I'm not going to write a review yet because I only watched the first episode... I do have to say that the action in this movie is not bad. Obviously, the CGI parts are very noticeable, but I can deal with that. So far, the overall storyline hasn't caught my attention and I hope it does soon because each episode is barely 25 minutes long with only 10 episodes. The one thing that is pushing me to lose interest is Lauren Tsai. This is the first thing I've seen her act in, but I'm not here to listen to English. I understand that speaking English helped her get the part, especially because they deal with other countries and languages, but so far, 99% of her speech is all in English. It almost ruins the flow of the scenes.
I’m just starting to watch this (I know, I found it a little late), but I’m only 15 minutes into the first episode and my initial thought was, “I think they could’ve have casted a better female lead.” I was immediately not a fan of her acting. No offense.
I just found this drama because I realized I hadn’t seen a Matsuda Shota drama in a while. Sad to say I didn’t even watch the entire first episode. The camera work killed it. It’s like the director(s) were looking at something through a completely different lens.
