This series has what seemed like a great SciFi premise. As the series info already tells you, it is a series involving time-travel. I don't understand why someone puts so much money into developing a series like this, and then totally destroys it with completely unrealistic activities.
Specifically, there are situations where trained teams of determined assassins are shooting at someone (one of the protagonists), at relatively close range, but none of them manage to land a single shot. And then moments later, the protagonist literally stands up and starts talking to them (the assassins), but instead of shooting, the assassins all just do nothing. In another scene, involving a different protagonist, there is a time-sensitive activity that he is desperately attempting to perform, but then, he sits there, seemingly frustrated, and does absolutely nothing, acting like a two-year old child. Somehow, I guess the writers imagine all of these moronic actions will endear us to these characters, instead of (as in my case) make me think that these characters must all have IQ's in the single digits, because nothing they are doing makes any sense whatsoever (assuming that they value their lives), and nothing that is happening around them is based on anything that is even remotely realistic.
Again, it is sad to go into to this thinking that this will (and should) be an interesting, and possibly thrilling series to watch, only to have "Keystone Cops" styled behaviors and situations, from the two main characters. Maybe this is a common Korean approach? I might believe that, except that the series "Black", even though it contains some fantasy-based aspects, clearly shows that this sort of unrealistic silliness is totally unnecessary (which is what makes it so great).
So, if you don't mind having to completely ignore laughably unrealistic situations, in order to get caught up in the rest of the story, then maybe you will enjoy this. But if those (wholly unbelievable) things drive you crazy, you should simply skip this.
