starts out riveting but leads have no chemistry. Violence & traumatizing deaths
I felt like this drama was was written very badly.
Here's a list of things that made this rather "meh"
1) The Female lead every so often would suddenly start to act really cringy presenting the girly side of her character & it was not only embarrassing but unbelievable.
2) Lead Male was presented as bad boy/womanizer but you never see anything to back it up.
3) American soldier being named Colonel Sanders -seriously !? It's a well known persona who represents an American chicken franchise !
The started out riveting but
4) the leads had no romantic chemistry
5) The bad guys were too scary.
6) The death scenes were traumatizing.
7)A beloved character dies later in the series & though it's handled well, it was too much.
8) Things are winding down [with the bad guys] Then, they bring them back for another round trouble. UGH! So much tension.
By episode 18 It was tedious & I was really, really tired of it .
9) I was disappointed with the writing of the female lead that was so tough and capable in the first part of the series but who was easily overwhelmed in the 2nd part. She had so many skills and training but a bullet wound to the arm just takes her out...really ?!
10) There was so much of the series that was violent & unpleasant
I liked the leads but they had zero chemistry and the romance was written badly.
Random notes:
Though it is never shown - a couple sleep together which ends up being important, but it caught me by surprise [could they not have mentioned it!?]
Weirdly, the queen mother wore the same earrings in every single shot & they were really plain and cheap looking.
a brief happy ending and then a 4 year time skip! {death to time skips !!!}
