The main issue with Cashero is that it tried to do many things at once in 8 episodes and as a result, the final result was lackluster. The writers wanted to combine humour, action and social commentary alongside a superhero powers system but one can only do too much with such a short length. You cannot eat your cake and eat it. It would have been better if they had committed to a specific tone and vibe from the get-go. Having your main character address social issues through short monologues isn't deep and the humour ruined the emotional impact during some scenes.
All I'm gonna say about the final battle is that the heroes and the citizens were very lucky they didn't have to deal with Eren Yaeger, had it been him instead of Jonathan, he would have wiped everyone the moment he would have weakened Sang Ung, instead of sitting there for 5 minutes doing absolutely nothing
So far, after having watched three episodes, I must say that the writing feels lackluster and some decisions are too goofy for me to overlook. Like, the church scene on episode 2 was so bizarre, you are inside a burning building and instead of getting out, you sit and discuss with your girlfriend?
Just finished watching Episode 6. Wow, once again, the writers managed to bring light to another serious issue in South Korea, this time regarding the treatment of immigrants and the discrimination they face, alongside the judgment of female victims and the victimblaming mentality of the law. I really appreciate how this drama highlights the flaws in the justice system and it doesn't try to bootlick South Korea. What it does is raise awareness to many problems in korean society (which extend to a global aspect, too) and make viewers question the way the law works and how it treats its victims.
Is the writing flawless? No. There are certain parts which could be improved. But Pro Bono still offers a very interesting and deeply relevant story and this is why I believe that more people should give it a try. It might not shake your viewpoint altogether but it could make you think harder about what it takes to bring justice to those who have been wronged and how we could improve as a society.
It's intriguing so far and I'm looking forward to see more of of Gi Tae and Gun Yeong's rivalry. I must say that there are some issues with the pacing so far, it feels like some scenes drag more compared to others. I have no issue with slow-paced dramas, I actually enjoy a good build up but the first two episodes felt lackluster in this aspect. But overall, it was still a good start!
I don't know if anyone will find this meaningful or not but I just want to express how grateful I am for having the characters actually communicate with each other.
When it was revealed that Choi Kang used to be in JDD forces, I expected him to keep it secret from his neighbours for the majority of the series or that his wife wouldn't be aware of that and she would learn it later on, resulting in a conflict. I was very happy to see that wasn't the case here. Yes, Choi kang didn't want to reveal his former identity but eventually, when Byeong Nam outed him, he accepted that his new friends should be aware of his past and he even opened to his trauma to Byeong Nam.
Another aspect I really liked was how expressive Choi Kang and Byeong Nam were about the fact they didn't want to abandon each other. Choi Kang didn't want to endanger Byeong Nam and while Byeong Nam acknowledged that, he still didn't want him to carry all the burden by himself and he wanted to be there to assist him, either by offering him new equipment or helping him physically. The same goes for the rest of the team.
As for his wife, I love how understanding she was and that she supported him going to save his friends. It's hinted that she knows what he had gone through as a JDD soldier and once she saw how worried he was about his friends' safety, she told him that it was fine to go and help them.
Just some random thoughts, I just wanted to say that I'm happy with the way the drama handled the communication among the adult characters. Relying to childish misunderstandings or poor communiction in order to create drama would have ruined the story for me and I was happy to see that the writer avoided this.
