I really love good Korean films and TV series, but please emphasize the word "good". Since in parallel with good works, Korean cinema produces classic "Dramas", in the style of the well-known soap opera called Santa Barbara. Unfortunately, this series falls into this category, despite all my expectations. There is a tearful love story, very primitive stereotyped, moralizing sayings of the characters, scenes written on tracing paper, which I have already seen 10 thousand times in other similar soap operas. I won't even talk about the primitiveness of the whole scenario. Despite all this, the film is quite watchable, good budget, etc. If you need to kill a few hours, you can watch it, but if there is something better, don't waste your time.

An unfunny absurdist comedy instead of a crime drama I started watching this series because it was positioned as a crime drama. In the first episode, it was still difficult to classify it as a crime drama, but overall it was quite watchable. But soon, comedic and absurd elements appeared. Over time, they became more and more numerous. I can't say that I don't really like the satirical genre at all, but it's clearly not something that I can watch 10 episodes of. Moreover, to be honest, the humor was pretty stupid in most of the jokes. By the end of episode 2, this comedy began to tire with the abundance of all this.

I really didn't like this series because of the one-sided coverage of history, the use of well-known cliches, as well as because of the translation into the emotional plane and the play on feelings. From the very beginning, the scriptwriters use the well-known tracing paper, where the ideal family of indigenous peoples is shown for quite a long time and carefully, we see ideal people, everyone smiles 24/7, wonderful relationships and a reigning idyll. All neat, satisfied, well-fed and joyful. And then, according to the laws of the genre, inhumane, cruel and immoral villains (social services and police) appear, take away children and beat up parents for no reason. Everything follows the templates of the genre. All this is not to show the real story, the real life of these people, and the real reasons of the time for which this was practiced, but simply to evoke emotions in the viewer - anger, indignation, etc., etc. The entire film is built on such manipulations, which I personally do not accept. Give me a real story, and I'll decide how and what I should feel.
