I feel like there hasn’t been any buzz for Pied Piper but the first ep is pretty excellent so far. Exotic locales; great cinematography (the standard tvN vaseline lens is non-existent!); Shin Ha Kyun being delightfully charming and just, y’know, the brilliant actor that he is; Sung Dong Il being Sung Dong Il (aka awesome), and Jo Yoon Hee being kick-ass and I’m already in lub with her character. The foreign actors were actually pretty good, too. Yeah, okay, some awkward English, but apparently dramas can’t have a show without awkward English in them.
Someone said DF isn’t carrying this show, which is bizarre to me, because if you’re gonna have a monopoly on all the tvN shows, you gotta sub all the tvN shows. As much as I take issue with their subs, I still do respect their power in making shows accessible and viewable to a large demographic.
