Set my standards very high for future dramas

I stumbled onto this show by accident and didn't expect much, being my second k-drama. I binge this through 3 days of constant watching and came out of this having super high standards for any future shows I watch :)) I hear s2 is airing right now. I guess I'm lucky!

Story 10/10
I liked the synopsis, and the idea of an emotionless main character (mostly bc there wouldn't be a romance subplot lol), and the story turned out perfectly! The episodes were the perfect length and were very gripping. Everything was very cleverly planned out, and there was a lot of foreshadowing. However, it was easy to miss some details, so if you're not a native English speaker, you might have difficulties with keeping up. The characters were also fantastic and had development throughout the plot. They all had flaws and strengths, and none of them were two dimensional at all.

Acting/Cast 10/10
I loved the casting for this so much!! Each character's actor suited them perfectly. Cho Seung Woo (?) is such a good fit for Hwang Shi Mok and portrayed him wonderfully. The acting was so good, and I felt that the actors immersed themselves in the characters. Idk what else to say here lol

Music 10/10
After episode 2, I HAD to download the soundtrack because I loved it so much. It kicked in at the right times and fit every scene well.

Rewatch Value 10/10
I haven't rewatched yet (I just finished like 3 hours ago), but I would rewatch this because of the foreshadowing. I think I'd rewatch this with some friends as it'd be fun to see who they suspect and what their thoughts are.

I loved this show and I appreciated that there was ZERO romance in it. That was very refreshing. I love Prosecutor Hwang and Seo, they're super complex characters :)) I'm excited to watch season 2!
