O Jogo: Rumo à Zero Hora (2020)

There was an attempt

The first half is what the drama should've been and the second half is what the drama shouldn't have become. The start was decent enough with a compelling concept and characters, however, everything began to crumble down after the first half. The pace significantly slowed down, an overwhelming amount of repetition and flashbacks was shoved in, the mystery was over at that point, the cat and mouse chase became boring and there was a general decrease in the collective IQ of the masses. Nonetheless, the story itself was weak and didn't explore any interesting ideas. The whole thing was infested with plot holes even after excluding all the supernatural elements. The inclusion of romance was a hit or miss at times. I'm disappointed that Park Won Sang didn't have a bigger role in the drama.

Okay, I have never before written a review on anything before actually finishing it, but I just had to with this drama. This drama is not getting the recognition it deserves and I do not understand why people are throwing this drama under the bus. The drama itself outclasses a lot of popular melodramas. It is perfect for whoever likes thrillers that aren't too dark, as this one isn't hard to watch but still keeps you intrigued. Normally I like to watch dramas with a darker plot than this, but this drama succeeded in keeping me guessing in my head what was going to happen next.

The acting as well is very good and the female lead is not your casual fragile girl, but got a likeable attitude. There might be a lot of flashbacks and scenes that replay themselves a lot, but it is bearable as they don't drag things out for long. Things progress at an enjoyable pace where they keep adding suspense to the plot rather than keeping you looking for the same answer which often ruins a plot. Instead, they solve a lot of questions fast but keeps it interesting by making new questions with the answer.

La serie empieza muy bien y durante los primeros cuatro capítulos te mantiene en vilo completamente, pero el problema es que luego hasta el final va flojeando.
Hay demasiados flashbacks y la historia se alarga demasiado en el tiempo. Tal vez si hubiese sido una serie de 12 en vez de 16 capítulos le hubiesen podido sacar un mayor provecho, porque en esa búsqueda de la historia se cometen algunos errores obvios.
Merece la pena verla porque además de entretenida, el final no decepciona, pero no sería una serie que repetiría.

Eso sí, las actuaciones de Lim Ju-hwan y de Ok Taec-yeon son fantásticas, transmiten muchísimo y llegas a empatizar con ambos

Karmic events will always lead to a mouthful of regrets?

/ Actual Rating: 7/10

/- I watched because of Ok Taec Yeon since the last show of him that I had was Bring It On, Ghost! which was before his military enlistment. He never fails to carry a drama.
/- This was not so bad. It had the action at the first phase of its episodes. But then, it came to me as the pace fell off and it was quite predictable to me. It is somewhat predictable in a way that I won't mind that it was necessary for a show to get read that way.
/- After all, good/bad karma begets the one who deserves to have it more. The message was clear in the ending of the show.

Edge of your seat suspensefull

This is a 2020 romantic crime drama with 32, 30 minute, episodes.

Tae-Pyeong (Ok Taec-yeon) has an ability he never asked for and does not like. He is able to see the events and people that exist in the moments leading up to a person’s death. Tae-Pyeong, allows few to get close to him and lives in a mansion with his mentor/Teacher/ surrogate father, Baek (Jung Dong-hwan) and Attorney Lee Yeon-Hwa (Ryu Hye-rin). Tae-Pyeong keeps to himself as he has found that he is unable to help change any of the fates he sees. When a serial killer known as the Midnight Killer abducts a girl Tae-Pyeong had just seen, he finds himself pulled into a very convuluted crime. While Tae-Pyeong helps the police with the investigation, he is stunned when he meets Detective Joon-Young (Lee Yeon-hee). She is the first person that he can't foresee their death. It is comforting to look at someone and see normal things rather than a disturbing prophetic vision. Tae-Pyeong and Detective Joon-Young frantically work together to figure out how the past has influenced the present in order to stop a serial killer dubbed the Midnight Killer.

This was edge of your seat suspenseful the whole way through. spoiler alert ** his ability to see the moments before death was very useful to the police, once they believed him. There was a lot around the topic of nature versus nurture in regards to the serial killer. Therewas an attempt to shed the serial killer in a sympathetic light but he was completely remorseless and blamed others for his actions the full way. The story was interesting and compelling and there was depth to all the relationships. Thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend.
