Review of All In

All In (2003)
7/10
Good, not great
27 July 2006
Having seen lots of K-Dramas, this one is bit slow-paced and the twenty-four episodes could easily have been told in eighteen. The story is what holds this together and I wish the characters were better developed (especially over the course of 24-plus hours) and the direction could've been swifter (there are lots of long (10 seconds-plus) shots of an actor just standing there, which makes the viewer press the 'scan forward' button). My biggest gripe with this SBS production is the English subtitles. I don't think anyone needs or expects them to be perfect, but these were so bad, to the point of being distracting and ruining the mood (on the other hand, most MBC dramas have great subtitles).
