Man who killed Quebec student in 2000 pleads guilty in another cold case.

“Police had honed in on the suspect more than 22 years after the two crimes when a project tracking Y chromosomes — which are passed down from father to son — suggested the previously unidentified left by Potvin's killer was connected to the last name Grenon.”

These are the and that I plan to catch up with this year. I have a feeling I may end up dropping The Legends, because I have very little patience for xianxia, but since it stars Xu Kai maybe I'll give it more of a chance :P

@liztai I am with you on G. Creature. Very disappointed as it had the money & good production team. Usually a sign for super kdrama.

My suspicion is that it was also problem in dynamic between leads.

Park is turning into the Tom Cruise of Korea. He has the looks & skills & sells tickets. He can do action.
But has a hard time with romance & comedy due to being essentially an introverted odd duck. FL could not engage him emotionally.

@liztai It is fascinating to me how dramas that become ‘special’ to me emerge. Such alchemy!

Example: I’m watching a ‘typical’ time-slip murder-mystery kdrama called My Perfect Stranger on Viki. Low budget. 16 episodes. No hype. Good acting chemistry but not spectacular. But somehow the script is very strong (same writer behind Tale of Nokdu). And I still can’t predict whodunnit and am nearly finished! Addictive!
