I tried for Kim Min Jong but even he couldn't keep me for twenty episodes. The acting, especially by the Seung Il - Yeo Ok pair, was just painful to watch. I'll admit LJH was good, usually a good casting choice. With that I'll bow out and echo what others have said: this was a letdown.
As a comedy action movie, it delivered. I enjoyed the lightheartedness with a chill plot. The villain wasn't your usual cliche cringe inducing half maniac while the one on one fight scenes were more believable than I've seen in a while.
8 episodes in and I was wondering why I couldn't connect with the FL. Not her cause for justice nor her feud with nemesis Myung Hee or the slight romance with ML which felt like it was added by the writers as an afterthought. It's not like her acting was bad or anything, it just felt like her role was written for a support character not a main. Like if we just had a Vincenzo/Jun Woo showdown the plot would proceed just fine.
Loved the show, my Saturday was spent on the couch watching this. I won't comment about the FL's portrayal of the justice system but I think she acted her role well: a bereaved mother who could not process her grief. I totally understand her hatred for the young offenders. We can call for people not to have bias but if you're really honest, we all have it - it's human nature to have an inclination for or against other people because we have grown up in different social environments. We just need to be aware of it, and then make sure it does not affect our judgement or interactions with others. And with those few words, I'll see myself out :)
Ep 10, there's something about In Sung...
