Now this was an interesting one!! OCN you see! Of course not OCN's best drama but a totally enjoyable one. It's quick and strangely addicting.. Too bad it had only 8 episodes. It's an episodic drama where separate crimes are investigated by a 'special' team. The dramas are connected in a well-written way.
The drama present different types of crimes and the motives behind them, showing a humane and sympathetic sides when dealing with the criminals and not judging them blindly. Each episode would give away nuggets of wisdom and political advice. The most interesting part is that the crimes tackled are present day crimes handled in the Joseon era with the old ways and tools.
The topics presented in the mini drama varied. We see traumas, revenge, passion crimes, pedophiles, homosexuality, affairs, people's indifference, psychopaths, usury, theft, private loans, tax evasion, hostages, grudges, nobles tyranny, classes, gisaengs, compassion, obsession, divide and rule, poison, law vs. justice, bullying, parents covering up for their children's crimes, how evil can a person be, education purpose, violence, jealousy, drugs and many others.
It is hilarious to see them use English borrowed words as if they belonged to the era.
Acting is great by everyone. The cinematic effects and music fit perfectly. OCN after all.
