When Robocop invites Terminator to have a bath in Wanted facilities!

This one is an easy and light to watch Drama.No need hard thinking. Is full of action and more action.

The story is simple, far from been unique or original.Nothing deep here.Plain story and even more plain characters.Take it as a big in length action movie and you will have fun.Take it seriously and expect character development,meaningful messages,high morals,life changing experience,and you will curse yourself for wasting your 16 hours!

I gave story a 7 because ive watched similar scripts dozens of times.It is full of clichés,it has few tiny fine moments and some sparks, but unfortunately didn't turn into fire. Yet to execute such plain(occasionally lame) and common script with such "mastery" needs talent.And i appreciated this.Simply because it didn't fail to entertain me.

By the way,whats with the carved wooden chairs all the Big Gang Bosses chooses to sit and show off their superiority? Is it a fetish or what?Lol.Obviously stolen from Cruel City!(One of the best Dramas of all times to me)It was a detail my eye caught ..Anyways.


The main idea actually take us back to 80's and 90's.
Iam not into AI and obviously i don't have knowledge on the subject,so pretty much i buy everything they serve me.Lol.I guess that is the reason i liked this series more than others.
Half Humans, Half Androids or partial anyways,working for a secret government organization (Rugal)to take down another dirty Organization,Argos.
Simple as that!As i said nothing new,Nothing we already haven't seen.

Fighting scenes are soooo cool!Probably THE BEST part of the Drama. Choreography in kick ass scenes is absolutely amazing. Choi Jin Hyuk is so hot wearing those black leather outfits!And Park Sung Woong is so delicious playing the bad guy.And i think this is the first Drama i saw him as an evil character.Ofc i love both actors but here i can't really say they had the opportunity to unfold their talent in maximum, as their roles are not too demanding.Park is as always amazing,even when he has to portray a not so deep character.He was scary and i loved the craziness in his eyes.

Tbh, i didn't like the westernization here.I love Asian Dramas because they follow their own and beautiful Eastern culture.The way they approach things has more dark and twisted side which is one of the main reasons i stuck on Asian projects and rarely and very selectively watch Western anymore.Ofc here is the genre which limited Rugal to be more "Hollywood liked" and less Asian.

As a final thought Rugal is a very decent action drama,you will have fun and enjoy it especially if you are a fan of the genre.
I recommend it if you want to take a break from heavy plots and want to give your brain a good rest!.It is entertaining!
