38 Task Force (2016)

It took me months (probably 5mos) to finally finish this. And I'm glad I did.
I'm a fan of Seo Inguk so I made sure to watch all of his dramas, and he never disappoints.

The story starts a little bit boring to me. But before the first episode ends, it got me hooked. The writer is genius. I enjoyed the twist and turns, and how they work things out as a Con-group. The thing is, I only know Inguk, Sooyoung, and Sunbin. The other cast is more like supporting role on the dramas that we've watched before.

Until the final episode, they keep on giving me goosebump.
When I thought that was it, I'm wrong again.

Kudos to the writer for the epic ending scene, although I didn't get it that much coz I haven't see the said drama yet.

First of all it was really nice
Like a roller coaster you will never guess the events
Even if you tried so hard

You won't know what was real and what was the plan

What bothered me a lot 2 points
1- The light romance was extremely lame
There were no need at all for it and literally no place
They could just made the FL just helping her boss

Till the end I saw th FL was too cold and didn't appreciate any circumstances
She didn't forgive the ML while it was all out of his hand

If they made it without any romance it would be much better

Ma dong acting wasn't good for me
His face expression was paused
You can't guess what's his real feelings according to the situation

The relation between the team was a little cold also it missed warmness really

2- What I didn't get at all and annoyed me as hell
The last scene
Why ma dong entered jail under the name of park wong cheol
(( If any one could explain this point for me I'll appreciate it a lot ))

And did the team still as they are, fighting corruption??
I guess yes because of the university's incident but I'm not sure

P.S: prosecutor park at the last episode didn't help them at the end for the sake of their eyes or even for justice
He just felt the the ship was sinking and he should jump quickly from it
Like rats did

But in general it was a very good action drama
I liked

Such perfect game , incredible turn of events !

Wonderful🤌🏾 I liked watching the SIG's hero , how he was cunning and deceiving people, his resourcefulness and subtle mind that helped him achieve his goal! It seemed that his hero was not endowed with good qualities at the beginning, but how the opinion about him changes when, after a couple of episodes, u find out the true reason why he behaved this way.
I note Oh Dae Hwan, the actor played great! He is so cool outside of filming😃(i tho he too serious as in movie ) although his character annoyed me because he believed that the laws are powerless against the rich, but his character is very interesting.
Jo Woo Jin, so funny! His tone, I can't🤣 , in my opinion he's kind of a comedian! Even if he is serious, then irony slips in his tone, and it seems that he is holding back so as not to laugh, his voice is funny🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿‍♂️ he played cool, especially in the last episodes.
Great game by Inguk and Ma Dong Sok! I enjoyed the game! And how great they got along and looked together! I would like to see them duet in many dramas.
The series is great! It will be useful for those who like to "study people", the qualities of character and understand more in the psychology of not only communication but also doing business, because how we communicate depends on what kind of relationship and how we build
All the actors did a good job!
Also are special 17 episode when actors giving their opinions about their characters and some funny moments , advice u watch guys , that's really funny and better watch with subtitles))

Review panjangku

Drama 7 tahun lalu dan baru aku tonton sekarang. Kata orang2 lumayan bagus dan aku setuju sama mereka. Menurutku dramanya lumayan seru, walau ada beberapa part yang bosenin dan masih jadi tanda tanya.

Oke kita bahas kenapa bagus dulu ya
1. Ceritanya lumayan menarik. Dari beberapa drama yg aku tonton tentang con-artist, drama ini tuh cukup unik karena alasan mereka menipu tuh biar uangnya bisa dipake buat bayar pajak. Ya meskipun Leverage (drama ttg con-artist juga) ceritanya mirip2 gini, tapu tetep 38 Task Force unik karena berhubungan sama pajak.
2. Acting para pemainnya bagus banget, apalagi Seo Inguk keren banget bisa bener2 kelihatan kayak con-artist wkwk
3. Plot twist di akhir episode bikin panik wkwk aku awalnya mikir "lha ini kan udah ep16, kok malah muncul masalah2 baru lagi" ehhh ternyata sengaja buat nipu penonton


Tapi di pertengahan sekitar ep 8-12 apa yaa aku agak bosen jadi kadang aku cepetin nontonnya dan ada beberapa yang aku skip apalagi kalo para antagonis lagi pada ngumpul.
Terus ada beberapa hal yang menurutku aneh / masih jadi tanda tanya (mungkin karena suka aku skip jd ada beberapa info yang aku gatau)
1. sebenernya agak aneh sama target penipuannya, ma jinseok yg ternyata anak buahnya bang pilgyu, bang pilgyu yang ternyata anak buahnya choi chulwoo. walaupun awalnya mereka nargetin ma jinseok karena hutang pajaknya dia tertinggi di tim 3, tapi kenapa ga dibikin dari awal mereka ngejar choi chulwoo aja tp buat nyampe ke choi chulwoo mereka harus nipu ma jinseok & bang pilgyu dulu. soalnya kalo kayak di drama tuh jd berasa muncul karakter baru mulu yg ternyata posisinya lebih tinggi dan hutang pajaknya lebih banyak.
2. di awal kan diceritain kalo kang noseung juga kena penipuan, padahal jeongdo nargetin orang2 yang berhubungan sama ma jinseok, bang pilgyu sama choi chulwoo. karena menurutku dia tuh lebih ke netral (?), dia keluar dari timnya minsik (6 tahun lalu) karena takut aja ga sih bukan karena disuap. beda sama baek seongil tim 1 sama ahn taewook. Nqh tapi kenapa dia ikut jadi target?
3. kemana perginya detektif park deokbae?? karakternya tiba2 ngilang ga jelas, ga dikasih tau dia masih di penjara atau dipecat dari kepolisian. Padahal di awal karakternya cukup berperan penting lho
4. Hukuman jeongdo ga masuk akal. Oke dia ngelakuin penipuan dan dia juga ada riwayat masuk penjara, tapi hukuman 10 tahun tuh aneh banget sih, kecuali emang choi chulwoo yang minta dia dihukum selama itu. Tapi harusnya dikasih lihat sih kalo emang itu permintaan choi chulwoo.
5. Karakter choi chulwoo kurang mateng. Dikasih tau kan kalo choi chulwoo tuh ga punya anak atau keluarga? Dengan bisnis gede banget kayak gitu dan dia udah tua, apa ga takut kalo tiba2 bisnisnya jatuh ke tangan yg salah kalo dia tiba2 gaada? Trus buat apa dia mengembangkan bisnisnya sampe sekaya itu kalo bukan buat diwariskan? Kalo dia dah gaada trus bisnisnya buat siapa dong?
6. Karakter sunghee juga membingungkan. Dia tuh karakter yang kalo gaada juga kayaknya ga masalah, padahal dia termasuk main character.... Walaupun mungkin beberapa kali karakternya berguna, tapi ku kira menjelang akhir dia bakal ikutan menipu lhoo. Eh ternyata sampe akhir dia cuma begitu doang.
7. Park Deokbae kan di awal2 cerita kalo baek seongil dulu gangster sekolah (?) bahkan di awal waktu dia nyari penipu mobil kan dia nggunain kekerasan dikit, tp kenapa sampe akhir drama kemampuannya ga dipake lagi???? Padahal aku udah berharap dia bakal pake tinjunya dikit, ehhh malah yang keluar karakter dia yg lain di bad guys (episode terakhir pas di penjara)

Yahhh overall tetep worth kok dramanya buat ditonton~
