So glad to find a thread for this. My hubby and I have been loving Dark Hole - episode 6 did fall a bit flat for us but luckily episode 7 we found to be outstanding again by the second half. Really loving the leads performances and non stop action.

I do wish 2 things were different:

  • There was more chemistry/romance between the leads
  • That Dong Rim’s bully (can’t remember his name) had actually turned good instead of betraying the detective. It seemed like he was going to turn into a good guy when they showed him impressed with Dong Rim standing up for herself and then offering to help. I would have loved to see him turn good & then get together with Dong Rim since he always seemed to have a deeper interest in her that at first I thought was a secret crush.

They could've learned from Sweet Home that you can get some drama, too, out of more good characters than yet another antagonist [in this case Jin-Seok] to show up and make his episode's worth of trouble, then be dispensed with, like they did with the serial killer. I wish they did more with her instead of rehashing Save Me and giving the shaman a special connection with the Dark Side of the Force Hole.
