Top Tier Thriller! This is the definition of Thriller, the way they went all out in their scenes to benefit their storyline. TBH, it's hard to find a great thriller drama because directors and scriptwriters are hesitant to take scenes to the next level. Usually thriller dramas are R18 but majority of them doesn't even look like one.
The performance of the younger version of the characters was outstanding! Out of all the school violence portrayal that I have seen in KDRAMAS. Only in here, do they do it convincingly.
Highly commended, 8.5 rating is already a high rating in MDL but this drama deserves like an 8.9.or 9.
The whole drama seems so weak or bland. There's not much thrill into it. The story is like Dark Hole but worst. Good thing it's just 3 hours over all.
The main leads didn't have that much context so it was hard to contemplate with what is happening and how they are connected. It may have been better if it wasn't been rushed
They definitely researched well the concept of musicals and produced it with great quality.
At first, when the cast was finalized, I was doubting that the main leads will not work well with each. Two rising stars and the highly anticipated JCW would not look good on paper but when you watch them perform, it will exceed expectations.
I would say, this was the perfect time to showcase a musical genre with great quality.
Highly recommended considering its only 6 episodes. You can finish it in a day.
KDRAMAS should stop adapting to the Western Style. Producing Multiple seasons with a big gap of time is a bad idea. Look at Love Alarm Season 2, the viewers waited a year and a half for it to be a flop.
I just think it's a bad sign that more KDRAMAS are now producing multiple seasons and that you have to wait for a year or so.
So far the only KDRAMA with multiple seasons that has consistent ratings was The Penthouse.
It's my first time watching Kim Tae Ri and she should be nominated for Best Actress this year. She nailed her role and as an athlete myself, she embraced the life of an athlete. The emotions, actions, and critical thinking was spot on. As an athlete, you always carry a chip on your shoulder and that it's you against the world. I had watched many kdramas already and that I don't have a great memory when it comes to memorizing characters but Na Hee Do will be the most memorable character I had watched in my life and she will have a space in my mind.
The biggest take in this drama is that sometimes in life, the people who don't support you are those who you are close with, while those who support you the most are the people who you are not close with. Out of all of the careers that is there, being an athlete is the toughest because time is not on your side. One injury can end your career, one mistake can ruin your career, and the massive effect of media to athletes emotionally and mentally.
Just like what Go Yu Rim stated, "What if there is no next time?"
My coaches and mentors always reminds me to compete as if it's your last, because you don't know if there will still be a next time.
I just searched it up and that Kim Tae Ri is nominated for Best Actress in the upcoming Baeksang Awards.
Damn, Seol In Ah was finally given the opportunity to showcase her skills. She performed really well for someone's first main lead role. I rarely see someone perform well in their first main lead role.
The show could have been better if the screen time was balanced between the main leads. Majority of the screen time is on Cha Mi Jo and Kim Seon Woo. Just sad, I wanted to see more of Jang Joo Hee but her screen time is so limited that her role doesn't seem like a main lead at all.
This friendship concept will not work with this centric type of screen time.
The opening episodes looks promising but as it progresses it's falling apart. I will still finish this but will not expect a lot anymore.
I don't know how to describe the screen time of Cha Mi Jo it's as if every action of hers is important all throughout the drama but it doesn't really matter at all.
I'm not really a fan of dramas with so many main leads, I believe 4 main leads is already too much because of the screen time, some main leads don't get to fulfill their characters because of their limited screen time. However, In this drama, the execution and flow of the story was smooth flowing. At the first half of the drama, majority of the screen came from the supporting cast which I was worried about, but as the story progressed it focused more on the interaction of the main leads, so all of them were able to showcase their characters.
Kang Daniel did great in his acting debut. I'm looking forward in his upcoming projects. He seems like a good fit in action dramas. Chae Soo Bin, ever since I Am Robot, she has been getting better and better. Her charming character in this drama is a catch in the eye. I also like her short hair.
Overall, it's a good drama. Light dramas are something that we always need whenever we feel heavy inside and this is an example of it. However, if you're hesitating to watch this, it's fine. I don't think you would miss a lot of things if you don't watch this drama. I would say it's not really a top priority when it comes to watchlist.
I hope they would produce another season and that the story would focus around Female Serial Killers. It would look cool and engaging! The timeline as well will move forward so it might be more interesting.
Very interesting story about criminal profiling and about the First Profiler in South Korea. I have never seen this type of storyline where the story focuses on the importance of interrogation and the approach towards it. Acting is on point, usually emotions are of no importance when it comes to portraying officers. Highly recommended, didn't expect a lot from this drama at first because there was no buzz but it exceeded my expectations. Looking forward for more Thriller/Mystery dramas this year.
Kim Hee Sun looks so hot with pink hair!
