Had everything but 'class' ...
Ah .. where to begin.
I went into this without even reading a synopsis, dove on into the murky water.
And what murky water it was.
First episode was .. interesting.
I feel the 1st person visual experience of the dad's accident was not needed; made me cry (my own dad died in a car accident).
The villainous son had such an odd look to him - almost like a modern joker in Korean form.
I can't put my finger on it, but his look was just off throughout.
I kind of felt bad for him b/c he was clearly mentally sick due to years of abuse.
Which brings me to the bad dad, the owner of Jaanga (or however you spell it).
He said he started the company so his family would never starve YET he starved his family of the most important thing - love.
He was horrendous to everyone around him, especially his sons.
And do people really get away with slapping others in front of a whole board meeting?
Such odd concepts of abuse scattered about that seem almost over kill (for lack of a better word).
He was a vile creature and the actor portraying him did a great job pulling off the sliminess of the character.
The ML was nothing too special - his feelings were kind of all over the place in the end.
And what was with the romance angle?
His first love choice was just weird; selfish, self centered, and grossly contradicted his core persona.
Then the FL was obnoxious, had horrible hair (distracting throughout), was creepy stalker-ish with ML, completely unprofessional, and her overall role was just ridiculous.
How is a teenager (with no societal status other than social media followers) leading corporate big wigs around, calling the shots?
And then the "woke" concepts they tried to fit in this ... *smh*
There were several that could've been left out.
The story was all over the place already and the side issues were flung in there with no rhyme or reason.
There was no chemistry, no romance, very little solid story to go off of, and outlandish business scenarios.
The music was not that great .. intro song grated my nerves.
Eh .. it was a weekend watch that ended up not being very enjoyable.
Just more garbage churned out by Netflix.
