Deal

Honestly, I lowkey expected it to be boring and a disappointment, but oh man, I was SOOO wrong. Watching it turned out to be the best decision ever!! From start to finish, I was completely blown away. It was packed with surprises that kept me on the edge of my seat, and I genuinely couldn't take my eyes off the screen.. The plot twists were incredible, each one hitting harder than the last, leaving me in awe...It was genuinely entertaining and enjoyable, far beyond my initial expectations. I literally cannot wait to rewatch it 10 more times!!! If you haven't seen it yet, trust me, you are missing out big time. This is one of those rare gems that truly deserves all the hype!!!

I have had a fair share of K-drama experience, and I do watch it here and there expecting exactly the expected, some usual clichés, comedy with goofy music, the talking out loud parts to explain the audience, and its fine, I like it, I dive in this every once in a while to just lay back and enjoy with little to no worries.

Then this show comes up, I try to go for a show without going much into the plot but rather the genre I am in mood for. Sadly I read a single line that did mention kidnapping, but to my surprise that did not ruin anything at all for me.

The show starts off with this right from the get go, and its freaking great start off with the music, the character intro, the location and moves well with each new interesting scenes, and if you are going to enjoy the first episode, then I am sure you would love the rest with the ending. Now I did start off big with comparing with others cos it is, it is definitely different from others. Well atleast for me it is, the show surprised me with some of the elements, the characterization felt organic, for every character, the actors did good, when I try to think back about it, sure there were some incidents of typical drama stuff but it just went over me to notice it when I was watching it, cos show was kinda raw and felt very different while engaging and fun.

Also if you are a K-drama viewer like me, you would have also noticed alot of these shows have 13+ mostly 15-16 episodes per season, and that doesnt make necessarily bad for all shows, there is definitely a forced stretch in these kind of shows, the difference is how each show executes them, shows like Stranger , The good detective did well for me, I didnt get bored. So a bonus for me with this show was the 8 episodes, which I feel is the right amount, definitely the right amount for a K-drama.

Definitely worth the watch if you like crime, thriller, not your usual K-drama that's for sure.

The story is fresh and interesting, raising themes that are rarely presented in a film or series but which often occur in the real world. The theme of kidnapping was carried out by someone close to him, namely his friend, because he wanted to ask for ransom money for college fees and pay off debts and change his poor life. The storyline is light but packaged with good cinematography which adds an interesting impression to each episode, the main and supporting characters play the scenes in this story quite well, giving a natural impression, as a kidnapper who is firm and realistic in thinking about things based on facts. On the other hand, there is a conflict with his conscience, namely feelings of guilt for his actions and fear.

Korean Drama '' The Deal '' is a thriller about three friends and a really sticky situation.

The drama starts out pretty strongly and is a psychologically twisty spiral that goes deeper and deeper into darkness, as the characters have to make their choices.

However, the drama suffers from its short length. Thus, it didn't have the chance to have a smooth progress, or have things develop organically. And, as the drama started adding more genres and more situations and twists, everything happened too quickly. In the end, the conclusion was rushed as well.

The performances, on the other hand, were all great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Another raw, no holds barred drama from Wavve, in the same uncompromising vein as the previous Wavve offering, "Weak Hero Class I (2022)".

The Perfect Deal features two ordinary young men thrown into the remorseless world of criminality, despite being patently ill prepared and unready for the lurid consequences of wandering, open-eyed into this grisly, twilight world of kidnapping and recompenses. Though just a miniseries (8 episodes in all) the stark, often blood-curdling realities encountered by so-called normal people, lured by the promise of gain into the potentially barbarous treatment of others is very reminiscent of the vintage US series Breaking Bad (2008-13), and whatever the differences of scale between the two dramas, the effect on the audience is just as face-on and, at times shocking. Those that enjoy tense dramas will probably warm to this one, which is guaranteed to jolt, and to keep you on the edge of your seat. I am looking forward, after watching 3 episodes to discovering just how the plot unravels, and whether anybody at all shall escape with life and liberty, or something a lot more lucrative?
