Long Time No See

The story had so much potential which was definitely utilized but not up to the potential.

It is a good crime/romance series to watch. Good story and acting in a very short period of time, so very watchable.

Some plot holes left due to the short timing but otherwise a very good mini series that you can definitely give it a watch.

I loved that it was funny. I wasn't expecting it to be funny. Something I need to point out that I didn't really like was how his father was really creepy. Don't know if anybody else saw it but I did. Also when they didn't know how to end a scene, they'd just fade it out. It looked choppy. But it was a cute drama. The couple was very cute. The acting was pretty good and I looked the backstory. It had a plot. The plot twist was fire too. I was not expecting that. I won't say what it is obviously. The ending was okay, I feel like it could have been better. It's not a drama I'm gonna remember anything about. This was just a simple watch and I can't see it being a favorite. But anyway, decent drama.

The story had a lot of potential but unfortunately it wasn't too well executed. The characters had no depth whatsoever besides their vague backstories. They did have a lot of cute scenes together, and the actors had chemistry (though the acting wasn't on point at all times) but I didn't even really understand what they love about each other, besides both of them being gay and attracted to each other their relationship wasn't really flashed out well.

For the most part I felt like I'm just watching a mid gangster movie with some softcore p**n scenes. Besides the cute scenes their relationship had no substance and that took a lot away from the plot and the "plot twist". The action scenes were good, and if the twist was developed better I would have loved it. But we didn't really get an explanation and what came after that was just.. confusing. It's not really a spoiler- one of the main characters did something bad and the other found out and felt betrayed (rightfully so) but then on the very same day it wad just solved, forgotten, forgiven. It felt like there were no stakes, no consequences and didn't make much sense, no sensible adult would just let something like that gonin a day.

About the "gangster" side of the story, again there were some parts that didn't really make much sense or were not well developed. And then by the end the whole thing just felt rushed, the ending was absolutely unsatisfying.

I still gave it a 6, regardless of its flaws it was a fun watch, I'd recommend it if you're just in the mood to watch a mid bl with some action scenes. If you want something deep or want to get really invested in the characters, don't waste your time with it.

Something different compared to your average Asian drama. "Long time no see" is a Korean gay version of Mr. And Mrs. Smith, in which two hitmen fall for each other, and then have to face their competing bosses. Woo Suk Tak and Seung Ho Yeon acting performance is decent (contrary to the secondary characters, unfortunately). The story is rather simple, and although it follows a cliche, it is a nice change that this not the typical Asian melodramatic plot, but rather an action packed (well sort of), mafia plot with an unexpected brutality (although not too much compared to today's Hollywood standards).

In summary: A little bit of romance, a little bit of action, and some skin make up a pleasant evening with a Hollywood-like happy end. No real plot surprises, decent acting and cute faces. Who needs more?
