The quirkiness of the female lead is giving me the ick. It's giving dumb and feinged instead of endearing and genuine. The girl is old enough not to act like an ingénue. It's kinda an ick, her character.
Enjoyed the show, loved the actors.But i want to rant over how vague and impossible the murders are to commit,…
Best comment about this show is right here. Although I have rated the show really high (don’t ask me why. I just did). But this comment summarises everything that I had in my mind throughout the show lol
(Trying to keep it spoiler free) It’s a fantastic watch. Except the last episode and a half. Plus we didn’t get much insight into what happened to the killer when they were abandoned. All we got was their hate first at the person who abandoned them and then the people who actually wronged them.
What a cartoonish mess is this show. Not my cup of tea. Unnecessary comedy OTT characters Police officers who mess the shit up more than solve it A guy whose friend has just died but he is fuming, pouting, flirting, stuffing his face with boiled eggs and constantly acting childish and immature out of jealousy. A female lead who has unnecessary beauty shots while in the heat of the moment. A team leader who is stupid and incompetent for comic relief. Only redeeming angle is Lee Sang Yi's character who is the only one focused on the job of not just protecting the girl but also trying to solve the damn case while a caccophony of lunacy unfolds around him created by his own colleagues. Oh and these olympic avengers also have some sort of Olympic PTSD, which glitches their system and the bad guys conveniently get away cos of this.
It's so underwhelming. There's no suspense. It's just laid out there. Storytelling is not tight like Worst of Evil or Evilive. 6 episodes in and it lands flat.
I am curious about something. If any Korean viewers are here and can tell me how is this show being received in Korea? Especially from the critics standpoint. I saw this post saying it's No.1 in Korea right now, which is basically telling us the organic viewership of the show.
But how is it being received/reaction by the critics other than the public?
i heard the writer of this drama is very wise and succesful , especially good at presenting life's realities so…
@rubywooks did you watch it? thoughts? I mean...I had to come to this conversation we had 3 weeks ago just to catch up and see if you also experienced a Mr. Plankton hangover lol
Protagonists are so fucked up and their relationship so toxic. No wonder people like this, so many toxic relationships…
To be honest though, every time the FML kicked, cursed, slapped and manhandled the ML, I was like this jerk totally deserves it. Both needed therapy, like BAD!!!!
Ohh my gosh why don't you just say that you hate it because it became famous and your favourite star wasn't a…
@Kimchidramalover Can we just be respectful of other people's opinions. Some people will like it. And some people won't. Some people will see the rational of the choices the characters in this drama make , some people won't. I love the drama for its incredible acting and casting. But the plot post episode 5 just tanked. Also, certain actions of the male lead seem abominable because we are given no explanation for them. For example, when he upped and left the FML at the doorstep of her biological mother, a girl whose life is dictated by a sense of abandonment. And then he doesn't apologise, nor does he explain why he did that. It left me confused. Who would do that to someone they loved? Perhaps, someone with a lot of issues.
It has nothing to do with hate. It is just a perspective. :)
Watching it for NKM. So will stick with it.
