What a group of incompetent special agents
Saw this on Netflix and I like the casts. Knowing it's an old show but with all the good reviews online decided to give it a shot. It definitely has one of the worst and cheesiest plot of all the Korean shows I have seen.
All agents in the show either from North or South are just all so incompetent. Within the operation the action is good, but how every operation is executed just make me cringe with people making horribly stupid decisions. Outside operations the agents are constantly strolling around randomly like nothing urgent is happening.
The romance plot is just cheesy to the max without much build up, and the constant flash back to the same moments when things were going OK get very annoying half way through the show, because they serisouly do the same flash back every episode just to remind the audience how much they were in love, while not much love was really felt from the dry romance plot.
There are also lot of plot holes, with agents randomly traveling to different places without any difficulty while they are on national wanted list.
The agents don't do much for their job, they are constantly eating, drinking, partying, traveling, walking around randomly, taking days off when depressed, considering about quitting before even the first mission, and constantly only thinking about their love interest instead of focusing on the job. The supposely CIA like NSS keeps lose track of their agents within operation or when they are on vacation. They can't even find target that are strolling around freely in the street, and keep felling for the dumbest trap. The amount of cringe worthy moment are just ridiculous.
Now just keep playing the show in the background while I do other stuff to see how it's going to end, and I can still follow the plot because there are just so many useless fillers.
