The Game: Towards Zero (2020)

La serie empieza muy bien y durante los primeros cuatro capítulos te mantiene en vilo completamente, pero el problema es que luego hasta el final va flojeando.
Hay demasiados flashbacks y la historia se alarga demasiado en el tiempo. Tal vez si hubiese sido una serie de 12 en vez de 16 capítulos le hubiesen podido sacar un mayor provecho, porque en esa búsqueda de la historia se cometen algunos errores obvios.
Merece la pena verla porque además de entretenida, el final no decepciona, pero no sería una serie que repetiría.

Eso sí, las actuaciones de Lim Ju-hwan y de Ok Taec-yeon son fantásticas, transmiten muchísimo y llegas a empatizar con ambos

To summarize, it was a drama I was glad I watched. It went uphills and downhills like most dramas do but remained true to its plot and characters. When we choose any drama to watch, we look for good chemistry, a nice plot, and some heart-touching moments. This drama passes on all the parts. What I liked about the drama was the ending which is generally hard to be perfected but this one has one of the most satisfying endings in my watchlist dramas.
It started with very strong plot possibilities and excitement, which made me wonder what would be the best possible route
I would like the plot to take. But after a few episodes drama works its magic and you fall into its flow of tone and instead of imagining all the scenarios, you just look forward to the drama.
The acting was the stronger aspect to look for in the drama as Im Joo Hwan totally nailed it. There were times I was frustrated by his character's decisions to continue the revenge and all but well his character is a killer and t would be strange if I understood all his decisions :)) . Even until the ending his character was well expressed.
What catches you most is the editing and drama style with great use of slow-motion and subtle scenes with equally good music in the background. The drama followed this way throughout the episodes and it engages you in the story more emotionally.
As all dramas have some backfall it does have its own. Well, the scriptwriting was done good but I was tired of hearing the same sentences again and again. It would have been great if they had been a little more creative while delivering the same dialogues.
As a drama junkie, I felt the chemistry between leads developed a bit faster than in other dramas. but they wrapped around it well enough because of the continuous plot which slowed down and picked speed but never stopped for fillers.
This drama was satisfying in many ways and made me look forward to the next episode every time. With a well-written ending and the last couple of episodes, it wraps up with a smile on your face and contentment filling your heart.
