New Secret Royal Inspector (2020)

PLOT: Ada banyak komentar yang mengatakan bahwa drama ini membosankan atau lumpuh. Tapi tidak. Ini lucu, dan mondar-mandir cepat. Seperti yang dikatakan atau disebutkan sebelumnya, plot drama tidak akan lebih fokus pada penyelesaian korupsi tetapi akan berkisar pada kehidupan Sung Yi-Gyeom sebagai Agen Rahasia Kerajaan (dan romansa mungkin). Drama ini unik, menyegarkan dan bukan drama sageuk khas Anda yang memiliki Pangeran atau Raja sebagai pemeran utama. Semakin seru seiring berjalannya cerita.

ROMANCE: Tidak ada tag Romance sebelum promosi drama ini. Bagi yang terus bertanya apakah akan ada romansa atau tidak, episode pertama akan memberi Anda petunjuk (jadi lebih baik tonton saja).

AKTING: Meskipun saya masih memiliki hang-over dengan karakter Kim Myungsoo sebagai KIM DAN, saya mencintai karakternya sekarang sebagai Sung Yi-gyeom. Dia menyampaikan karakter dengan baik. Ekspresi wajahnya seperti emoji. Kwon Nara di sisi lain juga melakukan pekerjaan yang baik sebagai Hong Dain. Meskipun saya katakan, di adegan terakhir episode 4, itu agak canggung. Lee Yi-Kyung, seperti biasa… dia membuatku tertawa di setiap adegan yang dia punya.

OST: Sejauh ini, kami hanya memiliki 1 OST untuk 5 episode. Mereka belum merilis versi lengkapnya tetapi OST N.Flying I'll Find You sangat mengecewakan. KBS tolong segera dirilis.
Nah, bagi yang masih ragu untuk menonton atau tidak, cobalah. Ini drama yang cukup bagus. Lihat diri mu sendiri. Kami punya selera sendiri, lho.

If you have standards, this is not for you

This drama makes a lot of cop outs during its 16 episodes to make the story work and even tries hard to drag it.

Igyeom is first set up as a fool who does stupid things like shouting in broad daylight at a tavern that he's a *Secret* Royal Inspector. Then gets transformed into a cool guy with amazing martial arts skills and a good mind for handling the investigations. Then does stupid things unlike his character to get in bad situations which creates artificial suspense (well only if you don't care for writing quality and do not notice where it faulters), or at times he forgets how good he is with martial arts and suddenly he's unable to defend himself(picture a dude with arms tied up playing around with 4 armed guards just with his legs free and then on another occasion he's not able to do anything with both hands and arms free and 4 unarmed guards with similar level of skill as the previous ones). And then he's back to being smart and seeing ahead.

Same thing happens with the other characters too in many situations. Don't even get me started on Nara's character.

Let me make an example. Like towards the end, ML goes to a slave market. Does not get any station guards with him to shut it down. Usually they only get the guards after they have some kind of evidence for it, which they find after investigating and infiltrating a place. This time though, the slave market itself is illegal by default. It is not a sanctioned gov prison, therefore so long as there's people inside cages, it's illegal. He then almost got captured because he trusted a corrupt official not to talk about his objectives to their corrupt governor who went personally to the slave market to capture him. Both slave trader and governor called him a royal secret agent to his face when trying to capture him so they made it known they knew his identity. ML escapes. He then waits for a full day before summoning guards to capture everyone, while bickering with his team about sending a woman back to Hanyang for her own good. Obviously the governor did everything anyone with an ounce of intelligence would and got both the slave the ML actually tried to save (a past lover) from the slave market as leverage and showed up on ML's way to the station guards and captured them. At that point there's a scene where the ML is super surprised after announcing his identity as the Royal Secret Inspector, that they already knew it, as if they didn't call him that in the past capture attempt at the slave market. And remember ML is supposed to be the intelligent secret spy. No consistency whatsoever. Had the ML been consistent he'd have gotten guards to shut the slave market down right then and there and would have proceeded to capture the governor afterwards having the people as witnesses. But bad quality writing uses such cop outs where the viewer is expected to turn a blind eye to such things.

This alone should give you an idea of the level of quality.

Honestly I only watched this because Lee Yi Kyung is in it. And he was about the only good thing of the drama. His character is a classic servant who's simplistic although does some good things once in a while and delivers the comedic relief in the show. He was one of the most consistent characters in there. He's not an actual moron, just very simplistic and not educated or into politics to be clever. Even if you don't think that's an excuse, at least he has way more excuses than the ML who's gone through all sorts of inconsistencies throughout the story. It'd be one thing had he played the fool while being intelligent to make everyone underestimate him, but that wasn't it at all.

Muito bom

A cada episódio ficou melhor, sua combinação de comédia, mistério e aventura é incrível.

A Dain é maravilhosa, uma ótima espiã que sabe extrair bem as informações e até sabe um pouco de luta.

O Yi gyeom é um lutador perfeitooo, além de ser ótimo pra pensar rápido.

Já o Chunsam é o mais perdido da turma kkkkk não sabe lutar e nem pensar muito porém é útil em vários momentos, além de ser um personagem carismático e necessário.

A cada dois ou três episódios se concluía um caso e já vinha outro.

Foi um drama envolvente e bem trabalhado.


Não assista esperando foco em romance porque esse não é o ponto do drama.

I despise, with every atom in my being, the loathsome trope of interrupted intimacy upon any physical approximation in a semi-romantic setting—of which this drama kept repeating endlessly and shamelessly for 14+ episodes before committing to what it was trying to do. Cringey levels of cringe! Despite attempting to address important themes of justice and societal issues, the drama struggled to properly address these subjects and instead turned them into a background noise to service their jokes. Why bother then? While the cast may have been fine but their characters remained uninteresting throughout the drama. Basic characterization, none of them stood out.

Esse é sem dúvidas um dos melhores dramas históricos que eu já assisti. A mistura da comédia, com um pouco de investigação e um pouquinho de romance, junto com o fato de ser histórico trouxe algo que eu nunca tinha visto antes num drama.

Os personagens foram ótimos e a relação entre os três protagonistas foi engraçada demais, e emocionante também. Não posso negar que partes da história do irmão mais novo, Ibeom com a Sunae não me interessavam em nada, gostaria que tivessem explorado mais a história dos irmãos, o que infelizmente não ocorreu, mas nada que atrapalhasse a história no geral.

A Hong Dain foi uma das melhores personagens femininas que eu vi e a Nara soube bem como atuar ela dum jeito divertido. O Chunsan foi engraçado demais, eu dava altas risadas em quase toda cena que ele aparecia. O Igyeon foi um ótimo protagonista e foi bom ver o desenvolvimento dele ao longo dos episódios.

No geral, o drama teve algumas falhas por ser um pouco lerdo em alguns episódios, mas no geral soube bem como abordar tudo e no tempo certo, principalmente na segunda metade. Vale a pena assistir.

What should i say first? the fact that i watched this until episode 16 means i think its a good drama. but i have mix feelings about this.
Whats good about this? The casting!! Kim Myung Soo, Kwon Na Ra, Lee Yi Kyung , Lee Tae Hwan and most other actors in the drama are absolutely the best. i guess that is what makes me want to watch it until the end. and the other best thing is that the story is a new and a refreshing aspect in historical dramas. Not everyday u see dramas about secret royal agents.....
But the downside is that the story lack momentum, and the dialogues are poorly written. at several points i felt like the writer just copy pasted lines from various other historical dramas and decided to jumble them together. (i'm not telling that the writer did that) the dialogues are cliche and lack originality to a point where i was actually rolling my eyes at the absurdity.
and at times i felt the actors desperate effort to create chemistry among the characters but failing due to the poor written story structure.
but of course if u ignore all this, watching will be a fun ride and a definitely something new to watch. The dialogues maybe cliche but the plot is not. in fact the plot is super interesting.
and the OST!!!! loooved it !!!!

Delightful comedy with interesting characters

First of all for sure it’s entertaining
The acting is not bad
Nara and yi kyung shone through out the series…
ML is lacking in so many aspects, acting wise and character wise as well
Secondary characters are overlooked..not much importance given to any particular person
FL; very pretty and intellectual…I have seen justification in all of her actions. The only person who is clear pin mind, what she wants to do and what she has to do…not influenced by any factors…rare to see such a strong FL in dramas…
ML; strong and righteous…very good in calculating things…
character wise he is lacking a few aspects…needs to grow on learning what has to prioritized over other things…felt soooo bad for the FL, felt like it Was always her that put in efforts to take their relationship forward or in cherishing it…he didn’t even try…when she just walked away not one but twice…it was always her that came back…that is sooo bad from a person who claims he likes her and not even giving a rats a**when she walks away! Just try man try to get her back instead of just leaving not once but twice…if it’s me I would’ve just shrugged it off and told him to Foff… I know it’s not a romance oriented drama but just voicing out my opinion…I can’t bare when a character doesn’t cherish a relationship(any) as much as it has to be…
Servant; OMG very much needed for the series…the facial expressions are to the point…loved each and every scene of his…
SML and SFL; went wrong in sooo many different ways…come on even though they were not as the rumors say they somehow made it true at the end…which is sooo not ok…and I didn’t get the point of them becoming bandits…soo unnecessary…
Ahn nae sang; sooo cute…why!
Over all it’s an ok drama you can watch it once…

Something a little different, but not all that exciting

I liked the plot and how there were various cases the royal secret agent had to investigate. Also, Joseon dramas are always just so beautiful to look at with the locations and costumes. But as it's happened with pretty much every single Joseon drama I've ever watched, the whole thing was brought down by the villains. I always hate the villain's plots in these kinds of dramas, They're always predictable. For once I'd like to be surprised, for the villain not to be revealed until a breaking point in the story.

Also, the B-plot with the relationship between Yi Gyum's little brother and his ex girlfriend was so unnecessary. The actress they cast had one single facial expression and her delivery was so dry and unemotional. She was a pointless character that the story could have done without.

Other than that, the drama was fine. The three main characters had great chemistry and banter and I really liked Da In's character and story. Not much romance to this one, though.

Amazing!! Great story and the characters are well structured

This could enter the list of historical favorites after "The crowned Clown"
Secret Royal Inspector is a historical drama that lacks nothing. There is a good deal of mystery, action, love, comedy. All enriched by the originality of the characters and the skill of the actors who took part in it
Kim Hyung Soo is as amazing as ever. His main character, Sung Yi Gyum, is charming, brave and even funny along with Hong Da In and Park Chun Sam.
The whole acting is perfect. You will watch every single episode without getting bored
Excellent acting of Lee Tae Hwan as Sung Yi Gyum's brother, Sung Yi Beom.
We really enjoyed his participation in this drama. He is really talented. We also recommend What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, where his role was really interesting

Boring!

I really don't know why I kept watching it, until I realized I was wasting my time. Perhaps it'd be better if it had less episodes, let's say up to 6 or 8. There were episodes that kept repeating themselves that got me frustrated, so I decided to drop it.
I like the ML and FL as well as the other actors at support roles, it was obvious they were did their best to an absolutely weak scenario.
I found the robes of the actors too shabby.
I think I liked the legitimate son's acting, but then again, having him acting like that, to the end it seemed as if they (the jakkanim? the director? the actor himself?) came with that idea to spice up the story.
Sorry, I dropped it. I am sorry because I should have dropped it sooner. What a waste of my time!

The work is lacking in detail, even though there are 2 main characters who are good, but the inspiration for the story is very lacking. the author is confused because he has to insert a comedy scene too. I keep watching this drama just because of those 2 main roles i ha been waiting for.
