well, at least it's thrilling
finished: Crime Puzzle // mystery, action, thriller, cult // Yoon Kye Seung, Go Ah Sung // 7/10
i was looking for some fast paced, thrilling drama and i think this once was able to give me that entertainment at least at the first half. i actually expected more from it, some mind games, hard to solve mysteries and different cases base on the title (and i didnt look at the MDL raring beforehand), but it was disappointing in that part. there's not much mind game, and although the characters are portrayed to be smart, they dont seem that way. there are many times that they did really stupid things, esp the FL.
although the acting from the actors are amazing, the action and thriller are really on point and the first half of the drama has a potential, things just went downhill by the second half. it feels like they just decides to drag things, with all the characters who are supposed to be smart suddenly acting so stupid.
honestly, the ML's goal was clear, and i understand why he's doing things. but just it feels like there's something missing, the soul overall of the story. i know the character's reasons and intentions, but not in a deeper sense which hinders from truly connecting with them, in a way that i cannot really deeply, root for them and feel their vulnerability as a character.
also, i know that they want to show how bad this people are, but like the killing spree is a bit too much. one thing that they also forget to explain more is the cult itself, e.g. what are their beliefs? what do they do to brainwashed this much people, who are even willing to k1ll3d themseleves for them, commit that *sin, watch someone d13 in front of them? what made them believe that this filthy, horny, old man is the Messiah? honestly, i would have believed it more if the female villain is actually just after the money rather than her faith. i just cant see what made them believe in that cult. as the center of the plot, the writers should have focused more on that one rather than giving us so many deaths.
the punishment for those criminals are also not enough for me. plus the fact that the other part of that cult werent even caught (seems like theyre also even trying to put a season 2 with that ending) it's just so questionable? like, how come they didn't all fall down? no one even realized that that old man actually has a family, hellooooo??? i feel so bad for what happened to seong pil, and the chief inspector didnt even tell anything about su bin HELLO?!?!?!?
the first half was good, i enjoyed the actor's performance (found a new actor to add on my watchlist HAHA Chocolate, welcome to my never ending plan to watch list) although they didnt live up with what the title has offered. if only they continued that, i would have give it a higher rating. anyhow, i enjoyed the thriller part and the production, editing, and OSTs are on point so 7 it is.
