Three Stars

This episode killed the momentum for me. In previous episodes I saw Kang Chul holding and handling the gun incorrectly, and in this episode, how he discards it is criminal. But the writing in episode six seemed inconsistent with the drama's own logic, and the decisions of Kang Chul and Oh Sung Moo were out of character. I found myself wondering why stars like Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo chose to work on this project. Thankfully the previews for episode seven sparked my interest again, so I'm not dropping this just yet. As long as the characters stay true to who they are, and the story abides by its own logic and doesn't just pull unexplainable twists out of thin air, it has potential.

not the end?

The bridge from EP 5 to Ep 6 felt very much like an ending, where many of us may have expected the drama to eventually end up ten episodes down the road.

instead the writers steer into the skid and come out the other side with innumerable interesting possibilities to get us from here to there and i for one am stoked to see where this goes now that they have chucked expectation.

i was a little disappointed that out leads spent so much time apart this week but it allowed for interesting developments between them and other characters and gave the drama room lay all those wonderful possibilities i was talking about earlier at our feet. if the previews are to be believed they'll make up for it next week.

now i will sit in dramaland limbo until next Wednesday.
