Shame
Thought this would be a gripping drama but sadly it felt disconnected. Surprising since there were only 8 eposodes so why so many storylines .The main story of the mall collapse featured at the beginning and end and we had other stories that just didnt carry much weight. All the characters lacked backstory, seemed to exist in isolation and acted coldly to others so many times that when they came together as a group it felt false .
The premise an award wining show and anchor should be relegated due to family relationship over the story they exposed was weak.
I loved the main actor for his acting and was upset to learn midway through he died which meant continuing watching it was hard. I did find it hard to empathise with him as his character however and for this I blame the writers. He berated his team alot and although he did guide them at times he didnt do much investigative work himself and Mr Shin seemed to have more of an impact on the teams success.
Overall i just didnt feel much empathy for any of the characters who often put the news before their own family, friends and informers. The whole issue over mr shin was overly dramatic and unbelievable.
The bullying of rookies was uncomfortable viewing and again with the writer case unbelievable - why hire her then use her as a babysitter? Just too many ridiculous occurances in this drama.
So overall I cant recommend youvto watch.
