426. Into the Ring 출사표 (2020) Korean

Nana, Park Sung Hoon, Ahn Nae Sang, Yoo Da In, Han Joon Woo

Drama Rating: 7/10     Neck Score: A

I had to watch this one because I needed to see my psychopath being a male lead. He did a good job. I loved his chemistry with Nana. They had the friends thing down so great, especially when they were like opposites attract and complement, but they also transitioned to lovers well. Yeah, this is a romantic comedy. It's a political one too. Warning to all who don't like that type of drama. This is a story about a girl who goes from being a chronic civic complainer (you know the type that notify city all about all the lights out in town and potential hazards, etc) to running for city council to make both money and a difference. It's about smaller town politics (it still happens in the Seoul Metropolis, I believe, but in a suburb district) and the pettiness of politicians. Seriously, they acted like they were all in some high school clicks.

340. Kill It 킬잇 (2019) Korean

Chang Ki Yong, Nana, Roh Jeong Eui,  Lee Jae Won, Jung Hae Kyun

Drama Rating: 6/10     Neck Score: A+

I wanted to like this drama way more than I did. It was just strangely boring for a 12 episode action drama. You know for a drama about an assassin, even called Kill It, there was less death than I thought, and the point seemed to be to NOT kill it. It was more of a melodrama than an action drama. And since both leads were chill, soft spoken characters, some of the scenes with them just sitting in silence, totally ok with that, made me fall asleep.

Also, it was short, only 12 episodes, but it still seemed to take everyone forever to figure things out. They just never seemed to put two and two together. She's a cop chasing the assassin, who is trying to hunt down his past. She figures out that is 88 way sooner than she figures out that he's the assassin. Somehow she was able to convince herself otherwise? And I knew what the bad guys were doing the whole time, why did it take them so long to figure it out? Because once they did it would turn into a rampage with lots of death like it did?
