Great actors. Today, watching episode 8 I laugh like crack. It's really a great new kind of plot and has a lot of funny moments!!! Love it. I'm anxious to see the final episode but at the same time I will not want it to end!😳 Happened to me before with some dramas, recently, specially StarUp and Hospital Playlist. But this one is over the edge as of now.

I dont know where to start.. its not even the acting. Maybe its a cultural thing for me and I am not used to asian movie making although I did enjoy Kingdom and Stranger. This one however..
First of all: the soundtrack is totally over dramatic throghout the first 20 minutes. Its on a 100% thrill all the time without there being any thrill that would justify such an intense soundtrack.
Then there is the way he burns a whole estate down in slow motion in the beginning and then does the whole "cool guys dont look at explosions" kind of walk.
Then he snaps the sim card and drops it in his glass of champagne.. its almost like a parody of every hollywood stereotype from the 80s but its just not meant as one.
Worst scene however - and we are still talking first 20 minutes here - was when he said "Papa" to the dead patron.. I mean theres a South Korean guy who looks like hes 15 years old standing in front of his patrons coffin and then just says "Papa" and nothing else. Sorry but this show does not even come close to 6* if it was rated objectively.
As i said, might be a cultural thing but I just cant take this seriously and it seems to me that a bunch of people just gave 10/10 ratings because the want to boost korean film making or the genre. Its doesnt even come close to shows like The Wire, Chernobyl, Gane of Thrones, True Detective, Narcos or House of Cards and yet its very close to their rating. Please people stop abusing the rating, it should be objectively and not a vehicle for national pride or cultural preferences.

This so far with just two episodes is the best start to a series i think I've seen, great actors and writing which is where series are made.Great chemistry between the characters and no flaws in the story so far it appears set up for 20 episodes which is a tough test for KD to do without foolish plots but so far this is fantastic.
Kim Yeo-Jin is building a hell of a resume for herself with many great series
it does take about 15 min of background in Italy then it moves along quite well

Episode 19 and 20 sucked. The villain managed to set up a perfect trap for Vincenzo and yet the plot armor let him escape!!!

Honestly, I sort of enjoyed the early episodes that melded violent crime with slapstick. But it morphed into slapstick and soap opera. Over the top acting, plot and generally silly, cringeworthy scenes.
A meandering mess that forced me to stop after 7 episodes. I checked to see if I was near the end and was horrified to see how many more we due to follow. A horror show.
Oh, and once an episode our handsome hero throws his lighter away with dramatic effect to burn some major plot location down. Within five minutes we see him annoyingly flicking his trusty lighter that must have magical powers to resist in his hand. OMFG. 🙄
