The plot armour is frustratingly thick
It’s really a shame, the premise sounded interesting, and the production values looked pretty good.
I’m only upto episode 4, and I’m already considering dropping this show. There are all these events that require large amounts of police/security/special ops/thugs to surround whoever is currently being chased for whatever reason, but they never move or behave in a way that makes me believe they are an actual threat. They get all these extras to wear these uniforms, and I’m supposed to be intimidated by their sheer numbers?? It’s always amateur hour when these groups are on; I’m always screaming something at the screen like
“how are you guys not looking above/below?”,
“why are those guys running *away* from your target?”,
“why are you *all* at the front door and why isn’t anyone securing other possible exits?”,
“why aren’t you all fanning out and actually looking for your targets, why are you just standing there waiting to be attacked?!”.
Regarding the sniper, why the f did that guy wait so long to shoot??! Also, the entire time my partner kept muttering how that type of gun should be doing more damage and should’ve been able to penetrate the podium, and I had to tell him over and over to just ignore it.
And since when can refrigerator doors block bullets??
It’s as if the director focused too much on mimicking cool-looking action scenes from other movies to the detriment of logic and realism. I know suspension of disbelief is part of watching K-dramas but this is asking too much.
