This show would have been brilliant if the suffering of the characters had least been well reasoned
I'm in ep 4. Background story, acting, sound track, 90's vide, all great. But the writing? so flawless. The main character is portrayed as naive but very clever. However, the rest of the team are supposed to be at least experienced to have achieved the success they've had so far. Why would they make a delivery after IMF crisis without first checking the buyer's financial status? why sign a contract without reading the TWO pages with the terms that are clearly unfavourable? why accept the confiscation without even checking if the clause is valid (looks to me like an abusive clause, therefore null and void; unlawful enrichment with the confiscation). Why not even consult a lawyer? by the way, the return deal would only be valid with the Typhoon company, why just assign the Italian contract to Pyo instead of trying to challenge the storage contract? That's just stupid, not heroic or moral! And by the way, if he's so clever, why didn't he think of storing the fabric in his greennhouse, a much better protected space FOR FREE than the run down storage facility with the shady deal? And btw2, really, they only thought of protecting the fabric in a room full of holes and run down when it's actually raining?? They couldn't have covered the fabric when they saw the holes? The writing just doesn't add up. No one can be clever and this stupid at the same time... it's not that the drama is boring and repetitive, it's just that it's too obvious. They just want us to watch the characters suffer under the guise of growth/life lesson slice of life. Sure, many other dramas with similar themes are the opposite. Gaps in the story that miraculously make the characters succeed, but I can more easily accept to be made a fool of and have positive-feelings entertainment, than be made a fool of just to see characters suffer for the sake of it...Was this review helpful to you?
Great thriller!
I watched this drama despite the low ratings, negative comments and complaints about the ending. The ratings and negative comments are not a reflection on the quality of the drama, but merely people's opinions. That's fine, not everyone needs to like the same things, but don't be discouraged by them and just try ot for yourself. You might like it or you might not like it, but it is a well-thought out and gripping story with great acting.There are gaps in the story, sure, and at times it was slow. The ending might not please everyone because it leaves room for a second season that might never happen. However, it is still a great thriller, inteligently written, with unexpected turns. I recommend trying.
