I really wanted to like Jirisan. I found the initial episodes really interesting. However, I feel show is heading off in a direction that appears to undermine a great story re the importance of this mountain in people’s lives. The acting is good. Some of my favourite actors are here. The cinematography is amazing. The writing though, fell apart for me during eps 4 and 5. Perhaps, I am too impatient. But, my gut instinct is telling me to walk away - so, dropped.
Although the first two episodes were well made and the story well told, I didn’t really start to enjoy show until about halfway through episode 3. Now I am really looking forward to episode 7 and what comes afterwards 😊
What more can you ask for re such a delightful show? Not only that, but the cast is awesome too 😎 This is a cut above many other family driven shows and I like the different relationships that have unfolded so far. I’m really looking forward to eps 13 and 14 😊
At the halfway mark - what a wild and intense ride! The red herrings in this show are awesome. Finally, a spy thriller that keeps you guessing, is in your face and blurs the lines 😊
What a good watch this is turning out to be. I think their relationship is great - a mutual understanding that they are not really aware of yet. The sit in scenes at the gallery are a hoot. Bring it on Ms Barista 😊
Four episodes down. I enjoy how consistent show is with the right amount of quirkiness. My favourite characters are the “uncles.” The scenes of how Yeon Joo studied to become a lawyer were funny and how she outwits everybody is fun to watch. The MIL’s reactions are priceless 😂
At the end of ep 3 we have a show that is on another level to previous espionage/NIS outings. I can’t wait to see the house of cards come crashing down that the career bureaucratic NIS executive has built. NGM is terrific and it’s great to see PHS rocking a very different role. The Veil is a very apt title…
A big, over the top production that I found didn’t work. It took me about three months to watch it from start to finish! I love Jackie Chan, but he missed the mark here. Vanguard had huge potential with all the ingredients to make it an enjoyable and fun ride. Somehow, it didn’t pan out that way. Still, as long as Jackie keeps making movies, I will keep watching them.
Overall, I enjoyed this series. However, I thought the final episodes were very up and down. There is a post credit scene that is awesome. Make sure you watch it 😎
Wk 4 (eps 16-20). The story wandered off course for me and didn’t grab me anywhere near as much as with earlier episodes. I found myself ffwd through much of this week. Some classic hair pulling throughout and Sang Hyuk continued to become even more awful. I will keep going for now.
