A step in the right direction
It was a change from the regular format and this I wholeheartedly endorsed. A stretch but the right step. Being inundated with either mundane scripts full of fluff or the mini series that sit in 2 rooms, (bar and bedroom. You all know what I'm talking about. If I see one more bar with all the post it notes and background chatter, I'll have to give kbl a rest).
It proceeded well until ep 5. The cat and mouse game was on. Then for some inexplicable reason Tae Jeong proved to be the most clueless police officer with no survival instincts whatsoever. He did the service a favor by resigning. Tae Jeong expecting Seo I Do to go to the police station and help him clear the whole mess up was priceless stupidity in action. The gut punch was warranted.
It's fine that the story tied itself up by killing everyone but the love birds. When said cockroaches, it felt like that. One after the other the cockroaches came out to die.
The love between the two was not credible but hey, love at first sight happens or Tae Jeong cluelessness blinded his judgement. It just wasn't felt. The ending totally expected.
Why did I like it, again what we have been getting had become the norm and it was different. There were moments of suspense. Now, add more money and polish to the script and we might have something bigger. Oh, before I forget, the acting was bordering on okay to midling. Nothing spectacular but it did the job. Lastly, what worked in its favor - 20 min ep.
