Why do you call it a thriller?
27 November 2020
It is an overdramatised soap opera, where the boring pace is supposed to create tension (it does not). This Korean Sherlock wannabe is just simply annoying who is supposed to be extra-super brilliant but in reality things just are keep moving in a truly convenient way for him. I cannot even make it until the end of the 'masterpiece' season one, but after reading so many reviews hailing this extra budget soap opera, just felt the need to write. How on earth can you praise acting when all the characters show their true faces in their very first scenes? And the great plot, oh my... just so many dumb 'twists' that felt embarrassing to watch. I am probably just not open to such stories, but overdoing while oversimplifying does not make a serie drama. The directing is especially horrible for me. In case the serie is shorter by half, may have been a decent sow, but the writer and the director wanted to make it epic that so much it smells sweat. Expected so much more from this
