However, what makes the Korean remake of Money Heist so interesting is that it’s not just a simple adaptation. The original Money Heist was a Spanish show, and the Korean version has been completely rewritten by the producers in order to make it more relevant to Korean audiences. The World Of The Married is also a remake, but this time it’s an adaptation of a Japanese show. Unlike Money Heist, which was rewritten for Korea, The World Of The Married is based on an original Japanese story. Both adaptations have received mixed reviews from critics, but they’re likely to be popular with viewers who are looking for something new to watch. ..
Inspector Koo is an interesting but somewhat muddled proposition. This 12 episode k-drama is heavily inspired by Killing Eve, but it wraps up that cat and mouse chase with a more formulaic political conspiracy. The result is a medley of influences that fires on all cylinders as often as it falls flat.
Kyung-Yi is a young woman who is struggling to find her place in the world. She spends most of her time gaming and has little ambition or desire to improve herself. Kyung-Yi also has a dark history involving her enemy, K. Going by the name of Song Yi-Kyung, she is mentally unhinged and desperate for revenge. ..
The showrunners have tried to make this rivalry between the two women seem like a one-sided battle, but it’s really just a power struggle between two people who are trying to control the same thing. Yong Sook is a corrupt Director who is using his power to get what he wants, while Park Geun-hye is a powerful politician who is trying to protect her constituents. It’s not really a competition, and it’s not really about the women themselves.
Inspector Koo is often at a loss for how to portray the quirky absurdism of its characters, or whether to focus on the more political aspects of the story. Sometimes the balance works well, with the finale in particular tying everything together satisfactorily, while other times it falls flat. ..
The problem with the show is that it focuses too much on political scheming and not enough on the more intriguing plot between K and Kyung-Yi. That’s a real shame, because this is the glue that holds the show together.
The supporting characters are unremarkable, with one silent character called Santa teased for having a big history that doesn’t go anywhere. ..
The show’s visual style is unique and impressive, and it helps to give the show a sense of uniqueness that this reviewer wishes it incorporated more of. There are also some other visually appealing moments too.
The use of video game overlays in a barrel roll or first person shooter game creates an interesting and quirky tone, while the music chosen for the soundtrack compliments this perfectly. ..
Killing Eve is a show that borrows heavily from the popular BBC show, Killing Eve. While fans of the original show will find many similarities between the two, Killing Eve is not considered to be the best show out there. Fans of thrillers and cat and mouse games will find enough to keep them entertained, but may not be completely satisfied. That said, this series is enjoyable and does have some unique aspects to it. Inspector Koo fits this bill perfectly and makes for an interesting addition to the genre. Unfortunately, while it has potential, Killing Eve does not quite live up to its potential this year. ..
