Female lead is irritating and makes it hard to watch this drama

I saw the vision the writer had with the female lead but execution was done horribly. The female lead and her character absolutely ruins the show. I understand having a bias against the male lead but she takes things too far all in the name of “justice”. Or what she claims is justified, all while her terrorising behaviour is ignored by her fellow police peers. She’s so strict on everyone else with the law, but is blind when it comes to her clear harassment and breaking of the law, when it benefits her while abusing the male lead. Currently only watching this show for seo in guk and the other characters. The show would have been much better with another female lead or a female character who wasn’t so annoying to watch on the screen. I genuinely feel the urge to throw something at the tv whenever she pops up on the screen. Her role is so annoying and has no purpose except antagonising the male lead because of he biased beliefs. On the other hand, this show is very comedic and interesting to watch but would have benefited from having a female lead character that wasn’t so annoying. Rewatch value 1/10 due to the fl actions. Im trying my best to continue watching this drama but by episode 6 i had enough . The male lead is awesome with his acting and they tried thier best to put comedy in every scene which is the only thing that had me going but the humour was mostly acying and not the concept . The female lead with oversized black coat was boring. This would benefit from another female lead or a better screen writer.

End on a High

Ah the old flavour of 跑男 is back. I’m glad to see the laughter and humour back, with the suspicions that felt fake yet were confirmed. The beginning reminds of that one episode from (I think S3 of Running Man China?) where they woke each other up from their bed! I really enjoyed this episode, hope to see more of Zhao Lu Si as a guest, Zhou Shen, Kun, Bailu and Shayi as MCs along with the old Baby, Li Chen and Zheng Kai.Although you can tell that Zheng Kai has undergone A LOT of character development since the very first episode of Running Man, and I won’t lie in saying that I miss the old him along with the Friday CP. From the young carefree competitive man to the family first, tired-eyed him now, he’s sure changed a lot.

Thought romance, turns out Pokemon Go: Thriller addition ... w plotholes, and awkward writing

So I was expecting this to be a lovers reunion; I've always thought so from the cover and title, that's why I kept the title on the Plan to See shelf for so long ??Then to my surprise this is Pokemon Go the movie with a DEEP PLOT and ACTION!I liked the story premises and I'm hooked up!But the acting more like writing was on the weak side considering A LIST actors were on the show! Their actions and reactions were sometimes awkward, embarrassing, and weird!I hope it's just a first episod thingy where some series have everything awkward at first..Aside from that, we have PLOT HOLES, not many but major ones! Like we have no idea when did he get the AR lenses, we don't get any back story on how futuristic is AR in this world! Like why was he so impressed? We don't know in his world how developed is AR games to judge if the game is really that impressive!And we didn't know the email contents or see how he located the contact and the starting point of the game, especially that he was totally clueless about the whole thing!but he adapted so fast and streamed the game live to his team?!?! All these major things make no sense, for we saw his first night went awfully and he only booked the night of his arrival!Anyways, it's a good original plot as far as I watched with great actors and setting so I hope it doesn't go downhill.
