Ms.Hammurabi making me laugh and cry all in the same episode. Ep11 was a real jewel. I had no idea how severe and widespread glue addiction amongst youngsters were. Also Ba Reun’s dimples seem to have struck someones heart.

    I really appreciate the cases in Miss Hammurabi like this one in ep 11. Glue sniffing is a bigger problem than other addictions because it’s easily available and cheap. I just wish the story telling was more subtle so as not to take away from the stories. They alone are impactful enough

      I agree with the subtlety because that’s the only thing missing from Ms.Hammurabi. The story telling would’ve been elevated to outstanding if some of the glossiness was removed but I still love how compact each ep is in relating the emotions of problems that are not only widespread in Korea but around the world (when the drama doesn’t focus on the overbearing court politics). I’ve never seen a kdrama tackle glue addiction before and it seems like the next ep will take on alcholism- a really huge issue. I’m glad Oh Reum has recognised her flaws tho because it’s a step in the right direction

      You should. Ep 9 was a roadbump for me because it was kinda eh in comparison but ep 10 was great and 11 fantastic

        I heard ep 9 wasn’t great, which is why I delayed watching.. but I’m glad to see it’s back on track! I didn’t want to lose my love for it!

          So 9 took ages to ge through because of how over bearing Oh Uem was being but towards the end there was wonderful growth for bareun which was an eye opener.

    I meant to post on this earlier, but your post reminded me. Earlier in the series, I found L’s smiles to be lacking. A smile is more than just your mouth. They looked very awkward and fake at times. In these last few episodes though, his smiles seem way more natural and satisfying. So I’m wondering what sequence these scenes were shot in and if this episode of him working on his smile actually helped.

      I think the awkwardness in the initial eps was because he wasn’t used to the set and wasn’t fully in the role but now he’s probably more comfortable around the cast and his character. The actors performances really have elevated recently. Not quite as clunky
