I agree with every positive review here. The action scenes are gripping and fun to watch but there is also a sense of brotherhood and found family watching these people bond together. Absolutely loved it.
However all of it changes after episode 6. A lot of the main cast are killed off or disappear to mourn and it feels like the feeling of the family being built up was all for nothing, and suddenly everything is unusually easy for the main guys and there is a bunch of comedy everywhere when the series before episode 7 was dark, gritty and serious. Throughout the show, a girl is introduced to the main duo of friends and they become a real team. Then when her grandpa dies instead of sticking with the team, she suddenly wants to go to Rome?? It felt very out of character for her and the very next episode (episode 7), they replace her with another girl that we do not know. She seemed normal enough until suddenly she is an archer who has no issues possibly killing people? The show does not even try to explain this. They replaced a lot of the main characters with cheap copies and continues the story, except the story also doesn't make sense. A plot point was they needed to find a way to contact a very powerful individual in Korea (chaebol) and they didn't do it before episode 7 because it was too hard yet in episode 7 they do it instantly by just messaging them on Instagram? And they instantly become best friends? And also they just instantly befriended a guy that was on the villain's side, a guy that they hated and had witnessed almost kill a homeless guy in the first episodes?? It felt like they got new writers or some actors had to leave and they were stuck with what to do with the last two episodes, which kind of killed the show for me. The quality of the writing dropped so steeply so quickly it felt off. Before the last two episodes the show was very serious, it had its moments here and there for sweet moments and laughs but the villains were real scary threats and the fights felt tense and powerful. Everything post episode 6 felt like a joke and it was all suddenly so easy and everything seemed to fall into place without the main guys even having to try.
My point is the show is amazing UNTIL the last two episodes. I wish I didnt watch them and just remembered this show for its first six amazing episodes. The reason why this is an 8/10 is those six episodes but it would have been a 10 if it wasnt for the last two. The last two by themselves are a 3/10 at best.
I do recommend watching this show but maybe stop watching after the 6th to keep up the great image of the show.
