I can’t be the only one hitting the fast-forward button, right? The first 3 episodes had me hooked, but these last two have been paced and choreographed in such a drawn-out way. It feels like we're losing all the suspense and tension we started with. Anyone else drifting away?
This drama is pretty much a westernised makjang trying to be gritty and "real" but forgetting to be entertaining…
It’s actually ironic that you say this, because the story is deeply rooted in real South Korean realities. Cases like Yu Menlong and Jang Ja-yeon highlight how these issues are not fictional, but part of a broader, troubling pattern—if you look into the circumstances and scandals surrounding their deaths, it becomes clear. What Climax is doing is offering a social commentary on this very crisis, rather than exaggerating it or westernising at you say. These are issues in the Asian entertainment industry.
I am currently watching and I’m absolutely relating to your review ! I am at the stage where I am also feeling like my intelligence is being insulted by the endless loop and uninspired makjang tropes
