quite fun for its genre, but has a surprisingly deep, sad undertone
yasss, finished finally!
what a great drama. really enjoyed this.
obviously this can't beat Mad Dog. Mad Dog was like the perfect drama for its genre in my book, it's full of sass and badassery.
the story here caught me by surprise by its very sad undertone, as the FL is a single mother who suddenly mourned and sought revenge for the loss of her only child. and the ML's backstory is very sad too. in fact Bo Mi and Kyung Soo's stories are also very sad and traumatic, making this drama very heavy to the feels. so, i wasn't able to watch this drama as a time-pass.
in terms of the last 2-3 episodes after the Chief Prosecutor was finally caught, the story moved on to the story of his teenage psychopath son and his 'final' move to screw them over. some people think that this part was unnecessary, but i actually really liked that. the father villain didn't give that much of an impact for me, and it was the psychopath son that really steals the show throughout and keeps me fully engaged (Solomon Park, boyyy you're too good!!!). and i really appreciated how the writers ended the story by showing his part instead because the ending for his father was nothing special (just send that bastard to jail once the evidence is secured, that's it).
so i can appreciate them giving full screentime to the psychopath son to wrap the story though the ending's execution was weak AF (the writer made the detective team leader a fool, just like her daughter LOL) for complying completely to the abductor request instead of reporting and approaching the case strategically as a seasoned police officer, lmao.
i don't like the ending. i don't know. i am probably in denial because the tragic ending somehow fitted the drama's undertone so much and i can somewhat respect that, but i was at least expecting a happy reunion between the team members, sighh. people also seemed to notice that it was an open ending that should allow for second season, and i am hopeful for that though i'm not sure if MBC has done multiple season series. i only know of such a thing at OCN's dramas. i really liked that although Prosecutor Jang is the secret team leader, Soo Ji is the first cast in the actor's order list which means this drama can indeed continue on using her as the main character just like Director Kang in Voice series.
actually, i am really happy to be watching this drama LOL. i get introduced to so many actors i haven't watched or watched much like Kim Young Kwang, Lee Shi Young, Key, Kim Seul Gi, the hot priest and Solomon Park, haha. i don't know if i should feel grateful that the boy plays his psychopath character so well that i really wanna choke him to death, LOL.
