ALBERT AND NORA CARRIED THIS
This show had two things I absolutely adore when it comes to K-dramas: 1990 theme and an undercover storyline.
At first, I wasn’t sure about starting it. The female lead actress felt a bit mid to me and the storyline revolving around economic crimes made me think I’d get bored pretty quickly. I’m actually really glad I watched it, though. The story had a slightly boring moment around episode 7, but after that it skyrockets and becomes much more interesting.
The friendship between the girls (and also the pirate group) was my favorite part. I also really liked the relationship between the female lead and her mentor a lot. Their dynamic was very enjoyable to watch and added another nice layer to the story.
For me, Albert and Nora carried the K-drama the most. Their storyline and their characters were portrayed really well, and I loved watching them on screen. The only black sheep of the whole story was the male lead, he wasn’t interesting at all and sometimes he actually annoyed me.
The female lead was okay. I liked her dynamic personality and everything, but sometimes I hated the way she treated certain people. Overall though, she was a good character. I do have to say that if she didn’t have the friendships with the others, she would have been very obnoxious.
I liked the mystery elements as well. The story had a good flow overall. It was also surprisingly hilarious at times, which I absolutely loved.
I also have to say that my favorite character was Jim Mok. I absolutely adored him and wish we got to see more of him. I don’t want to spoil anything, but yeah, he was amazing. I love characters who seem uninterested in everything on the surface but are actually huge softies trying their best behind the scenes.
Seeing all the criticism about the actress being in her late 30s while going undercover as a 20-year-old made me think it would feel awkward. But honestly, they handled it really well and it never felt off.
Overall, it was a really good undercover drama. I definitely recommend it!
