I tried but I couldn't enjoy this. I loved S1 but S2 comes across as S1 wannabe. Everything seems forced; the empathy, the mission, the comedy and all. It seems too generic to me. I couldn't empathise with any characters here nor their sob stories. It didn't evoke emotions like its previous season. Will be dropping it.
No offence. I'm curious about something tho, how come these people manage to be unemployed but still live regularly and even give out? Cause these peeps are not working but manage to move around, affording gas fees and all. I see this alot in K-drama and I don't understand if there's a government support for unemployed people or sum. It never made sense to me who's from a country you can't afford not to work, lol.
This all for that hype, uh?😂 THIS DRAMA IS A MESS. The story is a mess, the characters are all a mess. Everything and everyone is stupid. Bro, I'm so angry rn, I had to force myself to watch at 3x to be able to finish this. This drama had no direction. The writer had a good plot but wrote it terribly. It's like a patch patch story, it seems as though you miss a significant part in the story. Dialogues are so cliche and lacks depth. Characters are so one dimensional, rash and they weren't making logical decisions at all. No characters were relatable because tf, EVERYBODY WAS STUPID AND ANNOYING. So many things weren't making sense.
Not enough background on the relationship between Gilho and the girls, what really was his mission cause how could he be pimping girls he cared deeply about? Why did he hate drugs so deeply, yet, still in that environ? I even thought he was a undercover or whatever. Not enough reason as to why the detective suddenly trusted and made Gilho his buddy like bro, everyone acted like they were on crack!
I wasn't even caring for the show but they had to turn it to a saviour whatever, for a stupid child that didn't want to be saved?? What the actual heck did I even just watched?
Just like the first review said, both Gilho and the detective are both immortal because atp, they could be gutted and they would still survive, like bro 😂😂 All characters were stupid but the prosecutor character especially was too stupid and naive for such profession. And tbh, the actresses didn't embody her role well.
I can't even rant enough. The first JCW drama I'll be disappointed in. The drama was a case of what I ordered versus what I got, this wasn't what was advertised to me, it's trashy 🗑️ So badly written for a sensitive issue it was based on. Smh.
Muhak saved the show for me. He wasn't the most book smart person but he was peak street wise, confident, a realist, an empath, a romantic. Dali could be so oblivious and too naive most times. This drama is more like a distressed princess in need of saving all the time.
Let's start from the beginning. I couldn't fathom why her dad could risk the museum being in so much debt with his poor health, knowing if anything could happen, it'd all fall on his daughter. It was such an unfair situation.
I didn't understand the ending. Why was the reaction to the dad video so...anti climatic?? What about the punishment given to the nephew, and Taejin? The former wasn't mentioned anymore and the latter just resigned after a year?? How did Dali and that staff became friends enough to even start living together? Why did Muhak suddenly started calling his Stepmom mom when he wasn't before after all these years? The ending was basically all of them just doing love and light. I also think it took too long for the climax to take place when they could have focused on the romance in the lastfew episodes because tbh, their romance didn't have a solid foundation.
Kinda stupid. Was I supposed to be rooting for the scammers who'd con so many people for years? They were portrayed to be successful, righteous and have a happy ending at the end, while the other thieves were painted in a bad light. BS. Also, how stupid could a detective be? Smh.
A good ride. It started very well but got underwhelming later on. I feel sorry for the main leads, it's the one where the right and wrong aren't so black and white. Mujin is a complicated character, I disliked him for deceiving jiwoo but also felt bad for him for always being left aside. Jiwoo was a strong character, I rooted for her too. I wished jiwoo's dad at least hinted on his real identity to her, it could have prevented alot, but I guess we wouldn't have had this uh? Lol.
I also wished there were more emotional depth to the characters because the lack of it makes somehow to empathize with them. They just act in fights, daz all.
However, what was that last episode so-called romance? So funny, cause these people weren't even that close, a lil trauma bonding and they were removing clothes and she was lamenting over their supposed bond, lol😂 Tbh, I didn't feel bad for Pildo's death, he was a hindrance to the befitting ending. But Mujin crazy though.
Anyways, excellent acting, good plot but not too crazy execution, as opposed to how it's supposed to.
At a point, I was thinking if Kimjihoon was the same as the husband cause they seem to have similar background. I also thought there's a probability he's the first Kimjihoon that was arrested too cause the three men had something in common. So, my imagination had gone to something like split personality or so, although I know it didn't make sense😂 Still, I was still expecting a twist at the end, so it feels like something was lacking at the end, maybe I'll have to look up theories to understand, lol. The sudden arrest was weird too.
Disappointed the husband wasn't successfully killed off. Such a pathetic cowardly bastard.
Take note: EVERYONE IS MENTALLY SICK IN THIS MOVIE AND CONTENTS ARE VERY DISTURBING. Proceed with caution. Excellent acting too 👍
It is good. I almost dropped it because I found the comedy at the beginning over the top and not befitting of police officers. However, it all got infused smoothly with the plot later on. The drama is nothing serious, they tried not to make it emotional or intense like most crime theme. Even the deep/traumatic situations were not brooded on. It's a light-hearted one. On the surface, they seem so incompetent but improved later on. Courtesy of Dongbang, I guess, lol. I didn't see the criminal reveal coming. That identity is not too out of the box, yet, still feels out of place somehow. Anyways, it was okay and good acting too 👍
I loved this. The writer's imagination blew my mind cause wot 😂 The story is interesting and intriguing. 95% of it understood, others loose ends that doesn't really make sense but issokay. I also don't understand most people's confusion about her identity at the end, anyone who watched wouldn't find that difficult at all. And yeah, Kim Min Jeong is the villain😭 Sarah Kim the winner. I only wished we had more glimpse into her actual personal life/thoughts (but I guess they have no business in the drama genre, lol) and more of her and her husband's moment. Great acting! Impressive writing and directing too👏
Btw, she and her DNA not being registered in database means she wasn't registered at birth or what? 🤔
I'm angry and irritated because the writers didn't rate we the viewers at all. What was that disaster in the name of last episode?? Why did everything crumbled? Even their most powerful weapon, the AI and the lab. Their carelessness and overconfidence that caused that downfall was just infuriating because it could have been prevented.
Nothing and when I say, NOTHING was explained. The writing wasn't even enough to show characters and their intentions well. We got the prime minister insinuating he lost someone he loved in the terrorist attack and WHO?? Even BF intention wasn't laid clearly, or maybe I'm not smart enough to dig. Is that supposed to be a righteous company?? Even main characters weren't explored well.
All the good impression from the other episodes just went to the bin with that sh*try ending. The ending trying to make us believe they were alive, which is very much unbelievable. I may have made typos and written nonsense. Maybe I should have written this review when less angry but damn, I'm so offended rn😂
It's a unique plot that's actually well detailed. Good acting, very interesting and not boring. It's also sad to see victims suffer grief because of sick people. Really sad. I also liked how the detectives here were ACTUALLY working, and using their brains, without being dependents on only one ace or helper. However, I didn't like how the last episode was rushed though; the anti-climax was dissolved somehow disappointingly. Also, some plots such as the detective mom situation was lacking.
It's okay. Very interesting to me at first, but that interest watered down later on. They really took time with the plot building, lol. That evil ghost is so illogical and evil, had no valid justification for what she'd been doing tbh. I think the grandmother is the main villain here, alongside the ghost.
I also question many characters decisions. One annoying thing is how characters don't talk, they just don't open their mouth to disclose information or even make casual convo, they just stare at each other😂 If only they talked, some things could have been avoided.
Another thing is the the FL Mom, she was kinda annoying and like a liability. And I don't think anything can justify she telling her child nothing about her father. Being irrational and not hearing her husband out about his strange actions because how could he kill her child from inside her womb?? So many irrational actions.
I know it's common to see but characters don't get old too. They all look the same after multiple decades. There's one where the grandma was young in the sacrificial scenes, and then a year or few years later, while her husband is still young, she'd been transformed to the old actress😂
There are some questionable aspect but it was a good watch. Excellent acting too👍
I liked this one. Like a review said, it's not a fast paced investigation drama. It comes layer by layer and can be complicated with human feelings involved. Moreover, I liked how they didn't bring in unnecessary suspense, the plot development was quite straightforward. The team also worked hard alongside the FL, not that she was the only one carrying along everything which is seem typically in most crime drama.
I also liked how emotions were shown, not just walking human robots, it's quite refreshing to see. The FL appeared humane, not like a machine emotionally, lol.
As for the villains... I'd have preferred more backstory as to how they turned like that. Dunno, it seems quite lacking. Also, the villain's rage towards the evidence came across to me as a a bit of of character because he doesn't seem like one to be scared of his action consequences. But I think I understand some of his fear.
Contrary to some, I don't think the storyline is predictable. The villain, yes, but not the plot because you don't know what's going to happen next.
The last few episodes may appear a bit boring or lackluster but I think that's because it was settling on the anti-climax after, contrary to the building climax in the first half.
Characters were interesting. Cha Young learned to unlearn and is not annoying. The teacher was quite brave. Eun Ho is smart and compassionate. The high school friends grew well too. Amongst others. The character development was well written 👍
It was a good watch though. It's a refreshing thriller compared to what's being produced now in the genre, I like it. At the end of the day, it's all the adults fault. It shows how much upbringing matters. Good acting too.
Don’t know about legacy, but it wouldn’t be good pitch for investors found out he didn’t pay the winner.…
I get your point! Ah. By legacy, I meant him going all out of his way to make sure the money he won reached his daughter, lol. Exactly, it was a perfect ending 😊
Well, from the exaggerated synopsis, I was expecting a thriller with unexpected turns cause what do they mean by "a monster," or did I miss something? 😭 However, the title could have been "everyone is acting strange," because they all were😂 Characters with their actions were odd. FL really took a risk and can be dull somehow. I don't think her relationship is worth keeping though, cause he seems careless. Anyways, it was okay.
Well, it was okay but less exciting than the previous ones. I didn't feel much towards the deaths and sacrifices in this season, just wanted to get it all over. I'm curious as to why the front man was so attached to player 456, and even took care of his legacy. I think the whole island search thing was the dumbest plot to exist in the season. We also have some characters making questionable decisions but I guess that's human psychology... Contrary to most, I love the ending; it is the most befitting to the game of doom!
