Don't Fall While You're Sitting at the Edge of Your Seat
This drama is like a rock you push off a tall mountain -- once gravity kicks in, the rock gets faster and faster, building up unstoppable momentum until it reaches its inevitable end and crashes with a big, exciting explosion. I found myself quickly hooked into this show and constantly wanting to know more: why did a character do what they did? What is the identify of this person everyone is searching for? How does this new information fit into the grand scheme of things? The show answers these questions as quickly as it creates new ones. It is a thrilling ride.
Shin Ha Kyun and Yeo Jin Goo absolutely kill it with their performances. Lee Dong Shik is one part genius, one part jaded, and one part creepy -- a veritable mastermind who will have you second guessing his motives from episode to episode. Han Joo Won is a relentless, naive, boy scout who is a natural foil to the years of life experience that Dong Shik brings to the table. Together, they dynamic brings a very compelling perspective to guide you into exploration of the murder mysteries that the show covers and the themes exploring humanity and the meaning of law order. Throughout the series, I had no real sense of how the characters were going to evolve nor how the story was going to end, and I think that's a good thing. The unpredictability of this show gives it a unique quality and it definitely avoids the feeling of a cliched "good guy vs bad guy" story.
The one, minor flaw is that this production does suffer a little from the "ending part is not as great as the beginning part" that most Kdramas seem to experience. I found the ending just a little too tidy and the final episode just felt a tad too rushed for my tastes. However, I think the drama is very cohesive: from beginning to end, its characters are very consistent, yet show change and growth in ways that you might expect for people that go through the experiences that they did. Moreover, the themes and values explored come full circle and have a satisfying conclusion. Overall, this is a much watch in my opinion.
