...

No one will give you the tune of despair like Jang Hyuk does. If you're expecting a father-daughter focused drama then don't even bother because that was less than 5% of the drama. Even the sport theme felt secondary. There need to be a supernatural tag/genre instead of adventure. It's about an evil pharmaceutical company making a drug that gives superpowers. Not even Jang Hyuk heavy lifting the entire drama on his back could've saved it. I wish this was only family/boxing themed, it would've been great.

Watch this

Great show, Jang Hyuk delivers again. I loved his performance and I was so invested in the struggles and triumphs of his incredibly compelling character. His power and range as a performer is just mesmerizing. This works really well as an intense sports story, a beautiful and heart wrenching family drama, and a gruesome medical thriller. Really liked the characterizations of the second ML and the villains. Once I started watching this I couldn't stop. The only thing that didn't fully work for me was the characterization of the wife in the second half of the drama. She became placid and bland and faded into the background too much as the story progressed. I would have also enjoyed more scenes between husband and wife fleshing out their dynamic more.

Evils of the pharmaceutical industry

I will admit that I had a difficult time finishing this drama because there were so many evil people in it but Jang Hyuk is the reason I tuned in. If I had known that Ji Cheul would die I am not sure I would’ve finished it. Yet, I’m glad I watched the whole series because I ended up liking the whole cast, even the bad people.

The series made me wonder about scientists thinking that their test subjects’ lives mean less than their work and that it’s for the greater good and not fame.

Hhsjja

this drama deserves more attention . the plot is soo convincing and there are happy moments and sad really tears rolled in my eyes . every actor got a deserving personality. there is good character development in all characters by the end of the series.
coming to actors they did their best
I am a massive fan of wen peng she really did good and she pulled off her role very beautifully
and the starting song is very refreshing and also ending song tells the whole story
in the middle of the series, you may feel oerad just stick to the story
this is full of emotions and also joy with beautiful memories
I wish I can get a roommate like he yu though she looks aggressive, she is very kind-hearted
and junior he yu is looked carefree girl but not she understands everything her cute proposal just melted my heart
and also male lead he got a refreshing face I really like his character

Bad papa é um belo exemplo de drama que leva vários episódios para conseguir te prender. Demorei muito tempo para conseguir terminar justamente por isso.

Me senti obrigada a pausar e ver outras coisas várias vezes até reencontrar a vontade de retomar de onde tinha parado. Depois desse longo tempo de idas e vindas finalmente consegui me interessar mais pelo drama por volta do episodio 15.

As atuações estavam ótimas e foi justamente elas que me levaram a sentir que deveria continuar tentando.

Enfim, quando consegui me apegar aos personagens vieram as enrolações básicas para render episódios. É uma pena que os kdramas gostem tanto de fazer isso.


Sobre a historia em si vale destacar que não é ruim. O que mais me incomodava aqui era o próprio comportamento do protagonista. Era evidente que ele se importava muito com sua família, mas ele tinha a péssima mania de esconder tudo delas.

Depois de ver isso tantas vezes nos doramas começo a pensar que talvez isso seja cultural talvez os asiaticos realmente tenham uma visão romantizada de família que nunca consegui entender muito menos gostar.

Ele as amava muito, mas parecia que sempre enxergava uma parede invisível que lhe impedia de se aproximar delas. No final acaba se sacrificando em prol da vida da filha, mas não deixo de sentir um gosto amargo pelo tempo que desperdiçaram com coisas banais. Uma pena que não conseguiram compartilhar mais momentos juntos.

Tenho que dizer que fiquei decepcionada com o desfecho que deram para os monstros que estavam por trás do experimento clinico que visava desenvolver uma droga "em prol do bem comum".

Francamente que investigação péssima a policia demonstrou nesse drama. É lamentável como demoraram a fazer seu trabalho. Tudo isso a troco de que? A situação já tinha piorado muito quando finalmente resolveram agir.
