Feels Like Watching The Wrong Show
Let me summarize, this show is more like a western action show. The problem is, the reason I watch K-Dramas is because I'm sick of them. The plot is half-baked. Build up phase is really good, but the resolutions are all awful. Too much politics involvement and trivial things in the plot. Everyone is betraying everyone, but at the end of the day the resolution is morelike emotional and family matters. Yes, the main goals for the villian is to rule the world. Sounds more like Marvel or James Bond villains.
The good thing in this show is of course Jun Ji Hyun. Her return is quite remarkable, although it's far from spectacular. On the other hand, the casting on this show is very questionable. Lee Mi Sook is lack of expression. And for someone who acquaintances "multiple lady of the world leader", her English is pretty awful.
It annoys me a lot that they decided to make this as an action show and ignore the details. However, first thing first then. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO KISS IN CRUCIAL SITUATIONS? LIKE YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLEFIELD AND YOU CHOOSE TO... KISS??? Also about the "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Code", doesn't it mean the US is going to start a war? However after Mun Ju and San Ho hear the song, they are being ambushed, hiding and planning to strike back, yet nothing happens related to the war. The ambush at the port is beyond tolerable makjang limits. The special force doesn't seem so "special". It just takes one smoke grenades to turn all the personnel into a bus stop passenger's queue; they really have zero awareness and clueless like WTF. The final ambush is of course a makjang. How come Mun Ju easily find her mother's room and telephone when it's her first time in that boat? I feel like all the internal family problems just exist to shortcut the process to resolution. Kang Han Na knows that Ok Seon is Stella Young (she is the one who tells about the deposit box without name) and she kills Jun Ik, but instead she insists to take revenge on Mun Ju. Hwa Rim resents Mun Ju a lot, now her daughter-in-law turns into an evil person, where does she go? Also what happens to Jun Sang after the boat incident? More importantly, there isn't any clear backstory between Mun Ju and Jun Ik, how they end up together and why Jun Ik's family are against it initially.
Watch this if you are searching for actions, and to see that you can kiss under tense situations.
