not for me
Plot and progression
I thought the plot was interesting enough to start watching. But I didn't enjoy how it progressed. The story was narrated to viewers for most of the beginning parts, which I didn't enjoy. That took me out of the show a little bit, simply because I think it's better to just show us, instead of talking us through it. I understand the plot intends to touch upon economics and society's corrupt ways, but the dialogues were delivered in such a way that it didn't feel like a normal conversation between people, but a bullet point statement of rights and wrongs that need to be fixed. If I could put it into feelings, I'd say it felt like I was watching a documentary with very well acted parts to showcase different conflicts (and personal grudge) within society.
Pace/flow
I thought the pace was actually alright, for the most part. The narrating bits in the beginning did happen quickly, but afterward, it got to exploring the characters and flowing accordingly toward the goal.
Character(s) dynamic/development
I thought the main character white was kind of wishy-washy. I had a hard time believing he could achieve anything with his mentality. It just feels like he bit more than he can chew and I wasn't really able to connect with his character either. I don't know if he will get better, I assume he does get better, but I won't be sticking around. I understand this kind of story isn't focused on the relationship, and that is very evident, because I didn't really feel any real connection between the main leads. Not that it matters per se, but just thought I'd mention it, since.....I assume they end up together?
Acting
Great acting, nothing really to say about it.
Overall enjoyment
I found myself skipping a lot, because as mentioned, the dialogues felt stiff. I wasn't really enjoying it as much as I thought I'd be. I really enjoy Gun and think he is a great actor, but this story just didn't pull me in.
