![]() This drama is heavy on action, good guys vs. In addition to Siwon, I really liked Lee Sung Jae as Kwon, Kim Jun Bae as Deuk Soo, and Han Jung Soo as Min Hyuk (Han also played the Death Angel in "The Moon That Embraces The Sun"). As others have noted, she made a few really bad decisions, that in a real life scenario, would have been untenable. There were some good fight scenes, and I liked that the lead female role could hold her own in a fight. (See also: "Gaksital" - 28 long episodes.) Honestly, most dramas could be told in 16 episodes or less. Really liked the story and the teamwork that was built as the group of six worked toward solving the mystery. Others have said the pace was slow, but I thought it moved pretty well. Rewatch Value 8.0 Boats! Helicopters! Kias! Double Agents! Buttkickery! And of course, Siwon. Then again, if you're a more forgiving person (especially when it comes to disappointing and annoying female leads), you'd probably quite like Poseidon! So watch it if you planned to.but don't be too surprised when it really sucks for a while at least once an episode. When that talent came out on occasion, it was really surprising and enjoyable to watch. Oh My Lady! wasn't so good.But I'm happy to say that after watching Poseidon, you can see he's got some real acting talent somewhere in him. And I'd only recommend it to die-hard K-Drama Action lovers (for the plot's uniqueness and for the quality of the villains) or for anyone who wants to really trace Choi Siwon's acting. During the sappy "love" scenes, his voice got me through it! :) Super Junior's Kyuhyun sings a great ballad. There were some very memorable songs in the show though. But it's K-Drama, so a certain amount of that is to be expected. A number of plot points and characters were never given the attention they deserved, or introduced just to be summarily forgotten about or never resolved in the end. Especially in the lagging middle of the show and the last 30 minutes of the finale. The timing and directing at times was unbearable. A lot of the older male actors were quite good, especially the villains. Recognizing the comic relief characters early on helped me to be less judgmental of their odd performances and to enjoy them for what they were. Most of the actors were pretty good actually. I do recommend the show to anyone who wants to watch Choi Siwon's development as a actor he was quite good in a number of scenes. On a few occasions the acting was quite superb. There are also a lot of deep emotions in the story, which are expressed well enough by the actors. In fact, there were some really nice twists at the end too. The story was very different from what I've seen in the past. She's the reason why I can't give a higher acting and overall score because that character just left a sour taste in my mouth after every single episode. I will avoid anything she does in the future because of this performance. Granted it was the script that did that, but Lee Siyoung comes off as a weak actress to me as well. But this character would NEVER EVER exist in a real criminal investigation. I enjoy the fantasy of dramas and can take a sufficient amount of ludicrous scripting knowing it's not real. But this character was so weak and just kept making absolutely idiotic decisions which could never have been made in a real life situation. I mean, usually in action dramas I've seen (like Iris.which might be why I was so dissatisfied) the female lead has some spunk and is actually intelligent. I remember stopping the media player on many occasions just completely overwhelmed with how annoying that character was. I don't think I've ever seen such a pathetic, stupid and aggravating female lead - especially in an action drama. Sometimes it was because things had just slowed down too much.īut mostly it was because of Lee Siyoung's character. But there were many times I had to stop and take a break. Rewatch Value 2.0 I would have loved to give this show a higher score, but there were just too many things that got on my nerves far too often! Choi Siwon is my favorite Korean celebrity, so he's the only reason I decided to watch the show. ![]()
