This series has its strengths and its weaknesses. Its biggest strength is its two leading actors, both of whom are more than up to the task of powering the action and giving us characters to root for.

They are aided by a complex plot with many twists and turns and some well-realised action.

On the downside, the focus on delivering entertainment too often eclipses any attempt at depicting reality, which somewhat punctures the excitement that might have been. Also, many of the characters are rather one dimensional. Goodies and baddies are painted in bold strokes with no room for rounded characters, except the one or two who change their spots as the plot develops.

But still, it's an entertaining watch with two likeable stars, and I was happy to enjoy it for what it is.

Another great show from s/k shame we in uk seem to care more about reality tv these days-no decnt drama-were luck if we get 1hr awk but s/k continues to put rest to shame.

Surprisingly, the main characters in this series didnt catch my attention, instead i am drawn to the supporting characters, they have more strong presence in the story, and the actors are better than the two leads.

The two main characters' are boring, kind of dumb and repetitive of so much korean drama. The storyline has a lot of inconsistencies and holes.

The woman lead (Jo Bo-Ah) is a total disappointment, the only facial expression she can have is to open her already big eyes into bigger eyes, showing a lot of whites which is kind of scary, . She NEEDS to polish her acting. The male leads if average, nothing spectacular, so average.

However, the supporting characters, Noh Hwa-Young, Noh Tae-Nam and Pyun Sang-Ho, these are brilliant characters that gave the story a strong background. Imagine without them, this series will be so boring.

The transition of Noh Tae-nam is heartwarming and inspirational, a child who didnt have the love of his mother and became a bully, is lonely and have only his dog as his family. His transition from being a weak, angry bully to realizing his wrongdoings, to finding his inner peace and eventually, forgive the mother who brings so much pain in his life is inspirational.

The actors who played the three characters are good, since their characters have more dimension, they must have the acting skills to portray different emotion and feelings at different stage/scene, yet they delivered. I would love to see more of Kim Woo-Seok and Kim Yo-Han.

Overall, it is not a bad show, thanks to the supporting cast.

Like Deluxe Taxi driver and Devil Judge, Military Prosecutor Doberman sets out to right Society's wrongs by Dobee's peculiar approach to Justice. I liked the twists at the beginning, with the female factor, better-wrought than many token actresses. You've gotta feel it just a bit for Doberman's rich victims, though it's a fair bet that many super-rich S. Koreans climbed the greasy ladder - right? After episode 3 & still interested. Just one martial arts criticism - in real life both men and women are put into different weight divisions to stop the inevitable slaughter of 120 Kg. Taekwondo heavyweight tearing a 60Kg-er limb from limb. Yes, I know it's Charlie Chan tribute stuff, but just a little more realism please.

Finally !! A k-drama that has a female corrupt villain. Not only is the female antagonist good as a villain but she even does her own dirty work. This series focuses on the two female leads the villain and the hero. A military 2 star general that has her hands into corruption outside the military. The fight scenes are okay but a little too exaggerated. The story goes on to show you what the female general is willing to do to get to the top. As for the male characters she has this thing with them and is looking to take them down as well to ascend to the top. In the end as with all k-dramas the hero prevails. What would have made this better is if both female leads would have battled it out in a fight to the death scene at the end . You have to commend the makeup artist as they were able to make the general look older and more ordinary than what she looks like. All of the other characters played their roles as well. What I don't understand is the review by Bibliography stating that it was stereotyping black people who rob and listened to rap music. Either he was watching something else and mistook this for another title or there is another version of this drama elsewhere?
