Wow. This show was amazing, it's right up my alley for a shows I'd like to watch in the future. Firstoff when I read the synopsis about a killer turned vet and a detective who is trying to capture a serial killer to where their relationship builds from having known eachother in the past and then meeting again, I was very intriqued to watch it and my god am I glad I watched it. I've put this drama off for about 2-3 weeks now and I thought I would watch it.With the male lead Soo Hyun I loved his character, the actor Jang Ki Yong who played did an amazing job doing the role. Jang Ki Yong is probably one of the actors to depict characters who have a dark side to them, his facial expressions work magic on the on screen and his psycotic smile he gives off makes him perfect for these kind of roles. Soo Hyun's character was quite pitiful in this show though, he was only born to donate his bone marrow and didn't even get named and got thrown away to some russian killer to be taken care of. To be honest, killing people is always bad but I couldn't help but support him throughout the show and be exited to see what he's going to do next. His relationship with Seul Gi is quite ill fated in the fact that Pavel killed her grandfather and then Soo Hyun ends up looking after her in which she realises who he is and forgives him because she knows he's a good person at heart. I can understand why he only confided in animals and that was because they can't really betray you and hurt you compared to humans who follow human nature. His whole goal to finding out his past and then saving the children was quite pitiful to watch at times because he couldv'e just lived a normal life but they mattered more to him than anything else untill he got attached to Hyun Jin and Seul Gi.
Hyun Jin's character was also a pretty good character. She didn't really do much for me compared to Soo Hyun but I liked how she wished it wasn't Soo Hyun who was the serial killer because she had hope that he was the same kid who she knew as a child. Her relationship with Soo Hyun was ill fated because she was the person trying to capture the serial killer and it just turned out to be Soo Hyun, I did like thier interactions but I'm glad there was no romantic actions involved because it would of been a lot more messier than it allready was for them. I could tell that they both had some sort of feelings for eachother due to thier actions throughout the show.
The OST was standard but what stood out was the instrumentals that added a felling of tension and axienty to some scenes. Out of all the shows I've watched this show might be out 3 shows in which gave me a churning feeling in my stomach and a fast heartbeat and I don't know fully why but some of teh reason would go the atmosphere that this show created.
If your looking for an action, thriller show that has an emphasis on the relationship on 2 sides of the same coin, Soo Hyun on one and Hyun Jin on the other and how see how thier story pits them against eachother pyschologically even though they like eachother I highly reccomend this show.
I will most definetly rewatch this show one day as it's a short show in which was a great watch and I loved the main leads especially Jang Ki Yong and NaNa.

I saw a short clip of it on Instagram and totally fell in love with the 30-second review, Soohyun's ( Jang Ki Yong) character is so thrilling his skills and ideas are so unexpected. Since I only watched the episodes that have came out so far ep 4 left me on a hoooookkk, Hyunjin ( Nana) is such a good detective and I love how she cares about others but her mother has high expectations like wanting her to be a specific weight or making sure she is home at this time. But this drama is going to be so successful its super interesting . Was this review helpful to you?

Story seems interesting but you"ll have to put with it
I have watched this title cause i love Jang Ki-Yong and based on excellent reviews. Well, let's say i don't share popular opinionEpisode 1 - Already some incoherences & ridicule scenes
The ML character is cold, charismatic, mysterious and straight forward.
The FL is as often the caricature of the rude, reckless woman. The 1st introduction between ML & FL is beyond ridiculous. Not the set up itself, but the FL actions ... WTH was that scene ? How the scenarist wants to show she is compassionate and loves animals as ML, when she plays darts on a baby deer? That scene wanted me to drop the drama already.
I am at episode 2, and the FL is moving in same building than ML & second FL .... what a coincidence :/
I will continue 1 or 2 episodes and will edit my review if my opinion changes.....

The story was dark from the beginning and I am not one to watch dramas if they are dark, so for me, it would never work unless the plot is simply AMAZING (like the drama, Tunnel - I just couldn't put it down, no matter how dark and horrific the events were). Anyways, for me personally, the drama was not intriguing nor enjoyable enough for me to keep watching, and then with the way the ending turns out, I just couldn't justify continuing to watch it. In my opinion, this is not a drama meant for everybody.

Histoire sombre, mais belle, tragique et belle... Belle !
Alors, c’est OCN, alors c’est noir, très noir ! et glauque, très glauque ! Il y est question d’enfants qui n’ont même pas de nom, mais des numéros, dont personne ne sait trop ce qu’ils sont devenus. Ce mystère s’éclaircira au fur et à mesure et c’est encore pire que ce qu’on aurait pu supposer…Donc, âmes sensibles, attention !!
Il faut bien admettre que dès le début la fin s’impose à l’esprit, et on sait qu’elle sera forcément tragique !! Tout maintenant va dépendre de la façon de raconter l’histoire et de nous conduire vers ce dénouement prévisible et redouté…
Eh bien le pari est réussi on se laisse embarquer dans cette histoire très sombre, retenus par des personnages attachants que leur part obscure rend plus fascinants, surtout, naturellement Kim So Hyun, parfaitement interprété par Jang Ki Yong.
Une parenthèse : j’aimerais que cet acteur montre d’autres facettes de son talent, on le consacre un peu trop aux personnages au passé douloureux (come and hug me) ou à la vie marginale et même criminelle (My Mister, ou Kill it !) C’est vrai qu’il a une voix particulière, grave et un peu sourde qui convient très bien à ces rôles, mais dans My Mister il a montré qu’il pouvait vraiment nuancer le personnage ! Cette parenthèse refermée, revenons au drama !
C’est OCN, on reconnaît le style bien particulier des éclairages verdâtres tachés de rouge dans les scènes dramatiques, avec une musique entêtante créant une ambiance bien glauque, mais c’est la patte de cette production. Ici, ça marche plutôt bien ! L’originalité, c’est que le héros, tueur à gage, n’est pas le vrai méchant de l’histoire, mais que par contre il y en a bien un, parfaitement répugnent et haïssable à souhait !
Donc, si tout ça ne vous effraie pas, et si, comme moi, vous aimez la « sombritude »…et Jang Ki Yong allez-y, c’est un très bon drama, mais il faut affronter la fin ! Mais elle ne peut pas être différente !

La protagonista femminile è l'opposto. Lei si emoziona per due. Ma mi è piaciuta. Ho apprezzato anche gli altri due ragazzi che ruotano attorno al protagonista, molto belli.
La storia strizza un occhio a Kazuo Ishiguro, ad un suo libro in particolare. Ci starebbe anche perché tratta una tematica forte, quasi mai affrontata. Però lo svolgimento.. Beh, poteva essere migliore.
Inoltre nell'aria per TUTTO il drama si respira l'amore ma ehi, no spoiler xD
Il finale... Non mi è piaciuto, l'ho trovato affrettato e ingiusto.

Impossível não ser uma obra de arte... assassinos ainda poderem ser herois.
É uma das melhores séries que eu já vi e ainda mais tem um final surpreendente. Muito o iram detestar, mas simplesmente amei e sinceramente eu entendi o final desta série.Depois de ver a série eu queria ver mais séries deste ator Jang Ki Yong, ele simplesmente foi fenomenal na interpretação Kim Soo Hyun. Uma personagem com pouco carisma, maioria das vezes é uma pessoa série e objetiva. Além disso ele é muito bom nas lutas, corpo a corpo, está altamente bem treinado para matar, quem estiver na mira. Não importa quem, ele terá que concluir o seu objetivo. Apesar de aparentar ser frio, ele demonstra ter um coração quente e terno, mesmo que isso só acontece duas ou três vezes.
Eu sinceramente amei a atuação de todos os atores, mesmo daquela menina chata. A história segue um enredo sem falhas aparentemente para mim. Ele a todo o custo tenta descobrir a sua origem e quanto mais investiga, mais escuro e obscuras são as descobertas.
Philip foi um péssimo amigo para o Soo Hyun, mas mesmo assim eu não podia deixar de gargalhar com as suas piadas ou com as suas encrencas. Sinceramente foi muito bom vê-lo pela diversão, mas eu não pude deixar de chorar ao vê-lo morrer ( eu achei a cena ridículo, porque ele expeliu demasiado sangue, mas enfim). Mas mesmo assim eu afirmou o quanto gosta e do Soo Hyun, apesar dele ser assim frio e calculista, ele ainda tinha um amigo.
Mas a sua vira não dura muito já que morre assim que mata "o seu pai, que não é bem pai, mas é pai". Eu entendo a sua morte, já que ele matou e também porque ele foi feito de forma artificial, por causa de um esquema um pouco questionável. Porque eu não sei muito bem porque as crianças artificiais são mortas para os seus órgão serem dados a velhos. São órgãos que estão em desenvolvimento e numa fase de crescimento, como isso pode dar certo num corpo velho e maduro demais? E não existe rejeição de órgãos ou complicações, penso que a série poderia ser mais realista nesse ponto. Mas pronto o que eu afirmo pode ser irrelevante, eu compreendo.
Considerações finais
Mas mesmo com esse pensamento não posso deixar de dar um dez á série, que eu amo demais, mesmo com morte do prota. E sobre o romance inexistente, ainda bem que é assim, porque seria só uma pedra no sapato. Mesmo se não gostar do final, simplesmente pense que aquilo foi só um pesadelo. Eu recomendo demais a série, pela atuação, pelas osts maravilhosas, que quando posso eu ouço sem parar. Recomendo para aqueles que querem chorar um pouco.

Fiquei muito surpresa e satisfeita com a atuação da Nana. A história só não tem um final perfeito porque todo mundo quer um romance e um happy ending. Tudo foi bem fechado no drama, tudo perfeitamente explicado. As cenas de ação foram maravilhosas. O Número 88 estava perfeito. Ele conquista qualquer um com o jeito dele, mas tenho um fraco por caras misteriosos. Ele morrer no final era previsível, se não fosse assim teria sido puro fan service. Mas que eu chorei, chorei horrores. Aliás, a Nana chorando foi de matar e ele segurando a mão dela, cara, muito triste. Mas vida que segue. Gostei muito do drama. Was this review helpful to you?
