God's Quiz Season 4 (2014)

“Not impressed” would be the right expression to describe my overall feelings about this season. It wasn’t a total let-down but God’s Quiz 4 failed to deliver that last blowing punch like its prequels.

I am really a good fan of the God’s Quiz series; it’s one of rarest medical dramas that I can handle with full joy. It also focuses on forensic medicine which is my real life field of study. Although they can dramatize it but centring the investigation procedural on finding criminals and the blowing mystery for each season were definitely my favourite parts of the whole series.

At some point, I began to wonder if it’s the same writer who delivered the previous thrilling mysteries. Did he lost his touch or something? Maybe stretching the story to four seasons’ length can actually affect his writing style and ideas. For starters, the rare diseases weren’t exactly that complicated but I can be lenient with that side because I am medicine major so I could’ve figured most of them in one glimpse and they didn’t write this for people who know about the field. However, what I could not forgive was the main plot; it was plain boring and predictable that you can’t call it a mystery any longer. It’s unlike the previous seasons where the two (or three) last episodes were too exciting and suspenseful. God’s Quiz 4 was unsuccessful in building the thriller suspenseful part.

The individual cases were pretty much acceptable, many of them managed to reach the satisfying level and even went further above it. I believe that what gives this season a good slack but it’s a fact that some of them weren’t even that interesting. Something else bothered me on a personal level: Romance. I know that many people like to insert that part everywhere but I always thought that OCN crime thrillers don’t need that, because most of the people who come to watch are here for the thrills not for the lovey-dovey part. That’s one of the reason why the 3 rd season is my favourite.

The acting was fine; Ryu Deok Hwan and Yoon Joo Hee were good as usual. Even their characters witnessed some pretty good developments such as Dr. Han’s background and Detective Kang’s feminine side. I can’t say the same about the two idol additions; I really don’t see why they were casted for this type of drama. Idol acting don’t suit this sort of drama at all even if their characters were well-written. That super Junior dude was so awkward throughout the whole drama and the girl next to him wasn’t any better.

The cinematography played a very good part in this drama even of it wasn’t different from the previous seasons. I can’t exactly remember the music note so you can guess the rest.

Watch if:
-You liked the previous season but don’t expect a lot from this.
-You like Medical/Forensic/Mystery dramas.

Do not watch if:
-Just don’t watch this unless you saw all the previous seasons.

God’s Quiz Season 4 wasn’t exactly that captivating but it wasn’t a total bore either. Now, I would like OCN to make an end for this series; stretching it more than this will be over-doing in a very bad way. It was a good run; I hope this will be my last goodbye with the God’s Quiz series.

It was a very nice ride to see all god quiz seasons and then after seeing season 4 i can honnestly say i like this one the best of all of them.

Story: It continues after season 3 which i liked and it went on with all the crazy investigations.It was also nice to see the romance evolve more between Dr han and Kang Kyeong Hee which brought a bit more
life in the series.The thing that i dont like is that every season there are new actors inside and the genius computer hacker wasnt there anymore and he was in all previous 3 seasons.Then again in season 3 there wasnt Kang Kyeong Hee which was a dissapointment for that season since she is my favorite actor in the series.However it all connected to each other all seasons and this one is ended again with a open possibility for more god quiz which i like :).

I liked this season most because it was the most easy going of all of them.Not to much pressure on Dr han and his problems and his brain and i think the investigations where a bit eassier to understand.

Conclusion: A very nice show that can continue till season 10 all i care of:).The investigations are fun to watch and interesting.I would suggest this show to everyone that likes crime/investigations and you wont regret watching it :).
