Tazza (2008)

Tazza is not going to be everyone's cup of tea. That's probably why not a lot of people have seen it. However, I'm glad I watched it cause I was able to learn quite a lot...

The story idea didn't interest me in the beginning but as it started getting into the gambling aspect it became very interesting to watch. And then the plot just started to move quickly with twists coming out at every corner. The romance portion is very very light so if your more interested in that then this wont be the drama for you. Revenge is the theme.

The ensemble cast was awesome! Jang Hyuk is love of course but the supporting cast was really really good and stood out. Each minor character plays a large role in Go Ni's master plan. They were quite memorable.

Rewatch- I'd rewatch this in a few years cause i really did love all the characters.

Overall this drama is different but exciting enough. More people should give it a chance.

Strong revenge drama with some uneven acting

At its best this was intense, exciting, but also heartfelt. I was emotionally invested in the ML and his quest for revenge every step of the way and Jang Hyuk's performance was excellent as usual. I enjoyed the main antagonist as well, and much of the supporting cast. Happily, I was also still able to enjoy the gambling scenes even though I don't understand the rules for Go Stop. Things did start to drag eventually, right around the time the ML was framed and went to jail, though his imprisonment itself wasn't the issue. I think that's because the FL and and the second ML, while compelling in theory, were pretty flat characters in practice . I don't think either actor had the range to do justice to their parts which hurt the show as they become more important to the plot as it progresses.
