Oh dear!
No spoilers because I can't even make it to the 30 minute mark of episode 1! I love Kimmon, but why on earth can't he and Copter ever catch a break? The story is definitely nothing new, but that didn't bother me - I don't mind a blue shorts come engineering story, and I can handle one-sided/unrequited love tropes too, but what I can't stomach is a lead couple with absolutely no chemistry, and who really don't even look good together. Nor can I stand a crap script, and worse subtitles that make absolutely no sense. It seems that Kimmon and Copter just keep accepting roles in really awful series for some reason. They're decent actors, but never get a chance to show it. They've got the chemistry, but even when they're a couple in a series, they're dealt a dud hand when it comes to the script, or even the general quality of the series. I only found out about this series because it was mentioned in something I was reading... and now I know why I hadn't heard of it. I usually always give a series a fair go by watching it all the way through, out of respect for the actors, but I just can't this time. We've been thrown so many bad series recently, with 2023 being the year that channels for some misguided reason, decided that the viewer would be happy with quantity over quality, no matter how bad the offerings, that I've just had to starting saying no to series that just don't cut it. I still maintain however, that I will never blame the actors, because what we get to see, is what the scriptwriters, directors, and acting coaches want us to see. Unfortunately, series like this do nothing to show how good an actor is... or isn't, for that matter, because you can't see past all the other bad things about it. Just once, I wish Kimmon would be offered a decent, serious, and credible role. Honestly... don't waste your time. [Unfortunately, it seems that I have to give a rewatch value of at least 1 star. If I could, it would definitely be no stars at all. So all I can say is, watch at your own risk.]Was this review helpful to you?
