When "Ten" started airing on OCN, it became a surprise hit. Despite it's late-night air time, the ratings were pretty high, considering it was on a cable channel. Even so, I wasn't all that excited to watch this drama. I used to have a *really* strong obsession with CSI, but at some point crime shows just got boring to me. It seemed like the same thing over and over again- team sees the murder scene, team solves the case, murderer is put behind bars. End of story. I was a little disappointed that "Ten" didn't really deviate from that plot, but it did provide a brilliant set-up for season 2. Story: To be completely honest, "Ten" just seemed like it was exposition for something else. In fact, it was barely that. The story placed some focus on the team members, but paid more attention to it's case of the week. The team dynamic was interesting, but again not much emphasis was placed on it. The characters, however, were very interesting and layered, so I'm hoping the second season can focus more on them. There was an over-arching plot, but it was only hinted at this season. Acting: The acting was really good, as far as I could tell. The characters were layered and complex, and the main cast pulled them off wonderfully. Music: The music was gorgeous- especially Mad Soul Child's "Breath". The OST itself had a very dark vibe to it, which made it perfect for this drama. Rewatch Value: Most of this drama's time was spent on solving the cases, and once you know who the murderer is, it's not much fun. Overall: "Ten" was dark and gripping, but at the same time it felt like it was just paving the way for something bigger. I have high expectations for season 2, though.
