I read through a few of the reviews on this drama before binge watching it and I realize quite a few of the people who reviewed this drama didn't watch the entire thing. They have questions that were answered - mainly who killed Susan and stole Rugal tech. I'm not sure they could have made it any clearer - so the people who had that question obviously didn't watch all the way or they fast-forwarded through eps.

THIS IS WHY YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T GO BY REVIEWS ONLY IN YOUR DECISION TO WATCH A SHOW OR NOT WATCH - just sayin'

Anyway -

RUGAL isn't your typical K-Drama. It has no romance (except for Ki Beom and his wife). It's not your simple love story or mystery so I think people underestimate it.

Someone complained there was too much action - I don't think there is ever such a thing. But let me address that for a second. This drama has been tagged as an action drama. The type of show it is, requires a high level of action. The RUGAL team are technologically altered. What's the point of being enhanced if you can't use the enhancements? The actions sequences are necessary.

The premise was gritty but good. The story flows right and the plot twists were surprising. There was one twist I saw coming but the rest of them had me shook.

I love a good bromance and this drama has that. The group grew together, which was important to me. I loved the way during fight scenes where Tae Woong doesn't even have to turn around to know Ki Beum has his back. It was a beautiful thing. The bromance wasn't instant - it took some building for the two to get along but it was so worth it.

Gwang Chul was the most adorable thing - he is badass but so sweet. Half the time I want to hug him and put him in my pocket and love on him.

Min Na was kick ass. She was a strong woman who takes no prisoners. The one thing I didn't like was she got knocked around a little which was later explained because apparently she wasn't as enhanced like the others. Maybe that was the reason but she managed to get grabbed by the badguys a few times which probably makes no sense. Will rewatch it later and pay closer attention. But I liked her.

The acting was amazing. My heart broke for Ki Beum to lose the love of his life not once but twice. That's something to kill a man. The pain in his face - I cried so hard.

All in all, for an action series, this was amazing. The music I could have done without though. Most of the songs sound like the opening song from a nineteen nineties anime intro.
