Nope
I've almost forgot to review it. Here it is: this drama is sht. I'll try to keep it short.
The actors have charisma and some of them did good acting. The cinematography was good, with some really excellent shots. And.. thats all there is to say about the "good" stuff.
Everything else about this drama is sht. The story is supposed to be about some cops that won medals at the Olympic Games. Thats supposed to mean they are kinda good at something. And yet, they suck. They are useless just until the script needs them to win. Oh, about the fight choreography. Our heroes must be some kind of superhumans. Getting hit with a baseball bat or a metal pipe? Thats oki, they still up. And I'm talking about 20-40 hits. But some other scene? Same bat or pipe brings them down in one hit. No consistency. I wont even bother about punching people with bike helmet on and they fall...... Same for the shooting (wide missing when people are somewhat close, but near missing, as in 5 cm) if they are behind a wall or something), fencing (isn't he supposed to have quick reflexes, more so because he also has taekwondo training?). The other 2 I wont even mention because they were useless until the last episode. Anyway, back to the script. Because it needed to have 16 episodes, the script is full of plot holes, plot contrivances and plot devices. Everything is set to happen in a certain way because the writer needs it to, logic be damned. It gets worse as episodes go by. Oh right, episode 15 is pure garbage. And because of this messed up story, the pacing is also weird. It feels like stuff is always happening.
Moving on. The visuals are ok. Sometimes weird vfx (especially regarding blood splatter), but it gets the job done. I assume the budget for that wasn't a priority anyway. And like I said, the cinematography was good (almost always).
Audio. The opening sequence has a good piece. Also a couple of nice songs throughout the season (I don't remember them now, but I know I wasn't bothered). Also a decent level mixing.
What else? High production value. Cmon, what else. I've got focused on the script and forgot everything else... Oh, the comedy is meh, the usual stuff. The romance is also meh unfortunately. The actors have chemistry and the little bits that they gave us were decent, but it is clear that the main focus was on the "story", the romance was always supposed to be just a thing in the background. Oh yes, about character development. Yeah, right..... :))))
So, stuff happens. You can enjoy the ride by looking at the shiny, nice, cute things on the screen but don't try to follow the story. Everything happens because the writer made it so, if people would've made smart/logic decisions the drama would've been over in 4 episodes. I'm giving it a rating of 4 based mostly on the good cinematography, the casting and the general acting. No return value, obviously...
Have a nice evening.
