My Current 2025 Watchlist (so far)

Started & Finished in January '25.

What a disappointment ! Such an overhyped drama !

It started so well (that "plot twist" ending of episode 1 was especially exciting - I was seated !) and I was quite entertained until about halfway through when it rapidly started going downhill.
As the show progressed, the storyline became more and more unrealistic and the characters' development stayed too superficial. I could barely understand any of their (nonsensical) actions or relate to any of them.
The plot also became SO predictable in a very chaotic way (like they were desperately trying to make it eventful).... until the most RIDICULOUS and UNNECESSARY (and politically shameful) last episode ever.
Btw, have you ever heard of the Republic of Argan... in Africa (obviously) ?!?  ;-D

During airing, most viewers were talking non-stop about the main leads' fiery chemistry. Well, I'm not so sure about that, sorry, but I'm pretty certain the only thing that saved this drama is the ML (Yoo Yeon Seok) great acting.
PS: sadly, the second couple (was there even a second couple, really ??) had ZERO chemistry.

At the end, I was relieved it was a short drama.

I just loved this MLs' bromance and enjoyed the first few episodes but was quickly fed up with the same "too choreographed" violence as the story progressed.
I really liked the 2 second badass FL's and was sorry their roles were not as integrated in this series as the other male characters. I would have loved to see overall more character development.
After watching "Mr Plankton" first, I was again in awe of Woo Do Hwan's subtle acting (whose sweetest character here is totally different from the one in "Mr Plankton"). This actor is just incredibly talented but, even though I loved him and Lee Sand Hee in this show, I'm not sure I will watch the second season.

Currently watching.
