I can confidently say it's an absolute masterpiece! The show brilliantly blends intense suspense with deep emotional layers, making every episode a thrilling experience. The writing stood out the most-each scene felt so carefully crafted, with twists that left me speechless.

This drama is a prime example of quality content, and what sets it apart is its cinematography, screenplay, and the unpredictability of the plot. The dynamic interactions between the characters and the way different aspects of each character were portrayed was truly captivating. The show lived up to its title "Doubt" and maintained its suspense all the way through to the final episode.

I wouldn't recommend this drama to just anyone, as it may not be cup of tea for everyone. Not everyone appreciates the depth of slow-burn thrillers. However, this drama is a perfect representation of how a slow-burn thriller should unfold. It never felt boring because the characters were engaging enough to keep you hooked.

For anyone who hasn't watched it yet, watch it without a "doubt" 😄 it's not just a show, it's an emotional journey. Highly recommended!

I started watching this drama because I heard that my favorite actor, Han Suk-kyu, was appearing on MBC, where the original drama was aired, for the first time in 30 years.

I think Han Suk-kyu is one of the best actors in Korea in terms of acting skills, and the directing, story, and acting skills of the other actors who appeared with him are the best among the dramas I've seen this year.

The tension and directing in each episode are outstanding, and it makes you wait for the next episode every time.

I recommend that you don't approach it too quickly, but savor each scene and enjoy it.

The best Korean drama of the year is currently airing on MBC on Saturdays and Sundays, and can be seen worldwide on Netflix, so I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes.

Doubt as a series is not a psychological drama, but an unnecessarily stretched-to-the-max attempt to a thriller. The profiler character is a police officer who sometimes paces away with -or utters- a clue (we will never know how he got to his conclusions, but he is a profiler so why question his methods). The daughter (who is a suspect) is someone who refuses to explain her actions to anyone. But is perma-angry that she is a suspect. The series pace is painfully slow, I fear that this is what some confuse with psychological. It completely ruined the story for me. I found myself skipping parts, skipping episodes and still very much able to follow the clue in the last part. So: poorly worked-out characters and motivations, super slow pace, nonsensical attitudes. The best actors to me are officer Gu Dae-Hong (played by Roh Jae-Won) and criminal Choi Young-Min (played by Kim Jung-Jin). I found the rest utterly forgettable.

What an amazing production.

Writing which gives you the idea that you have figured it all out, and then pulls the rug from under you. Multiple times. And then again for good measure.

The production values are amazing. The dreary atmosphere that is being set really works with the story that is being given. And the scenes look beautiful. I almost thought this was a horror series from some of the scenes in the first episode.

Acting is superb. None of that over the top acting in this one, this one plays it deeply serious from start to end. And everybody does an amazing job. Really good casting here.

I can understand the criticims that some scenes take long yeah, but they do look amazing and some of them also give the impact they are trying to generate because of taking that extra pause.

I can easily overlook that though, because I really enjoyed this production. Very much recommended if you like a dark mystery.

Having watched the entire show in one day, I can confidently say the series is worth it. It's not a 10 because the pacing in some episodes is a bit slow.

The cinematography is a standout feature of this show. It avoids the usual K-drama shots and instead delivers cinematography that fits perfectly with the tone and theme of the series.

The OST is another strong point, driving the tension in the scenes, especially the darker ones (like the scene in the hut-you know the one).

The actors do an excellent job throughout, especially the daughter. Truly outstanding work.

In summary, this show isn't for the average TikTok user or typical K-drama fan, unless that viewer primarily watches K-thrillers. It's a great, concise series with a fulfilling ending to the whole story. If I had to compare it to a more mainstream K-drama, it's like a dark, reversed-role Flower of Evil, as the daughter and the main protagonist of Flower of Evil share a lot in common.

Great show-definitely worth the watch.
