Tried to do everything but ended up doing average in all
The premise is very interesting which got me into watching it in the first place, even though a 31yr old being unrecognized in a high school seems a bit too much, it added to the intrigue.
Right off the bat, the cliche bullying subplot was undesirable. Is there really so much bullying going on in schools? Every school drama seems to be showing the same shit.
The childhood love story is a bit overused at this point, and honestly this show didn't need it, it just feels like a plot convenience and an attempt to capture a certain percentage of the demographic as a bonus.
The show presents its story to be really serious and, often gruesome and extreme, yet downplays it with too much comedic relief, so whats even the point?
Certain plot points feel like very shallow thought was given to them, often doesn't making sense in the bigger picture.
Also I feel like the villain's character is interesting and really well portrayed as evil incarnated but no one becomes a villain as it is, they need a proper back story that made them that, here seems to be none. Even at some points her actions doesn't make logically sense or even the motivations behind them are unclear. Its almost like be evil for the sake of being evil.
Towards the end the events became very predictable(maybe because i have already seen too much shit). Like if the gold isn't where its supposed to be then either it actually doesn't exist or its right under your nose. Also as an NIS agent, the ML half-asses his job more often than he can afford, which is conveniently used as a plot device multiple times.
The production team really stressed on the entertainment side, maybe to cater to a larger audience.
All in all, it surely is interesting and entertaining to a 'not so serious' kinda audience.
