Gay bait, very crude cheesy plot

Boring and useless plot. The dude hangs out with a female so close he can SMELL her, so of course his hormones know she is female.... making fun of him thinking she is male is just ridiculous This drama is of disservice to all gay people
I guess it was popular before we got tons of BL dramas and ppl wanted to watch at least something gay

Classic; great for exposing new ppl to kdramas

This is one of those cheesy old time dramas that are just CLASSIC! There is so much beautiful scenery, there is great humor, and there is a fun plot

I think this is an epic drama witih great messages and a great starter kit for newcomers to kdramas

Some of the scenes are classic - like merman getting the FL to enter the house again LMAO

it has great environmental messages
and transformation messages

Unfortunately, this is real :) the drama is frilly but ep 8 from min 31 has THE message

This is so ... well... I dont know how to say it - so revealing of Chinese culture, this very strong belief that this is real. And in fact... it is :)

The filming and topic totally reminds me of Stephen Chow movies, such as Kung Fu Hustle and its dark poor and/or underground hoods. And It has this wickedly twisted dark humor, such as Third Crown Prince looking like a hippie-biker with a lollypop...

The movie has all this glitz special effects
but the value of the movie is the very rare but powerful dialogue, such as Buffy's dying message towards the end of ep 8, starting at min 31.

She asked him to love the world for her, whether it is messy and even the gods cannot do anything about it.
She said: "I that the ones who might really change the world for the better are just ordinary people like us. "

She asked him to wish for world peace. Bc -
An old man told her once:

magic cannot defeat spiritual power,
spiritual power cannot defeat karma,
and karma cannot defeat a wish.
So a person with a wish is strongest of all.

So actually the drama should be rated 10 for the messages
I gave it 8 bc of all the frills :) I watched ep 1,2 and then fast forwarded through all the special effects etc
and watched ep 8

Buffy Chen is an amazing actress, really.
ML actor is ... meh...

Flashy catchy bombastic story but mostly without meaning

I watched ep 1-7, 14 of Judge from hell and it was mostly a waste of time, I had to fast forward through most of it, it is not a masterpiece drama in my opinion. It is a little too ... cheesy and gory. It lacks good dialogues. It is flashy catchy stuff but not so ... meaningful. It raises some good questions but the way is too bombastic and sensationalistic. Yeah, FL and ML nailed their roles, but still, ML role does not show him off as well. The drama is made for FL to have fun acting LOL

When I watch something, I ask myself: what am I learning?
and for this drama, I cannot say that I learned anything

It is "fun story" drama without much if any meaning

AMAZING! so well done.... until ... ep 6... then you realize this was a collywood delusion

It is really a horror movie in disguise. It is scary and has quite some gory parts. Luckily not tooooo toooooo gory, you can easily skip the gory parts. It is hard though bc they are shown quite fast. Be ready with the fast forward button.

I really like use of makjang acting to act scenes about topics that do not matter, and "acting like in real life" to show topics that DO matter. It makes the drama go fast.

The movie plays on some Chinese / Taiwanese stereotypes that I am not familiar with. Clearly, it is a culture steeped in superstition. There must be some delulu in this drama based on some play on what is true, but I am not familiar to say exactly what.

Like in Western movies, where families are broken and everyone is separate and single and lonely, isolated, depressed; and it is a consumer society where everlasting personal satisfaction happens super fast without any effort, there is this delulu idea of getting all happy bc you found the right person who loves you - and then INSTANTLY AND FOREVER your life becomes supper happy and everything is great for you. This delulu consumerism plot manipulates the true, genuine human need to love and be loved by others.

A good movie might showcase true things that are now considered mystical, like the kung fu powers etc.

So what Chinese delulu AND / OR truth card(s) is this drama playing....?. I dont know. It seems to emphasize the magical power of caligraphy. Which... is true :) and I am not sure about delulus. Perhaps - the power of beer to unite ppl... ? the "masters" are all grumpy... ?

For the first 5 episodes, I thought it was a great drama. Then ep 6 was super cheesy copy of kdramas - going to an amusement park and playing on the claw machine (to claw out a prize out of a glass box full of prizes). I ALSO NOTICED THEY ADVERTISED THE BEER... the dad and son and mother and son drink beer together...

And the story got pretty cheesy... All "help me cases" were obsessions of live people...

Soooo at the end of ep 6, I fast forwarded to ep 12 and found the (dead) dad encouraging the son to drink beer... THAT was a sure sign this drama was totally a trap...

And then I quit. I got tired of ML actor ONLY grumpy face, of drinking beer by manipulation, etc and I quit this as Collywood.

Written after ep 1: this drama uses makjang exaggerated acting to show things that are not important, and "like real life" acting to show what is important. It saves so much time!!!!
Only one half of episode 1 was enough to totally set the background story of ML's life.

The story is well done and the acting is well done for the first 5 episodes. ML is young but that actor is excellent.

But he never smiles and stays super grumpy or the entire drama. One time he smiles, it is visible he has bad teeth. Too bad. He is a handsome guy and a phenomenal actor, he needs to fix his teeth so that he act roles with smiling too. And of course, for his own health.

I got tired of watching his grumpy face all the time. He needs to change facial expressions... imo.

An easy comfortable watch, i.e. good script, good filming, good family drama, lots of good actors

This drama is a breath of fresh air, showing normal people doing normal things, it FLOWS easily and effortlessly.... it is an enjoyable watch. The quality of this drama is on par with any miniseries.
In the Discussion section, ppl say this is an easy watch, bc there are no snags, sufferings, dragging, etc. The drama just flows naturally and easily. That means - good script, good filming, and good acting.

ML starts to be more than just a pokerface around ep 10, and that enlivened the drama a lot. ML-FL and SML-SFL and any combo of those 4 interacting is very fun to watch.

There are plenty seasoned actors in there too, which makes it interesting to watch. My fav is Grandma from the restaurant.

Last but not least, i love the styling in this drama, each character has unique and consistent styling that makes the character more believable.
The camera and production are great too, visually it is seamless and interesting.
and the music is really fun, really matches the plot

overall, highly recommended so far

This is a classy drama on par with any drama out there

It is only 9 bc there was some cringe with FL in early episodes, she was .. hm.. immature... and ML was poker faced snotty snub and hat was just boring and ugly...
and luckily, ML became a lot more lively and FL dropped the cringe, and how those two play off each other is just HILARIOUS. They are a very endearing and fun couple

ML actor has a knack for acting friendly scenes, he is very charming and endearing, and FL bounces off him in most hilarious ways' and SML and SFL are acted perfectly. So it is fun to watch

====
I am starting to sync up with this drama because it is normal and pleasant and comfortable and ML finally started to wake up, so the scenes ML-FL and SML-SFL and any combo are totally hilarious and well done. I loved the senior home, ride home and the restaurant. The arrows were HILARIOUS :) I loved grandma and grandpa in bed. It is nice that Uncle and Aunt also love each other, and have a good bed life too. I like how the drama is showing love in many different ways.
In terms of looks, this is a well done drama, everyone is styled perfectly, so it is a PLEASURE to look at them. I love the "prefection" look of SML and her classy outfits, hair and jewelry, and I love the vibrant energetic look, smile and white teeth of SML who just exudes good health, and I love his clothes, looks really good on him,
and today I was studying fashion, ML looks good in light blue shirt and shiny jacket. and FL is actually cute and her clothes fit her character. I love the navy vest and blue-gold tie of SML's dad.

ML is excellent in "friendly" scenes, that is where he really shines and is super cute and charming. The serious snotty poker face scenes just are NOT for him. Then he is just a scrawny little nothing. The drama should let him go free with displaying good times and affection and humor. The bike ride home was HILARIOUS :) That's why I want to feed him and send him surfing, he gotta keep up with that strong lady.
Bc ML woke up, FL can now act more. FL actress has many facial expressions and really has fun acting off ML, and is great for comedy. I am enjoying watching her bc she is so lively and energetic.

I love watching the Grandma next door :) she is fun

Has so much potential but is ruined by bad directing and script

The "core" of the script plot is great and the actors are very capable - and then all that was just thrown out.... , Some moron made the capable actors act cringe.
ML is made to act poker-faced, 99% limited in his acting and extremely boring cardboard character;
FL is made into a stupid petty damsel in distress in ep 2 in the village /with ML - but she was confident and smart in ep 1 in the city;
and SML is made into a very ... simple fangirl/idol type character. And Ep 2 is filmed in a super simplistic and rather choppy way, and nothing is funny.

To save the drama, ML actor has to be allowed to express as much as possible - make him human!, FL has to STILL have those creative, confident, smart qualities she had in ep 1, and SML needs to be more than just a pretty boy.

To me, ep 1 was so enjoyable bc ML had only comedic scenes in the village, FL had amazing professional success scenes, informative personal scenes, and the villagers provided the energetic, warm scenes.

Then it all fell apart in ep 2.... FL came to the village and behaved like a total loser moron - ah so CRINGE,
ML was grumpy poker faced the entire time - ah so ugly and BORING -
and SML was used as a decorative object for most part. Ep 2 was filmed in a very choppy way and there was nothing funny about it. Even chickens flying around was not funny.

Someone said FL actress was in Doubt. That is a top notch drama. Whoever just turned off her acting capabilities in this drama and made her act the classic sexist "stupid FL" cringe, is a total and complete moron.

I have never seen ML actor before but I highly suspect he can act and wants to act, bc he looks so bored and forced in his overly simplistic poker-faced role, and his only good scene is 1 second of him being a gangster and smiling.

This drama is just throwing great actors to trash. The director is the most at fault, I think, then the script writer.

So I dropped. it is too bad, I wanted to watch this, but life is too short to waste on trash dramas

Even shorter:
Bon Appetit Your Majesty was a super hit bc the open-minded director let ML actor act as much as he wanted, with enthusiasm and energy. That Director was a genius who saw talent and let it shine.

Unlike the director here who is either a caked old geezer without any creativity OR playing it safe and staying commercial mainstream OR totally out of touch with the drama and the actors OR someone with $$$$ told him to make a cliche trash to sell -
in any case;

SOME MORON DIRECTOR IS KILLING THIS DRAMA BY FORCING ACTORS INTO CRINGE ACTING

And the audience is guilty bc Ep 1 was all about strong FL and the audience found it boring - bc audience is sexist as usual -

and audience was shallow as usual, finding villagers boring, finding old people boring, wanting young pretty faces as rich characters in a sleek urban setting - basically their own fantasy about themselves -

and the audience LIKED Ep 2, ML as cold and shut down and FL as stupidly dumb loser who keeps making mistakes and ML saves her - the cliche plot of all trash dramas - and it WORKS - Dynamite Kiss, etc are all such dinosaur cliche sexist trash dramas with huge following -

the Director served in ep 2 what he is sure will work and turned ep 2 into a cliche sexist obsolete trash-drama

the FL is an accomplished actress from a top drama Doubt and her performance in ep 1 of this drama is STELLAR. Whoever throws that talent away is a moron to the max

But the AUDIENCE is driving this drama into mediocrity at best
So the audience needs to cajole the director to let this drama go the way of Bon Appettit Your Majesty
ML actor is energetic, dynamic and I suspect he CAN act, FL actress is a masterful actress, and SML i am sure can act. SO IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A GREAT DRAMA

"Organic junk food" - Meaningful script and plot, just filmed in a slow motion and LOTS of soap

Watching this drama is like eating organic junk food, like eating organic blue corn tortilla chips instead of eating trashy cheap chips. It is junk, but it is not all bad for you. There are even some nutrients.

This drama is super cheesy soapy cliche BUT at least the characters are decent people, emotionally and otherwise functional people, honest with each other, communicate, work well as a team, the plot keeps moving forward, some script is masterfully deep and most script is NOT useless cheap dialogue. So... if you are in a mood for junk food, this could be ok

This drama is not a bad thing to watch. The plot and script are quite healthy except the FL promoting self-starving for the sake of "beauty".. Otherwise, the drama is NOT toxic.
There ARE meaningful problems addressed. The drama is not overly sexist. The leads communicate and work well as a team. There are meaningful deep dialogues and lines, they are just spread thin. The acting is not bad although there are lots of young actors in here. For a nice change, esp FL actress has a decent level of acting skillZ and that is great. It is just how it is filmed, rather simplified and slow, the script is "thin".
So the drama has potential, it is just how it is filmed is nothing spectacular though. It is not trashy, but it is not ... too memorable. Bc it lacks a certain depth of warmth and humor. This is not a 10 star masterpiece.

.Imo the script here has a lot of potential, bc - although the story is cliche as all stories eventually are the same - life does not have too much variations lol this is still a unique story.... and the plot, at its core, is meaningful. This is not some ridiculous Crazyville or Boreville town. It is just ... simple and a little bland.
I DO appreciate using the kdrama trick to liven the scenes with Nature, every scene has plants, flowers, Nature in it.

The drama addresses some deep and meaningful social issues i.e. therre are meaningful problems to be resolved - both ML and FL were overly loyal to really bad relatives and have lived all their life in suffering.

ML should not be catering anymore to his sister, bc he is just an ENABLER in a co-dependent relationship, making his sister more and more entitled and bitter and never healing from alcoholism. ML ought to help her break through that, not help her stay stuck.
FL was smart to realize what her mother is like, and distanced herself, but FL just ran away without resolving anything..
Both ML and FL's problem is that they shut themselves self down by the orders of their family members very close to them, i.e. ML and FL were abused under the name of love.

The drama is about them now reclaiming themselves. FL is ahead of ML in this process.

The drama is just filmed in a super slow motion and simplified, rather bland... Trying to avoid any contraversy, confusion, and pissing off the audience... . LIke... a low budget film for the masses. Well it is what it is, and perhaps this makes it more watchable by more audience esp western audience canNOT handle complexity and depth, so the dramas and movies tend to get "predigested" to not leave anyone confused. Also, bc of popularity of kdramas, they get produced in mass quantities so there is that "run of the mill" reality...

THE SIMPLICITY
==============
Wow I paused this drama and as I was tryng to figure out where I left off..... I discovered that I watched ep 3 already - but the filming is so ... bland ... that I did not remember any of it, until I encountered the little bit of dialogue that I recognized bc I remembered it bc it IS meaningful. Esp FL has some really good lines, but not often enough :)

The drama is super slow, ie super simplified. The dialogue, the actions, the scenes... are just ... in slow motion simplified. The content is spread wide and thin. It is like 1 spoon of butter spread over one huge 2lb loaf of bread. There ARE some meaningful lines, but spread thin.

ML actor acting is rather simplified. FL actress gets to act a lot bc her script is better, she has the meaningful lines and more complexity and expressivity in her script - bc she has more acting skillZ. I just wish she were not a skinny plasticized barbie doll.

To see a drama with TONS of meaningful dialogue, It is Ok That's Love from 2014 is my recommended romcom, Or, KimChi Family from 2011

THE BAD STUFF: THE DRAMA ADVERTISES SELF-STARVING "BEAUTY"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ah FL thinks not eating makes her look good? Nope. Makes her look like a tired pale ghost
THE DRAMAS SHOULD NOT BE ADVERTISING UNHEALTHY EATING HABITS AND SELF STARVATION, NO EATING, SKIPPING MEALS

FL is so weak, she keeps falling every 4 minutes she cannot even walk properly

and the "pretty face" is just plastic surgery, no muscles bc of dieting, and botox? thick lips, so that she looks like a goldfish with puckered lips. Also for some reason when Asians get rid of "slanted eyes" to make their eyes look bigger, the eyes look BULGING

It is not cute, it just looks unnatural and dangerous, UNHEALTHY ARTIFICIAL
No wonder AI will replace actors and just use their face - but bc of plastic surgery, they cannot even move their facial muscles

Also this is SUPER RACIST, to pay huge money and effort to have African thick lips yet the world despises Africans as lesser. THIS IS HYPOCRITICAL RACISM. This is not specifically for kdramas, this is kinda global

Great idea and great message, just a terrible choppy awful acting trash drama

I wish that this drama were great. The message is so wonderful and the world needs to hear it.
Unfortunately the drama is such trash

The acting is sooooo bad.
FL acting is just terrible and the others arent any better, it is so obvious they are PRETENDING something they do not really have any idea about.

The drama is so choppy like a children's play
it is really pathetic

Sorry I really really wish to have a better drama

Great acting!!! the Chef was too arrogant for my taste so I dropped

I watched ep 1, 2 and started 3 and watched 20 (the last ep) and QUIT. I could not watch the arrogant Chef yelling non stop and quit.
The little I watched, I watched bc the acting is great! I really loved watching the actors!!!! They are so HEALTHY looking!!!!! their complexion, hair, eyes, it all glows!!!! they are radiant!!!!

Unlike the modern actors who are super skinny, pale and tired.

And so the acting here is a lot more energetic and fun. So I watched, although I was not thrilled with the content.

The Chef is too much of a slave driver, and FL is too naive clutzy dumbish, and after a while I just could not take it and dropped out at the start of ep 3. I fast forwarded to ep 20 (the last ep) and fond that the Chef was still the arrogant slave driver. So I just dropped the drama. Sorry but

-------
ep 1 - it is NOT true that Chef fired all female staff - he fired all women but one, who quit, and he also fired 2 men....
and everyone fired was 10000% guilty - one harassed the guests, one was kissing with her boyfriend in the storage, and FL was stupid enough to walk around with ice cubes and cauldron of oil near the grumpy screaming Chef

it is true that Chef did not want women in his kitchen and would have found ways to fire them. But it was not bc he was sexist. It was bc he had a very unhappy breakup with another cook at his previous work..... So he didnt want female cooks in his kitchen. The fun thing was that THAT woman got him the chef job lmao
Also... female cooks were causing him trouble as they all tried hitting on him.

Chef was not necessarily sexist, but just an arrogant jerk overall, a slave driver to all his workers, a control freak.

FL was fired for being dumb. She ran into Chef just as he was firing a kissing man and woman and yeah Chef pushed her away but it is her fault that she was there .

FL IS DUMB NAIVE AND CANNOT READ THE ROOM. ALSO LACKS COMMON SENSE
so that is actually "the greatest"sexism of this drama

Masterpiece in the making!

wow this is amazing, ep 1 shows a new kdrama masterpiece in the making!!!

It is a family drama involving a city family moved to a small village .... so there are tons of fun scenes and actors

The music is sooo fun LOL spaghetti western with the ML village scenes LOL

This is a great comedy. Yeah there are all kinds of real life scenes, but everything is permeated with gentle or raucous comedy

the topics of the drama are not light :) We get to see a corporate-failed dad, school-failed older son, america-failed mom and 2 younger sons, and then ... various mysterious village personas and shady corporate personas....

The drama is really comical yet it is very deep and heavy, actually. That sense of lightness and VIBRANT LIFE PUSHING FORWARD is accomplished by being present in the moment....

Moment-to-moment, we get to see the depth and the lightness and humor in each moment, and the LIFE AND LIGHT that permeates everything and pushes towards healing.

kdramas are masters in that and this is definitely one of those pedigreed masterful kdramas .
It is MASTERFUL STORYTELLING. Showing the muck, the process out, the healing, and the transformation.

I love acting of the ML actor, he is one of my favorites.

I am not sure why it is only 1 episode per week, that is the only bummer.

Overall, this looks like a masterpiece in the making! A really fun drama, deep complex yet fun! The classic kdrama style, talking about super deep and heavy subject with a sense of lightness and humor.

Very well done, realistic

I really like this drama! The plot is the Crazyville ridiculous... The plot is about two middle class families resolving issues because a man left his wife and 2 sons to live with the wive's friend ... and have a daughter with her.
The 1st wife never officially divorced him, so when he died, there was a LOT of problems bc of the paperwork and gossip - his 2nd "wife" was shunned by the society bc she was not "the wife"

So anyways the plot is real, and the actors are mostly very good.
ML surprised e bc he started as a poker face, so boring, but since he met FL he is super charming smiley.
FL's mom is 10000% staunch narcissist but she is practical and gets things donw.
1st wife is bitter but a a good person, giving, nourishing, fair
1st wive's sons are ... wow younger is a hypocritical angry IMMATURE food, and older one is a nice guy but is under the spell of his wife Anaconda Mei, she curled up all around him and is suffocating him... making him do evil stuff with her...
FL is an honest decent person
and ML too. But - both are burdened by their moms, who are both materialistic and greedy. FL's mom is smart and ML's mom is dumb

So anyways, the relationship between ML and FL is quite healthy, so that is promising, they have excellent dialogues

In other words, THE SCRIPT IS NOT STUPID HERE :) RELAX AND ENJOY WATCHING

Made for Pursuit of Jade and Hwood fans :)

Hm... This feels like watching... Pursuit of Jade or something like that....
Totally looks like a cdrama. A gaunt girl-like idol-face ML, male idol hype and worship... overly dramatic and self-important ... bombastic sensationalistic "pretty" scenes... plus psycho behaviors from ML and FL, and basically - two arrogant psychos getting together to rule the world.
Those are the hwood and cdrama bombastic details that somehow should serve as "the plot"

This is male idol worship and also worship of the rich and ruling. Just like hwood. For example, the scene of ML parading on that runway to the throne in ep 1 in his flowing robes - ah so mysteriously handsome... not. It is CRINGE.

I don't see dialogues, I dont see messages, I dont see content, the acting is cringe, there is no LIGHTNESS anywhere, it is so heavy and so self absorbed in its own self importance -

just lots of bombastic flashy scenes -

overall, looks and feels like a Chinese military parade or PoJ or some hwood trash - cdrams and Hwood are very similar, if you have not noticed yet :)

I am out of here, this is disgustingly content-free. It is a cdrama in Korean lol or hwood in Korean

TOO MANY RED FLAGS :) pun intented

I JUST READ THE REVIEW BY OPPA_ AND THAT IS THE MOST EXCELLENT REVIEW YOU SHOULD READ TO UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING BRAINWASHING OF THIS DRAMA.
>>>>Oppa_ review described in great more detail how Perfect Crown brainwashes ppl into romanticizing autocracy. <<<<<< I refer to it indirectly in my review and leave it to you to figure it out, but Oppa_ describes it straigt on and backs it with historical data.
(Oppa_ is a rather sexist person, based on statements againt women in their posts and reviews, so he/she did not comment on the male worship in Perfect Crown... but you have that in my review.)

Farewell :)

Not a thriller but a live webtoon! - Proof that strong silent types only cause damages

WRITTEN AFTER COMPLETING:
==========================
I thought this drama will be about father-daughter relationship, but heck no. It is about Agent Kim and his friends beating ppl up. So this is like a more sophisticated adult version of Weak Hero Class 2. Just fights fights fights

The father-daughter relationship starts in the dumps, they never talk, she is hostile, she keeps important secrets, goes out alone at night, etc, causes MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR trouble and then her dad beats everyone up to save her. Sure he saves her and they hug for a minute AND THAT'S IT. There is no character devopment. even the daughter said nothing changed lmao
and his new job definitely got things worse

Sure they had a few sweet moments at the reunion but then.. their life was the same. Well maybe she wasnt all that hostile. But they still dont talk and it feels ... empty. And his new job will create a lot of lying

AND YEAH I WAS QUITE BORED WITH THIS DRAMA. A LIVE CARTOON IS FOR KIDS. I want to see more character development and stuff like that, stuff that real grown ups like to watch. Not some stupid fights.

And for me to be happy about the father -daughter relationship. I wanted to see them doing stuff together and talking, not him going to get this "new job"

But again someone said, the webtoon is about Kim continuing in his spy life, not about father-daughter relationship.

Kim is gonna be an agent forever - and that is the fun part, and who cares for his daughter - is the message of this drama.

AND YESH THAT IS NOT THE KIND OF DRAMA I WANTED TO WATCH it is too shallow and childishly stupid

and I watched or fast forwarded to the end out of curiosity about what ppl like about this MAINSTREAM bologney and I certainly got my answers!!!!

Tthe father-daughter ended up about the same.. Sure they are not hostile anymore but we did NOT see anything that qualifies them as a good family.

WRITTEN AFTER EP 1: while i still naively believed that this will be about father-daughter relationship :( Apparently, the webtoon is NOT about father-daughter relationship but about agent Kim working as a spy
==================
I like ep 1 as a start. I do not see this as a fighting drama, so if it goes that way, I will be disappointed. I see this as the generic issue of bad parenting. If the drama resolves that, i will consider it a masterpiece. Sure add some fighting as a side dish, but the main issue is PROPER PARENTING. Also it will be really fun to see Ji Sub act more than just John Wayne, Ji Sub is a cutie so it will be fun to see him as a proper father. In ep 1, he is a John Wayne strong and silent dinosaur and a parental failure.

This drama is essentially a story of bad parenting, the doting parent who NEVER talks with their kid and never takes the time to actually RAISE the kid. Kids need more than just food on the table...
There are many teenage kids in this drama, and they are all total clueless morons who lack any common sense and keep causing problem, unfortunately the entire drama is a product of bad parenting
NONE OF THESE KIDS HAVE ANY SKILLZ FOR LIFE = THE PARENTS ARE 100% INCOMPETENT

In Ep 1, this awesome special agent totally fails as a parent and as an agent, completely disregards his daughter and leaves her hanging all alone as usual, completely disregards common knowledge of bullying in schools, and perhaps he has already caused death of his child.

So forget special agent life and skills... when this special agent is a clueless moron for LIFE and incapable of talking to his own child.

SO THIS DRAMA SO FAR HAS A GREAT ROOT CONFLICT TO SOLVE, THE SAME CONFLICT THAT ALL PARENTS FACE AND ESP PARENTS WHO FAILED TO ESTABLISH A HEALTHY CONNECTION TO THEIR KID AND NEVER COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR CHILD DEEPLY AND PROPERLY

So the drama starts with a great generic and widespread issue of bad parenting and kids who grew up on their own and are thus clueless and behaving against the laws of survival and common sense

So... and at this point the drama can EITHER sink or swim

Imo the drama would sink if it becomes an empty shell and be "Weak Hero" quality with fights and special agents

Imo this kdrama can become a truly great drama where parent and child finally establish themselves as a loving caring family and a dedicated team that communicates well and works well in tandem with love care compassion and mutual understanding


AGENT KIM MUST RAISE HIS DAUGHTER PROPERLY

his daughter is behaving in ways contrary to the laws of surivival
The daughter is so clueless incapable of living
and that is all fault of her father. AGENT KIM HAS TO LEARN TO BE A PROPER PARENT WHO TALKS TO HIS KID AND PAYS CLOSE ATTENTION WHAT THE KID IS DOING OR NOT DOING.

IE AGENT KIM HAS TO GUIDE HIS DAUGHTER
