Excellent writing. A drama that tackles important problems and makes you think. Nearly perfect, imo. Gripping, intense and intelligent (expect those moments when Kim Nam Gil becomes an immortal superhero fighter but after Good Boy we don't care about that lol).
Kim Nam Gil and Kim Yang Kwang are perfect in their roles. It's very difficult to make a villain role well without resorting to the usual twisted grinning psycho mannerisms, but Kim Yang Kwang supercedes all that. Remarkably. Kim Nam Gil is back with another emotional, controlled and fully immersed role after Through the Darkness (we will now forget that Fiery Priest 2 ever happened).
I give this drama a rare 9/10. Binged it in 2 days without needing any breaks, without skipping any parts. The reason why this is not a 10/10 is that the Gong and Go gangster crews had too much screen time. They were less interesting, and I think this drama would have stronger without them.
The writer deserves an award for the script. How to tackle an eternal problem in a way that makes strong story and experience, is not an easy task. The director created many magic moments and the pacing was perfect.
Some of the most memorable moments and aesthetics: the moment when Kim and Gong lied dying on the floor facing each other. Kim Yang Kwang in all-white in the smokey haze, looking like a god almost, blood oozing from his chest.
The most memorable line: Revenge destroys those who engage in it.
After all the morally questionable revenge dramas this is something that can't be said often enough.
I don't really get your comment... I see everything just fine, and since this is the plot, I don't understand…
You must be 12 years old. Pls respect that everyone has an opinion AND THE RIGHT TO SAY IT. Write your own opinion on your own line instead of starting arguments and conducting user warfare in MDL. Being obsessed with rating when ratings are mostly done by 15 year olds is really unnecessary to the max. Now I'm gonna rate this 0.5 thanks to simona.
This is much more childish than Always Home. Wind Direction, and Northward are heavy artillery compared to Our Generation. Still, I will complete this even though I find it too naive. The first episodes were so good.
Lots of fighting and violence for the sake of fighting and violence.. All in the dark. Children are in danger and hunted. Overambitious demonic parents wanting perfect study machines as children. I think this is mostly hard playing on feelings (sympathy for the discarded hunted children) and shock effects (cruelty of hunters). Dropping as I really can't see what is happening 80 % of the time. There's really no substance or the ambitious parenting trope is already gnawed to death.
If you'd like to watch a police team drama fighting a drug ring, pls try the First Shot. Equal screentime for all team members and the team is a real found family. Don't be offended but the First Shot is so much better, the villain is a touchingly grey character. Balance between action and characters' (including villains) background stories is perfect in The First Shot.
I'm going to be brutally honest, and for the ones that have issues with comments that don't align with yours?…
Thanks for this, it's helpful. It's crazy that we have to apologize to the people who don't want to see comments that "disturb their vibes". But such is MDL today. I don't like either actor (ML, FL) so I thought I might come and check the comments. You just saved me an hour for something better instead of checking this out myself.
ep 4 was pretty morbid. Is there any philosophy behind this or is it just cheap thrills from the bottom of the barrel, we'll see next week. I am already doubtful.
tintin92 is so butthurt that not everyone is crazy about her favorite drama that she and her friends are making…
People who want to take charge of a drama comment section are irritating to the max. This IS a boring pretentious drama. I don't know what the domestic audience thinks but to me this is an undeniable truth. The director is responsible, regarding the pretentiousness, not NGM (he really should know better than make those promises, once again). I don't get why people try to deny the way all actors TALK in this very artificial manner.
I do agree that by episode 7 there is a buildup of irritating characters, particularly Jaein, and I particularly…
you must be honest and ask yourself, how much time did the drama spend on that situation as compared to the disgusting characters and sideplots? Are you really feeling the ML's pain? In theory falling in love with a terminal patient is the focus, in practice it isn't.
