The Intimate Traitor

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.

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!

Doubt... doubt... and more doubt. These doubts only lead to bigger problems.

Why can't people just ask directly instead of merely doubting? So many issues wouldn't arise if we simply asked and listened for answers. This TV show brilliantly captures the role of doubt in the world we live in.

Every episode is a masterfully crafted thriller. The scenes with the father and daughter are so intense that they leave the viewer breathless.

I've watched a lot of TV shows this year but I believe this one is the best of 2024. Sometimes, after watching shows, I found out I got something very helpful and valuable for my life. This is one of them.

Doubt is so much more than just a mind-bending psychological thriller. 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.

And then there's Han Suk-kyu. I can't even begin to express how amazing he is in this role. Every scene is a masterclass in subtlety, whether he's showing the weight of his character's guilt or the raw emotion of someone trying to salvage the wreckage of his life. His acting is so layered & nuanced that you can practically feel every bit of pain and longing he's going through.

The directing, cinematography, and BGM make this drama a cinematic experience. A solid 10/10!

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.
