"Panoramic" review and comments about the final
The very first episode had me attached to the screen. I remember this had like 4 episodes, and I saw all of it in one day or two.
The actors are amazing, most of them pretty known and may I add, please don't kill me yall, I had never seen any Lee Jong Suk dramas. But, I did knew he was pretty good! So to watch him in this drama, with those acting skills (he either looked like a maniac or a cute teenage boy and I loved it ~) I was astounded by his performance. I was always in a rush to watch the episodes not just because of the story, but also because of him.
I dare to say that for, at least, 8 episodes I almost added this one drama to my top 10 .
But, like many others, I am very disappointed in the last two episodes and that just affected my evaluation.
The ideal scenario for the latest episodes was to uncover everything even if the bad guys still winning.
Like, "we are winning and we don't give a d*mn if you reveal this or that. We'll still win." There's no problem in bad guys winning, matter of fact, thats what happens in this world. That's reality.
That kind of actions are what maddens people even more, but we still have the little hope of either:
- The good guys gonna do it all clean OR (the best one) the good guys actually turn into (also) bad guys and takes care of business in a dirty way.
Well, it did happen. But it took a lot of time for Chang Ho to realize that. Of course, with Mi Ho's death (wich I was betting on for awhile), it had to happen and he also respected her wishes of being a good 'Big Mouse'... But why did the story turn out to be like this in like... the last 20 mins?
This should've been built better. I don't get the rush, at all. In 16 episodes, everything could've been handled well, even with Mi Ho's death, with the disappearance of Jun Hee, etc., everything was understandable.
It was needed. But not for this kind of ending.
Now for last comments, I am seeing a lot of people wondering about Chang Ho's emotions on Mi Ho's death.
So, here's my theories:
- He either doesn't know how to portray that kind of emotion (talking about the actor himself )
OR
Another theory (and this is what I believe in):
- Chang Ho has suffered a lot this entire time, he was forced to change his mind, his way of doing things, he had even to manage to be able to change his emotions/ reactions... so at the end, he couldn't show what he felt inside.
He was indeed hurting, but he couldn't deliver any more suffering than that.
Plus, he was also accepting that he was happy and he'd do anything for Mi Ho - not to make a scene, to stay calm even though its a tough situation and handle the rest of the things as he should and let her rest in peace believing they have lived a wonderful life together.
I'm betting on this because I remember his crying scene, when Mi Ho visited him at the penitenciary, God d*mn. He was crying like a little baby that felt lost on a beach and got separated by his parents in the middle of the beach lol...
I am quite happy, of course, by seeing that Chang Ho took revenge that way. "Try your own poison, mother******". But this kind of rushed ending has sadden me, because this body of work had everything to be good.
Needless to say that I wanted to see a desperate and malicious Park Chang Ho after her death and then yes, taking revenge on that pig Do Ha.
