What a frustrating viewing experience.
Rugal had a lot of elements that could have made it a great show - an interesting premise, good actors, cool CGI, and just a fun super-hero vibe. Unfortunately, really bad writing completely ruins this show. The plot points were all there, but they are never connected. Scenes feel disjointed, unexplained, and confusing. Even using logic jumps, there is just no cohesiveness to the writing at all. There was also no clear goals for either the good guys or the bad guys - what is Argos? What were their goals? What were they trying to accomplish? None of this is clearly explained, and so it felt like there were no stakes to anything that Rugal did. There was zero tension except perhaps in the beginning, making the viewer feel bored. I mostly finished the show because I like Choi Jin-Hyuk and I thought the artificial eyes were cool. Although I really couldn't take anything seriously once they gave him that anime-esque emo haircut.
This was such a disappointment because it felt like a marvel-type show and could have been really cool if they had executed the writing well. Instead this was a total mess. It really felt like something that a 14 year old wrote while high after watching the Winter Soldier.
