nice and refreshing plot!
as the title says, the plot was quite unique and honestly enjoyable. but as other reviews said, seo kang joon really steals the show. his acting is flawless and i really think he suits action sort of roles! the plot wasnt too complicated to understand and all the characters were enjoyable especially their acting!! everyone pulled off their part perfectly and i'd love to see them in other dramas. and im glad romance was a secondary theme to this. it was a really fun watch and i'd recommend it to someone who is in a drama slump right now.
though i do have some criticisms:
- the supporting characters backstories should have been more in depth, especially Su A's
- Su A's character should've been way more significant
- the NIS team needed a backstory
- the comedy and plot needed to flow together more seamlessly
- romance should've also been done better. there wasnt enough to be extremely rooting for them as a couple, them getting together made little difference to me tbh, but the plot and chemistry makes up for it. im glad the romance didnt get rushed tho!
- i know its meant to be a light hearted watch, but there was way too many "gotcha!" moments. realism has left the chat.
These couldve all been solved if it was a 16 episode drama, its a shame it was so short.
- probably the most insignificant criticism but my biggest pet peeve is the random childhood friends moment. it actually boils my blood you dont understand!! drama wouldve been a solid 9.5 for me without it. i notice this in a lot of east asian dramas and somehow people eat it up every time. do you all have some unforgettable childhood crush from when you were 6 like what??? but i was able to look past it because it was only mentioned like twice.
nevertheless a lot of these criticisms are forgiven because it was an enjoyable watch. highly recommend.
it was the first drama i finished without dropping in a long time so my rating might seem a little biased haha
