Private Lives (2020)

First of all, I know this is written by same writer as Cruel City, but lower your expectations...like a lot. The plot did get really good at one point and the action was pretty excellent. However, the drama tanked toward the end. I think most people felt confused or lost as to what was going on throughout this drama. It seemed to me like this drama was having an identity crisis. Is it a drama about swindling, espionage, or political conspiracy? It just seemed all over the place. I never got fully invested in the characters, except maybe the female lead, and ultimately felt unsatisfied by the end. It didn't feel like a proper conclusion...something was missing and I think it's because they didn't tie it back to the beginning.

Good, BUT ONLY IF YOU BINGE WATCH

For me, this is a confusing one. I managed to binge the first 12 or so episodes and then had to wait for the next episodes to be released. From episodes 1 to 12 I loved Private Lives pretty much. I thought it was great, although in some parts a little confusing. But when I had to wait a weekish to watch the next episodes, I just found myself lost and alot less interested in the story and characters. Although the acting and chemistry was superb in this, I thought how characters were introduced were not the best.

Anyways, follow my advice and I'm sure you will love it to the end. Private Lives is definitely a great watch as long as you are consistent with it and don't wait too long to watch the next episode.
