An all-out shootout. But I liked it (despite the game-like shooting LOL). Give Kim YoungKwang more leading roles…
But it doesn't really make sense that 10-12 mercs are WAITING AROUND for Lee Do to grab their weapons and shoot them all in sequence - like in one scene you can even see that while Lee Do is killing off two mercs one after the other, a third is in the background, not even poiting his gun at him, waiting for his turn LOL. Like, WHAT? :D
He also got shot with a dozen bullets in the scene where his captain was killed and STILL none of them hit any vital points, he's out and about in three days or so LOL. Talk about plot armour :D
WHY THE HELL didn't the police/special troops lock the freaking stadium or what?! They're in a special situation already declared, almost to martial law state, and they did not even block everyone from coming to get ~free~ guns. That doesn't make sense. And the guys they did send to the stadium were like regular traffic patrol, LOL, not the SWAT or something, in way too few numbers to even try to intervene.
Anyway - we'll pretend it makes sense because drama.
I'm going to quote Neo on this drama, after 4 eps LOL - it's basically ~I need guns. Lots of guns.~
The action choreos are amazing (particularly the ones with big guns, the knife fights are good also but there seems to be a disbalance of power, Lee Do is way too OP for these poor goons.
This has a feeling of ASFK and Bloodhounds combined, LOL. I like it.
And I like Moon Baek too - it's pretty obvious who he is, with his workplace and all, but I like the crazy in the character.
What is that synopsis though. Everybody and their pets who watched ASFK1 are waiting for the showdown between JJM and Bale and we're getting basically a spin-off? :( Because it sounds like Bale is in the cast and not dead and then what the heck was JJM doing that night?)
I just went from anxiously waiting to anxiously hoping they don't retcon the first season and destroy it.
Why the hell would they wait for freaking TEN YEARS to get married though?! Didn't they confess their love in…
She married and remained married to that idiot who tormented her for ten years then killed her so now she doesn't want to get married UNTIL the date of her first death and then suddenly she asks her new (of ten years new) lover in marriage?
Listen, I know it's fictional but that isn't some out-of-the-blue girl-power move, it's bad writing. Not that I care any more, actually. I've already said I don't even want to remember those scenes for the sake of what came before, which was good. But I guess it's not to be, hélas.
Why the hell would they wait for freaking TEN YEARS to get married though?! Didn't they confess their love in…
She even TELLS him he ~doesn't love her because he thinks she's actually 37~, so we can presume his own age (before dying first) was also around 37.
And they come back to being 27 or thereabouts, fall in love, and wait 10 years before making it official?! WHY?? Mentally they'd already be almost in their 50s, physically they'd approach their 40s again, why even bother at that point?
TBH I expected the anniversary of her initial death to be something they'd remember being a married couple, not an occasion to propose.
I don't even want to think about it again, it's been so disappointing for me.
The eps where it was just a low-grade horror story were much better. The police plot also went well (especially…
Like, if you make it a fantasy, you have to explain or expose the rules. It doesn't work with "oh well, there's this chick - or more - who can see sex lines, and basically everyone who gets some special glasses can see them too and they ALL end up going mad and killing every sex partner they ever had."
Umm, no. When it's horror, the lack of understanding is the reason it brings fear - things get very bad and you don't know why. But when it's fantasy - it can be as original as they want, but there has to be some structure.
Nevermind all the missing plot points. Like, how come SeonAh's gradfather molested her - she doesn't know? So she was a kid when it happened? Or if she didn't know, why didn't she freak out when she got the glasses? Didn't she wonder where she got that line from? Or if she knew, why did she never tell and didn't really seem bothered by the assault in her actual normal life?!
Or, what about the girl in the first two eps, the bully who was involved with the language teacher? She suddenly disappeared.
Or, why do people in HyeonHyeop's life have to die?! And why did her only lover had to die in that specific way?! I mean, you could understand he got hit by a car coming back to her, but a roof part falling on him so that he's pierced by iron bars in three places - overkill much?!
And how come GyuJin can make her own sex lines disappear? 'Cause she was giving Det. Han good competition on who has more (she won it.) And why did she know who HyeonHyeop was in the first place? And why was she sending b-day cards every year?
So in short... this tried hard to make an impression, and it went really well for 5 eps. then in the 6th decided to make it nonsensical and sadly they managed. Too bad.
The eps where it was just a low-grade horror story were much better. The police plot also went well (especially after he got the glasses). But then they had to have a master switch and turned it into fantasy... and while SK is great at making horror stories, they really suck at modern fantasy, sorry.
Be real for once, how do you think they passed it through censorship?! They needed a reason that they couldn't…
I meant it, LOL.
Jin Ling has one maternal biological uncle (Jiang Cheng,) three paternal biological uncles (Jin Guangyao, Jin Zixun, and Mo Xuanyu,) one adopted maternal uncle (Wei Wuxian,) and four additional uncles by sworn brotherhood (Nie Mingjue, Nie Huaisang, Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji.)
So while not all of them are directly linked by blood, they are all technically his uncles. And the best truth is the technical truth LOL.

Give Kim YoungKwang more leading roles where he can sport that wicked smile and that mane of glory - he's mesmerising. Also Kim NamGil - so fine.
The plot - what plot? - was okay, my favourite villain is still Anchovies Man, some pretty good songs in this one, too.
Also, MLC's ending is pretty clear, no HEA, he's gone.
The action choreos are amazing (particularly the ones with big guns, the knife fights are good also but there seems to be a disbalance of power, Lee Do is way too OP for these poor goons.

PS Also, gun-knowing people, is it normal for a person to take around 10 rounds and still not die?!
But then the ep ends with "Which one of you bastards ate my anchovies" and I'm sat for this LOL. That was badass.
Err, am I rooting for the 1st ep's bad guy?...
