Fascinating story but debacle project
Twelve could have been an exciting series that grabbed viewers’ attention this year, but it mostly ended up being a disaster.
As someone who usually watches series because know how they end, I decided to watch this one. Despite having an exciting storyline, I realized in the end that I literally wasted my time. That said, even though it was a waste, it did have some positive aspects.
The only actors who truly make this series worth watching are Seo In-guk, Kang Mi-na, and Sung Dong il. I’m surprised at how the rest of the well-known cast—even some of my personal favorites—performed so artificially. Park Hyung-sik, whom I genuinely like, gave an oddly forced performance in this series. In my opinion, aside from these three, very few actors elevate the show.
I won’t even mention the visual effects, which, compared to other series in similar genres, were truly weak and a complete disaster.
The biggest flaw of this series was its terrible handling of the story. It felt as if you had to read a book beforehand just to understand what was happening. Honestly, if the series had a few more episodes and had properly focused on the main events, it wouldn’t have turned out such a disaster. The lack of attention to important flashbacks made the story feel like a rushed, childish performance. Perhaps if they hadn’t skimmed through everything so quickly and hadn’t been afraid to explain events better, the series could have been much stronger.
