The editing & the plot in the last few eps were jarring and confusing in a very bad way . What a mess! But I liked the rest of the story, it's top notch cinematography and some of the OST.
Their last meals in ep 4 were all mouthwatering made me swallowing my saliva often while watching 🤤🤤. The recent episodes with Kim Ha Neul (Ep 3 & 4) contained so many hearwarming scenes despite this was their first time they meet each other. I can relate with their awkward first meeting! 😂 But thanks to her cheerful personality, everyone got close to each other faster even Ro Woon who always looks so shy with the guest also got close to her faster and they all looked so comfortable in each other companion.
I enjoyed the first half more than the last half. The last few episodes were quite boring . I stayed for LSY & LSG. What happened in ep 15 was ridiculous to the point that it was laughable where a bunch of police with firearms could'nt even win against one criminal who holds A KNIFE . They did not even tried lol 😂
I 'm not familiar with any of the cast before . Started this because of that high rating and I'm in the mood for something like this. Good acting of the main cast especially Tan Jianci . The plot was too slow to my liking and boring at times. It was slow in the first few episodes then picked up in the middle but lost its momentum towards the end . Some of the case were interesting and keep me at the edges of my seat. My most fav case was the case of skeletal remains found in the field. At times,I think the idea of the ML was able to sketch the correct face of people from a very blurry cctv video and from skeletal remains were too unreal like really... you can imagine their real face just by looking at that thing?? He must have a superpower to be able to do that lol 😂 But all the paintings and sketches in this drama were one of its best aspect , they were beautifully done👍
I was one of the people who got excited prior to the airing of BM but when I finally watched this, it was truly a disappointing experience to me. I did not enjoyed 80% of the drama. Because I don't want my precious data used to download full eps go to waste so instead of quitting early I had to force myself to finish this one like I did with Snowdrop, Jirisan.
I don't feel the plot at all . They tried to do everything heroically but the execution just felt flat and cheap to me. That Big Mouse organization was only powerful in name but not in reality. Thanks to big mouths who overhyping this organization from the start, they made me expected more when I really should not. When the real BM was revealed , I was so disappointed . He had no charisma & no authoritative vibe as a person who supposed to be a leader of such organization.
Miho's death was cruel ,pointless and unnecessary. Can't they atleast wait until CDH got his punishment to kill off her character mercilessly like that? They claimed many got cancer as a side effect of that radiated waste water , most of them took some time before they died on their deathbed like that Tak guy but not with Miho. One day she just dropped and not too long , gone just like that. If they tried to show a lot of time has passed in prior to her death I don't buy it. She deserved better .
We never really see what they really do in that secret lab. What was that NF9 anyway? What was the end product and its use ? And that darn paper that started everything. I was rather surprised that other than Prof Seo no one else in Gucheon even bother to check water sample while this shit been happening for 30 years that made many lost their lives . Where were the victim's family members? I want to see few of them at least tried to oppose that 85 years old grandpa. Sure sure that grandpa was so powerful...
I don't get husband and wife vibe from the main leads. Their relationship was more like two close friends who supportive of each other.
The ending also was kinda out of place and so sudden. You would think 16 episodes with 1 hour of each episode would have less chance of having a rush ending but you're dead wrong . They just need 10 minutes, just 10 minutes to explain the most important part of the story. Meh. If they want to pull the same vincenzo ending to the bad guy, why bother tried so hard to be the good guy from the start .They should do it earlier so that not many episodes wasted just to get the bad guy behind the jail and BM would end at 12 episodes which would be doing us a lot of favor and save our time maybe I would rate this even higher than a 6. I don't really mind a realistic ending because in rl that ending would happen but I don't like the way they did it here.
In conclusion , BM for me was the most disappointing drama of this year. I don't recommend it unless you're a big fan of Lee Jong Suk or Yoona or Kwak Dong Yeon.
Just finished last night and I can’t move on. Been watching clips all day.
🙋♀️ Finished this 3 weeks ago and still can't move on from this .. I delved into Immortal Samsara right after finished this one (to avoid emptiness this drama left me) and guess what, now my withdrawal symptoms become double thanks to both...😭
Why is the rating this low? This drama is better than an 8.1.
Because this drama have yet found its correct watchers. Most ppl rated it low because this drama was not made for them (no standard on how to know this, need try & error so can't really blame them for rated this low) for not every drama is everyone's cup of tea. As for myself ,I really enjoyed this one . Link was not perfect but I liked the mystery,the plot,the pace &the romance .Backstories of side characters also were pretty interesting.
Ep 1 not so much fun but I really enjoyed watching this starting at Ep 2 . Ep 3 and 4 were the funniest so far. Kyungsu and Inyeop were effortlessly funny and adorable! They should starred in more variety show after this. I also loved watching friendship between Kyungsu-Dongyeon, Bogum-Yoojung.
