Refreshing story, intriguing, exciting, thrilling and unpredictable plot with a LAME ending.
As much as I loved this show and how unpredictable and crazy the game was, as much as I detested the writer’s failure in terms of Characters in the last 3 episodes.
Si Jo, the creator of the game, returning from his dungeon and being utterly useless, tongue-tied and frightened like a kitten the whole time without answering any questions, surprisingly enough Hee Jo never felt that her brother is responsible for the dreadful events following the introduction of this game, and the death of the most beloved character “City Hunter”
If a person I love or from my family was involved in creating a dangerous thing, I would feel guilty and apologetic to others while trying not to blame him while he is down and low. I found this to be quite strange and utterly unacceptable, especially that they all treated him like the victim even though Jin Woo suffered all the losses and negative outcomes of this game. Se Joo didn’t even propose the possibility of Jin Woo hiding till the last 20 minutes of the show, this is ridiculous, I think he is the WORST character in the show. He offered no explanations, he had no clue what was going on, he didn’t shed a light on the creation of the game or how he met Marco, most importantly doesn’t seem like he understands where the awful glitch started. Also, if it’s meant to be a 'game, how come he was sure Jin Woo is dead because Emma deleted him? Isn’t this a game? And why did he become a virus in the first place!
Secretary Seo is the real star of this show, he had a fun, endearing personality and portrayed being NCP in a haunting, heart-breaking manner, I can’t forget the blank expression on his face every time he appears an ally.
The soundtrack is ALL lame, a part of “Memories of Alhambra “piece played by Emma and when Dr. Cha appears with thunder and rain, other than that the music failed the show.
Episode 15 was pointless, Episode 16 was trying to touch down on reality and I think it did quite well until the annoying Park Shin Hye went running to find Jin Woo where he was claimed to be. However, one question was always ringing in my head: Why does she always jump into a cab when she has her own car?
