Reasons for overall negative comment section: It's not good enough for most to want to boast about it in the comments, YET its underwhelming enough for many others to want to comment about it.
Point is, this drama has some good parts and bad parts depending on episode and case. I'm at ep 12 and I still can't tell if I like it or not. I'm just watching for the ending at this point because even Jang Hyuk's character failed to make a connection with me.
I couldn't find any reason to watch it until now. Somehow, my friend convinced me to watch it. She described it as a "healing" drama- boy she wasn't lying. It's so hard to explain what I watched but it's a worthwhile journey.
Diluted comedic version of season 1. Scattered in a few recycled jokes from S1 as well. Overall, would be better if you really treated it as its own drama without having a comparison.
My least favourite part about this drama was the female lead. I liked their chemistry and saw why she managed to make a connection with Doctor Cha. However, I was very put off by her as she seemed over-obsessed/ concerned and very intrusive of Doc Cha. It was pretty cringey to witness but all other aspects of the show- the way they went over the touchy subject of euthanasia was good.
I watched till ep 9 and found it too bland for my taste so I dropped it (as much as I love Yang Yang and his expressions in this drama). The gameplay was abit unbearable imo (speaking from someone who loves games, the keyboard whacking was only funny the first few times). I skipped to ep 40 and the ending ended up being everything I predicted it to be. Glad I didn't force myself to watch through it due to the overwhelmingly positive comments. Recommend everyone to try watching it till ep 7-10 to see if you like it or not.
I had to drop it 7 episodes in, it was very boring. And the random keyboard smashing to simulate playing a game..…
I'm at ep 9 and pushing myself to watch it tho I too, find it very boring. It's cos i'm seeing this flood of good comments and love for the drama which I still don't get. Thanks- your viewpoint is exactly in line with mine and just decided to drop it.
PS. The keyboard smashing is out of hand. Sometimes they do it when the character is just moving forward and it hardly makes any sense. And as you said, gameplay from the players' screens are weird and unplayable.
These antagonists could not think of more efficient or realistic ways of attempting to kill the main characters besides using pistols and assault rifles. Most unimpressive and careless array of bad guys.
