The Middle Part was as dry as the Sahara Dessert
Didn't really intend on picking this drama up (and I really shouldn't have), but the first several episodes were pretty darn amazing, I love my scammers scamming bad people drama cliche alot so i have enjoyed quite a number from this genre regardless of the writing (see leverage, mad dog etc). And they did the scamming pretty cooly too, hardly seen breaking of the fourth wall and there were a good number of cool shots that are pretty rare in dramas.
But then the middle part came and let me tell you I felt like I got scammed into watching this (pun intended), the main cast kind of stopped scamming people to give a backstory that while interesting was presented in a very questionable order and convoluted way that made me care less as the episodes went on. I thought officer park (the probation officer guy) and mo jae in had a pretty interesting relationship going on with all the backstory but it wasn't really developed in the end and it felt weird that they were promoted as leads for this drama as well
The acting kind of saved the show and at least made me finish it but i definitely had to force myself through more than a hand ful of episodes (like 6 eps), really a waste of talent, if only they had kept that intial sparkle and kinda speedy story from the first few episodes, it would have great
