interesting idea, bad realisation
What I liked:
-an interesting idea and I really enjoyed seeing Park Bo -young in a different role away from the friendly, cuty, clean good girl image. I think she pulled the role surprisingly good and the strain of the story was quite etched in her features along the way.
-I did like her character and I understood perfectly well where she is coming from given her background.
-nice suspense building so it at least got me watching until the end
What I disliked
-HUGE plotholes from the very beginning. First mega stumble in the first episodes 17 minutes in. If there was a coffin with 100 pieces of 10kg gold bars they would weigh? Exactly, a 1000kg. The 5 lanky/older airport workers couldn't lift shit of this, as each of them would have to carry about 200kg plus the weight of the steel coffin. Also the mob guys wouldn't move this coffin one inch forward into the car in the next scene. Stuff like that REALLY annoys me because it kind of taints the whole plot altogether.
And that mistake has follow ups- the van the coffin is loaded in? When the boyfirend pulls the gun on the driver and tells him to take a sharp turn to the right? Id the driver did that with that much weight in the back The car would have gonem straight into the wall because the ton weight in the back would have accelerated with the speed of the car and the sudden motion. When the FL later is driving to get away from the mob guys? If you load such van, even am SUV with more that 1000kg of dense dead weight? the rear would probably scratch the bottom, the brakes wouldn't work, and she couldn't maneuvre the car in a hectic flight chase at all.
And other such mistakes followed through the show. ( the abuse 'uncle' getting his head bashed in witha golf club, bleeding liters of blood on the floor, any yet, he is well and alive in the hospital the next day with a small bandage around his head and so on...)
So, yes, nice to watch for a bit of suspense IF you are not a logic freak like me who can't overlook such major mistakes.
If you are interested in the main idea of people being intrigued by suddenly getting their hands on huge sums of illegal money? Go watch 'walking on thin ice' Much better delivery of the idea with a more realistic approach of the actual goods and how to make them into money. With the same basic plot idea, I enjoyed that show much more.
