Baegabondeu (2019)
Not very believable in all aspects
Story, male lead, female lead ... all rather not believable.
The female lead's character is a an agent for the the intelligence service. Her acting is more of a confused teenager.
The male lead's character is a stuntman, not some invincible hulk as he's portrayed. Even a stuntmen cannot just jump down 20ft onto the hood of a car, and just walk away with a scratch on their forehead.
The story is also not very realistic. The conspiracies' around MH370 are better. I give this show credit for showing some scenes from Morocco.
I honestly expected more from a show that has a 8+ rating, but this one fell far short from it.
60 Il, Jijeongsaengjonja (2019)
actually not as good as the American version
Disclaimer: I am American but 99% of what I watch is foreign.
I have watched many Korean TV shows and movies over the years, and they're one of my favorite foreign entertainment, and I did watch the American version of Designated Survivor few years ago. I don't recall specific content anymore, so I cannot compare that to the Korean version.
What I can compare, is that in the Korean version, there's not a single actor that acted naturally. All of them appeared stiff, wooden, without charisma. Maybe one exception is Mr. Cha's character. I also did not see any real character development.
The other complaint is that these 16 episodes could have easily been done in half the time. There were too many flashbacks, and unnecessary long pauses (why does it take a minute and 7 camera angles to wait for the acting prez to answer a reporter's question ?). No, it's not helping to build suspense. Thanks for a 10-second forward button.
The end was anti-climatic and irrelevant in my opinion. This Korean show was definitely one of the worst I've ever seen.
