Amazing bromance and comedy make a 12 episodes fly by as if they were 4
My spoiler-free very quick review:
The bromance made this show SO thoroughly entertaining. I don't even need to point out this but will: Wi Ja Hoon (je hound, oui! :P) is totally perfect in this role. The character development and story are also solid though some is predictable (but that's fine-it's too pleasant a viewing experience to need it to have intense suspense levels)... the scenes the writer concocted, though, were definitely not your usual even if the basic tale has been told before!
It has two weaknesses that made me throw it into "8/10 objectively, 9/10 subjectively" territory. First, the action has quite a lot of too-obvious fake punches, kicks etc. I'd say about 1/8 of the "hits" were unconvincing, but again... I didn't need it to be so perfect-had it been Jang Hyuk at the helm, I would've expected more, but it was still satisfying coming from these guys, and their chemistry more than made up for it. The camera didn't always get perfect angles with the hits so you can see no-contact "punches" fly, but what they did a GREAT job of=switching between the leads. That was truly well-done.
The second weakness is the lack of time/development for the supporting cast. The cast did really well with what they were given, but they just weren't given a lot of airtime. Their characters had really solid strong personalities, though, and I swear Lee Dong Wook would probably have intense fabulous chemistry with a fruit fly at this point. He must be hella fun to work with. I'd LOVE to see him and the FL in another show together-they had the "it" factor that made me REALLY want more of them albeit in another storyline. (Oh, and she and Cha Shi Won who played Jae Seon, the emotional big guy in the team, had really great action moves! They could definitely handle more shows, and I adored them both the whole show.)
Again, if I was objective, it'd be an 8/10, but my viewing experience was just too joyful, so it gets a 9 from me. Highly recommend-it's short, bromance and comedy are A+, and the time will fly by (if you like what I like at least). Wi Ha Joon might be my second favorite LDW pairing after Kim Beom!
