The Great Show (2019– ) User Reviews

I wanted more love lines

[lmerana · 6/10 · 6 November 2019]

The conflict was not that deep so there's not too much emotions invested. I wanted to have more romantic scenes to supplement the story. The female lead is good but I guess she doesn't do kissing scenes based from her past kdrama with Rain and Seo Inguk. I know she's a girlfriend of Lee Kwangsoo though the previous Kdrama they were not dating yet. Anyway, I hope The female and male lead choose a better genre for their next kdrama because they are good actors and they deserve a better project.

Good Enough

" The Great Show " was okay but just not original.

What was nice and entertaining about this show was the family. They created a nice family environment, with a nice web of human relationships. The character development was pretty good and well made as well, with the switch from career goals to family goals for the main character. The performances were really good too.

However, the story was predictable and so the twists were easy to guess. It was also a plot that has been made into a drama countless of times, just with a few other genres in the mix. The pace got slower towards the ending and so there were some boring scenes.

So, overall, five out of ten.

Watchable... kinda...

I liked the set up but there was a serious lack of affection for this "great family". The two younger kids were almost invisible and appeared for a total of 5 scenes. The 2nd sibling maybe had a couple of sentences in the whole thing. This leaves us with only the eldest daughter which was the main focus yet it failed to establish a real connection with her father. The daughter had a stronger connection with Soo Hyun than her father. Meanwhile, the politics were fluff politics at best. It's kinda watchable but leaves a lot to be desired. The cast was fine but also felt limited. Also, the pace was a bit slow.
