Not quite. The big guy electrocuted himself with the live wire in the water.

Same

Yes. This was actually one of my 2026 rated dramas, but at the same time forgettable (I had to read the synopsis to refresh my memory after a half-year).

Netflix has the utmost control over original content. The Guests writers may be enjoying their paychecks while lamenting the experience. If they got out with their souls intact, they can call it a win.

Someday (hopefully soon), someone will write a series with Oh Eui Shik in mind for the lead. Maybe with Oh Jung Se as his older brother.

Perhaps they should have turned Ju Gang Chan in to the cops (or the SMD) themselves. Also, in their defense—who would have suspected—after having just escaped the SMD—that the construction thugs could be so sophisticated (with the trucks)?

I would love to read about the conversation in the room with Kopiko when the production negotiated the product placement. It wasn't the Popeye-spinach moment I was expecting, but actually better.

All the acting was spot-on. The director was handed a perfect script and his execution was flawless with a light touch. I wish more dramas were as good!

"Happy Birthday. Sorry, there's no cake. It spoiled." (Camera pans to reveal the refrigerator is missing its door after having earlier been used by uncle to "defend himself from a thief").

I love the subtle bits!

While the construction thugs pulled off a kidnapping with the sophistication of a bona-fide intelligence operation. That truck manoever with the sleeping gas was expertly coordinated.

"Just who the hell are these bastards? Is he the same guy who got on his knees in front of us? He seemed like an ordinary middle-aged man. How? What the heck? Who the hell are these middle-aged men with glasses?"
🤌🏼 🤣😂🍿👏🏼

I agree with you. I haven't read the manhwa or had it spoiled, but I think that because Mole Rat is so over-the-top he must be an NK sleeper agent.

Gotcha 👍
I think of the villain's reveal as the highlight of that drama

That was a joke. But there is truth in what you say. If I hadn't liked Vincenzo so much (and wanted it to finish as strong as it started) I wouldn't still be so sore after all this time about being so severely disappointed!

Great K-Dramas are so few & far-between, it's frustrating when one gets so close only to face-plant before the end. So I'm especially happy to have Agent Kim Reactivated on my watchlist now. 🤞🏼

I couldn't have been more disappointed. If I hadn't liked this so much I wouldn't still feel so sore about it. It had so much promise and really should have been as great for me as many (maybe most) others do consider it to be. IMO Vincenzo had an amazing first half but went off the rails and became entirely absurd soon after it peaked when the villain was exposed.

Vincenzo had an amazing first half but went off the rails and became entirely absurd as soon as the villain was exposed. It had so much promise and really should have been as great as people like to pretend it is. I couldn't have been more disappointed. It's still better than My Demon, though.

FYI, there three more seasons of Leverage (US), titled 'Leverage Redemption'. Noah Wylie replaces Timothy Hutton as the mastermind (Hutton had some career-ending scandal, I don't know the details.) And Aldis Hodge's makes multiple cameos as his character Alec Hardison, but a new actress plays his sister as their new genius hacker-in-training. LR is not quite as great IMO as the original, but still pretty good!

This series is obviously inspired by Leverage, with a team of grifter-thieves who take on big-time crooks & corrupt public officials.

Even the name of this drama exactly mirrors the titles of every single Leverage episode (Eg., "The Bank Job", "The Mile High Job", etc.)

Those aren't drama episodes. The specials will show behind the scenes, outtakes, & cast interviews—and will broadcast on SBS in SK, but not stream on Netflix.
