I’m rather sad that the Reid character in the korean version is less badass/know-it-all than the original. He is my absolute favorite character. And this scene is a good example of why. #CriminalMinds
I had a hard time separating the original characters from the Korean counterparts. The korean version of Dr. Reid was the biggest disappointment. He didn’t have the same vibe or sorted of social awkwardness of the original. I wanted him to be the weird genius prodigy wunderkind always spouting random facts.
At some point the Reid-charcter suggested that the murderer suffered from split-personality disorder and then one of his team members immediatly contradicted him by mentioning that in none of their cases ever has a murderer suffered from that. I mean statistics are Reid’s thing and making a suggestion without factual backhground is also very un-Reid-like.
This character had the most potential but he fell flat for me, even if I didn’t compare him to the original.
I totally agree with you. I love Dr Reid Spencer but the K-drama version is a huge letdown. Hopefully he will grow into the character.
So is Jun Ki’s character modeled after Derek Morgan? Has to be right? I hope he has the same kind of banter with the K-drama version of Penelope Garcia, but a milder version obviously since it is Korea after all and some of their exchanges were a tad risqué for work haha 😜

I very much feel the same way.

Too true, he was the only character that didn’t make an impression. I do really like the Garcia character, what little we got of her.

Not sure. He could be an amalgamation of some of the characters. It’s kinda hard to say at this point.
