I very much enjoyed *Fifties Professionals*. the cast is excellent and their comedic timing sells a lot of the unfunny jokes, Unfortunately, the drama doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. I actually put off watching this one because, considering the poster and the tags, I thought it was going to be a heavy watch—but it's anything but that.

The action is mediocre. Don't get me wrong, it's serviceable, but there's nothing here that will wow you.

The thriller and mystery aspects feel like an afterthought and are quite predictable.

Comedy is front and center in this drama, more so than any other genre. A lot of the time, it doesn't land, but it lands often enough that it won't bore you to death.

Now, let's talk about the story. The script is very mediocre. Not only is it predictable, but it also commits the sin of trying to do too much. It's like they had the concept for a fun comedy, but then the studio forced them to add some serious elements as well. The issue is that this creates a jumbled mess of genres that doesn't excel at any of them.

The comedy ruins a lot of the otherwise serious moments, while the serious plot gets thrown out the window whenever every situation is treated like a joke. Then there are the plot issues, like characters disappearing for prolonged periods of time with no explanation—such as that team leader who suddenly vanished and then reappeared at the end. Or how quickly Bong Je Sun became chummy with all of them out of nowhere. And, of course, there's the rushed and unsatisfying finale.

The second half of the drama somehow feels slow and rushed at the same time, it's super weird.
