Oooh! I quite enjoyed the plot and the set design was amazing! And so was the cast! It was an interesting experience having to read the subtitles quickly on the side and then paying attention to their acting.

Then the Chinese couple next to me started snickering when a fan of Park Hae Soo’s told him his fans are called “Hae Soo Nation” (witnessed a fan service moment with my own eyes!) But also got annoyed with the Chinese couple for trying to gatekeep the fan about how to “watch a play properly”. Ugh!

But the show totally lost me when armed private army started shooting up a street in Seoul like it was your generic American city. And people just stood by and watch. Nope. And this was the time when there was so much news about Netflix's show Trigger being violent.
