story is gaining traction with PJH morphing into CJH complete with a bob haircut and garish red lipstick to show us that she has flipped 360 degrees from cut throat lawyer into a damn murderer? I mean seriously really writer? Is that the twist you wanted to reveal? Now it's so obvious with 14 episodes left as to CJH character and what her intentions are. Also a new character is being introduced so far into the series to be her assistant! Where is Na Ra? She only had 3 mins screen time and is being used less and less; maybe this is in retelliation cos she is from the same agency as GJH? Why bother having her? Just do a quickie divorce from In Ho and be done with her involvement- it's a waste of JEC talent and presence. My issue is with the writer. The series is really about Tae Seok and Haek Beom. This is their story and everyone else is on the periphery. I'm still going to keep watching even though its kinda predictable now. For those of you interested GJH and LJW movie 'A Tiger in Winter' is out in March 2018. ❤️

puff puff Feb 23 2018 6:04 pm I really really really don't like how the production and SBS did Go Hyun Jung! That was all kinds of low. What nonsense is that about not having enough screen time? Uhh clearly her character is more than involved in the weaving of this whole scheme against those 4 rich boys so screen time was going to more than triple right after she left. They just did GHJ wrong and wanted to make her look like the bad guy. Ughh. I even feel a little dirty watching this. That aside its also gonna take me a while to get used to Park Jin Hee taking her place but the drama is still good. The twist in episode 17 and 18 got me going "WHAAAAATTTTT?!" and have me curious as to how things will pan out so I will probably keep on watching.

wahmimi Feb 23 2018 5:13 pm why the drama air so weird not like before. i mean every wednesday it will came ep 14 and 15 for each 30mins and on thursday will be 16 and 17.

Fajriatullaili Feb 23 2018 10:49 am Im very very disappointed, i try to enjoy the drama but i can’t (ep17-18) I just focus to compare the different ghj with new face & characters Whyyyyyy in the beginning episode I really really obsessed, and now drama was so wired ???

Kat Feb 23 2018 4:48 am It just doesn't make sense, about her not having enough screentime since this is the critical time when the story is unraveling her character and she'll definitely have more screentime compared to what she already have. There must be more to the truth behind!

Well, it's lucky that the story is intriguing and I can't wait for coming episodes to see how everything was planned out for and if both the lawyer and doctor will be doomed avenging their loved ones.

And..I'm still suspecting Dong Bae has got something to do with the case!

Sure hope we won't get to see a change of character anymore in future korean dramas! Can't stop thinking how will Ko Hyun-Jung be playing that character...

R Feb 23 2018 4:41 am I was kinda confused when watching the latest episode (Ep.17-18) due to the cast changes. But, the storyline is very addictive. I noticed that the little girl named 'Jung So Mi' who might used to be Choi Ja Hye's daughter (or part of her family or someone special to her) died in 1999-11-04, I'm actually a little bit suspicious with Choi Ja Hye because when Yeom Mi Jung died, there are roman numerals "XCIX" on her chest, means 99 (the year that little girl died), and then when Ahn Hak Soo (detective who used to investigate Kim Soo Hyun's case) died, it's "XI" on his chest, means 11 (the month that little girl died). Besides, Dokgo Young found a suspicious drawing from a book (like a journal) from Kim Jung Soo's house that shows the number 99-1-1-4. There are so many suspicious things when you watch it. And it turns out, all of them was involved in Kim Jung Soo's sister's case in the past, including Choi Ja Hye. But, those numbers and Choi Ja Hye are what made me curious the most. Can't wait for the upcoming episodes, this drama is very worth to watch! (note: the theory above is something comes to my mind when watching it, you may have another opinion and prejudice.)

LOL Feb 22 2018 11:11 pm Episode 17 is getting weird, how can suddenly CJH become villain? So disappointing, the drama was good in the beginning but now it’s worst drama that I ever watched. No wonder GHJ dropped out from the series. The series is turning over 360 degrees. Good luck to the rating.

chinenye uzochukwu Feb 22 2018 8:11 pm i neva really knew or liked the lead actress in the first place, was only watching because of the storyline and lee jin wook

Jsh Feb 22 2018 1:01 pm I havent watched it yet, i want to ask to whoever who watching this is dmthe drama still worth watching eventhough the main lead has been changed? I mean is the characters fit for the new actress?

plus Feb 22 2018 7:11 am @CKW: A main character having a limited apperance isn't something that never happened before. It happens depends on the drama. If it's a drama that mostly focus on the main characters and their lives, then yes, a main character should have more appearance. But this drama isn't like that, the focus of this drama is not just on the main characters but the overall story so it's normal that there will be other characters and other aspects of the drama that they will need to focus on instead of just focusing on the main character - especially because she's not the only main character in this series. That's why, even though she's gone, there are still people who still want to watch it because they are intrigue about the "story" and not just the "main lead" because the drama itself didn't focused on the characters but the story itself. Something that she probably didn't understand hence getting upset with the PD just because she's not satisfied with her character. What she did was very unprofessional indeed, to think that there are actors and actresses who had to endure the tremendous shooting of their drama, getting sick and hospitalized because the whole set wasn't good and still keep it up until the end, that's what professionalism is about.

from wonderland Feb 21 2018 10:50 pm jadi, ko Hyun Jung gamau ngelanjutin drama ini gegara perannya looks like the villain??

peach Feb 20 2018 8:08 pm if the story and acting still good, i won't care about the visual of the actors. about a disagreement behind the scene(i'm also curious about the real truth and want to know what's happened since i always love go hyun jung works) as long as it won't affect the quality of a drama then i will keep watching this.

BalAdeva Feb 20 2018 8:07 pm shame only 14 worth episode. Go Hyun Jung is rare. but now only Lee Jin Wook is worth to watch hmm.. fans cant do anything.

Averageone Feb 20 2018 8:02 pm Watched this because of Go Hyun Jung but the storyline is really good. Despite her leave and all the things happened, i will keep watching this if the storyline still keeping up

CKW Feb 20 2018 7:09 am @Pasta4Me it's sexist to see sexism in everything. Your microaggression is showing.

@meimei "outshining" and "limited appearance" are different. Very often the supporting characters outshines the MC, yes. But I've never seen any movie or show where the MC has "limited appearance" ("limited" implying very very little screentime). It doesn't make sense, albeit I've not seen this before.

Pasta4Me Feb 19 2018 6:24 pm One less viewer may not matter but the conflict over this drama has me opting out. Ms. Go is a well-established, talented actress and was hired by a PD/production company who would have known about her qualifications and reputation ahead of time. In a male-dominated hierarchal atmosphere, the outcome of any conflict between production and an actress is fairly obvious.

dan Feb 19 2018 9:49 am funny how some of u come here just to tell everyone that u are going to drop this drama. well let me tell you, NOBODY CARES.

meimei Feb 19 2018 8:12 am A main character having a limited appearance isn't something new and a main character being out shined by the other characters isn't something new as well. Ji Chan Wook's character in Empress Ki also outshined the male lead's character and yet, that actor stayed until the end even though what's happening in his character became so boring.

Go Hyun Jung must be aware of that since the same thing happened during her days as Mishil from the drama Queen Seondeok, where her character Mishil completely outshined the main lead and the character Bidam outshined both of the female lead and male lead. Yet those two main leads, endured till the end even though it made them depressed and upset.

If the thing is going on her side, she's fine with it but if not, then she will get so upset?

jjj Feb 19 2018 8:05 am I watched this because of Lee Jin Wook so yes I will still watch this even after Go Hyun Jung left. Of course, it will be a bit awkward to watch a different face of the character you got used into watching but oh well the story is good so it's okay.

DDG Feb 19 2018 6:02 am i'm here for the story and lee jin wook...

not gonna drop this, and for those who are thinking of dropping this, well, you'll miss out on the fun of crime solving with the cops and the roller coaster ride of emotions from the lawyer who seems to be a part of the frame up of the 4 idiots...

DDG Feb 19 2018 6:00 am i'm like one of those here who doesn't care if they swap female lead coz i'm here for the story and for lee jin wook...

for those who are dropping, dropped, or about to drop this drama, well... it's a shame coz you'll miss out on the fun and thrill of crime solving with the male lead.... and the roller coaster ride of emotions with the female lead coz it looks like she's part of the plan to frame the 4 idiots.. i'm not sure if the doc and the lawyer were the ones who got the girl killed...

Go Feb 19 2018 5:36 am The antagonists are far from hotties. You should learn from Voice, Sensory Couple, Gap Dong (Lee Joon) etc. Dropping this drama. Bye!

CKW Feb 17 2018 1:04 pm What does "the director have had disagreements over her character's limited appearance in the drama series" even mean?? I mean isn't her character the MC?? How can an MC have limited appearance??

Chen Chen Feb 17 2018 10:41 am I watch this coz of Ko Hyun Jung. She is such a good actress. Is sad that she left this Drama TT. Still nevertheless I keep watching coz already halfway through.

Eny Feb 17 2018 9:13 am I don't care about the actresss changing because the story is too good, make us keep guessing who's the real killer n it's unpredictable

Maya Feb 15 2018 2:51 pm All of you saying RIP but just look at the ratings of episodes 15 and 16 (where GHJ is not playing anymore)...the scandal surely got the drama some views sadly... GHJ made the drama for me and its really unconfortable to watch a drama in which in the middle one of the leads is changed tbhbut the drama itself is really good so im going to watch it until the end

Mary Feb 15 2018 5:24 am Yiseul : you don't really know anything about acting.. Go Hyung Jung style is what they called Subtle acting.. well her poor acting (as what you said) gave her a lots of Best Actress Awards and 3 Daesang Awards.. Daesang is the highest honor that an actor can received..

Yiseul Feb 15 2018 12:38 am Northern girl: You’re absolutely right. I don’t watch this drama, just found out few minutes ago byt I agree with you on that woman’s acting (don’t even know her name). IMO her poor acting makes her like low-budget cyborg.

Killo Feb 14 2018 9:47 pm Unfortunately I cann't see GHJ excellent acting anymore in this drama..

hks Feb 14 2018 5:29 am RIP! This drama! ?

Ann Joel Feb 13 2018 1:07 am Park Jin Hee is an actress who just happens to be pregnant with her 2nd child and I'm sure she wouldn't have accepted the role if she wasn't up to it. That said Lee Si Young from Look out 2017 and Park Han Byul from Borg Mum same year were expecting whilst filming their respective dramas and only announced it after (sorry unsure when they made their pregnancy public). And as they say in show business 'The show must go on!' Therefore my love and respect hasn't diminished for GHJ at all with her departure and the circumstances surrounding it. Moreso my curiosity around who killed Mi Jung and will Na Ra divorce her rat of a husband In Ho towards the finale is what is driving me to stay tuned! Here supporting Jung Eun Chae x

Minnesota Sue Feb 12 2018 8:28 pm Re : the pregnant actress hired to take GHJ’s place Is this a wise choice? Though I was mesmerized by the deft,well written storyline,other than the crude unfortunate toilet reference, the band of rich mostly jerkish guys does tend to be degrading of women and misogynistic.

   Additionally Director Joo Dong Min has a reputation of being

Harsh and even cruel to his actors and staff.

    The general tone and working environment in the drama Return

Sounds dark, unforgiving, and grim. A pregnant actress with a precious unborn child who needs a serene and nurturing environment Would seem to be risking a lot to join this production.

Ann Joel Feb 12 2018 2:47 pm I am so afflicted right now! My heart is telling me to give up 'Return' as I am such a die hard fan of GHJ whilst my head is saying to keep the faith and continue watching in support of Jung Eun Chae and Lee Jin Wook. This drama was so on point and to have this awful mishap occurr off screen is quite sad for us (the viewers). At all times GHJ has maintained a sense of dignified silence by not slamming the PD and SBS whilst they have taken every opportunity to express their biased 'side' of the story. However don't despair fans of GHJ her movie 'Tiger of Winter' with Lee Jin Wook is scheduled to be released in March 2018 so that might console us to know she will grace our screens again. Congrats to Park Jin Hee for stepping in regardless if you are carrying you will do well in the role and take the drama to a successful conclusion!

nicole Feb 12 2018 10:02 am yay park jin hee but she is pregnant right now.

Madeleine Feb 11 2018 8:57 pm They should have fired the PD, not the great actress. Very sad. Terribly disappointing. Shame on them

Minnesota Sue Feb 10 2018 5:05 pm Postscript Also, I am going to assume that director Joo Dong-Min was among the prime-movers in this mishap: &/or at the very least failed to Advocate properly for his actress, Ko Hyun-Jung, Beloved in Korea & across the Earth.

Therefore I will not be watching dramas or movies directed by Joo Dong-Min.

Minnesota Sue Feb 09 2018 9:41 pm Ko Hyun-Jung’s character is, was, and will remain the Heart and Strong Spirit of this drama. I do not believe we have been told the Truth about management’s role in her departure. As much as I Treasured and looked forward to each new episode I will allow my Mind to create this drama’s conclusion.

Even though Return is suspenseful and beautifully crafted I will Never return.

hannah9302 Feb 09 2018 8:04 pm It's hard to accept the reality that Go Hyun Jung was left from the drama.. this is my favorite drama on this season. Hmm.. Idk if i'll watch it again. :/

The conflict between the actor and the staff reminded me of the PHJ incident at CITT. And it's make me sad.. :((. And now, he'll be an lead actor on CITT Movie (can't wait!! I've waiting this movie for long long time.. hope i'll better than the drama).

But Honestly, i like the plot the story of this drama (Return). And i'm admiring most of this actor!! The bad guy (4 fake friend) are so sexy to mee wkwkwkwk.. especially Park Ki Woong and Shin Sung Rok. And i also like to watch Jung Eun Chae's character.

I hope the problems with actors and the staff can be finished soon. And leave happy ending story for both. Ko Hyun Jung did really really well oh her acting. And i enjoy it. She'll get better project than this!! Fighting!!

Rainbow Feb 09 2018 6:32 pm Wanting to watch this drama but cancelled it. My fav actress already dropped out from this drama..

Yumi Feb 09 2018 9:27 am "Ko Hyun-Jung and the director have had disagreements over her character's limited appearance in the drama series. "

Definetely that was what i though..I was thinking that shin sung rok (oh tae seok) is the main lead.. Even with jung eun chae (geum na ra), she gets fewer scenes..

Although it just a little, but her role is very strong. With her presence, she makes this drama more interesting.. I love go hyun jung.. Fighting GHJ!!

june Feb 09 2018 3:02 am honestly, i watch this drama because Go Hyun Jung....

koreanweii Feb 09 2018 3:00 am KHJ quit? i think rating will drop

HEALER Feb 08 2018 11:02 pm RIP to this drama, goddamn it ..

Mary Feb 08 2018 9:47 pm Better stop watching this drama.. the story will be nonsense now Go Hyun Jung left this drama.. shame because it got high ratings ccompared to previous drama in Wed-Thursday slot because of her... i hope this drama will suffer a terrible dropped in ratings after she left

Mary Feb 08 2018 9:43 pm Northern girl you rat clearly dont know anything about acting.. Go Hyun Jung recieved the highest honor in Baeksang Awards because of her acting.. to say she's terrible is beyond me.. smh

Jonah Feb 08 2018 7:23 pm Ha? KHJ will quit? I like her acting. Then who will be the actress lead? Jung Eun-Chae ?

Emma M. Feb 08 2018 6:17 pm Well I'm not surprised Ko Hyun Jung left because she always looks half asleep in the drama.

May Feb 08 2018 4:52 pm I dont get it..selfish act ...just replace her..

nadiakorea Feb 08 2018 10:59 am yes.. ko hyun jung screen time is less in this drama.. the plot of this make her screen time less.. that's y she left.. she's A-list actress.. this doesn't make sense for her.. better she quit..

tmo Feb 08 2018 7:30 am Why she quite? REASON?

Devie Feb 08 2018 6:12 am Ohhhhj nooooooo!!!! Please don't quite Go Hyun Jung,i watch this drama because of you... Jeballl!!

kurage Feb 08 2018 4:58 am Haha, I was just thinking of watching this drama because of GHJ since I really liked her in Queen Seon Deok. But since SBS has decided to cut her out, I don't think I would want to watch this drama anymore. Now I'm impatiently waiting for Mystery Queen 2 to start.

K Feb 08 2018 4:15 am This is unfair. Go Hyun Jung screentime is less than Lee Jin Wook. Lee Jin Wook should defend her tbh. She's the one who recommended him as the lead.

Ezg Feb 07 2018 9:07 pm Actually being the main actress in the middle of the drama is a bit annoying.

northerngirl Feb 07 2018 1:07 pm Go Hyun Jung is terrible in this drama anyways. I wouldn't mind a change in lead actress...

cyberghost Feb 07 2018 12:40 pm OMG, Actress Go Hyun Jung has officially stepped down from SBS’s Wednesday-Thursday drama “Return.” :(

winna_eka Feb 04 2018 9:15 am the suspicious murder --> Doctor Kim JungSoo

Vanness77 Feb 04 2018 8:16 am This series is good and intense. I'm curious about the killer.

Enrique Feb 03 2018 7:47 pm My favorite drama, I am really loving it.

Quincy Feb 02 2018 11:11 pm @Kat, agree with you and eszen vallente. this drama keeps me curious , feel like finishing it soon and find out who is the real killer:)

Kat Feb 02 2018 8:08 am Yes, Athena, J3 and Quincy. It's definitely got something to do with that rape case 9 years ago or may be that is just a small part of the ice-burg? My question is "WHO" in the story so far...and I am betting eszen vallente is correct about that Kim Jung Soo...but it seems as if Choi Ja Hye has a dark history that is haunting her and giving her sleepless nights~~~ Can't wait for next episode!

eszen vallente Feb 01 2018 5:32 pm . ..kim jung soo is the one who refrigerated the body since he also work in a hospital and the mystery behind the paintings. ..

Linda Feb 01 2018 3:50 am so... Shin Sung-Rok is errr... not so good character again? or am I wrong...?

ERD Jan 31 2018 6:11 am all is perfect. the plot twist and the cast just perfect. i just need one thing, please airing every day, i cant wait the next episode.

Quincy Jan 31 2018 4:28 am @J3, I agree with your idea. Let's see if our guessing is correct ^ ^ Waiting for tonight and tomorrow.

J3 Jan 30 2018 6:50 pm I agreed with Athena's comment and I think a family member of the rape victim in 9 years ago is a doctor in seo joon hee's hospital that is kim jung soo because based on the fact from the autopsy that the body of mi jung is stored in the refrigerator and the one with the big fridge is just a hospital. But that is makes confusing is why kim dong bae hide seo joon hee and lie to dokgo young? ahh can't waiting for the next episode ><

v3 Jan 30 2018 10:45 am this drama is very good, the character, the story, but why my instinct says the killer is Kang In-Ho wife,,,,hehehehehe

Darren Jan 29 2018 10:20 pm waiting for the next...

whynot Jan 29 2018 9:59 am this drama is very good. what's with the user rating?

Athena Jan 29 2018 8:41 am Haha. I got the clue at ep8. Probably, a family member of the rape victim in 9 years ago, probably, brother revenged back to them. Let’s say he is A. Mi Jung testified as witness so A killed her and set to frame 4 friends. But, how come buried suitcase was on the road?

Kat Jan 29 2018 12:45 am I wonder who is the one who has "RETURN" and is making the 4 "friends" pay back~~Dong Bae sure gave me a good surprise! Can't wait to see how the story-line develop!

Lisa Jan 29 2018 12:10 am @adrian i actually think tae seok is the worst of them all. he tried to kill joon even when he realized that he was alive. At least hak beom felt guilty. I know he's just as bad but i think he just has serious anger issues. Dude needs therapy!!

This drama is so exciting, i'm glad I found it

Adrian Jan 28 2018 2:36 pm Hak Beom is the most evil among them, he raped a woman and killed his best friend. Tae Seok is second most evil as he the one who made those stupid calls

Ulfa M. Jan 27 2018 7:40 am Love Ko Hyun Jung and Lee Jin Wook, great pair. Other casts amazed me too. RETURN, you are so good, so addictive to me :D

Origin Jan 27 2018 5:24 am This drama is surprisingly interesting. I hope they will not drag the story line in that murder case and move on to another one to keep this drama interesting to the viewers.

Otti Jan 26 2018 7:30 am My most favorite character : Dokgo Young detective. He is so handsome and kind, salute!!!

peppermint Jan 25 2018 9:01 am Tae seok... why are you so cruel??...you kill youre old friend.. :'(

rarra Jan 25 2018 5:32 am Awesome..i like this type of drama.. fighting..

Ameth Ferrer Jan 25 2018 4:51 am Our heartfelt thanks to SBS for a new drama for our Fave Korean Actor Lee Jin Wook...kudos and bravo!

rukiah j Jan 24 2018 7:26 pm love this drama so much from the story,casts,setting,music,all the best! this is the best one this time!

Fire and dream Jan 24 2018 12:31 pm @sung jira I've seen the loft and i think the case is having so much similiarities. From the victim (a mistress), 4 suspects, crime scene (vip room that belong and only known by the suspects). It is like a copycat from the case in the movie.

Sung jira Jan 24 2018 7:54 am I think the drama seems like western movie THE LOFT ( The Right Place To Do Wrong) .. its looks to similar.. am I wrong??? I recommend you to watch the loft .. Myb this drama inspired by the loft movie

Mirtika Jan 23 2018 11:35 am I think the skank friend of the husband (the one who invited the man-chasing bar owner to the dinner) killed her. He seems slimy and I bet he was banging her, to. Since she called him, and he invited her to the dinner, I think he met up with her and her finished her off cause she threatened him, too.

There are so many skanky people in this drama, it's like we need an exterminator to get rid of all of them.

I hope the wife goes to work in the law firm, ditches her cheating husband, and raises her daughter in peace.

zahi Jan 23 2018 11:10 am what a shit Hak Beom character! What? He is professor? Professor my foot! Sorry I just watched ep 1, I really really want to punch, kick him until die, together with tae sook and the setan husband! Sorry for SungRok fans outthere, but I really hate SungRok. I dont why, I just hate looking his faces. But this is best drama with the personality of main lead character.

peppermint Jan 22 2018 9:33 am I think i'm in love with Kang in ho... ? Can't wait for the next episode... i'm very interested of the story... All cast so great...

Sirilin Jan 22 2018 4:56 am I think Mijung was killed by Nara. The three badass friends covered and solved everything for her.

Ms.Xu Jan 20 2018 5:56 am Yes! yes,yes! Can't wait for episode 5 and 6 next week !!! Pali pali !

Gabriella Jan 20 2018 1:24 am Love your acting Lee Jin Wook oppa :) You'll never disappoint us ! Excited to see you come back again you rock!!!!!!

Mill Jan 19 2018 8:38 pm Can't wait for the next episode. I am very interested of the story! All the casts are so excellent, good job so far !

Fajriatullaili Jan 19 2018 1:32 pm highly highly recommended ❤️❤️❤️

it'sm3 Jan 19 2018 1:16 pm never can go wrong with the cast ... proven hit maker line-up

Mirium montelli Jan 19 2018 10:27 am This is an outstanding drama-this sets the bars for the future of Kdrama. The cast is fantastic the characters are real and the storyline keeps you in your toes. This USA well-written, and exquisitely acted drama. A very smart drama indeed. Do yourself a favor and don’t miss out on this one.

kahlan lee Jan 18 2018 6:45 pm I'm watching Episode 3 right now. It looks like this is going to have good twists and turns. I feel sorry to the wife.

She believed that her husband was loyal. She is smart though so she is putting the pieces together.

nar Nov 07 2017 8:32 am Ryan, nobody cares about ur irrelevant opinions, if they suck at acting they wont even get cast for this drama, dont be surprised if a lot of people started to hate on ur bias bcs OF UR STUPIDITY

Ryan Nov 07 2017 12:40 am Lee Jin Wook and Shin Sung Rok are so boring! (Whatever you say, fans). Ko Hyun Jung my queen will slay them all
