Finally I’m done with Life on Mars! It has been such a fantastic ride! Despite being a crime drama, I loved that funny and swoon-worthy scenes are interjected here and there that it provides a healthy balance to the overall mystery of the drama.
Seriously though, I haven’t laughed loudly in a long time. Thanks to the crazy antics of our Violent Crimes Unit 3.
I consider this as my 2nd best drama (after My Ajusshi). Acting is excellent thanks to Jung Kyung-ho and Park Sung-woo! I loved the editing and cinematography of the drama. Story-wise, it was very well-written. The drama even explained why Tae-joo dreamt of the gang in 1988. I also loved that every detail has a reason for being included in the drama.
I also loved that Park Sung-woo’s real life wife made a cameo in the last episode!! (I loved Shin Eun-jung in Misaeng!) Dong-chul’s wife was often mentioned throughout the series that I was pleasantly surprised to have her cameo in the last ep!
Lastly, I loved reading the recaps for LoM as well as reading the beanies’ comments! It gave me more insight and made me love this show even more!
I enjoyed this show so much! This is where I discovered Jung Kyung Ho and I’m so looking forward to his next project! PSW is rumoured to join JKH but it hasn’t been confirmed.
I also read the beanies’ theories on whether or not Tae-joo really committed suicide. I’d like to think he was already dead from the beginning. The whole series was his way of tying up loose ends from his work and family. All that matters to me is he’s happy

Oooohh! The bromance is strong! And I think the two actors really enjoyed filming together.
Also, I liked PSW here than in TSHLYE! His character in LoM has more complexity than in TSHLYE.

Yay! You finished. So happy you enjoyed the ride.
Fun fact: JKH’s dad’s long time partner was Dongchul’s mother in law. And she calls JKH her son~ hoho

The producers were asked about this back in October. They said he did commit suicide.

I am glad you enjoyed it. It was on my best of list for 2018.
It was just damn good television.
