Awaken the good plots!

I just watched 365: Repeat the Year and said it was great, and on its heels I found another good one! Awaken has awesome twists and turns in its plot, making it an extremely enjoyable watch.

It had its flaws, but it was near perfect. I didn't like the ending very much, but I can accept that they chose to end it that way.

This is one drama that I was extremely glad I did not look much at the cast of characters before watching; knowing which characters are "important" would have taken out some of the mystery.

So what is not that good about it? This of course will reveal some spoilers...

Two of the characters want to go to a remote island, and they had difficulty finding someone who was willing to take them there on a boat. After they get there, they get stranded because they stayed till dark and the boatman had left when they got back to the dock. And then the bad guys are there trying to kill them. Now it was not revealed whether the boatman was made to leave by the bad guys, but that is still fine...it's still plausible. But the problem is that, later another bad guy (a third party) also appears on the island, and then a good guy comes to save the first two. It was so difficult for the first two to reach, and now everyone reaches like it's easily accessible?

In another scene, there are some people with almost-supernatural powers, because they had been injected drugs as children. So one of these guys snaps the handcuffs on his wrist pretty effortlessly, after pretending for quite some time to be powerless. There's another (also supernatural) guy who has either handcuffs or some straps holding his wrists together (I think they were straps...like a belt, but I can't be sure), but somehow he doesn't do it immediately after the first guy; instead he waits quite a bit. What was he waiting for? *eye-roll* (okay...maybe he's not as powerful and needed time to gather his strength...anyway, it made me feel that there was something wrong with the picture)

By the way, the opening scene of the drama looked like something out of a horror movie...I almost thought that it wasn't going to be my type. But after that it quickly shifted to present day events and all the mystery got me hooked :D So I enjoyed it practically from the beginning.

And the supposed genius somehow didn't think of something and needed an old man (a pretty capable one, to be fair...) to come up with an idea. But the interaction was funny (supposed genius says "eh you're pretty smart!"), so I forgive them. :P

Another funny scene that I appreciated: capable old man is also a sniper, even though that was long ago, so he is a bit rusty. He is pulled in to snipe by the supposed genius (I kinda like that nickname, haha), and he shuts one eye, moves his eye to the gunsight, then says "Why can't I see anything? Oh." Then he shuts the other eye instead.
