SOMETHING NEW
SCAMS is a fresh take on the scamming dimensions,portraying how one enters into this field, what happens usually and what the culmination is at the end.
The drama's first half is aesthetic to watch, crisp and to the point.
Each episode features 20 mins of fine art.
The problem starts in the 2nd half, the plot gets too slow, characters and plot development die, they are mismatched by passing onto the side characters, and in the end, what we're left with is a pigsty with 1 too many episodes left.
The end is ironic but confusing and definitely forced.
It reminds me of the movie Parasite which goes through the same pattern in a way,
how everything that could go wrong will always do.
Overall, Scams is worth watching.
It had the best cinematography as far as J dramas are concerned.
PS: Special mentions to the acting cast, everybody did a phenomenal job, especially our MC and his boss.

Scams are bad lol
Scams is a show I have added to my list months ago on Netflix and I just randomly started watching it. All I have to say I really enjoyed it. The story is really cliche. The protagonist Makoto wants to make money becasue he needs it for his father's operation who is suffering from cancer. But with time he gets addicted to Scams. One thing I like is the scams are not a blast. They are rather small scale. It was something pretty new. The peeformances were great though I didn't really care for any of them except Makoto. The ending was not explained properly. Overall its a good show for trying something new but it could have been much better. You can finish this in one go as the show has only 9 episodes of 22 - 24 mins eachWas this review helpful to you?
