Starts out strong but gets weaker and weaker, the romance literally makes no sense, the whole danbam "team" just feels like a bunch of random people with some random side stories here and there, they didn't even manage to make the revenge, the "big moment", feel rewarding in the end.
This cast + Netflix - they knew it was gonna be a buzz all over the world, and sure it became something people talk about, but its really too bad they couldn't find a better writer because this could have been so much better, so much more.
wtf is going on here? This feels like an actual circlejerk... Judging a plot after 4 out of 16 episode? Seriously?…
TBH 4 eps of a 16 ep drama is a huge chunk. No one can deny that it could have been alot better than it actually is. Ppl have high expectations because of the cast and writer, and the millions of dollars spent on it. If writing was as polished as see you in your memory or repeat, no on would have complained. Hopefully it gets better.
I am one of those who really wanted to like this drama because of the hype/cast/writer, but the first couple of eps kind of suck tbh. Its draggy and lacks any real excitement like someone else said, it even feels shallow - "Ill make you my wife" just uuh eyeroll... Hard to believe the writer's last drama was Mr Sunshine. Of course I will keep watching and hope it gets better because so far its really underwhelming.
My impressions. First half is almost a 10/10 with an excellent build-up/atmosphere, story flow, intense/creepy moments with the "hunter" (been a while since a movie made me feel anxious, PHS was amazing!), but the second half, or rather the last 30 minutes/ending was so underwhelming. Especially the final fight was sooo underwhelming, almost like the writer ran out of ideas...
Setting, atmosphere, cinematography, BGM, cast, acting - everything is top notch. Its definitely worth a watch but there is some lost potential here to make it a truly memorable flick. 8/10
