Why don't they just shoot?

The first episode was full action and that was nice, but there were so many "WTF?!?!? moments" and not the good kind that surprise you and leave you in awe.

Like why are they emptying rounds on each other without a care for the innocent bystanders and then when they have very, very open and clear shots, they don't shoot.

Also, if she's kicking the crap out of the baddie, why the heck does she stop the hand on hand combat to grab her gun, reload it, while the guy runs away from her?

Why is she standing just shooting still while the other bad guy, who by the way in the opening scene I thought looked cool (I have a thing for baddies, dressed in black and who know the walk...sue me...lol), is backing a truck at high speed directly where she is? I wouldn't be amazed if the truck was bulletproof. and does she think she's wonder woman?

Why would she tell a boy, who she just got back and important key witness to top it all off, to go ahead and wait for her downstairs? Why? Does she even have a brain? lol

But I'm suspending my disbelief and trying to enjoy the show...I really am..lol

Well ...

A little warning: I often pay attention to things no one else might care about so don't be surprised!

If you're looking for good action drama, you have found one!
Even though one of the genres is called fantasy I would rather call it a mix between Fantasy and Science fiction. It's really thrilling but maybe that's just because it was the first episode, so I'll have to wait and watch the following episodes to see if the rest can stick with the first episode.

Now, about the episode (contains SPOILER):
I didn't really expect anything when I started watching this episode but it managed to make me feel a little bit disappointed.
First, I'm a huge fan of the fantasy genre so, even though I didn't expect anything, I was looking forward to it. Even though the "Person receives superhuman powers and starts to fight the bad boys"-Plot isn't something new, the way it all started was interesting. Heug Cheol's father wanted to save his life and being superhuman was just a side effect - at least that's what we know after watching the first episode.
Even though I liked the "Turning into a superhuman"-Part and how the story developed, I didn't like some of the fighting scenes.
1. I've seen this several times already but why do so many people tend to fight with their fists while holding a gun?
I do get that they are using the moment of surprise to disarm the enemy but why do they continue using their fists instead of the weapon?
2. There was this one scene: Yi On was chasing the bad guy (sorry, I can't remember names that well) who hid on one of those big containers you see on ships. While he was observing Yi On walking slowly and looking for him, instead of just killing her he jumped from the container and disarmed her.
I understand, that Yi On is one of the main characters so she can't die in the first episode but that doesn't make sense at all. If I were the bad guy I would just shoot her instead of exposing myself to her and risking to get killed or captured.

But there was also something that surprised me: The usage of censoring!
When Heug Cheol was figthing the bad guy his arm was broken in a way where the bone was shown, so they had to censor the bone part.
This was the first time I've seen that in an asian drama! It really surprised me - in a good way. Since one of his powers is the ability to heal himself this was a good opportunity to show everyone how powerful this really is.

Now, I'm wondering what will happen next ...
