Premiere Watch: No Way Out – The Roulette

by missvictrix

Time slot: Wednesdays
Genre: Crime, action, thriller, noir
Episode count: 8
Global streamer: LG U+ Mobile TV, Disney+

Reasons to watch: What a cast! Jo Jin-woong and Yoo Jae-myung lead the way and are joined by Kim Mu-yeol, Yeom Jung-ah, Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Sung-cheol, Greg Hsu (inconspicuously missing from the press con lol), and more. In the crime thriller, a public bounty is set on the head of a heinous criminal recently released from prison, and law enforcement has to protect him. While it’s a tad predictable that Yoo Jae-myung is playing Heinous Criminal and Jo Jin-woong is Harried Cop, who can complain? The rest of the characters come together around the pair, and it’s sure to be an intense ride.

This drama also marks a (hopefully) good sign for LG U+ Mobile TV productions, which have struggled thus far to get much viewership outside of Korea, so the partnership with Disney+ here makes much sense.

TL;DR: Ensemble cast. Intense thriller. Buckle up.

Hilarious with the cardboard cutout. I want to see how this stacks with the ridiculousness that is Red Swan.

Wow is this gonna be the first drama I watch since I dropped Ms Night & Day (put on hold; I haven't decided yet)?! Will this finally give me something to be into?!
