Can’t say yet

I tried watching this show few months back and dropped it, I picked it up again to watch after watching The Devil Judge (special shout out to the one and only YoHan aka Ji Sung, you were perfection).
I am yet to make my judgement on the rave reviews about this being the best action series, the reviewers here claim to have seen because I haven’t gotten that far yet.
As much as I want to drop this again, I will give it 2 more eps to see, because this 1st ep is blowing my mind and not in a good way.
Michael called the airport control line and an agent picked up, after the phone call we suddenly have fire and the fire alarm baring at the control center and said agent was murdered. How did the assassin know he was going to call and call at that very moment and who the agent that was going to pick the call in order to set the fire and murder the agent in a very “flawless” manner, I shook my head so bad @ the ridiculousness of it.. The scene was beyond unbelievable and almost too much for me to tolerate but tolerate for 2 more eps I will in hopes that that illogical mess can be somehow redeemed. Fingers crossed

Update @ ep4: Ofcourse they had to make the female lead dumb. She is an NIS agent, a trained paid one at that, as she has stated several times but she has zero spacial awareness, they have tried to kill them several times but girl, go ahead and co-join hands with your friend/colleague in the airport and chat about food and why don’t you ladies skip also while you are at it. While the ML is scanning for any hidden threats. Typical KDrama where the ML is better at everything and smarter also than the FL. Smh
They just arrived in the country and the journalist already knew that. How the hell did the journalist know that they were arriving on that particular day and also knew the restaurant they were going to. They are hiding from the people that are trying to kill them and these people can supposedly scrub crime scenes, tamper with evidence faster than you can say Jack Robinson but yeah stay in a building where all the blinds are wide open that anyone can see them. Damn. So many head scratching plot holes and illogical decisions by supposed intelligence agents.
It’s gotten a lot more interesting I must admit but the plot holes and dumbs decisions are so glaring, it’s wild.

Why does Cha Dal Geon have to scream and shout every time he’s talking. That only makes him sound crazy and silly. Whether he shouts or not is not going to make people believe him or not (it actually does make it less likely people will believe him because they will think he’s coming from a place of grief), they ended up just giving the viewers unnecessary migraine from all those screaming.

Update @ ep6: my patience is seriously wearing thin at this point. She is a trained agent and can’t keep her composure because she shot someone and almost gave the gig up with her hiccuping, really. Smh. I am going to drop this for now because if I don’t and continue, I might just drop it completely with how so over it I feel right now.
