Yet another Mediocre overrated show, NOT a hidden rough gem!
So I decided to find the best k drama shows and did extensive research into many lists, opinions and reviews. I determined that shows like Stranger, Beyond Evil, Signal, Through the Darkness, The Worst of Evil, Shadow Detective, Mouse and Life on Mars are the supposed top 8 what South Korea has to offer in the detective genre.
Shows like Train and MY PERFECT STRANGER didn't even make it into the top 30, they are the most mediocre of average shows. I fear what other K drama is worse than that but the toxic fandom over-hypes and rabidly defends.
Story is way too dragged and the pacing is horrendous.
Simply talking things out could solve so many problems, instead every single word has to be dragged and tortured out of each character. I get why they are doing it, to artificially prolong the show, but sometimes it is too much, enough is enough!
These shows could be concise 8 episode works and deliver a solid experience, yet they are dragged for 16 episodes and it becomes a slog.
Even letting it run in the background as white noise while playing on a second screen is not an option because how stupid the plot is.
While it had some funny moments, it was not enough to elevate the show. The romance is forced and there is no chemistry. Time Travel was incompetently done: characters blame the younger versions openly for things they haven't done yet. That was cringe asf.
Skip the first 8 episodes that do nothing for the story except provide slice of life. Sadly that is the garbage I have watched and dropped it. Everything else I skipped forward to see the villain and how it ends. I truly don't give af about this show anymore.
8 on IMDB? Laughable. 4/10 and that is already very generous from me.
