An intricate plot of 21 years worth of some dark secrets...
Hands down one of the best criminal dramas I've had the pleasure of following ever since it's release.
The premise for this drama was high as my expectations the minute I've heard about it, and glad to know it did not disappoint.
I've got to say, am sad that it's not having the hype it truly deserves, because this is a masterpiece to be appreciated.
The way the plot was made and how every single characters kept getting more interesting as the drama unfolded and the constant lies and deceit dwelled and made the viewer grew suspicious of the most unlikely character is astonishing...
Personally my favorite thing about this drama, is definitely the partnership of the two main characters, Dongsik and Juwon.
An uncommon duo that through their bickering and stubbornness, led the viewers into an adventure of traps and suspicions.
Two different characters and yet also similar, struggling with their own issues, both trying to find their right path and justice.
It's a full journey from the minute they met, until the very end. And I must say, their development of caracter, their own growth truly shines in the very last episode. In that one heartbreaking scene inside the house that depicts their overall progress, and how much they've changed and committed to their very beliefs, finding right and wrong. It's raw, and emotional and brilliant.
This is a gruesome drama, albeit there might be worse than this one, description is advised.
Still if you watch for the criminal and judicial terms and themes, then this drama is right for you.
One thing is certain it won't leave you bored. It's realistic, and shows how greedy and deceitful people are, even those one can least expect too. It has it's moments that might mess around with your assumptions, and definitely has some Psycho definitions, and yet if you're one to assume or create theories maybe you might get right on some, and others will make you doubtful, because nothing is for granted here until the end.
The OST is okay, I liked it. It matches well the drama. But what engaged me more was the plot.
Maybe I am being biased because I really enjoy these kind of dramas, and because the acting of Yeo JinGoo here is remarkable just as Shin HaKyun, but then again every single one the cast did their roles well. I've got no complains on that regard.
So, I highly recommend for criminal/thriller enthusiasts. It's definitely a must on your list ;)
