Abyss (2019)
6/10
The main character is written as not only naive but dumb
22 April 2024
I love Korean shows and couldn't wait to watch this one. As mentioned in other reviews the characters have great chemistry and Park Bo-yeong nails her part splendidly.

The story is interesting, but could have been delivered in a different pace and setting to captivate the audience even more.

But the mail lead acts like a child. Not even in high school one could be that ignorant and dumb. I do not understand how the writers could think that a character like this would be realistic or appealing.

On one side the character is smart (due to his upringing and having a job as a capable director in a conglomerate company), but on the other side he often ignores facts and logical deduction.

His behavior gets a bit better after the 10th episode or so, but there are still moments, where the viewer can't believe that one could behave in such a ignorant and silly manner.

Ahn Hyo-seop's acting is good although I'm a bit distressed about the fact that he had to act as the character was written. I probably would not have taken this role after reading that script.

If you can deal with a male lead that acts like a 10 year old with no common sense, then this show will certainly be worth watching.

Star Trek: Voyager: Thirty Days (1998)
Season 5, Episode 9
7/10
Janeway's inconsistency drives me crazy
6 June 2019
In the beginning of the episode we witness Tom's demotion. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but suffice it to say, he did not violate the Prime Directive. If you really think about it, you will come to the same conclusion. It was merly bending the spirit of the law. Funny fact, the Prime Directive did not even apply in this situation.

Janeway's irrational and overly dramatic punishment for Tom is nothing more than another sign of her holier-than-thou mentality. Otherwise she would have had to demote Tuvok in the first season's episode "Prime Factors" and put him in the brig for longer than 30 days. However, she did not, which only proves my point.

Other than that I really enjoyed this episode, which develops Tom's character even further.
