Overall Thoughts On L.U.C.A. The Beginning Korean Drama

L.U.C.A.: The Beginning Korean Drama is full of action and thriller scenes. I’m really enjoying this Korean drama. I think the speed of drama is very slow because all of them are just chasing each other. Those who have watched Awaken Korean drama may have this drama a little bit similar because of the involvement of human experiments and supernatural power. L.U.C.A.: The Beginning Korean Drama has a mixed feeling in the starting it was good but after a few episodes, it feels a little boring because as a viewer you can easily guess the plot. Many of you will also not like the ending of the drama. There is no character development in this drama, instead, as the drama progress, the characters get more stupid. Their decision is also bizarre. I personally have very high expectations from this drama but it is not up to the mark. You can also watch L.U.C.A.: The Beginning Korean Drama in Viki. Lee Son’s character is also annoying he was just behind the hand of Ji Oh. He had nothing to do with anything but only need Ji Oh’s hand.
