Overall it’s an entertaining show with a rather unique storyline. I enjoyed the backstories of all the characters,…
It started off with the “frank” American agent plot that got sent to delete all the South Korean agents, but that doesn’t get resolved and we don’t have a clue as to why he was sent on the mission, other than to wipe out the out South Korean black agents. Then suddenly the North Koreans came into the picture, the reason for why was just explained in a few phrases!! Also the deaths of the antagonists were so unsatisfying, in the end the entire show was about the little chess pieces battling their lives out and dying in the process, while those in power just sit back behind the scenes!!! Only for them to just get assassinated in like 5 seconds.
Overall it’s an entertaining show with a rather unique storyline. I enjoyed the backstories of all the characters, the show really put the cast that they probably paid a hell lot of money for to proper use. However, there were just too many loose ends left despite it being 20 episodes long. I honestly hate endings that set themselves up for a second season!!! There’s not even any news of season 2 yet, but they just wanna set it up so they can milk it if the series get popular.
Visuals can only take you that far. I expected SK to be mediocre but I didnt expect KYJ to be really bad. Thats…
I’m watching this show for her but i also found her acting unexpectedly bad especially in scenes with Song Kang in ep 1. She was good in the emotional scenes with the madam tho.
you meant in the 'home' of Viu? it's normal........ it's been happening for years now......from my experience…
I’m an absolute idiot. I watched ep 2 first thinking it was ep 1 💀💀💀💀 but honestly the show made a lot of sense even without ep 1 for me so I genuinely thought it was ep 1
I think it’s really cringy, to the point I felt secondhand embarrassment watching some scenes 😭 Kim Yoo jungs always been a decent actress but in ep 1 I felt her acting was off. She was good in the emotional scenes (with madam gu was vvv good) but it was quite awkward when she was acting like an “heiress” and especially bad in scenes with song kang. Song Kang is also really awkward here. The scenes where the ml and fl together were especially bad. The dialogues were hella awkward sometimes. The plot is ok, there’s clearly some lore the show will expand on. I think I’ll still keep watching, I hope things will improve in terms of acting and directing tho
Honestly I only have myself to blame because I started the show for the cast but this was capital B BORING. I watched until the midway point so I feel I have it enough chance. I’m not one bit curious about the plot because it’s kinda obvious how it’s gonna turn out. My last straw was when the female lead told the male lead she trust that he didn’t kill anyone and that she didn’t need to hear his explanation even though girly KNEW he was LYING since she’s literally a lie detector. I get that she understands there’s probably some hidden reasoning but maybe she should hear that reasoning?? Idk she seemed so irrational to me and it annoyed me to no end and it’s the main reason why I stopped watching. Oh and my biggest pet peeve is music dramas that claim that the characters are music geniuses but the music I hear is complete shit.
Edit: I’m an absolute idiot. I watched ep 2 thinking it was the first ep 💀💀💀💀💀💀 I mean the story made sense to me tbh
