only adapted part of the novel & the ending feels unfinished BUT overall it's great
the viewing lens is very important for this one. i had some warning about the ending so i wasn't too devastated, but it does feel unfinished. the rest of the drama is excellent, with great acting, chemistry, production, and ost. for me, definitely worth watching. if they made a season 2 and finished the story, this would probably be a 9.5/10 for me.Was this review helpful to you?
One word: unhinged.
I had expectations going into this based on how people talked about, and they were mostly met. I expected action, decent budget and acting and mafia stuff etc. What I did not expect was how funny it was?? Honestly Tankhun stole every scene he was in, and the side characters really made the show for me.Vegas,,, everyone always talked about Vegas, and he was one of the reasons I started watching because I wanted to see Bible in something else while waiting for the last episode of 4 Minutes to air. I can't believe it was his first acting job, he really did so well, honestly so satisfying to watch.
However, ultimately the amount of sexual assault, and just scenes with uncomfortable power dynamics was too much for me. The second half of the drama was really hard to get through, especially as the plot got increasingly messy, and I just don't think it was necessary whatsoever. A fun watch, but not something I would watch again.
