It could've been amazing.
I am writing this review with 15 out of 16 episodes watched because, I needed a break and needed to vent a little. Besides, I highly doubt watching the end is going to change my mind about this train wreck of a drama.
How is it that I went from being anxious for the weekend to come so I could watch this to literally forcing myself to finish? It was so freaking good when it started!! Those first two episodes were perfect!!! the fight scenes are so cool, the characters so likeable and my god The villain is beyond cool!! I saw another reviewer complain about him, something along the lines of " how can such a small man be so menacing" and that's actually the point, a small frail looking man that holds so much power that no one dares to touch him. Oh Jungse is a wonderful actor, an actor so brilliant that even in the worst of scripts he will turn out a 10/10 Characterization and Good boy is an excellent example of his brilliance.
The story just started unraveling and going nowhere and everywhere at the same time.
Dongju is annoyingly stupid and stubborn to the point that if he were a real person he would've died a long time ago! god if he weren't so pretty I'd slap him!
I am going to finish this disaster only because I need to see the captain survive this, I need to look at Bogum's smile a little longer and enjoy the wonderfuly played villain that is being wasted here. Also it's not that I don't like the romance plot,but, it would've been better without, not every story needs a romance plot and this one would've been far cooler if ot were just action comedy centered.
OK, so I finished it, the final episode was fun, I laughed a lot and really enjoyed the fighting scenes. If only they had done 8-10 episodes and cut the romance plot this would've easily been a 10 as it is I think a 6 is more than fair.
