I really like K-thrillers , horrors and Sci- Fi so I was really looking forward to this series . However I was bitterly disappointed . This series is terrible! If you’re going to do a time travel Series/ Movie you’ve got to make it make sense . It all has to slot into place and the time travelling part has to be constructed so that it is logical and feasible to the viewer . There also has to be consistency.
This Series had none of the above . It was nonsensical . There was no proper construction It’s as if the writer had a few whiskeys and muddled his way through .
Another discerning aspect was that the content was very, sparse. Basically The same event happened over and over again in nearly all the episodes
SPOILER ALERT . The main aspects to this 16 part series were:
1) The male lead Han Tae Sul looking for his brother
2) Han Tae Sul and the female lead were constantly running away from from the ‘baddies’ , a secret government agency called the Enforcers
3) People Time Travelling from the future to the past
What was repeated over and over again in the episodes was that Han Tae Sul and Kang Seo Hae would be in a building and Kang-Seo would look out of the window and suddenly see a fleet of black cars full of armed men from a secret government agency called The Enforcers. Instead of fleeing immediately they’d wait until the Enforcers were at the door and then they’d run off or Kang Seo would fight them off
Kang Seo is a slight woman but fought off about 15 -20 special forces men who had powerful guns. It was just not feasible as sometimes she wasn’t even armed. She was also jumping off high rise buildings without even getting a scratch . Although, Kang Seo’s James Bond type moves were fun at times eg using a portable Zipline to escape from the baddies .
Another issue with the movie was the time travel aspect . It was a total mess . The episodes kept on going back and forth to DIFFERENT years . Most of the time there was no relevance . And it became confusing as to what the present was .
Importantly there was a device used in the PRESENT day , in conjunction with an array of high tec computers to time travel .HOWEVER in the FUTURE there was NO explanation as how people travelled from the future to the past .We were NOT shown any equipment . ( There had been a nuclear war and the future was desolate , no fresh food only old tins of food , no clean water, no clean air, no computers etc). We saw people in the future go for a walk and then suddenly we’d see them appear in the Past !
There was a scene where a police officer wasn’t very nice to his mother . She died suddenly , so he was racked with guilt as he mistreated her . So he travelled back in time to make amends with her before she died. He then was shot dead by the Enforcers . So as he was dead , he would not be alive in the future . BUT in this series he was alive in the future !
This series was far too long . The 16 episodes dragged on and on . It should have ended on the 6th episode . It feels like the episodes were quickly reeled out for to make a quick buck off Netflix
