Rugal was my first ever Korean drama, as I was scrolling through a site I was able to find it and watch it just as the first episode came out. As a huge fan of action, the plot looked very promising to me, like the first few episodes. I was over the moon because I was finally able to find a show with everything I liked. Or, was I?

Like I mentioned the plot is very promising but it gets tiring and difficult to follow after a while.

1) There was a lot of action. Maybe a little too much. It feels like the writers focused on the action instead of developing the plot nicely. So it became hard to follow, a lot of gaps I couldn't feel because the balance between the action and the development of the plot was lost. The show was fully relying on the fight scenes and, without them, it wouldn't work at all.

2) The characters, none of them really stood out for the sake of making the lead character the hero. Though he was the last one to join the team it felt like he was the most "important" member, soon, everything became about him, the whole plot revolved around him and the characters didn't have time to be developed properly. We have the hero, the tough guy, the tough chick, and the silly guy. It felt cliche and it was written in a way that made me feel like it was a fanfiction.

Overall I wouldn't really recommend it. It was hard for me to finish, I only watched the entire thing for the sake of emptying my to-watch list. If that's your cup of tea then sure, go for it but it was over-all a mediocre drama.
