It's entertaining Sort of a mixture between Taxi Driver x Players x Big Issue, though the story is a little strangle build up. Otherwise its really really good! The actors all do a great job! Especially love seeing Park Hee Soon in a different role than his typical serious-dark characters. I'm a huge fan of his and really this is fun to watch! So many new sides to him! Can't wait for episode 9 :)
I dont know.....So this is my 3rd shot at this drama. And again I dropped it. It doesn't give me the typical gripping-dark vibe crime dramas used to have (hinting at the OCN dramas). Something is missing. I'm also not fully convinced by the acting of especially the male lead and sadly also of Go Hyun although I absolutely adored her in past dramas. Maybe my expectations are too high when it comes to thriller/crime dramas, but this is not gripping me.
I'm sorry it's been 3 years. I dont remember how it ends anymore. Might also say something about the movie. If you dont remember it after some time it's not a masterpiece :)
People in the comments saying that the killer was predictable after the last episode was out are just like those…
yes and no. I agree with the gripping thing. But there are specific patterns you can pick up on if you watched a bunch of crime dramas. And that is what is meant with it becoming predictable. I do think this was not a bad drama but compared to some others eg. Watcher, Burning River, or Trinity of Shadows it was more weak. However, as you stated, everyone looks for different things :)
hmmmm I do not know what to think about this. I agree with him the drama was not realistic, but less with the characters (I love the beanie idea with the ml, and the fl with the glasses and her overall character) - no, what bothered me was the case reveal. I think you could have done that slightly less forshadowy like and connect it a bit better and give some more realistic reasons as to why the culprit did what she did. There were some aspects that just made 0 sense. (but this is more a writing problem I guess?)
Cinematography and Music wise? Holy heck 100% amazing. I loveeeeeeed the music and the opening of the series. That was such a smart choice. And his choice for Dvořák was super good.
So in the end, he did an amazing job, but the writing really had a few faults. Especially the more closer we got to the ending. How much he could have changed or influenced how it turned out? I do not know.....
Great start, but somehow from the 2nd half it got weaker and then fell a little flat. Even acting wise I found the 2nd half weak. There are quite a lot of plot holes that make a bit less sense in the end. 7,5/10
Ahhh I have been waiting for this drama (not) patiently. XD I love good thrillers, and while "Tunnels" feels like a complete rip-off of Signal at times, I do have high high hopes for this current one. Plus the promo-pic is just absolutely amazing! Totally gives vibes of the Chinese thriller anthology "The Light on Series". I cannot waiiiiit :)
Really looking forward to how this will be portrayed in comparison to the webtoon. Like we already learned that the time period changes to make it more logic. But most of all I am looking forward to seeing this stellar cast act alongside each other! Hahah and also looking super forward to the behind-the-scenes games.
man she is just one of the absolute best. And I really like how diverse her roles are. From thriller to horror, from humour to romance, from politics to philosophy. She plays everything so darn well, just truly an absolute amazing actress. Cannot wait for Remarried Empress. The webtoon was really good and she is just perfect for playing Navier.
hmm I kinda miss here.......Mouse, King of Pig's, Watcher or Somebody.
But indeed there are some dramas that truly show well that sometimes culprits are also victims. In korean dramaland I have to say I found that less. In movies yes, but series are mostly not truly shaping characters well there. They often fall into the typical category of poor, pure, good person vs. evil one, without truly swaying from the formula much.
But 2 really interesting dramas in terms of moral deception and the analysis of culprit/victim I'd say are the Taiwanese drama "Trinity of Shadows" or the Chinese drama "Burning Ice" Both are so interesting and add so many layers to their characters. Truly well done.
Yes, I think people have overlooked how scheming the GM agency is turning out to be. I don't hold out much hope…
absolutely agreed! I sadly have to admit I suck at abbreviations so I cannot say who it is you are referring to but there seems to be a trend that very bad allegations get completely swept under the carpet....
one character is hinted to have a crush on the FL but strangely the chemistry between the 2nd ML and the FL is stronger so far.
gives me 2010 vibes tbh . I feel nostalgic XD
