Review:
Ju Ji hoon wearing black turtleneck and trenchcoat, with his mysterious and serious vibe is serious enough to convince viewers even non scifi lovers to watch this drama. I can watch him all day even without a plot LOL. How to get a bodyguard like him??
The non-romance romance between the leads got me so hooked too. I read in the interviews that while the actors were shooting, they also felt the sexual tension between the two even though there really wasn't supposed to have one. Now I want a proper romance drama with them!
10 eps were short so every episode was fast paced and intense. That episode when CW got shot was like OMG. He can't die right because it's only halfway but wait.. is he going to be a mutant??? That is so cool!And later on, Jayu's car falling down a building was merciless, I also gasped while seeing her car. Shet is she dead?? Where is CW?? He's too late!!
Guessing which BF employees were the traitors were also fund and interesting. I guessed the first one, but not the other one.
The scifi elements like the AI, the whole building (but their cybersecurity controls suck big time!!! I would totally fire Seo Hui, he's not doing his job as Head of IT!!), and CW's audition were also cool.
I hated that the writer made Chaewoon look like a sloppy bodyguard to move the plot along. Good thing he redeemed himself in the final episode when he charged and took down a lot of the intruders.
The last 2 episodes also felt rushed and hectic. Instead of focusing the plot on developing cultured meat vs its impact to the other industries and humanity, the story was switched to the usual corporate greed and politics, which was slightly disappointing.
Season 2 please 🙏🙏 I want to see the leads get together and take down the PM.
Rating: 8.5/10
