My feelings for this show are all over the place, but ultimately I am SO disappointed. The story started off really intriguing, became very repetitive and meandering, and then ended with a fizzle. Ultimately, it felt like a waste of my time.

The story could have been good, especially with the reveals that there were more than just the God's Hands to deal with— but we spent so much time on the gang, that the other antagonists got so little time on screen and their plot lines felt rushed and really forced. It was really disappointing, too, because the other antagonists were much more interesting than the God's Hands, and I would have rathered see more of them. I was also very disappointed in the use of the predatory lesbian trope— it was gross and very much not needed in order to make [redacted] appear to be a villain. That definitely brought my rating down with just the last two episodes.

The really sad part is the fact that the cast was so amazing! Chimon, Nanon, First, Ohm, Drake... They were all so fantastic and wonderful to watch, and it was almost painful at times to see them in the midst of this crappy plot. Acting-wise, I really don't have any solid complaints, but even the best actors couldn't make this better. Especially because there were just too many main characters, so often characters like Bantad felt very shafted and undeveloped, even though they're billed to be as much of a lead as Traffic or Highlight. If they had limited Blacklist to four members, it might have felt stronger.

In regards to recommending this to someone— if you really like the cast and are desperate to see some of the actors, go for it. But otherwise, there are many far better dramas to try before you watch this one.
