A LOT BETTER THAN “MANNER OF DEATH”
Very interesting and intriguing story. Started really good, but middle part somehow dragged because of many repetitions. But it again picked up when the “burden of the loops” was transferred to TOL.
The FINALE was quite a disappointed as there are many laughable scenes at the first half. It picked up on the second half but then it came to a screeching halt. I guess we missed the old TIN at the last two episodes, and that very last scene didn’t give us enough of him.
Acting is generally good, esp TOL (actor: TEE) and KINTA (actor: MORRIS K.). On the other hand, TIN’s (actor: TAE) facial expressions, mouth movements and always raising of an eyebrow when reacting – are sometimes putting off. Supporting actors are good, except for GAP (actor: AOB) who has only one facial expression. that irritated look. Also mediocre (almost ham) acting are MAI (actress: AOM) and DOI (actor: BOAT). ART (actor: MILD) is given the usual, stereotypical role of the funny classmate; poor him, he never graduated from it.
Directing is okay, but there are many melodramatic and laughable moments (like TOL jumping like a kid after the saved a patient when he pretended to be doctor) and later kissing TIN right then and there at the E.R. – with face mask on!).
Story has loopholes but can be forgiven since this is a fantasy series anyway. It’s a lot better than MANNER OF DEATH (from same director/writer) which has lots of head scratching scenes. Only MAXTUL saved that one from being a forgettable mess.
