Two Words: Loved It
Just finished this drama and wow. I loved every minute of this 16 episode ride. Although it was peppered here and there with a few over the top moments, I can't say I didn't enjoy it. I was fully engaged from beginning to end.
The story was interesting, filled with humor, mystery, and a small (but sweet) touch of romance. As with any well-written K-drama, there were just enough plot twists and big reveals to keep me on my toes and surprised throughout the story's development. Some revelations I guessed ahead of time, while others I thought I knew, but wasn't 100% sure until the very end, and some just caught me completely off guard! The characters, while stereotypical in some regards, were nonetheless dynamic and fleshed-out. They each fit into the story exceptionally well and moved it along in just the right way.
The acting was of course top-notch. I loved Im Soo Hyang's portrayal as a strong (yet not emotionally sterile), sarcastic, bad-ass female lead, and Lee Jang Woo was the cutest teddy bear counterpart , determined and ever the advocate for justice. Their dynamic was great. Among the supporting cast, the standout for me was Lee Kyu Han, portraying Mo Won Soo, the black sheep whom you couldn't help but love and empathize with. He stole every single scene he was in.
The OST...loved it. Fierce voice, fierce lyrics. It hyped me up and set the tone nicely.
Overall, if you love a good revenge/mystery/thriller drama that focuses more on family dynamics rather than law and police procedure, definitely check this one out (heck, check it out even if you do like procedural dramas!). I went in interested but without any expectations, and left feeling blown away.
