The CGI is so bad it's good. Its like 2012 youtube video level.
The story though is actually hilarious if you don't take it seriously.
For example, the entire setup is mind blowingly ridiculous. The male lead is on a plane all sad about his dead brother who was unable to join him in his success, when something hits the plane, killing only the pilot and it turns out it was his long dead brother! WHat?! And then it turns out his brother is not only not dead but perfectly alright!
It definitely takes the cake for one of the most ridiculous setups I've seen and it's not even a parody. Everyone is super serious about the whole thing. I don't even care about it making sense now since they threw common sense out the window in pretty much the first episode.
The main couple is super forced and really cringy right from the start where they weren't even a couple till now. The direction is bad, they know what they want the result to be like but have no idea how to properly execute what they have in mind so even though everything seems right, it's feels wrong and cringy. This is hard to watch.
seolhyun cute daughter??? lolI didn't know people exist who would want their daughters to be a bully and be so…
what the 'troll' says is exaggerated but not entirely untrue though I just want to say this is why trump got elected, people be blocking what they don't like to hear and its really easy to create your echo chamber on the internet
So its comedic tone with the serious stuff happening in the background doesn't really go too well. These guys are a bunch of amateurs, their boss is an amateur, the king is an amateur.
Even putting aside the comedic tone, these guys are supposed to be spies aren't they? How do people supposed to be spies end up making a scene everywhere they go, and are super emotional about everything? It really doesn't work. Its like a bunch of joke characters play acting something serious.
It doesn't work but its a good time regardless because of Honglang.
Its so good to see a show really go past your expectations. I started watching it for NGM, and honestly, first few episodes was a bit lackluster. It looked like a generic police/crime drama thing, with a bit of that korean spice added.
But the last 4 episodes or so, things just kept ramping up. I think it was a bit predictable but the execution of it was amazing. Really looking forward to this now.
This show was such a letdown. It started off pretty good and I was interested in the spy stuff. But then when they revealed the mystery behind Derek's organization, man that was super disappointing. It made me look back and feel silly for ever having any expectations.
I've noticed this trend with the Korean shows that it always has a good start, with potential but the reveal and stuff is always super underwhelming.
This must be a problem of the system, since they probably encourage starting off with high ratings, so the writers always promise what they can't deliver. So they can't really start slow and then surpass expectations.
I mean I never thought the manga is amusing, enjoyable or hillarious in any way. Fairly speaking I got bored instead…
The manga is more enjoyable if you pay attention to the relationships between characters, for which there is pretty decent development. The humour is generally the tone.
Really feels like they switched writers at the end.
The moment to moment chemistry was gone and was replaced by generic interactions.
It became unfunny, cheesy and cringy.
It's like the executives fired the original writers and hired some random writers to finish the drama off generically since that would be the safe bet.
It leaned in so hard into the gag where they keep showing up naked in the middle of campus, and honestly it was pretty unfunny. It was pretty unfunny in the manga too, and the manga quickly moved on to the friendship between the diving club members. The movie writers must have found that tiny part really funny since they focused a third of the movie on that one gag and it kinda ruined the movie for me. The manga is funny, but has heart but this movie has no heart.
this one is a mess The writers chose to focus on the story and the character development/relationships is secondary but the story is really mediocre but acts like its hot shit. Its a bad but ambitious idea so props to the writer but also they failed to execute it.
i honestly don't understand all the hatred for do san. Yeah, so he isn't the perfect male lead who is cool, has…
I would say that the dudes parents are the worst. They have the nerve to shit on him for dropping out of college as a literal child. Even grown ass people have trouble in college. They act like the since their kid is smart, he 'owes' them for his brains. Like horrible ass entitled people honestly.
Its like they were too lacking emotionally to handle such a smart kid.
I know right? So unrealistic for abandoned kids to grow up with emotional and attachment issues.
Of course it is understandable that there are issues, but his issues and most of him is used like a tool not a character that interacts with other characters like human beings His purpose in every scene is super clear like a tool, and that makes it less fun to watch him because he is a tool and the writers do nothing to hide that he is a tool
