Expectations were high...
Welp.
I had hopes. I thought that perhaps the fact that netflix was producing this would help, but...
Where do I even start? The pacing is HORRIBLE (why are we getting soap opera in the middle of an investigation that had Jay in immediate danger of DEATH????) and the story is simply not cohesive. They say they have no time and have to rush but then they're randomly all lovey-dovey for half an episode. I really wanted to stick this out, but I started yelling at the screen and calling the characters stupid so I'm dropping for my sanity.
I tuned in mostly because I watched The Heart Killers and I saw a great deal of potential in that series that was simply not explored. And yet again I was way more invested in Joong's character (probably because his acting is just better than Dunk's, sorry). Though I have to admit this time around both of their characters are flat as hell. Their relationship makes NO sense at all.
I'm glad to see they got gun training this time around. But otherwise the production is not doing this series any favors... What is wrong with the music????? Why is it just cutting into the scenes louder than the dialogues???
Overall, I could rant more, probably. but some joongdunk fan probably already has an assasin called on me for this review so i will just end it here.
