How the majority of MDL feels about Squid Game is how I feel about My Name
I loooove watching a mediocre drama where you'll know everything before the first episodes ends. By episode 1 you just know where the story is gonna go but it's also supposed to be an epic thriller action revenge story. I'M LIKE WHEEEEREE IS THE MYSTERY? And don't even get me started on all the plotholes (even my highway has less holes than this drama).
So much makes no sense, just no sense at all. Ahn Bo Hyun's character was initially very suspicious of Jiwoo. He was like wooaw she sus, I don't trust her and literally one second later he was threw everything out of the window. Pildo truly went like YEEEEET I trust her now because she got hurt. Somehow he magically didn't hear another character revealing her identity but he was like BIBBIDI BOBBIDO BOO u got hurt so now I trust you.
AND OMG I'M TURNING AGAINST NETFLIX MADE KDRAMAS (while I used to be a hoe for them). All because of once again a fucking useless stupid sex scene. Like this ain't it sis. Why is Netflix suddenly like let's make our kdramas more like western shows? But it even gets worse since the DUDE LITERALLY DIES A FEW MINUTES LATER. Why ... oh.... why...?? I literally fastforwarded when I was like they're about to do it. I normally don't care about movies or shows including sex scenes BUT IT MAKES ZEEEEERO SENSE HERE so I was like I'm not wasting my time on this shit. My friend told me that the creators decided to put this scene in it as a way to show Jiwoo's humanity. But there were literally a bazillion better ways to show that. Besides, they alreasy showed her humanity so much. Jiwoo is in a gang but has never killed someone until one dude from her past past, who she bested in a competition which troubled his fragile masculinity so he tried to rape her by drugging her, and she only shot him because he was about to expose her. The very same scene where Jiwoo killed the dude, did she became haunted by what she did. She literally was in shock about killing him. Furthermore, she also saved a girl from a drug overdose and protected her, only fought people and kicked the shit out of them if they started it or didn't let her peacefully pass, etcetera. She could have hurt so many innocent people but she never did. Besides, she was already determined to not kill her surrogate daddy before they (Pildo & Jiwoo) were like oeeehh lalala. So to me it was very unnecessary. I've also seen other action shit that was western and was like let's show a killer's humanity without having unnecessary sex scenes. Even a kdrama about a hitman showed that hitman's humanity without whipping any dicks out.
Besides, Pildo also died so fucking funny. I literally got tears in my eyes from laughing. He was like van I'll be by your side, which already had me like lol no you won't, and I KID YOU NOT ONE SECOND LATER AFTER HE SAID THAT A FUCKING MOTORCYCLE CAME UP TO THEIR CAR and just shot him in the head #HEADSHOT. I mean how predictable was this?
I also have to repeat how there was no mystery element in this show. If I already know where this shit is gonna go before the first episode ends, you have a serious issue with predictability.
However, in the beginning of the show I did like some things. I initially liked her beating up all the guys and winning against every odds (I mean unrealistic but I still loved it. I mean John Wick is also a tad bit unrealistic, but I still love that and she is basically sort of a female John Wick) but even the amazing fighting choreography got boring after a while since that was basically the only good thing that was left. It couldn't save the show.
Also, the most badass bitch crime lord is like YOOOOOHOOO I'M HERE YOU CAN KILL ME! He literally made it so easy for her to kill him and we're supposed to believe he is an epic ruthless crime lord that has been able to escape the law for 16+ years. But he is literally brought down by a 23 or 24 year old girl who was on his side for the first five episodes or so. I understand somewhere deep deeeep deep down that Pildo's death caused her fit of rageeeee. What I do not understand (not even deep down) is that she literally walked into surrogate daddy's crime den a few minutes after Pildo's death WITH ZERO PREPARATION. She was all by herself and just fucking slaughtered everyone the came in her path -__- Jiwoo also has a lot of wounds that haven't really healed but none of these wounds were a hindrance to her beating the shit out of everyone.
I'm still not over how easy surrogate dad made it for Jiwoo to kill him. The crime edge lord wasn't even trying to make her his successor or like him. He was just like ..... I have a death wish without really having a death wish but I still make everything super easy for her and the worst thing is.... that the crime lord was literally the second person she killed.
I'm still mad about the sex scene man. Like Nevertheless didn't do the deed like Squid Game or My Name. In Nevertheless it was like very much a sex scene that could have been in riverdale or shit. To me it just screams Netflix' influence on my name.
Also, Han Soo Hee is good at action scenes & one emotional scene when she finally found out the obvious was really good. But girl literally burns her gang tattoo of and literally was like dead inside WHICH IS FUCKING UNREALISTIC! There was no indication of pain (as in tears in her eyes, wiggling or any facial indication, or pain sounds) just an empty look. I mean only if you have that rare disease of feeling no pain would you be able to do it because even though you're numb because of emotions IF I FUCKING STAB MYSELF IT STILL HURTS AND BURNING IS EVEN WORSE. Even more unrealistic is how the wound also didn't get infected or gave her a fever (veeeeery like truly a representation of real life). I dunno if that's bad acting or bad direction but me don't likey.
However, a plus was like the father-daughter relationship she had with her dad's killer until he was like I don't want her to kill me (I'm a ruthless man, I killed my best brother, hurt other people like I'm smoking my cigarette #veryunbothered) but I will make it very easy for her to kill me. He did not even feel remorse for killing her dad or lying to her about him being the killer. He even whined about how unfair it was that everybody he cared about betrayed him wheeeeheeeee sad face sad face. EVEN SOMEONE ELSE ON HIS TEAM WAS LIKE DAFUQ BITCH. She was like you're letting her go so that she can come to you but you're not really gonna do anything to stop her but you don't want to die either?????????? Besides, his right hand man literally wanted her dead from the moment she joined the gang because he knew the truth and was like this can only end in disaster. So yeah surrogate daddy's character makes no sense at all. He's really wishy washy. At one time he even wanted her to go into hiding but later on he's like I'm not gonna let her kill me BUT YOU GUYS CAN'T KILL HER EITHER. He also got her out of jail. I'm just confused and mad. SK has better stuff to offer than this. There are so many better revenge stories out there.
Also, Ahn Bo Hyun really needs to pick different projects. He never ends up happy. In Itaewon Class his character was just miserable, in her private live he was the second male lead and didn't end up with the girl, and if Yumi's Cells ends like the webtoon he'll be alone once again, and here he died. Dude needs some chill (or his characters at least do).
Go watch strangers from hell or something else because my name ain't worthy of any trophy.
