Review of Numbers

Numbers (2023– )
4/10
Boring and hard to follow
12 January 2024
Despite the attractive and charismatic cast this series was doomed to fail to keep interest. It is impossible to make a series about accountants exciting. And they tried to create excitement with a loud soundtrack and ominous stares. Also they make it like accountants can make or break a company with ratings. Highly unlikely. I found it hard to follow all the talk about the different businesses. Too difficult to remember the names of the companies and the people. The technical jargon is tiresome. And all these words flash by so fast in the subtitles. So hard to keep up.

The plot has the usual suspects evil CEOs battling do good types. Too predictable and clichéd.

The cast is great and all snappily dressed. Kim Myung Soo / L looks just too cute boy band type to be an accountant. Has anyone ever seen an accountant who looks like that? He is better of in romantic roles. Choi Jin Hyuk. He is a great actor but too big a presence for an accountant. The women cast are a bit glum looking. The villain with sunglasses is w ridiculous looking. Unlike old dramas of the past CJH's character doesn't have a problem going against his evil father. The whole of the last episode seemed unnecessary and tacked on.

Skip this one. It is a waste of the cast.
