Just say it - you want a technical spy show. For whatever reason, that's what you want.

So maybe this drama is not it for you. It is not a technical spy drama. It is more focused on PEOPLE and their LIVES and EMOTIONS, rather than their spy life.... and most of them are NOT spies anyways...

This drama is not really about spies... most characters are just thugs.... fishing in the murky waters trying to make big money... and some happen to work for the government LOL and then we have the prosecutor aka police trying to catch them... not really a spy plot...

Perhaps you were happier watching Tempest, it had more technical frills / spy plots and LOTS of spies.... .

I am not even sure which other drama is the technical stuff you want to see... Sorry. I am not into what you want to watch so I cannot provide any suggestions

Casablanca includes a love story, several spy stories, etc. The French captain was a spy and resistance helper. Ingrid Bergman's man was the resistance leader. Boogie turned a resistance helper.

THERE ARE SPY STORIES IN MANY FLAVORS :) not only some kind of action thriller.

This is one of my favorite movies, a spy comedy: The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared 2016 Swedish movie ... and then a sequel LOL

kdrama The Spies Who Loved Me is a spy rom com thriller and it is super fun, super sad, super creepy, and yeah has some technical spy stuff, and has a happy ending with more spy stuff :) Naive FL turns into a spy LOL

I love Hong Kong actor/film maker Stephen Chow movies... There is a spy comedy kung fu Asian James Bond political satire and overal satire LOL movie From Beijing with Love .. lol it is ... well.. all his movies are amazing ... a total fun chaos, rough humor, and historically and culturally and technically accurate ... Just watch and see LOL "A Chinese spy who's been out of service for ten years whilst making a living as a butcher is sent to Hong Kong to locate a stolen Tyrannosaurus rex skull." It is really a movie about a nuclear bomb head or something like that ... But you cannot say it aloud in Hong Kong LOL

etc
BE CREATIVE AND LOOSEN UP
ENJOY LIFE
:)

yeah precisely.... male centered plot.... so ... Low Life, Makpoo mud (what was the name... ?), etc are all like that.... wth

I also want more light - so that we can see the actors facial expressions

but we all go through times like these .... we all go through family problems... slumps... problems ... and also new beginnings... so we can relate to all of this drama...

and this drama provides some nice positive twists and is really pro-living and pro-growth and happiness... it is overall positive

Dad is growing fast.... luckily he found that super nice woman.... And FL is growing fast luckily she found that super nice guy - immature but still, good partner material.... So it is educational ..

I wish the drama was filmed more brightly there are too many scenes that are waaay too dark, literally dark lol

It has to go down badly since she is super selfish and immature. She will have to learn to love - Daniel and all - or ... stay alone

He did not have a wife for 7 years.... he was jailed up, cooped up taking care of a psychiatric/immobile ill patient....
so Ms. Tour Guide is not happening too early :) In fact she is about 7 years late :)

well ... where are those women??? we saw one for 2 seconds smoking by that car... we saw another one in a few scenes at the prosecutors...
and who is the third one? ah the airplane seat neighbor, who was on screen for 2 seconds, to hug her son and make a phone call?
or do you mean the 2 seconds of prostitutes on the red lights street?

Women roles are TINY and insignificant

the drama is 99% showing men

LMAO this is so funny!!!! and so true!!!!! i am rolling off my chair now LOL

it is 99% male actors and women have tiny roles

well said

why would they release it all at once? it doesnt make any business sense. You want them to release all 6 episodes and then..... what? NOTHING for the next 6 weeks until the next show??? Or the next show next week....??? that means all shows would be really cheap

By releasing it slowly, they pump up the hype and prolong the cash cow milking out , keeping it pressed to our faces longer

and then they have the time to make and release the next show 6 weeks later

Watch 1942 movie Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman and you will gain appreciation for slow - as it gives you a chance to see ACTING and to really marinate the emotions ... and also... it looks like real life

The current age of fast MINDLESS stuff is ... boring and shallow

Wow Huyn Bin is an amazing actor. He really morphs into his role.

The good guy ML is done by a very good actor too. I am worried the good guy is gonna end up badly.

Was it Mr. Plankton? yes!

Now the serious issues with this. Where is the FL? No women in this drama. They are fast fleeing images. the drama is 99% showing men. It becomes yet another thug drama western style, very dark bad stuff and focusing on showcasing scary depressing "no way out".

I dont know what conclusions you want to make about this drama, as it exposes some real things and evil things, and also ... current things. This drama shows the dependence of governments on drug money and the relationship there, and the impact on the society. And us ordinary ppl create this situation by mindlessly buying and using the drugs.

One consequence of this is that huge amounts of dirty money has to be laundered. Old time mafia had restaurants and olive orchards LOL and now ppl have construction and development companies... and build homeowners associations and steal and buy homes/condos to launder money. The USA has had a severe ongoing epidemic of stealing homes under the pretense of law, in rigged foreclosures, non-judicial or judicial ie. they can steal your home without a judge or with crooked judges and arbitrators

Really this drama illustrates how evil works and exists bc of stupidity of ordinary ppl

I like their relying on mood and dialogue. It makes a smart drama and a psychological thriller.

for example, Famous movie Casablanca is also mood and dialogue. It looks like real life and showcases great acting.
Like here, bad ML and good ML are amazing actors.

Not everything has to look like Rocky 12004 action all the time. In fact, it is BORING bc it is content-free and very shallow - just some images moving fast on the screen. Did you see here small but important details, like HB tipping his fingers on the airplane seat... ?

I have other complaints about this drama. There is like ONE female actor in here.... in a small role... the plot is hopelessly dark... the bad wins... all characteristics of american movies

Assuming that the actor is not supporting Japanese imperialism, fighting on the same side with Nazis in WW2, occupying and torturing Koreans for like 50 years, etc etc... ASSUMING that this actor did not have japanese Nazi-like grandpa and respect for all THAT stuf...

then at best.... this actor is showing a very common selfish egotism - this dude is focusing on HIS GRANDPA so he could care less for the war, Japanese imperialism, what Japanese did in Korea and elsewhere, etc etc etc he is seeing it in the tunnel vision of what is relevant to HIM. It is all about HIS little world

in short, he is an ignoramus. like so many

Dont expect actors nor the entertainment industry to be educated or great thinking ppl... that actor dude is just a Joe Shmoe off the street and HE DOES NOT CARE and cannot see beyond his own little nose
and the ppl raking money from this could care less too.

That is where the audience steps in. Bc if the audience stays silent, ppl like this will walk all over it

Well thank you for saying that, I also concluded that and wrote my comments for one soul that might benefit from reading it. Because I truly believe that this drama is evil, trying to bring back 1950s state of mind for gender roles and also current lewdness from the _ywood cesspool. It is the worst of east and west, combined.
And I wonder if that is intentionally done as it fits some major pushes to make ppl totally brain off-ed.

I studied this group here as a scientist, bc I think this really tells about how people live, what they consume and pay for, who they vote for. This drama is SCARY as it shows trends of total brain dead people. Do you realize that all those ppl who love this drama are voters?

It is better than alcohol or drugs to turn the brain off with a drama, ok, that is the good thing, but the bad thing is 100% brainwashing of supposedly functional members of society. Imo this drama is propaganda for evil

I felt like being here was visiting a cult
this drama and its audience reminds me of a super conservative political rally in the bible belt or currently in the west, as fashist governments take over europe and the usa has tons of ppl who think that immigration can be stopped with a wall etc

This drama is like that, building a wall . I saw utmost stupidity in human race

It is research, buddy. I sometimes study trash dramas, I watched Twelve too. I learned so much from this drama.
Any good drama will make you upset and happy at times, a good actor will annoy you, etc.
But this drama is something else, it is sheer trash, intentionally, promoting some very nasty messages and belief system, brainwashing at its best.
I learned a lot from it :)

and this drama is like a cult place... I learned a lot about human dark side here

This drama is like alcohol or drugs, turn the brain off and fantasize

this got 8.2 rating and so many users, so it is considered a success, so ... there will be more of this sh@#

this here is mostly international audience and it is terrifying to see what they vote 8.2
