Let's Get Grabbed by the Collar

Korean Drama '' Let's Get Grabbed By The Collar '' is a mystery melodrama.

The series tries to blend a serial killer case, with the family drama, the romance, and the old mystery cases.

However, the story somehow ends up being boring, despite the plethora of plotlines and themes that it deals with. Probably due to the predictability of the plot and the overused twists that ended up being cheesy and eye rolling, the drama didn't offer any surprise.

Also, the romance was neither unnecessary and should have been omitted, or should have more time to develop and not leave it to some flashbacks to do the job of bonding and developing the chemistry between the leads.

Finally, the performances were enjoyable.

So, overall, three out of ten.

The actor Kim Ha Neul (Female Lead) was completely expression less and like why was she there?????. The Plot didn't had any weight and it was just dragged for 16 episodes.

A Husband (great actor and did some justice to the role), expressionless and bad actor (female lead) entangled in a murder mystery which makes it a chain of murders. Then romance, love triangle, politics, Office hierarchy, corruption and what not. Complete melodrama and that too boring on top of it.

The change in actors, Director and producer would have done some change, but judging by cartoons who made this project, it is a lost cause.

My personal thinking and not imposing on others.

Only 4 episode in and lots has happened. And yet maybe not so much. All the tension are from guesses, speculation, and incomplete information.

Two murders already and some love triangleS. And possibly more explosive details from past events to come.... For sure.

It's kind of formulaic once you seen many of these. Unlike something more refreshing like a recent Japanese TV movie of a series, Do Not say Murder. Albeit that one has some heavy political undertones.

Back to this. The main actress to me can hold the screen.... Some of the times only. The husband and other detective not that much better. It seems everything is well done but...Yet nothing spectacular stands out. And the pace begins to drag, story without enough substance and being drawn out.

Question now is should I keep watching when other shows like 1958, dominant species BF seems more interesting or fun to watch ?

Nope.
