LUCA started off great, with an interesting premise, cool CGI, and some extremely well done action and chase scenes that kept me on the edge of my seat. The first 8 episodes were very good, I was completely immersed in the story and loved Zi-Oh and his journey.
It all went downhill SO fast, what happened to the writers? I can't believe how terrible the last 1/3 of the show was - it felt like a new writer or director came in, it was really that bad. All the characters suddenly completely changed and become illogical and annoying. Gu Reum was the worst of them; she went from a feisty, brave character who defended what was right and fell in love with Zi-Oh, and then suddenly turned on him? She decided to trust the people who framed her and destroyed her life over the man she loved and the father of her child? And after all that time of telling him he was not a monster she told him he was, which devastated him and changed his character.
The ending was so awful and open ended - was that the end of the world then? The beginning of a terrible dystopia? Who knows, and really I could not care less, I completely lost any investment or interest once they changed the characters in episode 9.
I will give this a 5 only because the first 8 episodes were so good, the soundtrack was interesting, and the acting was great despite poor writing. This could have been such a great sci-fi thriller, I am so disappointed!
