I really can't enjoy it because of the female lead... Her character wasted the story, seriously. I mean, the way she acts and so on, the meaning of her character is a good choice, but how it was made is really wasting the drama... And I don't like her acting, I don't know why but I find her too fake.
The story itself is entertaining but the character of the girl really waster my watching...
The drama was really entertaining and, it's a surprise but the directoring/production is really good for a drama that was made in 2012, but the conclusion is boring/not enough...
Really? I thought it was refreshing having a FL that wasn’t a complete doormat. Just like Extraordinary You…
I really disliked the main female lead to be honest, her character is like horrendous to watch because she is a miw between an useless character and a whiny one. I don't know how to explain but I really can't stand how they built any of their characters. I don't find they have development, that's the main problem for me. I mean, they "change" but they don't develop. They are just inconsistent. I don't know hos to explain. But I don't find the writers built unique or realistic characters, for me they are just inconsistent, fake, without any development but just illogical changes. I think that's what is burdening me : there is no logical development for the characters neither for the story ; and it's not because it's fantasy. If you look at my watchlist, you can see that I watched tons of dramas and particularly fantasy and yeah, I just find that there is no logical elements/development in this drama, even if it's a fantasy drama...
What the... The writers don't know how to keep their own characters consistent and the rate is that high ? I can't understand. The plot is not that bad but not unique or original, it's quite "déjà-vu". The characters are inconsistent, they feel so fake and bad written/built... It's really a big waste of time, or at least it's how I felt watching this drama.
The problem here is really the writing and the choices/construction of the events and the storyline. It's really messy, without any logical sense and the writers didn't even respect their own characters...
That's really the first taiwanese drama I find that bad and where I think the writing is really horrendous...
It would have been way better without all that romance... I mean, the character of the girl doesn't bring anything, watching her was just watching emptiness and it was really useless... The mystery part and so on was really great so I really think (it's just my opinion duh), that it would have been really perfect without that amount of romance...
Only the character of Si Qi and the story around his relationship with his brother were interesting. Except for him and his storyline, the drama was boring and the main romance was boring and really bad-written and too cliché... Just watch for the other couples and not for the main, unless you'll waste your time...
I wanted to give it a 9.5 at first because the plot was somehow interesting and the cases were characters-related so it was really interesting to have background (even if it wouldn't have bothered me to have a little more of Xio Ke ahah). But they rushed the end and it made it really boring. Okay, the plot was predictable but I was hoping for more from the end. It was flat, without any taste... Kinda disapointed by the end but the whole drama satisfied me somehow so I will give it a 7.5.
What the... ? Like, the first four episodes have nice colours, nice editing and so on and from the fifth episode, we have the quality of a 2010's makjang ? So disapointing...
That's funny because I mean, there aren't really have that much of dramas that are really about sociopaths (or psychopaths). I mean, okay this year we have (notably) Beyond Evil and Mouse (but if you watch this last... yes, actually we can say that the main plot is not really about psychopaths but about sci-fi around psychopaths). But actually, there aren't that many of that kind of drama and to be honest, that's a real pity (for me at least).
And to be honest, if you say "sociopath? Again?", I want to say "Makjang ? Again ?", "Rom-com without any plot ? Again ?" and so on ahah x') (I'm not judging at all, I'm just joking because it was really what I tought when I read your comment ahah - but everyone has their own taste and I really respect that)
Nope nope nope. I don't think drama is the best way to tell american psycho. AP is not thriller story, it's about…
That's not an adaptation. That's just another story inspired by the movie itself. And to be honest, AP doesn't even really despict this kind of story actually. I mean, in the story, they don't even know how to make the difference between a sociopath and a psychopath... And YES, there is a big difference. So actually, I really don't mind a drama inspired by the movie.
I think the same too that he's not the best choice for this drama but not because he's not good, he just not fit…
To be honest, I like to say that more the person doesn't have the "look" for the role, more they are made for the role... Because, if you like to watch dramas/movies with psychopaths/sociopaths and so on, you can notice that they are really good when the actor who plays the role was really unexpected. So, even if yeah I agree that he has an angelic face and so on, I'm still curious to watch him in this role. He really did an awesome job for Lookout (he wasn't a sociopath here but he still played a kind of dual role) so I'm really hyped for this one.
And, that's just still my own opinion, but I don't think that Park Sung Hoon can play this role. I mean, I really like him and so on, but watching him in Psyhopath Diary, I had the feeling that even he was kinda tired of this kind of role. Still, he was awesome but I think he deserves to play other type of characters too
He’s not good as main leads based on his previous dramas. Only good for supporting roles.
Did you even watch him as a main lead ? Because he really deserves to have more main role, he is really a good actor and he really knows how to convey feelings and emotions. I mean, each person has their own taste, so I'm not judging but I just don't understand how you can't find him a good lead/actor if you have watched him in his main roles
If you want to watch a rom-com disguised as a "detective" drama, this drama is "okay". If you are searching for a real detective drama with interesting cases... Please, never watch this... The cases are boring and too easy, the writting of them is really poor... And to be honest, I think I'm the only one who didn't like the chemistry between the leads... I mean, even if it was a "love/hate relationship", it was really boring and annoying to watch... I kinda like, sometimes, this type of "romance" because it's often kinda fun to watch or there is a logical development but here, it's just annoying and you just want them to shut-up... (or at least, it's my OWN opinion, I don't say it will be like that for everyone...).
So, for me it was really a waste of time because the cases were boring as well as the leads. Kinda disapointed because I was hyped for this one.
