There but not quite there
If this was a dish..
It smelled appetizing, looks attractive, first taste was tantalising.
But then midway the flavors get lost. You cant say its a failure but you cant deny you are disappointed.
That in a nutshell captures how I feel about this drama.
What I did like. ML with strong presence/aura and line up to cheer if you like me, appreciates a grey antagonist kind of ML. FL has a job, has ambition and rather knowledgeable in her field. Together there's a draw, a charge in the air between him and her. That was quite entertaining first few episodes.
What the writers should have worked harder on:
- the plot that wasnt much of a plot. The antagonists were clear as light of the day. And clearly the plot didnt req 40 episodes.
- the cases werent written thoroughly and it didnt really highlight the FL's supposed ability
- the FL much as i respect a brave young woman. Theres no excuse for recklessness. In many scenes having been just rescued, cried, she dives into another danger head on. The writing here is a bit senseless. It dumbs down the FL's character.
- By mid arc the ML was written like a tiger who lost its front tooth. No bite. Suddenly the opposing figure we see in episode 1 is nothing but a distant memory.
Literally this drama survived on the strength of its actors. DYX and DEX both delivers. Both have beautiful eyes and deliver the pathos and feels. I stayed for them but cant help cursing a tad at the writers who imo werent up to par.
