Saving a Life with a Show: Wanted

Who is currently watching this drama? Honestly when I first saw the preview, I wasn't really interested with it. But because I love dramas with detectives and criminals inside, I decided to give it a go. Said that I'd review it after it ends, guess I'll do while I'm on it (might edit it later).

Uh.. don't really like the poster tbh

Wanted is an on-going drama about a top actress, Jung Hyein (played by Kim Ahjoong) who lost her son. Well, you might find this similar with Gods Gift - 14 Days, although it has a little more complicated story.

PLOTS

I expected a better plot on this one but... oh oh. This drama is kind of a dramaception. To put it simple, Hyein got a mail asking her to film a reality show named 'Wanted' in order to save Hyunwoo. I first thought 'How are they going to go with this one...'- I mean a show within a show?  They need to film a 10-episodes-show with different missions each day to get Hyunwoo back. The missions are somehow related (or maybe not) and it's kinda unclear sometimes. Can you imagine about how are you going to finish a mission within few hours and the mission was like 'Reveal who killed Mr. X'? It was impossible to be done but drama is a drama. 

The first episode was so-so in my opinion. It was quite okay because it could make me go for the second one. Although the whole mission thing doesn't really make sense for me now, maybe it will be clear in the later episode (hope so). But anyway, the 7th episode got me tired... I'm bored already. The current kidnapper has been revealed- but I'm 100% sure there is someone else behind this. I'm just curious on how this would end. 

CASTS

As for the casts... I was a bit disappointed. Kim Ahjoong wasn't really able to deliver how desperate she was after her kid was being kidnapped. She showed us the character of a cold mother...? Maybe she was showing her depression in a different way- for example: she didn't care if the TV show would kill others as long as she could find Hyunwoo. The writers probably will explain the reason why (is she so cold) in the future (let's hope so because I freakin' need an explanation on everything! Gah). For the PD-nim... he doesn't really hold a big role, does he? He is third on the cast list but I feel like it's gonna okay if the show was going without him? And the old man seemed to have something hidden. This is what we need to find out. The detectives are doing well, not the best though. Especially to be compared with Gods Gift - 14 Days or Signal's casts. 

                                                What do you think about this? Doesn't she look like a news anchor?


OVERALLS

Just an 'okay' one. Not saying this should go on your 'must-watch-list' but you can give it a try when you're out of dramas. I recommend you to watch this first if you're going to watch Gods Gift - 14 Days later.
