The show is overrated.
SPOILERS ahead
——————————————————————
Graphics - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Undoubtedly, this show is packed with best graphics. Specially how they portrayed the creature Seishin.
Actors - ⭐️⭐️
Actors delivered based on the script.
So the fault lies on the script.
Only Lady Maeda’s acting was plausible than the main actors’.
Story - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
They tried to do action, romance, supernatural and thriller at the same time. Giving more emphasis on the romance in the midst of a rebellion and monster experimentation doesn’t feel right.
Script - ⭐️⭐️
Some of it was good but the most notable scenes that made me cringe are:
1. the military men inside the hospital are very slow and can be outwitted by anyone with a head. And they appear when it’s time to shoot the monster. Where did they come from?
2. Tae Sang is a super strong character who can deflect bullets and can run after putting a few powders of medicine onto his wound. He was having a hard time walking when he first entered the hospital. But miraculously, he can run and outwit the military after Chae ok put something onto his wound?
3. Chae Ok is an emotional/suicidal savage who can’t do any other things but to go after danger after danger after danger then survive. She even chased Akiko into the woods without even figuring out what the plan is. She just ran like a lunatic. Could be due to her job as a sleuth. But detectives tend to think first before going into danger.
4. The tortured characters have the strongest mental fortitude. After undergoing such traumatic experience, both Mr Gu and Tae Sang’s bestfriend recovered like nothing happened.
5. PSJ & HSH chemistry is really not there.
6.In the last episode, Lady Maeda with her stupid ninjas pursued Tae Sang and Chae Ok. The ninjas outnumbered the two main characters (Tae sang: Gun with max 6 bullet; Chae ok with a knife 🙄), YET!!! they waited for the two characters to draw their weapons and two ninjas attack each main character one at a time. 🙄
7. There’s no sense of urgency. Everyone is taking their own sweet time while they’re being chased by the goons. 🙄
8.Didn’t Chae Ok die immediately after her mom pierced through her? Ok, let’s say she just losed consciousness. BUT why did Tae Sang cried like she’s already dead? He should’ve brought Chae Ok to a nearby clinic (if there is) to save her. But instead, the worm found its way to Chae Ok 🙄
Relevance - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I like how they incorporate some history in it.
