Three Days

Of all the Korean shows I've seen so far, Three Days is the most similar to the American ones. There are so many mistakes that the viewer has to overlook and so much nonsense that I had to laugh at times. Most of the actors didn't do a bad job, but by having to dramatize some scenes so the viewer could understand enough how serious the situation is and give a "ha", the quality of the acting dropped quite a bit. I especially liked the president, the bad guy, and the policewoman. Micky's got it covered with me, but I still prefer him in the more cheerful roles. If you try to think logically about the script, it'll probably drive you to tears. On the other hand, I wasn't bored the whole time, even when politics were involved. No, it's definitely not IRIS, but it was good for one viewing and I enjoyed it despite all the flaws and mistakes. I give one star for Micky, another for the amazing music, which really did a lot in this case, and a third for the president. At first I saw it getting a higher rating, but that enthusiasm sort of faded over time. 3.5 stars. (09/09/2014)
