Weirdly Addicting
I must preface that I was completely captivated once again with the acting skills of Byeon Woo-seok. I was in shock for a while because the other two dramas I have seen him in had characters that were so sweet, and his eyes reflected something wholesome and kind. Yet this character was deeply sinister and violent.
Most of the story was good, super human strength passed down to the females in the family. They were smart, fearless and capable to a point.
My favorite was the Grandmother. She way coy and flirtatious, but carried about her business in a no nonsense attitude. She loved her family and was willing to sacrifice herself for them.
The stunt work wasn’t that good. When Nam-Soon was carrying men or heavy things her body placement and angles made the scenes look cartoonish rather than believable.
The story line wasn’t too bad. It was entertaining for the most part. Some of the acting was odd and didn’t really fit the character buildup of the FL in the first few chapters. There was no growth into her character except for the little bit in regards to the fire and her jumping in and out of windows to rescue people. She goes from naive free-spirit to instant actress and investigator in a heartbeat. She was eccentric and her character was over-acted in my opinion. (side note, they should have left her hair long, the haircut she had was t flattering at all.
The FL’s mother was portrayed beautifully. She appeared narcissistic and self-absorbed but had a heart for justice and second chances. And let’s face it, she rocked that leather riding suit like a pro.
The story progressed at an excellent pace, and the breadcrumbs that were left of Si-o’s character made you feel a little guilty for disliking him so much.
The only side story that was ended oddly was the homeless couple she first met when she arrived in Korea. The way the female character treated her male counterpart was a fitting ending. But it should have ended with him regretting his choices as she walked away.
I don’t really remember much of the music as it seemed to blend in too much and didn’t stand out enough to make an impression.
Overall, it was a good show, but it will be a long time before I rewatch.
