Are every episodes just gonna be "kinn x porsche fight at first then happy ending" ? The whole you don't trust me then kiss me trope is overused at this point. I get that they wanted to make it more focused on the mafia side of the plot on this episode which is not bad because we love some plot, but it's just not credible? How did they let Tawan do his little scene then speak for 20 minutes, like ? Then the explosions from every side even though the bombs were only inside the warehouse ?? We don't even know how he survived Kinn in the first place and why they didn't shoot him on sight. "I have informations, don't kill me"... really? The crazy ex/double agent trope... well okay. This one might just be on me but Chay and Kim is not it for me, Chay looks like a teenager, it's juste too weird, especially considering the age gap for the actors, it makes it hard for me enjoy it. I like that Kim appeared just to save Chay and then left though haha, he looked really cool.
Vegas betraying the major family for so long without them knowing or acting on it if they knew? not credible imo. Especially using a guy like Tawan, like, seriously? he's your plan? It's a bit of a shame that the mafia trope is not credible to me because they definetly have the budget to make it look good, the scenary is very beautiful ! However, I feel like Vegas makes a better antagonist that Kinn makes a good protagonist if that makes sense?
Kinn's choices and actions don't scream mafia boss. He acts like a teenager a lot of the time and I watch him and I'm like "are you sure you're the boss that everyone wants to kill??". I already decided to forget that part in the first episode where he's being chased by 5 randoms and asked a random bartender to help him ??? How do you know he can fight ? Like I have trouble believing the Yakuza couln't take them out if they wanted. He makes a terrible boss. How do you have time to mess around with your boyfriend when you sent one of your men undercover and he did not come back? HOW do you forget about it ?? It just makes noooo sense ! Like yeah you can get distarcted, but as the head of this "crazy" mafia family ? not to this point, I'm sorry. Big died but hey apparently it doesn't matter because they have time for fart jokes now haha so mature.... I double whoever said it might be better as a novel, at least your imagination can fill in the holes I guess. They even try to fill some by saying things like "we were very busy lately" ok? You never are when we see you, but sure...
I think I was going with a lot of expectation with this one, maybe that's why I'm disappointed...
Ouuhh.... I was excited for HIY to be first lead but that's really not a role for him imo. His character is really annoying, and what even was that elevator scene ?? I agree that the hairstyle is not the best but honestly it's he whole character that's bothering me. His acting is also a bit off in some scenes. Another genre maybe could have been better for him I think. I don't see him being a good face for a noona romance, he looks very young already, it's even worse to put him next to a woman who's older.
FL's behavior has 0 consistency, I still can't figure her out, a lot of contradicting behaviour on her part. I think they wanted to go for the "girl boss" kind of character but she's not giving... She just looks and behave like a mean woman, tf is that attitude towards women who get raped "gneugneu suck it up, korean law don't protect us, move on and be better" the fuck??? She's not even likable lol
I'll watch EP3 to not judge too quickly but I think I'll drop it...
The writter really likes to end her dramas in a way that leaves you needy for more ! It's never about fan service with her, she gives us just enough to tell us a story and then when she delivered whatever she wanted to, goodbye! She did the same with My mister. She doesn't linger. You either like it or not.
I said it yesterday and will say it again, I didn't think I would grow to like Chang Hee's character so much but he really is a realistic character and honestly his ending is so satisfying. After everything he went through, after all the searching, all the hardship, the not knowing where life would take him, seeing him grow and mature and finally understand that he's made to always be where he is, that everything happens for a reason and seeing him embrace it and understand that he's where he's suppose to be... loved it!
Gu deciding to quit everything (even alcohol?) was the only way to end his story for me, to think Mi Jung did not have an enough impact that he would just stay in the miserable life he "built" would have anger me soooo much! As for our girl Mi Jung, can you believe she was able to learn so much about herself ? I can, because she was always so smart from the get go. She knew what she needed from Gu, she knew where her problem was and look at her now!
Ki Jung is the only one who didn't get the ending I wanted. Her boyfriend not drawing the line for three years, letting her get hate from both his daughter and his sister without ever doing something about it is just pitiful, she deserves better. Unfortunately, it's the story of a lot of women, I wanted her to leave him and not be one of them. Especially because of how her character was introduced. I would have never believed she would end up like that. I wanted her cutting her hair to mean something... I choose to believe she ends up with her boss later on haha !
I don't see what they could bring for a season 2. His sole advantage against CTS was his memories from his previous life (which btw made no sense because how does he even remember small details from a previous life after years in this new one? anyway). I think it's just an open ending like, brink down one evil, another one will show up or something like that.
The fall of CTS was not as great as I would have expected, the drama set the bar high at first and the ending was not as good. It was not bad, but not memorable either.
I used to get soooooo bored whenever we would switch to Chang Hee, his employee life was so boring, I hated it, and his attitude sometimes annoyed but he really is the most authentic and realistic character of this drama. Maybe that's why. Lee Min Ki did the most amazing job at portraying him, I never feel like I'm watching a documentary more than when he's on screen. He came a long way, I feel like he's the one we got to see grow the most. He's such a good boy and he tries soo hard with whatever life gave him, I honestly didn't think I would grow to like him so much, this is crazy! I was so proud to know he paid of his loan but like the kind of pride I would feel for a real life person. It's crazy how I feel like I'm watching three different project whenever the three siblings are on screen, they are so intimately different and the way the story is told and filmed for each siblings feels also different to me. I'm glad I decided to watch it while it's airing, I feel like I would have lost a lot of those feelings had I binged watched it.
Is there anyone who knows anything about this show and the cast better than the people here ? probably not I saw a tiktok about how the writter of the novel sort of got inspired by Mile for the Kinn character because of his very rich family background and all, does anyone know if this is true ? Also they said the show was very very well funded like 200K bottle of alcohol in the background and all, but didn't they struggle to get funded in the first place or something? Or did COVID just delayed the filming ?
I still like my mister much more than this. This is just above average drama infront of My Mister. Because My…
"very little bit on character growth" strongly disagree on this one, but it doesn't change my statement, if this one is mid to you it's an even bigger argument to watch my mister haha
