Never felt this awkward but in a good way watching a drama
Amazing. I love how this drama succeeded in making me feel anxious at each episode, but at the same time so satisfied.
Story (9.5)
I think we can all agree it's not just a simple drama: it's an analysis of how a criminal mind can also arise from the most common person. The situation where Jong Woo finds himself was not his fault at all, but it has somehow unlocked something obscure that was hiding inside himself. The rage, the hate, the disgust, the anxiety, the mental instability, all come out when Moon Jo teased him.
The story was optimally carried out. Every episode left me with a sense of restlessness in my heart that I had never tried before. Each plot twist (especially the last) left me confused and shocked. And the ending, I can say it with certainty, is one of the best I've ever seen in a series. I felt extremely satisfied and happy for Jong Woo when I saw him just be himself. Moon Jo was right, doing what you really want is the best.
Also this quote: "Humans are the most fearful creatures"... God bless that woman for saying one of the truest things in this world. The story is literally built on this statement.
Acting/Cast (10)
I'm still new in the world of kdrama, but I think I already have a crush on Lee Dong Wook. How can he be so good and so hot at the same time? Like sir, calm down, please. It almost seemed that I was tortured instead of the characters in the story. Too good to be true.
For what concerns Im Si Wan, he did a really great job. His expressions, sometimes a little exaggerated, immediately captured my attention. I think his character, given his complexity, was really difficult to represent, but Si Wan did a really great job.
Even the rest of the cast did a great job: they were all capable of making me hate their characters soooo much, precisely because they seemed extremely natural.
Music (9)
When you have a story like this, the soundtrack needs to be good. And it is. The music really helped to make this series more anxious and realistic.
Rewatch Value (8)
Definitely would rewatch it, but not now and maybe when I'm not already stressed for something else lol
Overall (9.5)
In the end I really loved it, and I just hope there could be a s2 just for watching Jong Woo become a serious serial killer and murder some other people (Idk why I love the idea).
