The movie had so much potential, I loved the idea of a 'bored' talented guy starting work like this because of the intrigue of accidentally saving someone from potential/actual harm, and then becoming bloody good at it. I liked Kim Woo Bin's slow development into learning a new job, being hesitant about his decision making skills until he realised his one goal was to keep people safe, and that was easy as long as he followed his instincts. When he saved that officer in the first scene, I particularly liked how he waited for the moment until things went totally south before intervening, that showed that he wasn't a violent person by nature, and only wanted to use it as a means to subdue a target. Which, of course, is a vital quality needed for his new role. Overall a great premise and this could so easily become a great series.
You're so over the top. Bahaha, I love it! Not sure these DILFs will want to F a MILF, but yeah, I have the same…
I LOVE your comment so much Thank You! :) I think the moment you become a DILF you will naturally have a swarm of women swooning over you and it can't be helped.
tbh this really was a decisive factor for me but I was interested in it before tooI didn't even like vincenzo…
Yeah I can get that. I personally didn't like the show after a couple of episodes and dropped it, but I most definitely saw the episode that SJK made his cameo in. I guess it'll be interesting to see the viewership stats of the other episodes compared to that particular one. SJK does hold a lot of power still, there's a reason they brought his Vincenzo in for a cameo after all!
I thought the premise of the show was unique, a gang investigating insurance fraud claims while being borderline legal in their own conduct has so much potential, and in a way this show did explore that potential, but I think it could've been better. There were a lot of "Gotcha" moments in the show that I enjoyed, and I really enjoyed the chemistry between Woo Do Hwan and Daddy Yoo Ji Tae, their initial rivalry and eventual understanding and ultimate found family relationship was a delight to watch. Acting wise the cast did really well, and I liked the other supporting cast as well, and Jang Ha Ri was a surprisingly useful and relevant character. The show was a little too long though, in my opinion. the case they were investigating could've been solved a bit sooner, and some episodes seemed like filler to the original story, so maybe 12episodes would've suited the show better. But no complaints other than that.
I just can't help how much in love I am with this drama.
Acting 10/10: This is only the second Song Joong Ki drama I've seen. But Song Joong Ki's character is so beautifully STILL in this show, he never fidgets, never gets startled, never loses control of his body movements, and it's a very strong character mentally as well. It's an absolute delight to watch all the episodes again and notice minute changes in his expression to the events around him, and he really exudes a natural intelligence and air of authority. His character gradually learns to love, and he also accepts that he is worthy of receiving love, and his actions show that clearly towards the end. In the beginning he is arrogant and distant without being mean in any way, and towards the end he is loving and caring without being suffocating in any way. The perfect character development. Also his deep voice is so hypnotic at many points of time, I'm convinced that's the main reason I unexpectedly loved his character from start to finish. I have become a fan of Song Joong Ki's acting after this show.
Jeon Yeo Been, MY QUEEN, Hong Cha Young is the BEST female character ever written, ever performed, ever shown on screen. She is fiery, sassy, bright, sexy, logical, brave, quick-witted, savage, sharp tongued, and beautiful beyond compare. She matches wit with everyone around her, is funny as all hell, her voice is SO hot. She never hesitates to express what she's feeling, and loves her dad despite what happened in her past. She is protective of those around her, and willing to go to any length to achieve her goals. She is an inspiration to me, and I actively think of her when taking tricky decisions in my real life because she's become a role model of sorts to me. I am IN LOVE with Hong Cha Young and Jeon Yeo Been, and this is the main reason I gave the show a 10/10.
Their VinCha relationship is EXACTLY what I want in my life. They are best friends, so honest with each other, soft around each other, support each other, communicate so damn well, they TRUST and RESPECT each other, believe in each other, take care of each other without it being toxic in any way, and there is NO malice, NO games, NO hidden agendas anywhere between them. They also tease each other, and never fail to bicker endlessly. In the simplest sense, it's the PINNACLE of romance, because every single glance and touch and dialogue leaves you to BEG for more. It's pining but also SO satisfying because I cherish every smile, every action that tells everyone around them that they are a unit, a team, a couple. It's realistic because they are both logical and understanding of their circumstances, and you can clearly see the struggle they both have with their feelings, one wants to love but is afraid that the other person has to leave, the other wants to love but is afraid he will have to leave. The ending was quite satisfactory according to me.
Other factors I want to note: Cinematography 10/10 Just WOW. The fashion, the bars/cafes they meet in, all beautiful. OST 10/10 I have been listening to the ost on repeat even while working, just IN LOVE with it. Story 9/10 The zig-zag storyline was great to watch, but could've been slightly better if less background character involvement was there. Cast 10/10 Each and every single actor did their best, and their chemistry was off the charts, insanely good. Background characters 9/10 Most of the side-characters are interesting and fun to watch. Villains did an awesome job.
Neo-Noir vibe was on POINT. Loved the ode to black and white gangster films, I think SJK nailed that part too.
But on second thought, it's not that huge a spoiler maybe.
