Rare gold, not pure and perfect but brilliant
I recommend this drama to those who are tired of serial killer and revenge thrillers like me. I'm pretty selective about the shows I watch, and I rarely finish any these days, but I was hooked on this one all the way through, except for the last episode or two. The ending does feel like a letdown, but that's common in most movies and TV shows anyway. In summary, I would compare this drama to the Fargo series in terms of storyline, mood, and graphic violence. I'm fine with the fact that the main character isn't a super smart, kick-ass heroine. She's just an average nobody, much like Woogy. But Woogy is endearing, while the main character's journey makes her more unlikable as it progresses. Typically in this case, a tragic ending or just consequence helps redeem the protagonist's mistakes and crime. The theme music has a dark and sad vibe, and the opening graphic with the glowing gold tower feels like a dream, hinting that all this running and chasing might be for nothing. So, the unexpectedly happy ending feels a bit off and seems like a cheap way to set up another season. Even with some flaws and holes, this drama is a gold flake in sand.Was this review helpful to you?
Despite flaws, it is still exciting and addictive
Okay, S3 has several glaring moles and holes, but it's worth watching it if you are a fan. No matter how good the story or ending is, if a show or movie fails to entertain me, I call it boring and won't waste my time on it. S3 kept me intrigued, surprised, and eager to binge-watch throughout the entire episodes. The 6 hours flew by like only 3 hours. I like that the plot takes an unexpected turn every chance it gets, away from our prediction. My biggest gripe is the downgraded quality of the entire VIP part. It was criticized so much from S1, and it could have been improved fairly easily by hiring a native English translator and real actors. Everything about it is embarrassingly bad and not up to global standards.Was this review helpful to you?
It didn't make me laugh once, only made me cringe
I really enjoy silly comedy like Welcome to Waikiki and Gaus Electronics, but for some strange reason I couldn't pinpoint, this show wasn't funny at all. I'd thought maybe because of repeated gags, such as being locked up in a closet and bathroom mishaps, etc. After dropping it, I moved on to Modern Farmer, which is even older and also has crude humor involving poop and pee. I was able to enjoy it. What's the difference? I think the actors in this show did not perform comedy well. In the other shows I liked, all actors feel like natural comedians.Was this review helpful to you?
