Rewatch Value 0/10.
*Spoilers* I guess, though who cares about that garbage?
A Superior Day is beyond horrible, an entire nuclear disaster. Every aspect is just bad. The writing, the cinematography, the characters, the directing, and even the acting although people like Jin Goo and Ha Do Gwon where in it. It's boring, it's stupid, everyone was so incompetent although the story claimed they were threatening it was absurd.
I still have trauma from that raging pile of shitty stupidity whenever I'm reminded of it. And do you know? The main character was once a fireman. It's only repeated 10 times every episode. And the grand conclusion of this to this never ending mantra? The final "fight"(read: nothingburger) where the main character washes away the painting of the "Big Bad"(read: completely incompetent, stupid and untreatening) while he watches because he is already incapacitated (due to his own actions, not due to any of the good guys actions) with a fucking firehose. Wow. Such twist. Much awesome 🙄
Here are the only Good Things about it:
- with 8 episodes it's rather short in comparison to 16 or 20 episodes
- they were able to draw out material for a 2 hour movie into an 8 hour show. That's a skill I guess???
- you don't have to remember names, their only aspect (eg. father, daughter, killer....) is enough to know everything about the characters
- very surprising, because the stupidity of the characters is breath-taking
- good training, for you if you have children that will act in a school play. To finish the show you have to learn to sit through some interesting acting
TL;DR: A Superior Day is straight up garbage and shouldn't exist.
