UGH, I will absolutely die if Lee Do Hyun and Go Min Shi do not do another romance drama that isn't a tragedy. While Lee Do Hyun can definitely create chemistry with a brick wall, he and Go Min Shi give me such best friend vibes. I need them to be in a slow-burn buddy cop thriller, like yesterday.

Have zero complaints about this drama, except maybe a few minor gripes here and there (that ultimately don't affect anything much imo, but for the purpose of this review, here I go): while this drama definitely does not leave you behind if you don't know the timeline of the Gwangju Massacre, knowing exactly what happened and the sequence of events puts things into more perspective. The sudden barrage of bullets to relative silence and retreat from the militia is very sudden in the drama, but actually happens more gradually in real life, and I wish the drama showed that better. Ultimately, though, the drama is centered on the people of Gwangju during the May 18 protests, so it does what it promises beautifully- an insight into the people affected by one of the most horrific authoritarian crackdowns in human history.
