Ok, I normally only write possitive recs since there is enough people critisizing dramas due to liking the characters, actors, couple chemistry and plot... But this one has serious problems even without taking those into account.

1st HUGE problem is edition. I was watching episode 6, and they left many unedited or poorly pasted screens in scenes, in which, if they wanted, could have solved them by avoiding showing the pics, or screens... But there are other scenes in which they pasted cuts from other scenes into scenes that should have been integrated using CGI but they didn't.

The first 2-5 eps were ok in this sense, but, I can't continue watching something like this when there is a HUGE TECHNICAL MESS when only cutting those scenes could have solved it.

2nd Problem: the elitist female main character, so rich and powerful maybe a little too over the top and difficult to approach... I don't know much about this world, but it doesn't feel realistic or natural. They create a new environment where this people control the world most powerful people with near spy devices and techniques (which may be true but it still feel forced). The operations room with the motorbike like computers... WTF?

3rd Problem: They spend too much time in every case subjects life problems, like mini dramas into the real drama, and makes it really slow.

4th Problem: They make an effort to portray a devastated alcoholic man that risks his life to take pictures for a sadistic boss, but in 4 episodes he is almost cured. They want to make a dark atmosphere where every body exploits everybody's weaknesses for an exclusive, but it feels like the male protagonist accepts it too easily.

5th Problem: WHERE ARE THE SUPPORT ROLES? There isn't ANY comic character, no close friends, no rivals, no backgroud characters that stays more than 3 mins on screen (or that have a real relationship) that are not: employees that only talk about work, homeless people (that I thought would be the comic ones, but nope), every episode temp characters...

I'm not watching anymore, maybe in the future if I get bored, but it was this series what I found boring, I love action dramas like The K2, The guardians, Lawless attorney, 2 weeks, and I thought this one was foing to be like them because of the first episodes... BUT WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!

When you are more on your smatphone than watching the drama, you know that you are not enjoying it.
