I don't care: review about a show where nothing really happens

If I could interview the writer, surely things would develop like this:

Me: So what were your initial ideas for the show?
Writer: (gives me a summary of the script) Basically, I want the story to start at this point and go to this point.

M: And how do you plan to do that?
W: Repeating the same events in every episode.

M: Every episode?
W: Every episode.

M: ...
W: I left you speechless with this genius idea of ​​mine, didn't I? It's just that if I always replay the events and put on some dramatic music in the background, I'll always leave the viewers on the edge. And since events will always repeat themselves, people will always be on the edge and they will always be excited about my show.

M: ok... and what kinds of events do you plan on repeating?
W: Well, it's quite simple. Look:
- Yong Ro cries. Repeat.
- Tie Kang Moo. He escapes. Beat him and tie him somewhere else. Repeat.
- Someone proposes a deal to Soo Ho. He is betrayed. Repeat.
- Boon Ok misbehaves and there are no consequences for that. Repeat.
- Han Na screams and has irrational attitudes. Repeat.
- Almost shoot a hostage, but never materialize it. Repeat.
- Threaten to blow up the dorm. Don't explode it. Repeat.
- Finally blowing up the dorm. The explosion is minimal, insignificant. Repeat once.
- Man Dong's son threatens Boon Ok. Repeat.
- Hit Man Dong's son. Repeat.
- Create tension because of Nam Tae's new super Machiavellian plan. The next minute, the plan is undone. Repeat.
- Create tension because of Eun Chang's new super Machiavellian plan. The next minute, the plan is undone. Repeat.
- Create tension over Chef An's new super Machiavellian plan. The next minute, the plan is undone. Repeat.
- Discussions between An, Eun and Nam every 10 minutes. Repeat.
- Conversations between wives.
Etc.

M: ... Is it true that actor Hae In was asked to get strong so he could carry the entire show on his back?
W: wha...

M: Sorry. Next question. I see you have 4 powerful man: An, Eun, Nam and Kang? Who would you say you got inspiration from to create these characters? Michael Scott or Pink (from Pink and the Brain)?
W: (leaves the conversation)

M: Wait! I haven't even asked about the plot holes yet!
