Ep 6 was better than the one's before, but the problem is all of what happened in this episode should have happened…
The problem is not only the story. It's basically everything. Even if what happened on episode 6 had happened earlier, not a lot would have changed as long as the production, the pacing, the fighting, the dialogues and the characterisation remained the same.
Very good review and I totally agree! I, however, have something to say regarding Mirr and Marok's relationship: I do not believe that the writers intended to make them seem like lovers. I think that Marok acts more like a protective father figure towards her. However, this is only my opinion, your own observation is very intriguing and I can see where you come from.
Great cast and the story outline seems good but shame about everything else. What happened in Ep 6 should have…
I couldn't agree more. You said everything that needed to be said. I cannot stand anymore these gimmick with showing us every single angel's reaction and the pacing is painfully slow without contributing to the nonexistent tension. Such a waste of a good story and casting.
I am very happy that I wasn't a fan of any of the actors prior watching the show because at least I didn't have high expectations regarding their characters and screen time. I feel for Park Hyung Sik's fans who expected him to be a powerful and mystic villain only for him to have less screen time than the grandma. The writers tried to promote Twelve by having Park Hyung Sik as the centre of the marketing and yet he was so underutilized. Such a pity considering he at least did a decent job with the shitty script he was given.
I'm currently watching The Untamed and you know what? I know many people criticize the graphics and while I acknowledge that they are...bizarre to say the least, at least they managed to make the fights seem more exciting. What the fuck was going on between Ogwi and the priest in their confrontation?
why tf the rating for thriller dramas here are always like this? lol
Since the series is not finished, the ratings will start low, the same happened to When Life Gives You Tangerines when the first episodes were released.
The fact that Twelve lost more than half of its audience after the first episodes and that the ratings are so low and the comments provide valid criticism, makes me feel hopeful of the audience's judgement. With such a big cast, full of popular names, one would expect their fans to blindly support the series and try to defend it but nope. Even hardcore fans of the actors express their disappointment.
Lesson to kdrama directors (and directors in general) : just because you have big names attached to your project, that doesn't equal success and positive reception. Focus on writing and production first and then we'll be talking.
Yeah, it's clear that we are probably talking about the biggest flop this year alongside When The Stars Gossip
