On edge!!!
By "on edge" I mean that this series literally leaves you on the edge of your seat after every episode. Lee Joon-Gi (Baek Hee-sung) was so perfect for the lead role. He is such an amazing actor and I never imagined him being able to pull off such an intense and bad-ass role. But he did it!!! An emotionless character who falls for a cop... could it get any better than that!!! And the times where he almost gets caught but gets away with it... it honestly gives you such an adrenalin rush every time!!!! Moon Chae-won (Cha Ji-won) was such a good choice for the lead actress as well. I've seen her in other dramas but this was honestly my favourtie series that she featured in.Honestly, give this series a go!!! I promise you, that you won't have any regrets!!!!

Disappointment!!! Confusion!!! Unsure!!!!
This series was a bit of a let down!! The trailer made it look like it was going to be really good but now after watching it, I must say, I was very disappointed. It was slow, quite boring and lacked a feeling of intensity and power. It was an ordinary series with very few suspenseful scenes. Too much talking, not enough excitement or thrill. My first problem was with the story line. There were no special moments, just mere conversations between the characters. The execution of their plan was quite interesting but it was just too slow. The process took way too long and we still didn't get to see much progress in their robbery. I mean, they could've showed us more scenes relating to the outcome of their robbery but I guess they have plans to make it big in the second half of the series. I don't know but I guess after watching the episodes back to back, I was slowly starting to lose interest as there was nothing really going on. (I really do hope Part 2 makes up for the way I feel after watching Part 1)I also had a problem with one of the characters; Tokyo, (Jeon Jong-seo). Whoever created her role and wrote her lines, didn't do a really good job. Instead of making her look like a fierce queen, they portrayed her as a little kid with no confidence. (In my opinion) Her scenes were boring and she didn't really have any empowering moments, which made me feel as though her character was pretty worthless, especially because she's one of the main characters in this series. I will however, give an applaud to Park Hae-soo (Berlin) as he was the only real bad-ass in the group. He took the lead and did at very good job at keeping everyone in check (until they all turned on him, which by the way, pissed me off so much) as he should've.
For now, I won't make any more critiques (even though there's a lot) as there will be a part 2 of this series. I do however want to state, that I still have high hopes that this series will have a turn of events and end up being a really good one. Let's see how it all turns out. No more boring!!!! Bring on the excitement, more thrilling surprises and an awesome ending!!!!

First off, I was fascinated by the story line of this series as it was full of epic plot twists, revengeful action packed scenes and intense cliff hangers. The beginning of this series wasn't that compelling but as each episode progressed, it successfully improved after one another. I became very fond of all the actors, especially the antagonists of this series. Park Solomon did exceptionally well with his character. His emotions and actions portrayed as the antagonist really paid off. He was definitely my favourite character of this series and impacted on how I reviewed in terms of story and overall. Afterall, I look more into the villans than the protagonists. All actors played their roles well and I admire their hardwork and determination.
I would recommend this series to K Drama Fans who like to be surprised in every episode and like to have their emotions played with. It will get you riled up when evil occurs and excited whenever revenge takes place. You won't be disappointed. This series will lift your spirits if you are in the mood for a revengeful series. ?
