Ep 4 resolves the son cliffhanger from Ep3, but I figured it would go that way. Korea continues to get a good spotlight - such architecture - urban squalor with modern skyscrapers and soaring overpasses. Daniel continues to rise to the occasion, but I'm more taken by Reina & Piper.
The firefights show that they definitely ran the actors through some tactical courses. And again, the fisticuffs are about kicking that gun away until the hero grabs it and shoots the opponent.
I'm a little put out that this is getting such AAPI love and Ballard didn't. Ballard had a lot of women's issues and perhaps that muddled the Asian vibe, plus it was set in LA where this is all Korea (as if we didn't get enough Korea already with all the K-dramas & K-pop).
I'll probably finish it tonight.
Daniel is proficient in TKD. Piper was in Covert Affairs where she trained Wing Chun extensively for the role (but she has yet to deliver a fight scene in this).
