But once we start getting some answers, and the mystery of why Seo-hae came back and how Tae-sul can stop the apocalypse starts to become clearer, it will lose that one tense thread that’s keeping us hooked. Right now what is working well for the story is how little we know.

And so there goes any sense of dread or finality in the story. It is based on a major loophole that can be McGyvered by any genius CEO inventor to undo the death of important characters. I really hope she doesn’t turn into a damsel any more often than this episode made her be.

My one concern in this is that, in drama terms, Tae-sul’s growing competence might come at the expense of Seo-hae’s skillset.

Once that happened, he got a lot better at looking at their problems and suggesting solutions again.

So, eventually, Tae-sul figured out that he needed to believe what he was hearing and roll with the new rules of the world.

Or it was, until he spent three days being repeatedly kidnapped and escaping multiple armed encounters thanks to Seo-hae’s ability to think on her feet or punch someone in the face.

Ducking bullets and jumping off building is entirely outside his ways of thinking.

It was a mechanical problem which he could solve by executing a series of correctly timed actions. With the plummeting airplane, Tae-sul had some measure of control.Think about everything the man has shown competence in and then think about bullets flying at him while he calls after his dead brother on the stage. Unlike Saya, I totally bought Tae-sul’s evaporated wits in the face of guns.Pause your shooting, I have to explain to this woman how my physics will be kicking your ass in just a minute. Also, as an interesting bonus, if Tae-sul is the one aiming a flying bottle from behind a counter at oncoming gunmen, all three projectiles will hit their target at bullseye.He even gets time to explain what he’s doing and demonstrate his genius in detail. The time they give our heroes to recover their wits is also a lot more when Tae-sul is the one thinking of a solution.He made the bad guys extremely considerate in two very consistent ways: a) they never manage to hit their targets, and b) they always give our heroes long minutes after they’re cornered to let them think of a way out.

That’s out of my system, so let’s move on to other odd choices by PD- nim that were evident in this week’s episodes, especially episode 4.

I will never get over the director’s choice to have Seo-hae ask for Sun’s clothing right off his back, down to his jeans, with no attempt to even joke about how a cupboard full of other, cleaner clothes was just standing there behind the boy. Now, I’m joining this party late, so let me say just one thing about Episode 2. See, I can root for this cute ninja from the future, with her unapologetic love for the pretty, the fluffy, and the deadly. We’ve been watching Tae-sul in his element this entire time, whereas all we had of Seo-hae was her impressive fighting skills and ability to leave every question asked unanswered.įinally, she became a person to me in that CGI hellscape. These small touches of her personality are finally building up a frame for who she is. I needed those first ten minutes with Seo-hae this week, wandering the streets of her post apocalyptic world, scavenging coins from corpses and humming to BTS’s Spring Day, with her trusty pink machine gun and daisies sewn on to her backpack. A bright, new day for scavenging through a dead city with my accessorized AK-47 Badass Ninja Becomes a Real Girl
