Yeah, I really, really like the direction of the series. The first episode was a very good build-up but the second one was just chaotic in the best way possible. Now we got the background of Ha Young and we will follow his path to redemption. I heard from fans online that the webtoon has a comical tone and I couldn't be happier about it.
Ji Sung is fascinating to watch so far, the difference in his acting in the first two episodes is crazy. He embodies Ha Young perfectly and he encapsulated his behavior perfectly. Cannot wait to see more.
Very pleased to see the rating climbing up to 8.3. This drama was one of the best last year in terms of comedy and chemistry among the characters and it deserved more attention.
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!
