Agent Kim Reactivated

Great for parents and kids - Proof that strong silent types only cause damages

I like ep 1 as a start. I do not see this as a fighting drama, so if it goes that way, I will be disappointed. I see this as the generic issue of bad parenting. If the drama resolves that, i will consider it a masterpiece. Sure add some fighting as a side dish, but the main issue is PROPER PARENTING. Also it will be really fun to see Ji Sub act more than just John Wayne, Ji Sub is a cutie so it will be fun to see him as a proper father. In ep 1, he is a John Wayne strong and silent dinosaur and a parental failure.

This drama is essentially a story of bad parenting, the doting parent who NEVER talks with their kid and never takes the time to actually RAISE the kid. Kids need more than just food on the table...
There are many teenage kids in this drama, and they are all total clueless morons who lack any common sense and keep causing problem, unfortunately the entire drama is a product of bad parenting
NONE OF THESE KIDS HAVE ANY SKILLZ FOR LIFE = THE PARENTS ARE 100% INCOMPETENT

In Ep 1, this awesome special agent totally fails as a parent and as an agent, completely disregards his daughter and leaves her hanging all alone as usual, completely disregards common knowledge of bullying in schools, and perhaps he has already caused death of his child.

So forget special agent life and skills... when this special agent is a clueless moron for LIFE and incapable of talking to his own child.

SO THIS DRAMA SO FAR HAS A GREAT ROOT CONFLICT TO SOLVE, THE SAME CONFLICT THAT ALL PARENTS FACE AND ESP PARENTS WHO FAILED TO ESTABLISH A HEALTHY CONNECTION TO THEIR KID AND NEVER COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR CHILD DEEPLY AND PROPERLY

So the drama starts with a great generic and widespread issue of bad parenting and kids who grew up on their own and are thus clueless and behaving against the laws of survival and common sense

So... and at this point the drama can EITHER sink or swim

Imo the drama would sink if it becomes an empty shell and be "Weak Hero" quality with fights and special agents

Imo this kdrama can become a truly great drama where parent and child finally establish themselves as a loving caring family and a dedicated team that communicates well and works well in tandem with love care compassion and mutual understanding


AGENT KIM MUST RAISE HIS DAUGHTER PROPERLY

his daughter is behaving in ways contrary to the laws of surivival
The daughter is so clueless incapable of living
and that is all fault of her father. AGENT KIM HAS TO LEARN TO BE A PROPER PARENT WHO TALKS TO HIS KID AND PAYS CLOSE ATTENTION WHAT THE KID IS DOING OR NOT DOING.

IE AGENT KIM HAS TO GUIDE HIS DAUGHTER

10/10 The PT Universe comes to life! So Ji-sub IS CQC personified!

As an absolute fanatic of the original Manager Kim webtoon and the entire PJ Universe, I was terrified of how they would adapt this into live-action. But after seeing the premiere, all my fears are completely gone.
First off, the casting is perfection. So Ji-sub completely embodies the weary, slouching "salaryman" look, but when his Close Quarters Combat (CQC) instincts kick in, he turns into an absolute demon. The fight scenes are insanely faithful to the panel art-they actually captured the technical, brutal weight of his moves without masking it behind messy editing.
Seeing Seong Han-su (Choi Dae-hoon) and Park Jin-cheol (Yoon Kyung-ho) on screen together with Kim gave me literal chills. The legendary trio of badass dads is finally here, and their dynamic is just as chaotic and epic as it is in the manhwa. If you've been waiting for a faithful, high-budget webtoon adaptation that doesn't tone down the violence or the hype, this is the holy grail. Long live the PTJ Universe!
