NOT PERFECT BUT ENTERTAINING.
an action thriller about identity, family, and escaping the life you were forced into.
the action was everything, the fights were one of the strongest points.
Mr. Kim wasn’t just a “strong main character” his fighting style matched his character alot. calm, efficient, scary when pushed, never wasting movement.
the action felt like the story was moving, not random fights thrown in.
the father daughter story, the heart of the show. “a father who gave up being a weapon try to protect the one person who made him human”. min ji wasn’t just a plot device her relationship with her dad was the reason he changed. the ending with them starting over was a good and perfect choice.
the plot/story, very strong concept North Korean intelligence, South Korean intelligence, political corruption, gangs, revenge, family drama. it was a lot, the twist paid it off, the 66 storyline was handled well.
the characters carried the show, Mr Kim .. one of my favorite parts was that he wasn’t trying to become agent 66 again. he was trying to bury him, his biggest battle wasn’t fighting enemies. it was accepting that he deserved a normal life.
Han Su and Jin cheol, the chaos duo, everytime they showed up, you new something funny or ridiculous was about to happen, but underneath the comedy their loyalty was real.
New 66, started as “I’m here for revenged” ended as “maybe I don’t have to become what they made me”. good writing
Mr ju, hated him.
emotional impact, you’re think you’re watching guns, fights and spies, but “here’s a father crying because he almost lost his daughter.” ..
Romance ? .. Nam hoon and min ji were cute, i love my action dramas, but did i root for them alittle? HELL YES, but did I think they needed to end up together? No. the story wasn’t about first love. it was about min ji rebuilding her life. their ending felt mature.
The ending, was alittle worried because shows loves this “main character sacrifices himself and everyone cries.”
but Mr. Kim got something he never had. a future, the fake death, new identity, cherry blossoms, the new life..
it wrapped up perfectly.
