A Stylish and Wild Ride Through the Late 80s
I keep my reviews concise and spoiler-free, focusing on the key points. I also watch every episode without fast-forwarding to provide a fair perspective.
This drama is a crazy and ridiculously fun experience, blending humor, action, and emotional depth with an unmistakable 1989 vibe. The first few episodes set the stage, introducing the characters and laying the groundwork for an engaging story that pulls you in immediately. While you can anticipate the challenges the main character will face, the execution keeps you hooked, evoking both fear and excitement as events unfold.
The performances are fantastic, even when deliberately over the top, fitting perfectly with the drama’s tone. The OST is exceptional, featuring nostalgic tracks that immerse you in the late '80s. The visuals and costumes are equally impressive, creating a refreshingly authentic retro atmosphere.
The characters provoke mixed emotions, adding complexity to the narrative. Some struggle with their identity, navigating the fine line between revenge, redemption, and deception. Others undergo drastic transformations, appearing kind and vulnerable at first but becoming more ruthless as their true nature resurfaces.
Midway through, the tone takes a dark and serious turn, diving into the internal conflicts of the characters and their descent into morally grey areas. This shift may polarize viewers but adds depth to the story. Thankfully, the drama later returns to its original lively tone, wrapping up with a balance of humor and action.
The fight scenes are well-executed and thrilling, though certain depictions of weapon-based fights might raise concerns. The cast of characters is colorful, with memorable identities, adding to the drama's quirky charm.
That said, the series isn’t without flaws. Certain key characters are underdeveloped, feeling shallow and lacking depth. Some transformations feel too abrupt or one-dimensional, while others are given limited screen time despite their potential to enrich the story.
Finally, while the drama delivers an important message about identity and power, it lacks the emotional weight of something like The Glory, leaning more on humor and entertainment. Still, the result is satisfying, capped off with a bonus post-credits scene for viewers who stick around.
Overall, it’s a highly entertaining drama with stylish visuals, a vibrant ‘80s setting, and a mix of humor and action that should keep you invested until the end.
