Too Fuss For Nothing!
This one has everything i love in a Drama.
- Time Travel
- Crime
- Serial Killer
- Mystery
...Everything.In Theory!
Because when reality strikes you, it does really hard.
Reading the synopsis and see such a high rate i got "high" myself and couldn't wait to start it.
The first episodes were good until they weren't.The story seemed interesting and i was curious how will go on.Many characters introduced and i wanted to find out what threads tie them all,what troubled lives they lived and which fate brought them together.
And i was waiting..and waiting and everything went in circles without any serious reason or without any plausible explanation. It wasn't because of the Time Loops and Resets,though.Because iam so familiar with all these and if the script is good i have endless patience. But here i started to get bored.Like really bored.And i thought wtf,this suppose to be my cup of tea.This is the kind of Drama i never get bored watching.So what happened here?Have i watched too many i lost my interest?Or maybe this is not so good written and all the characters are not so attractive?Obviously the latter.Based ofc on my personal taste and criteria.
What Twists and Turns???Not for me.I was driving in a very straight and long road and i was hoping for a pit-stop ahead but...
Suspense was forced and fake.The cliffhanger at the end of many episodes was just too unbeliavable,unrealistic and ridiculous.Giving us multiple suspects/villains just to create suspense when obviously noone would believe that "A" was the killer,to me is just poor writing.Especially when in the very next ep, plot points towards "B" just for the next ep to point suspect "C". This is not how a good story unfolds.It doesn't give chills.Just laughter.Iam sorry,this is how i felt.
I really had many expectations and none fulfilled, thats why i sound too disappointed.
In my opinion the Time Travel element most of the time was unnecessary as it really not added much to the story.It was more like garnish or side dish.This show would be more interesting if the writers focused on create an evil character,a serial killer with depth,with dark past and history ,and involve the rest characters in a cat-mouse game.I wouldn't mind some clichés,it would be better than the course this story had.The idea of Reset was promising but at the end it didn't deliver.
The writers had some scattered thoughts inside their heads.Many of them were really good and inspired.Though they failed to turn them into an intriguing story.So they gathered all those thoughts in a messy canvas and they didn't even try to put them in some reasonable order.Remained scattered and confusing.To put this simple,they took pieces from different puzzle boxes and they tried to form a picture.Is this even possible?No, with Logic Laws this is impossible!
The targeted victims of the Serial killer,normally shouldn't had anything to do with the group participated in Reset.Why should they after all? Killer clearly had no idea about the group and the Resets.He finds out only at the end.And why on earth all connected in this web which simply doesn't make any sense?Killer's urge to kill should be irrelevant.But no,writers once again realized the big flaw here and decided to give a totally lame explanation one episode before the end.As if this could save all the f*** up mess of previous episodes. The "reason" of killings is entirely opposite of the idea of a "Serial Killer" as they ended to peddle them as a necessity to justify the connections.So the killer wasn't actually a psycopath but had to kill a dozen of people just because he learnt about Reset.A bunch of crap,if you ask me!Are you confused enough? Did i mention a poor writing??Yes,i did.That is why i talked about scattered thoughts.Writers were unable to sufficiently tie them all.Squeeze all and force to make sense it doesn't help.They made me question every line,every chatacter,every scene.Even my own sanity!Simple because everything was indeed questionable!There are other Dramas when this happens is the mind-blowing factor to say they are masterpieces.Here..not even close!
I don't know if iam the weirdo here or iam too demanding.No cohesion,no flow,just mess and frustration.
I wanted dark characters with twisted minds.With hidden secrets ready to kill and die.I wanted so much more than this.
Some mysterious music ,some shady chars barely scratching the surface of the psychopath character i wanted to see as the main Villain and some "suspicious smirks" weren't enough to excite me,to give me the wow factor and keep me at the edge of my seat.
I don't mind dropping bad Dramas but i usually don't do it , just because iam way too stubborn.
And this is the only reason i finished this.Because honestly i wanted to drop it several times.I had a small hope and was waiting for the big twist,which never came.
Nothing really was in a high level to give it some points.From music to acting and from production to direction,everything was average to good.Ok few credits to Ml's acting.He saved this part and thats why i gave 8.Otherwise the rest cast didn't do a great job.
The only detail i really loved was the showcases the killer kept his trophies.Very elegant and sophisticated choice!
As for the ending..It made me laugh hard.I guess that wasn't the purpose of the Drama,though....What i took from all this was that one man was bored with his life and just wanted to have some fun.That was the reason writers gave us.
Maybe iam too strict with this but in every review i write i try to be as objective as i can and ofc iam always honest about it.
I do not discourage you and i do not prevent you from watching it as my opinion is the least popular,obviously.But if after you watch it you have similar ideas,give me few heads-up,to make me feel less lonely!
