i’m having a hard time connecting to criminal minds in any emotional way..it’s missing something..don’t know what yet. i’ll watch the second episode to decide.

    I guess it’s because the 1st episode had such a fast pace…before the emotion of one scene sink there are too many other scenes… I watched it twice… it was really better in 2nd watch

    The directing and camera-work felt clunky, and the acting felt awkward at times. I’m having a hard time getting absorbed by the show.

      exactly! i wasnt going to comment on the acting because i thought maybe i’m just too tired and am missing something…but based on the actors the show has..i expected mind blowing, in depth acting but sadly…what i got felt a little bit bland. Am gonna watch the second episode to decide how i feel about the show.

        Moon Chae-won is especially disappointing (the perpetually dour, sort of half-angry expression doesn’t help), but Jun-ki and the profiler ahjusshi have their awkward moments too.

        I also dislike the way that shot the profilers’ exposition scenes. They look like a bunch of weather reporters.

        I also feel that some of the dialogue is supposed to carry weight that I don’t feel the show has earned yet. Like MCW’s “screaming” line when she tries to persuade the ahjusshi to get back to work. It’s supposed to be meaningful but it feels hollow.

          I agree with both of you. Episode one lack emotional depth, both in acting and directing category…the main things that I liked so far was LJG and MCW bickering relationship and ahjusshi and his wife lovely relationship
