I had very high expectations for this drama, because of the many great reviews and comments, but for me... it was boring. The acting didn't grab me either. It did show life quite well though, because it can be dull and difficult for sure. I liked the message of the drama, the relationship between the three brothers and the ending, but I had a hard time completing it. Overall - 5,5/10 for me.
I just completed the drama and I must say... it wasn't as good as I was hoping. Not that it was bad, but I guess I was expecting something slightly different, because I read it revolves around serial murders and that wasn't really the case, political affairs are not really my thing, but Koreans do love watching such things, so I get the super high ratings the drama got while it was airing. The acting was really, really good! The story itself... it was nice too, some of the plot twists were predictable, but what really surprised me was Eun Soo's death! I was not expecting that! Also, when they mentioned that Chief Yoon's child had died in an accident 3 years ago, I instantly thought that he was somehow connected to the murders, but it didn't cross my mind that he would actually be the killer. Dong Jae... sometimes changing one's personality is not possible, no matter what the person goes through. HOWEVER, there are definitely some questions that didn't find their answers... like what exactly happened with Yoo Beom after his 'I'm sick' play, also Yeon Jae? Will she really leave things as they are or would she seek revenge for her husband? Would she go against her father or someone else?? My BIGGEST question is... what was the deal with Jeong Bon??? He was present when Ga Young was found and he was also connected to Park's case, he felt bad for Chief Yoon, as a fellow criminal would. What was the point of showing us suspicious scenes with him and then NOTHING? I can't really say I enjoyed the open ending of the drama, BUT I saw that there is supposed to be a second season, which has been postponed for years and is reportedly coming out in less than half a year? I hope it's true and then I wouldn't be too mad that they left us hanging when it comes to important matters. Overall, 7/10. It could've been better, but the actors really did a good job, so... :)
I can’t move on this drama was too good .. any recommendations such dramas
I recommend you Signal and Tunnel! Those two are the best Korean crime dramas for me! God's Gift is also nice, Seungwoo is once again the male lead actor there. :)
I first thought of Myungsoo as a cat back in 2012 when I got into Infinite, so it's been a raaather long time since then! He definitely got better in terms of acting, so I'm looking forward to this one :)
It's funny how the only two dramas I've seen with him are God's Gift and Stranger. His roles in both dramas were similar though I still like God's Gift more, even though it seems like the majority of people prefer Stranger.
I hope that he will star in new dramas soon, I want to see more of him! :)
I just finished the first season and I thought that there are definitely some things, which need further explanation, so I was really surprised to see that there will be a second season! It seems like they have been postponing it for a while and now it says it will start airing at the end of January? I certainly hope so. :)
When I saw that Al Pacino quote in the beginning, I just knew that nothing would be the way it seems. It was a very good movie. Sometimes the border between fiction and reality truly is too thin and people often get swept away. My only regret is that the movie is a bit too short. I wish there was more after the last scenes, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. A steady 7/10 for me.
The aesthetics in the drama were superb. Whoever chose IU's clothes did a masterpiece of a job and IU herself really, really did amazing in presenting her character. Jingoo however... I've seen almost all of his works and I kind of found his acting a bit poor here. The supporting characters, especially the two elders did a good job. Whenever there's a drama with ghosts or a criminal one, which shows people's lives and how they've been wronged, I always get emotional, it gets to me. Sadly, I couldn't really feel the chemistry between IU and Jingoo. Overall, I enjoyed the drama, it was predictable and not something super special, but the actors, settings and the stories, which were told were decent. So I can give a final score 7/10, though it's a bit shaky, but the ending wasn't all too bad either, so...
As a huge fan of the manga, I was super disappointed by this movie. Japanese actors are not that good anyway, but the boy who portrayed Yoichi, just did beyond terrible job. 4/10 for me.
Overall, I enjoyed the drama. Bogum surprised me with his acting, it's my first time watching him in a main role, he just knows how to... flirt with the camera, in the right way xD Yoojung however was kind of annoying and whiny, which is not typical for her. She has been one of my favorite child actresses for years! I liked the comedy elements, especially in the beginning, but then they dragged on with some things and it was too much, there were too many coincidences and unneeded drama. Some people from the supporting cast did a remarkable job. It's definitely a drama to remember with many heartwarming moments, it brings good amount of laughter and even tears. Still... a very shaky 7.5/10 from me.
I liked the acting and the humor in the movie. It was both light and serious, dealing with important topics like how we should not choose our future job, just based on the payment we would receive. The title... is absolutely appropriate haha 7.5/10 for me =)
The drama wasn't bad and I liked the few plot twists towards the end. Law dramas always make me emotional, because of the cases T^T
The whole idea with "dreaming the future" was interesting, but only in the begining, after that I kind of got bored of it. I liked the acting, but I didn't feel the chemistry between the mains and Jongsuk... I usually love his acting and everything, but I feel like I'm watching him play the same role over and over again, nothing different.
They tried to have some funny moments, which weren't that needed and those scenes wouldn't have been that funny without the background music anyway.
Props to the supporting cast, they were amazing! As I said, it was a nice drama, but it could've been much better as well - 6.5/7 for me.
I really like both Changwook and Jihyun, but after 10 episodes (5 per 60 mins), I FEEL NOTHING for any of the characters.
No suspense and I definitely do not like how the romance started and where it's going, so... dropped for now.
Maybe I will continue it one day... if I have nothing else to watch/do xD haha
WOW, I did not expect to like this drama as much as I did! It's definitely one of the best series I've ever seen!
tvN has been going strong for years! I haven't been so into a drama since Signal.
I'm not even into the sci-fi genre and I usually dislike stories about aliens or with future settings, but they got me hooked from the start.
I was scared that I wouldn't be interested in what's happening in 2037, but they once again proved me wrong.
I'm glad I didn't watch this while it was still airing, because the wait for new episodes was going to kill me.
I did not get bored for a second, because everything was fast-paced but not rushed due to the number of episodes.
& can we talk about the acting?? Because dear lord... it was superb!
Also... the person who did the casting *claps* The 2017 and 2037 versions really did look alike.
I just finished the drama yesterday and I loved it!
I totally liked the acting and the developement of the story!
There were many plot twists, just when I thought I had figured out everything, they managed to surprise me with something.
I liked the ending as well and the drama as a whole gave me Signal vibes ^^
I finished the drama back in April, but forgot to leave a comment xD
Anyway, it was a really funny one, but I think they went overboard with the comedy sometimes, especially when it came to the gansters.
& I definitely hated Bongson's mother! The way she treated her own daughter and husband was awful!
They tried to make her look like a good character in the end, but she still left a very bad impression on me.
I definitely did not expect the dark theme with the crime, that was enjoyble.
I had such high expectations, but this was one of the worst K-movies I have ever seen.
It was so boring, it's like nothing happened at all... definitely not a fan of the developement of the story either.
It did show life quite well though, because it can be dull and difficult for sure.
