Yoshiro

this just didn't hit hard at all in my opinion. as many already mentioned, it definitely felt rushed despite that they had multiple years to do this.

none of the characters had depth to them. the fighting scenes looked very scripted and honestly most of them don't even make sense...? for example one of them gets stabbed and the wound bleeds but is able to fight against multiple guys but okay here you can still say "that's the adrenaline" but right after that more guys get there and this wounded person fights them on his own completely til they are all k.o ???

I also can't stand seeing it when someone chokes another person and they only move their arms like ... aim for the damn eyes??? if s/he chokes you from behind you just keep punching with your elbows to their ribs it's genuinely not that hard, especially with all the adrenaline rush in the moment.

and the most ridiculous one was when x and y were fighting, x kept hitting y who couldn't even dodge his punches and yes y ended up severally wounded and bleeding (not from stabs) and almost collapsed but then OUT OF NOWHERE he gained his strength back and put up a real fight against x, who then also ended up severely injured. also after their fight you can see him limping for a few seconds and after opening the door he walked as if nothing happened as if his body isn't in pain at all.

is it seriously just me who picks up on such things? I haven't read a comment noir review pointing this out therefore it lowkey feels like I'm nitpicking this drama but that's not what I'm trying to do I'm just here to express my opinion and honestly I've watched many better action/thriller kdrama/movies before so maybe that's why I pay attention to such things. the movie was better in my opinion, although also not the best, but this just wasn't it for me

p.s I purposefully avoided mentioning any names (like who fights against who) to not spoiler anyone accidentally 😁
