Familiar Scent Of Old Kdramas

But as every flower,some smells better and stronger than others.

3 Days follows the classic recipe of older dramas in almost every aspect.
Like all of them follow the same manual step by step when it comes to direction,camera work or cinematography.
Average for my taste but it doesn't really bother me.I drew a line.Dramas before 2015 and those after.So ive decided not to judge too harsh those prior 2015.Regarding the technicalities.

The Ost is the perfect match.OSTs in most of the Kdramas are super catchy,super pleasant,super fitted.

The cast is full of well known actors.This always makes me feel safe,because i know i will not experience awkward or bad acting.There are few Cameos too,i enjoyed.Of course there is an exception to every rule.Here everyone did a good job.Although i haven't watched anything with the main lead (except for one movie)he was good for his role.

Story& Plot:

A fragment of (hi)story everything was built around it.An incident from the past which drives the plot to the present.
And although is predictable as hell,especially if you have watched many dramas or movies of the genre,it offers a full time entertainment (for the action part) and the sufficient dose of frustration (for the political part)
Not bad at all,i may say.There are the necessary clichés too,i can't live without them!It is also really fast paced,so add this to the plusses.

What was really refreshing and something you don't easily find in almost every Kdrama,was the fact that Agencies,Police,Prosecution etc,weren't lame,useless and incompetent,as usual.This really surprised me!

Same goes to our ML.He is a badass with brains.Smart,efficient,capable and a quick thinker.He never stressed me with bad decisions or reckless moves!I also loved his awkward flirting techniques!The Romance is very subtle,but i enjoyed the brief,funny and sweet moments between the main "couple"

As for the main villain he has a name and a face from the very start,so no surprises there.
He is super rich(and greedy too)He has all the resources to plot,scheme and have everything he wants done just by snapping his fingers.
What i didn't like is that they tried really hard to present him as a psycho.Yes he is a very decent villain,but they pushed his personality too far to be believable enough.

I was in a relax mode almost all the time.I usually choose BLs for that purpose,but 3 Days did an excellent job as well.
Don't have many expectations.Is a mix of Political & Action drama.Is not bad,not the best either..Not too deep.Without complex characters.A light watch.
Add it to your watch list and keep it as a back up for the rainy days.
You won't miss anything if you skip it.It is not a Must-Watch.
Its a very decent drama and totally up to you whether you give it a chance or not.

If you ask me,i didn't regret watching it.
