Title Diary of a Night Watchman
This better get a lot better once Jung Il Woo steps onto the screen. It already has a bad odor to me and I don't mean the cheesy effects. I can take cheesy effects all day long. What I hate - I mean really hate - is pure baddies that have no other motivation than just being bad. This was one of the major weaknesses of Gu Family Book for me - the big bad was just EVIL and had nothing else to his nature. It's so shallow and lazy to have the bad guys just be evil BECAUSE. And right now, we've got a whole lot of evil BECAUSE going on in this drama and it's actually just annoying the crap out of me. For examples of good bad guys (i.e. ones with depth and complexity written by writers who aren't lazy, see City Hunter, Joseon Gunman, Story of a Man (I have a list).
