Indeed an Action Thriller!

Honestly watched this for Han Sohee (Jiwoo) and she didn’t disappoint at all! Her acting was topnotch and she was able to portray every bit of emotion that was needed for her character. I was also pleasantly surprised with Park Heeson’s (Choi Moojin) acting as well! He nailed that badass gang leader character and was also able to portray his character’s depth as well.

The series was also well filmed. They did a great job with setting the tone for each and every scene all throughout the series. The action scenes will also leave you wanting for more! Han So Hee really did a great job performing all those stunts.

The only thing quite unfortunate for this series was that the story was quite predictable especially if you have watched a lot of noir gangster movies or series. It was especially the case for me as I already had a hunch right from the earlier episodes on who was the killer. Mostly because the premise of a gang leader taking someone under his wing to ‘supposedly’ help fulfill their revenge is quite common in my opinion.
The unexpected romance was in the end was honestly quite a surprise but it doesn’t necessarily mean it was bad. Especially if we’ll try to understand Jiwoo’s character wherein she finally met someone who knew the other part of her but nonetheless still believed in her until the end.

Overall, it was still an enjoyable watch for me and I didn’t mind the predictable plotline because they still managed to execute the story in a unique way.
It indeed lived up to my expectation of it being an Action Thriller!

Worth every single second of your time

I watched this drama last year, early 2019. At first I’ve only watched it only because IU was in it and I stumbled upon the OSTs of the drama but I was by the end of it, I didn’t know I would get this attached. This drama got me extremely hooked on the main character’s plot the whole series, though I have to admit I wasn’t that interested to the other character’s scenarios. I even had a point in the drama where I skipped some of the side character’s part because I found it a bit boring. However, I laughed, cried and smiled all throughout this drama. It made me feel different variants of emotions all throughout the series.

Now its 2020 and we’re in the middle of a pandemic which made me rewatch this drama again and it honestly feels like Im watching a whole different drama.

“You’re all decent people. May you hang in there until you find comfort for yourselves.”

This was the production team’s message at the very end of the drama but for some reason, even the statement made me cry. For months, ever since I first watched the drama, I’ve held on to this statement without knowing why. For some reason it brought tears to my eyes.

And after finishing the drama again today, it was the same. I cried when I read it. However, the thing that changed the most is that I finally understand, the reason why the statement made me cry. It was because it brought me comfort. For some reason, I cried throughout the most scenes that lead towards the ending but when the ending scene actually came up, it only made me genuinely smile. Without even knowing it.
The bright smiles of the two main characters was truly very fulfilling to see in the end especially when I saw the struggles and the frowns they almost seemed to wear all throughout the series. Their smiles was comforting.

This drama brought me such a huge comfort in coping with my own struggles. It helped me understand the people around me, I honestly never thought I’ll get this attached to a drama like this but it’s definitely worth every single second of watching it!
