National Death Penalty Vote

If you are a Park Hae Jin fan you will love this drama! PHJ is such a versatile actor. He's quite evil in this drama. Don't worry you will quickly adjust to his menacing role. I've only watched 2 episodes and they left me on the edge of the couch! I am waiting for episode 3 because episode 2 was a nail biter. If you like action and murder mysteries you will love this drama! The cast of actors are excellent and the female lead is from the Glory drama. The only downfall is one episode weekly. I am use to Koreans drama airing twice weekly.

This drama will give many clues throughout the episodes to assist you with determining who the suspects may be. The first episode reveals a relationship. I will say no more. Please watch this excellent drama!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The killing vote starts from a very clever premise: the justice system is corrupt and inefficient, the people's justice will find and punish devils deemed innocent. Sometimes the story drags too much, some of the dialogue is forced, but the drama is there, some of the actors are really outstanding, and the others are good. There are many twists and turns, many of which are simply brilliant, while others were unnecessary. But overall, it is a series that will make you want to watch it to the end as the story progresses.

I disagree with the reviews of those who criticize the moments of levity in the series. These moments are well contextualized with the characters. You will never see the "professor" (the most dramatic character in the series) laughing, just as you will never see the antagonists making jokes. The series also lends itself to interesting philosophical debates on justice, the writers have done their homework in that Cesare Beccaria is also quoted in the series, and several references to modern digital rights.

The weak point of the series is the ending, but I can understand the decision of the writers to keep things a little open to propose a second season. I strongly suggest watching it in the original language with subtitles; the Korean language is very expressive, so watching it dubbed would kill much of the acting.

Korean Drama '' The Killing Vote '' is a chilling thriller that combines many criminal cases, but mainly focuses on the mystery of the dog-masked man who kills those whom the law doesn't punish accordingly.

The drama, therefore, has an intense story, with some crimes being really dark and harsh to follow. Also, towards the ending, everything comes together, even those characters that seemed pointless to watch all this time have their own part in the mystery. Actually, all the characters were interesting, especially the professor, who was a tragic character. The performances were pretty great as well, and there should be a special shout out to the younger members of the cast who really shone.

However, on the other hand, the ending was lukewarm. Sure, there were some moments when the drama started getting blunt and tiring to follow, as they kept dragging, but the ending could have wrapped up things more smoothly.

So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

It's like watching an action movie for kids. I distinctly remember in the first episode how the main character stomped his own forehead on the table, but when their head lifted, the one bleeding and oozing blood wasn't the forehead in the middle but the side of his head. Like, WHATTT??? Even though the middle of his forehead should've been the spot when his head hit the table, it looked smooth without any scratches. It's utterly ridiculous. That's just the first episode, in the following episodes, there are even more nonsensical scenes that make the show increasingly absurd.

The premise seems promising, but the execution is a mess. I don't know if it's the director's fault, the editor's, the scriptwriter's, the makeup team's, or whoever is involved, but they all seem to be working together to ruin this show. Many scenes look like cheap soap operas from various aspects.

The storyline is rambling and dragging. There are so many unnecessary scenes thrown into the story when it could've flowed just fine without wasting time.

I tried to keep watching even though I lost interest, but I only made it to episode 6. I don't want to waste any more of my time.

This show has been my insomnia fuel for the past week so I'll say at the very least it's entertaining. However, between the poorly written women characters and predictable ending, it doesn't have any replay value. Do I regret my time watching it? Not at all. Would I watch it again? Absolutely not.

There was clearly a lot of money put into this production, but it seems like the writing got the least amount of the budget. There's some serious plot holes and suspending my judgment doesn't change that. The last 4 episodes feel like a different show than the first 8 episodes which would be cool if it was intentional. It wasn't though, and it seemed as though the suspense they built was for nothing. Overall, it was just OK.
