I love crime. I love mystery. And it’s set in the 1900s?
This was the first drama I’d completed since 2 years ago, and it was definitely a nice reintroduction back into kdrama watching for me. I’m seriously a sucker for crime/mystery set in the 20th century, and this drama certainly didn’t disappoint. As with many of these types of thriller dramas, there was some deus ex machina, but it wasn’t as in the face, if you will, compared to other thriller/action dramas. I’m certainly no movie critic by any means, but as a casual viewer, I really loved the pacing and the sudden cuts between the more comedic scenes and action scenes. There were a few plot holes of note, but I assume they’ll be explained by whatever happens in the second season. I’m so stoked for season 2!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
The very first episode grabbed me in so fast, and made me feel so many emotions. Second episode on, it picks up its pace and IT IS HILARIOUS. ohmifrickinholylordjesus this is so goood. Final notes, looking forward to the romance between KH and SH and the weirdly developing relationship between YE and WW lol. This is seriously some GOOD CASTING and good writing. Can't wait for the next episodes to air. :) 10/10
--------------------------
Finally finished and I have to admit the action part of this drama definitely had a few loopholes, and the ending episode left me feeling a bit disappointed. However, I loved the action scenes, especially the umbrella one with BCM, so I'm going to give this one a nine. I'm looking forward to the (possible) second season too.

my favorite character was probably Sujin

I actually had to watch this for ib lit (my fav course ever 🔥🔥) and had only one night to complete it, so I watched it on 3x speed (definitely ruined the cinematic experience for myself).
From the casual movie viewer facet of me, this was honestly a pretty boring watch.
However, from the super critical, analytical deep thinker facet of me, I loved it. To be fair, I love analyzing even the smallest details in literature, so if you’re a fan of literary classics, I’m sure you would absolutely love this drama.
(I’d actually watched this movie a few years ago back when it was super hyped up, but dropped it after the 15 minute mark because I hate movies with manipulative protagonists no matter how warranted or justified their behavior may be. But I mean the title is literally PARASITE for god’s sake, so what was I expecting?)

I’m also literally the biggest Agatha Christie lover, so plot twists every episode are literally my whole vibe
(It was enjoyable reading all the theories in the MDL comments every release—a rare case where I’m kind of glad I was watching this drama while it was airing—this seriously was a crazy ride.)

a mostly satisfying ending to the first season
i don't know what to say really. again a 3pm-2am watch the very next day after watching "The Gifted" LOL. There were a lot of plot twists, and I'm not really sure how I feel about them all. I don't know if it was too much, or if I just felt uncomfortable about not being able to "feel" how the story and how the plot would unfold. But even so, even if it was "too many" plot twists, I think it's good if a story is able to make you feel that way--when you really aren't sure how things are going to turn out, who's going to make it to the end--and I think it's the first time I've felt this way to this great of an extent. I will say that **mild spoiler**, all the plot twists seemed to cover up the holes in all the obstacles and successes the characters' faced, but at that point I was just going with the flow tbh i had no thoughts after getting betrayed over and over again as a viewer. I also didn't feel all that satisfied by the ending, but it was an adequate ending to an otherwise wonderful, wonderful show. I would recommend this. **I also just wanted to add that i love all the characters and the shots of the class every time pang enters. i also really like the quotes at the end of each episode

a must-watch with a wonderfully executed ending
i watched this from 3pm all the way to 3am. it was great and i thoroughly enjoyed learning about all the characters and their potentials. there's so much packed into these 13 episodes, and every second of this show is worth it. my first thai drama and i'm really glad i tried it! better than a lot of what ive watchedVond je deze recentie nuttig?
