So much going on but I'm loving it here
I wanted to give it some time before i wrote a review for this drama, at least after I've watched half of it. So here i am 8 eps in.
And given that I'm here halfway through the drama, I've only got good things to say.
From the get-go, the plot was already my style. It intrigued me so much I knew I had to give it try. It was also impossibly unique. From ep 1, I was so sure who the killer was and was so certain of it 'cause I had concreate evidence to back my theory, but then few episodes in, my mind changes... and then I'm thinking to myself, "maybe they're accomplices?" But then something happens that goes against my speculations. It plays around with my head so much It started to annoy me! Oof!
And it creeps me out 'cause the moment I began feeling so frustrated, the flow changed. Like it read me. Does it sound dramatic lmao but i kid you not. I was no longer confused and the real killer was shown. And knowing who the killer was for certain while watching this drama as an audience was another type of experience. You get to see how the other characters behave, how the killer killed and what the fukken hell was going through his head when he did what he did. You see the aftermath in a different perspective and that's pretty cool.
Another thing is they don't drag it for too long. Seeing as Ep. 8 is done, we've got 8 more eps and that's half of the drama left. Instead of focusing on the caught killer, the flow changed again, and i love it here. After watching the teaser for Ep. 9, it feels like the killer committed suicide? And even though he/she may have killed a lot of people, the killer Dong Sik has been looking for the past 20 years may actually be someone else? It just keeps getting better and better! I'm not bored for a minute when I watch this drama!
Last thing I've got to talk about is the chemistry between Dong Sik and Joo Won! OMG talk about tension! They were perfect, as rivals, friends, partners, whatever it was, they pulled it off together, and they did it so well! The first few eps, I was worried they'd stay as enemies slash colleagues-who-put-up-with-each-other-cause-they-are-cops-and-killing-one-another-is-illegal but Ep. 8 was a sigh of relief. They're going to team up and catch the killers that run havoc in Manyang and bring justice to the victims!
UPDATE:
Finished watching EPS 9 and 10 and omg so much happened! Someone else dies and it's heartbreaking... That ending scene of EP 10 was devastating yet the chemistry between Dong Shik and Joo Won is simply amazing. They would have made the best partners from the get-go but due to misunderstandings and pride and their stubbornness, we didn't get to see it, at least I hope until now. 'Cause finally Dong Shik acknowledged Joo Won as his partner (he said it in WORDS yasss!!!), and I didn't expect that hug at the end of EP 10 but it was beautiful and heart-wrenching at the same time. I want to say they're at last going to work together for real, but I thought the same thing last week for this week's eps... We've got 6 more eps until it ends, I hope we get a happy ending please!
All in all, I love this drama to bits! The genre, the plot, the castings, the bromance!! 100/100!!!
