Very disappointing!!
The premise of enhanced agents working covertly to bring down a criminal organisation isn’t new but I was looking forward to seeing actor Park Sung Woong as a baddie. Park didn’t disappoint as the charismatic, menacing and ruthless Hwang Deuk Goo. Unfortunately, he was let down by the writer, director and the rest of the cast. (Park deserves a '10' rating for his acting but he's let down by the rest of the cast so hence the '5' rating.)
There are too many baddies we don’t care about vying for position when it is obvious to viewers that Hwang should be the kingpin. The same goes for the Rugal agents. It is customary to have a team of with complementary skills and personalities working together to take down the baddies. After watching the first few episodes, I got a gist of how each of the four became suitable recruits for Rugal but I didn’t get a sense of who they are as people. Aside from superficial traits such as Kang Gi Boem’s (Choi Jin Hyuk) tendency to go off on his own, endangering himself, his fellow agents, the Rugal agents and supporting team just aren’t interesting enough to hold viewers' interests.
Poor characterisation and a muddled story means I dropped it after only four episodes.
