Where the lost ones go.
An old tale of sci-fi world!
Based on 2 episodes and what folds next, it is safe to say that the plot is extremely simple. It is like Hollywood style script, that fell behind the hit the mark.
Story:
In a future dystopian world where people or their holograms / shape that requires some pills in their suitcases, are secretly sent back in time through illegal means to carry out missions to stop what causes the destruction. Some are sent back to have a normal life, mostly parents sending their children back. It is obvious that ML and his brother is a huge part of a pandora that sets the events for future. ML will join FL to stop what cause the destruction in future, fighting powerful secret organization, who is most probably seeking funding and technology from ML's company in secret. While fighting truth behind his brother disappearance he will encounter enemies residing in his company, most probably his best friend, who will turn on him, when ML will refuse to do illegal stuff. Outcasted and framed ML, together with FL, brother and restaurant guy form a team to stop all the "bad people". ML brother will eventually die in the end saving his brother.
Acting:
JSW is an amazing actor, there is no doubt. But he is not one for comedy roles. In the first episode he is shown guilt ridden, rich jerk who has a kind heart, but does not acknowledge it. A typical arc for a such characters. But it didn't suit him. May be in Stranger and other series he has played too may serious characters, that his image is imprinted on our minds. I do not understand why there is so much critique when it comes to PSH. She is always a victim of serious public scrutiny, just like Bae Suzy. I have not watcher her, except in Doctors, and she was quite good, plus she is insanely famous. Her acting no joke. I know Chae Jong Hyeop from a award-winning web-drama Rumor, he was a jerk in it, but he did extremely well. He is handsome hunk, and he is doing good, hope this show gives him boast.
Production Values:
Rumored to be most expensive series, it is sad to say it didn't live up-to its expectations. Set designs, vfx, editing, mixing, cinematography is just like an average series. Not like someone with budget they claim more than DOS. Fighting scenes, tech scenes, is not even high tech. Putting robots, big screens, advance computers does not make a series sci-fi. Hello, I mean, has someone seen Arrival, it was decade's best "sci-fi" film, and it did not included high tech.
I am not writing this review in a haste. But I did wanted to write after watching just 2 episodes that is it a very basic plot, with predictable things happening around. There wasn't much left to guess the story after watching first two episodes, I mean, yes, its not like I know the story, but the outline is pretty guessable. Having said this I do not hate the series, I scored it at 7.5. It may change if they really managed to surprised us with some serious and top-notch stuff for rest of the 14 episodes.
