Best bromance, worst everything else.

kiari7

If you want something entertaining and light and don't mind turning off your brain, this show may be for you.

  It has some very fun bromance going on between the two lead male actors.

/- The love story is incredibly rushed and alternates between being a funny parody of the spy x girl stereotype and being downright cringeworthy - due to the female lead having less experience at romance than a 6 yo and the guy stereotyping her as such.

-/  But what really takes the cake is the spy story. It is the single, worst spy story I've ever watched in my entire life. They don't manage one single, vaguely realistic or reasonable shot. It fails at plot, action, dialogue, everything. The super secret agent will talk to himself while in the middle of a high security event and no one will lift an eyebrow. A huge centuries old villa will somehow completely escape any attempt to be located. They have secret meetings in the middle of huge stadiums at night, almost never wear any sort of camouflage, shout in the middle of a secret auction that they've just bought the item. During the first 10 minutes of the show, the guy blows up a car to fake his death and then walks away, not even wearing a change of outfit or getting lost in a crowd, and the only reason he's not noticed is that the girl is apparently too heartbroken to raise her head from the ground. He also always wears black during black ops stunts, because you know, it doesn't make him look like a suspicious would-be murderer, at all. Honestly, it's SO ridiculously terrible, it crosses into somewhat funny. Some of the time.

score 5/10
