A Próxima Aposta

I have been watching a lot of Tv Series recently, from crime, action, adventure, drama, comedy, and this show got all of it. I'm not into drama romance type of series, because sometimes it will became lame, and always repeat the same story lines. This shows always catchy from the start, and very good in story/writing. I always wait every week for this show, and every episode was worth it. This show sould get more recognization and more rating.

This was my second Korean Tv Series after Squid Games, and I love it already eventhough just 5 episodes. No cliche', just pure great stories and twist. The actors that played the charactors also is a well known, so nothing to critics on acting, because they was genuinely can act. And actually, I just want to see Choi Min-sik act (because, I know him from Oldboys), and what a pro actor he was.

I really hate what streaming services do with dropping projects in batches. Either drop the entire thing or make it serializing. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment after a decent first season (more like the first half of a 16-episodes drama!). The plot ended up being all over the place, with twists that felt more like they were forcing us into paying attention than actually adding anything interesting to the story. Some side plots were only there to buy time. I wasn't a fan of the ending either, they should've just ended it in a normal fashion. The characters were fine but I wish there were more interactions between Moo Sik and Seung Hoon. I'm not sure why the drama had 18+ rating considering it wasn't that violent, although it had one tiny quick intimate scene and some smoking? The opening theme was cool.

This is an interesting and watchable drama that stars one of the best character actors in Korea (Choi Min Sik). It has a well-crafted script, engaging dialogues, and unpredictable plotlines. As a result, I kept watching to see how it developed. There are a few missteps, however, that make this drama not one of my favorites. 1) the story jumps back and forth with no particular purpose and leaves many loose ends behind.; 2) The show becomes disorganized, especially in the second half, with a ridiculous ending that seems unintended by the writer's initial plotline; 2) There are many unrealistic storylines that are inconsistent with the character of Choi Moo Sik. For example, he is too often unprepared for predictable attacks, and also, he is very gullible and naive-- unbecoming of a successful mob boss (although he thinks he is a businessman, not a mob boss). I think the writer tried to depict him as a mob boss with a heart of gold--unsuccessfully. 3) The last few episodes are very disjointed, showcasing thoughtless plots. Acting is terrific in general, especially that of the leading actor. For all these reasons, I give a 7 for this drama.

OK, to be honest, most of Korean drama that Disney created so far was so brutally bad. But this one is different. We can only see 3 episodes of 16 episodes now. However, all 3 episodes are pretty good and the story is inserting and fast enough. None of them were boring. All the actors are doing great job on their acting. It's great to see so many great actors again that couldn't see these days often. And you know Choi min sik. He is the main charter in this series. He is from the old boy movie. He is killing it in this series. He is doing some actions too. I'm looking forward to see more episodes. I can't wait to see all 16 episodes. First season is finished on Jan 25th and the 2nd season is coming from Feb 1 5th.

Pretty good I think this is one of the best k dramas out there - especially for guys, but girls would love it too Unpredictable and great acting by the casts such as Choi Minsik and the detective.

Great storyline, and getting to see two different countries : South Korea and the Philippines and from the 70s up until the 2000s.

Had they aired this from netflix it would have drawn much more attention for sure, quite sad that people dont expect much from disney anymore apart from star wars, marvel, and disney animations I am at episode sechs of season two Cant wait to see the rest it's killing me.
