Not a fan of the young murderer who is necessarily insane and also dresses up as a woman. Surely we can stop with that after a while, can't we ?
And IQ is classist nonsense (invented to keep poor people out of higher education) and racist, to boot. (The famous world map of IQs that fascists love.) Right, let's stop with this crap, shall we ? Come on, let's do it.
I watched this series solely because of Kim Hye-soo, and she really carries it. Unstoppable, funny and poignant.
The irresistible Jung Sung-il is so funny as a jaded character with a keen sense of justice. These two form a dynamic duo that makes this story, full of twists and turns, very engaging. You think it's going to be a comedy with seasoned reporters, but the real theme is the rich's stranglehold on the media. Rich people who made their fortunes under Japanese occupation, no less.
Park Seo-yeon, I wondered where I had seen her before, and it was in a similar series (a mix of investigation and humour) called ‘From Now On, Showtime !’.
The whole team of crazy journalists is endearing. We want a second season. Oh yes, we do !
Eat the rich. Save investigative journalism.
PS: Kang Ho employs the well-known ‘YouTuber strategy'. Namely, behaving like a selfish little shit and pretending to be a victim at the first sign of trouble. All that was missing was for him to equate criticism with harassment, and we'd be all set.
