Tried to pick this show up again after taking a break for a few days. Ep 14, 8 mins in, and I’m already so annoyed at Cha Ji Won. Why the f- would they write her like this???
Ep 13. Seriously? After all that “I’m on my husband’s side no matter what” talk, she checks his fingerprints, which are not registered, and arrests him? Wtf.
Starting around episode 7, does anyone else find Ji Won… (to be continued in reply)
… a bit aggressive in how she’s trying to make Hyeon Su slip up about his real identity? I’ve been finding it difficult to watch these scenes where she makes these pointed comments. I’m in episode 9 now, after she invited herself to Mu Jin’s place, and I was just so uncomfortable and cringing when Ji Won was there. I get that she feels betrayed, but I could’ve sworn she had some spiel about the past not mattering before.
I really want to like this show, but there’s something about the pacing and/or writing that doesn’t hold my attention. I will keep watching because I want to see Yoo Yeon Seok act out more characters, but I’ll keep my phone nearby for when I get bored.
Did anyone feel a bit annoyed by jisoo's acting? I feel like compared to the seasoned actors around her she could…
I thought she was being a blank slate on purpose so I the audience can more easily imagine themselves in her shoes. Or maybe I’m giving the writers too much credit 🤷♀️
1) I was disappointed in the show overall, after it stopped focusing on the VR the pace went a bit stilted and the script/story was quite typical office romance. 2) I’ve only seen Seo In Guk in Doom at Your Service, and that show allowed him to express a wider range of emotions. He was mostly aloof/brooding in this show.
Barely finished. These things desperately need script editing. Why make your characters stupid? There's doing…
I discovered that the writers for this show are the same writers for Sisyphus: The Myth. That show also annoyed the heck out of me for the stupid characters. My theory is that when these writers write a show, they outline the action scenes and “cool”-looking scenes, then just move their characters through them like pawns.
This movie made me think of Kimi Wa Petto. About how surviving in this modern world and the stresses and pressures of everyday life can make one lonely, weary, and take refuge in unexpected places.
If you are on the judgemental side, you will most likely not enjoy this film.
SW selling his superpower and not taking advance payment. These are the people who already attacked him a few times. Does he really trust them to let him walk out of there with the cash when he’s powerless? Again, I can tell what they’re setting up for, the rogue scientist will help him somehow, and he’ll use the bag of cash to wreak havoc on the lab. But I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch another episode, even though they’ve just introduced Lee Chae-min’s character.
P.S. He rushed to sell his superpower so that there’ll be no proof when the police finally catch up to him. What does he think he’s being accused of? Didn’t quite catch it, I was probably too busy being annoyed at the show.
Edit: I needed a background show for while I’m doing chores, so I thought I might as well continue where I left off as I don’t intend to pay full attention anyway. Apparently the whole selling-the-superpower bit was a con to get into the lab, where a safe containing (non-digital) documents they happened to need was right there in the same room used for extracting superpowers. How convenient for them, eh? Then to continue the trend of our characters acting in frustrating ways, our hero has 4 billion won, none of it in his pocket even though he’s running away from armed mercenaries, which he then loses because he decides to answer a call 🙄🙄. I mean c’mon, I know we can’t make it too easy for him, but did he have to lose that money that way??
