The Ignorance We Lived In.
I'm sorry, but, who let Chu Tae Jeong become a cop? Dude was just cruising through the whole time. Like, did he himself even believe he was a cop? He was so naive to the point of stupidity. Also, who drew that eye scar/injury? It kept moving from the side to the center every scene. And what the eff was that meh ending?
Anyway, they tried. It was a interesting concept, it just, as it is with most of these dramas, the execution felt flat. Also, what lie did these two people lived in? Dude already knew he was an imposter like 2 episodes in, and he also knew he was a cop. So at this point, weren't they pretending and just living in ignorance? Well, whatever. Here's my quick review.
Basically, we have a contract killer who loves to paint mountains. But although he looks the part of the killer, dude got caught, and did he take out the threat? Nope, they had sexy times, he trained him so he could better protect himself, then when sh!t hit the fan, he packed his bags for him, gave him all the evidence to incriminate himself and sent him off on his merry way. The whole time I was like... but... aren't you supposed to... you okay with life in prison? huh?
Then we have the cop. Listen, was whatever town Chu Tae Jeong was from short on recruits? Cuz aint no effing way he made it all the way to the final selection. Like, see for yourself:
1. He couldn't tell Seo I Do was an imposter. (Dude's been friends with the real one for years)
2. Didn't find that Amnesia-ish trope suspicious at all. (There was so many things he got wrong, then he came back and did some checking, found proof and did... nothing. Call backup? Nope, not him.)
3. Found his kidnap friend tied to a creepy basement with weapons, and dude didn't question why there was such a place. Then of course, he proceeded to not turn it in, cuz the friend said they shouldn't. Then helped said friend tied up his summer fling. Like??? What even are we doing at this point?
4. Found out his new crush is a killer, and dude proceeded to have sexy times with him, cuz you know, love and whatnot.
5. That whole thing with the friend and almost getting burnt alive for it.
6. Dude was there to clear his father, an ex-cop's name, and the whole time he did not do one bit of investigating on the matter. He remembered like one old scene, saw a notebook. Looked sad for the camera one time, and that was it, but somehow, he still ended up with the evidence he wanted. Dude didn't even try... must have been how he became a cop too... convenience.
6. Also, him coming back to the house after Seo I Do sent him off without any back-up. Like???
7. And how the eff did they wrap up that ending??? There were dead bodies everywhere, and all we got were some vague answers, and then he quit but apparently could have been promoted. Promoted for what? What he do? He didn't report anything for days, and he's a man of the badge, who kept all of that to himself, so he could get it on with a killer. I was shock they didn't jail his naive arse.
That basement friend sucked. That dude who took Seo I Do in and trained him, lmao, was he in love with him? Oh well, now he's dead and probably they pinned all the murders on him. That would teach him for falling for killers who paint.
Plot-wise, they tried. I did find the beginning so very interesting, the leads had good chemistry, but after Chu Tae Jeong kept making all those dude decisions and being naive... I gave up on him. This dude, instead of being a cop based on decisions was one based on emotion. Frankly, I'm surprised he made it to the beach in the finale. As for Seo I Do, he turned into a poppy real quick. Big bad killer curved the moment that cop entered the house, and even lost an eye to protect him.
And how the eff didn't the police find Seo I Do? How did Chu Tae Jeong found him? Dude had no police skills whatsoever, so how did he manage to find him and the cops didn't? Though, were the cops even looking for him? Cuz that ending was so messy and rushed, it was a complete letdown, I got nothing out of it, other than Chu Tae Jeong did the police department and his country a favour by quitting, cuz with him on the force, who even knows how many people would have lost their lives? That poor father of his must be turning in his grave, watching his son act the fool in the place he was murdered.
Anywho, all in all, interesting, a nice watch, something a bit different in regards to plot, give it a chance if you like bls. I'll recommend.
