It's well made. With good story line. Good acting.

Too many flashback .. and no cemistry between lead actor and actress.. so boring.

Creative story base. ALL actors WELL matched to their roles, creating a wonderful feeling of sympathy with their situations; excepting the murderer(s). I think most viewers can enjoy the story and its completion.

Before looking at my spot check ratings below - Ok Taec-yeon is an incredible actor. Always able to draw you into the story. I'm not sure why he isn't seen more in top roles. Am currently finding him beyond excellent in First Night With the Duke.

Creativity of screenplay 10/10 Storytelling 6/10 (at times very hard to follow and too many repeated scenes) Actors 10/10 Characters 9/10 Entertainment Value 7/10 Classification - accurate!

" The Game : Towards Zero " was a nice drama.

The first episodes were confusing, as the drama throws the viwer straight into the story without background information about the characters of the main lead's ability. Plus, you know straight away who the serial killer is. However, the drama weaved a nice, compelling story, full of thrilling moments, intensity and twists. The melodrama was good too. So, the story can keep the viewer on the edge of their chair till the very ending. The latter was pretty great and well presented. But the highlight of the drama was the creation of an intriguing villain. They gave him a strong background story, a human side when he was doubting his own actions and wanting to change, and a some interesting connections with the main characters. The romance, however, felt a bit fake. It was more like love in the first sight, as the drama focused more on the case than the couple, as it should really. The male lead's background story was not well presented and they didn't explain his background well. Still, the performances were great.

So, overall, 7 out of 10.

The first half is what the drama should've been and the second half is what the drama shouldn't have become. The start was decent enough with a compelling concept and characters, however, everything began to crumble down after the first half. The pace significantly slowed down, an overwhelming amount of repetition and flashbacks was shoved in, the mystery was over at that point, the cat and mouse chase became boring and there was a general decrease in the collective IQ of the masses. Nonetheless, the story itself was weak and didn't explore any interesting ideas. The whole thing was infested with plot holes even after excluding all the supernatural elements. The inclusion of romance was a hit or miss at times. I'm disappointed that Park Won Sang didn't have a bigger role in the drama.
