Connection

The first episode wasn't good enough and if someone would've stopped after watching it then I wouldn't blame them.

However, once the second episode starts and things start to be interesting in the funeral, it is very hard to stop before this show ends.

Korean shows have such a unique touch of making a normal detective-crime series turns out to be something memorable by having an aspect in the story that adds value to it (In our case here it is the addicted detective).

Once again a great Korean drama that blends mystery, crime and action alongside character development to create a perfect mix for the viewer !

Korean Drama '' Connection '' is a fast paced thriller with a mystery case that spans through time and connects a band of friends to a twisted crime.

The drama starts out a bit slowly, but when things start 'connecting', the suspense is enhanced and the drama gets more action scenes and more mysterious as well.

The story isn't linear, hence, it gets confusing at times, but the characters are well handled and the minimum amount (to zero actually) of romance was a smart choice for the plot. In addition, the performances were all great, by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.....

The story revolves around a group of friends connected by shady dealings. The main character, a narcotics officer, is kidnapped and made addicted to drugs - a fact he keeps secret in order to investigate the supposed suicide of a friend.

The plot and dialogues are cleverly crafted, the acting is excellent, and the drama unfolds without any romantic distractions.

Nevertheless, there are some disruptive elements, such as prominent product placement or implausible handling of evidence within the department. Also, the way withdrawal symptoms are depicted is illogical. Probably they were crafted this way for dramaturgical effect or to depict the immense willpower of the affected person. However, it rubbed me the wrong way.

If you can look past these shortcomings (among others), you'll be rewarded by a captivating, gripping and entertaining show that never gets boring.

The storyline and directing was excellent. This drama captures end to end thriller and has surprising elements until the very end. It starts off with a good speed - gets you addicted to the series! I couldn't stop watching it, everything about this drama was just about great.

The casting was excellent too. Every role is assigned to proper actor/actresses. Everyone nailed their part, especially the main lead, Ji Sung. The addicted detective role was superbly fulfilled by Ji Sung.

This drama is filled with twists and turns, betrayals and backstabbing. It was a great watch, and it certainly deserves more rating than it has here now. 10/10 personal rating and 100% recommended.

This is a very underrated episode. Surprise me immensely.

The story is believable and played out logically except for the end. Every characters are interconnected with others and such, is a bit complex storyline of which I enjoy. I dont usually go with too simple story line.

Every character is given their due course and development, we know how every characters behave in a given challenge and circumstances. Their struggles and how they perform under stress.

Ji Sun and Kwon Yool give a powerful acting!! While the female lead is a bit of disappointment.

However the ending seems too laughable and unbelievable, the ending is the only flaw for this series. Otherwise, I would have give it a9 or 10.
