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!

The plot is very good, however, perhaps with the intention of adding more drama, the director presents us with excessively long scenes, so long that they even look like still shots, which makes the development a bit slow and boring. Despite this detail, the characters seem to adapt very well to this slow style of telling the story, where the performance of the suspicious daughter and the profiler stand out in an outstanding way, even giving the impression of having worked with this director in other opportunities. Describing the style as slow is not intended as a negative criticism, on the contrary, given that this is a drama and suspense series in which each episode gives us more questions than answers, it may be of interest to that audience that loves to be kept on the edge of the couch without a single clue about the outcome.

Doubt is a masterclass in crime thriller storytelling, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish. The drama excels in weaving a complex web of mystery, tension, and unexpected twists that challenge even the most seasoned fans of the genre. It's a deep dive into the messy, heartbreaking complexities of family relationships. As much as the plot keeps you on the edge of your seat, it's the emotional weight behind the characters' struggles that really hits hard.

Cinematography is beautiful. The setting is nothing special, just a normal city and the detective/his daughter's normal house. But the way they depict it to be gloomy and colorless adds to the ambience, and also highlights the relationship between the detective and his daughter.

In conclusion, Doubt is an exceptional drama that offers a refreshing take on crime thrillers. It engages your mind and emotions, leaving a lasting impression. If you're looking for a show that will keep you guessing and challenge your expectations, Doubt is a must-watch.

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.

As of this review, 5 episodes have been released in this 10-epdisode drama. So far, it seems we have a winner. There's much to talk about, but I want to start by saying stylish the show was shot and edited. The dark tone throughout the show and background music adds to the suspense. This psycho drama about a veteran profiler trying to solve a potential serial murder case with his own daughter involved somehow in at least one of the deaths takes you on quite a ride.

This show is not for casual viewing, as you will need to pay attention to keep up with quite a few key characters introduced in the first few episodes. As I've mentioned, the first half of this show has been incredibly good. I certainly hope the second part can deliver what it promises.

The storyline is captivating and the acting is top notch. You'll find yourself immersed in this story from the get go and will find yourself trying to investigate and solve the case along with the characters.

Since the show has more episodes to be delivered and you never know if the show is going to go off a cliff somehow, so I'll reserve further comment. However, so far so good, in fact, very good.
