My only complaint here is that good guys look like bad guys, and bad guys look like good guys. So far at least, I mean I just saw 2 eps.
On the other hand, great acting, really cool active scenes, very well done. Loving it so far from this point of view. Also, I love Jang Seung Jo. He is a phenomenal actor whom they really ignored in Good Detective. Poor guy had nothing to act in that one, he seemed bored out of his mind. Here you can see his real potential.. loved him in Money Flower as well. He's so expressive.
I gotta say, this looks so good, the sound, image, all of it... but man, the dialogues... THE F. DIALOGUES .. they just ruin everything. They make everyone seem dumb and unaware, every god damn character seems to have the stupid. It makes everything look like a children's play.
Yes, the fight scenes, the way they are played out are indeed well done. But then they open their mouths ...
P.S : that is exactly what is missing between the two main leads. Yes, they have a very good story between them, but no matter how many times you grab her hand and throw her to the wall, there will be no f***in chemistry if there is NO good exchange of words as well. No matter how big her eyes are while looking at him, it does not matter if there is zero quality conversation. Where is the God damn logic to ask a man having an open fracture if the leg is broken? Why why why....
Please, just remove all dialogues and play the series without them and it will look fantastic!!
Ok so, this should air this year.. I saw S1 when it was airing, yet it feels like I just finished it. God damn pandemic messing with time perception.. :))))
It was very slow and the story unfolds kind of average. Acting was good (as expected given the cast) but the plot was beyond mediocre. I saw it all out of curiousty to see where it goes, mostly because I enjoyed the acting, but it was all put together in sleep mode. By that I mean you can fall asleep and not miss anything big.
1. Ex cop walks into a room and finds a tied up teenager, obviously kind of hurt. Reaction? does not free the…
related to the kid being the killer, his face was not entirely shown, or did i miss that? i just saw some smiles under the hoodie. if it was the second bulgasal as they say it is, face should be clear at this point which is not. hmmm..i'm doubting it now :))
It seems you haven't really watched much k/cdramas as much, fantasy at that. I was curious to find plausible flaws…
i still watch it because i like it, i was just saying some things seem irrational even in the fantasy context.. (like sysyphus or tale of 9 tails... ) but flaws here are not that important, not so far.
There are some choices and conversations one would not have given the context. I know it's a fantasy but it doesn't…
1. Ex cop walks into a room and finds a tied up teenager, obviously kind of hurt. Reaction? does not free the kid, rather takes him along into a pursuit of a killer. Cop of the year :))) 2. You are an immortal being, you fight monsters for so many years, yet you run off leaving him alive and well with a person you obviously care for, not thinking what he might do to that person whom I'm pretty sure you were touched to see. 3. TELL ME! - said she while viciously stabbing him. 4. Weird dude who obviously can kill you decides to run after you, instead of taking the car. Ok, let's say it would be difficult in the woods though Hollywood always finds a way. So you are a scared woman hiding. You leave your bag behind cause who cares what he might find about and your sister if the killer gets it. Ok, let's say she has nothing in there. But why run to the car and well... not think there might be no key in it? And why the hell sit there having a conversation when the dude says I NEED TO KILL YOU when later on it's obvious you could have gotten out of the car. 5. The killer is the teenager kid. Not a monster, just some reincarnation of the blind kid whom obviously holds the same grudge his dad has against her, maybe even worse. Just, try to hide it better if this is supposed to be a plot twist. Cause I caught that waaay too fast. 6. Who the hell spends 600 years wanting to kill a woman and never actually tries to?
There are some choices and conversations one would not have given the context. I know it's a fantasy but it doesn't mean it should be childish. It does not mean I'll stop watching, it's pretty good still, despite these, It's not plain dumb like Sysyphus the myth.
Plus, it did start out good, I can see they're trying to build a complicated plot, but..so did MOUSE and hardly made any mistakes.
Ok so, remeber that scene in ep 14 when the king is thinking about her outloud, confused as hell, well he has his hand up to his forehead while talking, and I started laughing like an idiot looking at his wrist... because you can clearly see all the time he spend on PC 🤣🤣
I was trying to focus, but my brain went all dumbass on me with all the lame dad jokes.. "see, that was a problem in 1780 too!" hahahahhahahahaha.... stupid.
