Interesting story.. But bit dragged in the middle but powerful ending makes it a decent watch..

Plenty of red herrings in this drama of murder and corruption in the conglomerate world. It is well acted with an intriguing story but to me the overall tempo is off. Probably should have reduced the episodes to tighten story and had a few less baddies.

As this Korean drama opens a woman crashes from the top of a tower block. A couple of weeks later an assemblyman is killed when his car is driven off the road. The two events aren't considered to be connected and both are initially thought to be suicides. Jo Tae-sik, a police officer who has requested a transfer to a rural area, is given the case. It is meant to be an easy last case but he soon realises the car crash was no accident. Along with two colleagues he sets about uncovering the truth. Meanwhile Kim Seo-hee, the assemblyman's daughter, is encouraged to stand in the by-election caused by her father's death. Around the same time her husband disappears. She is pressured to help push through a law her father intended to propose. As the story progresses these two protagonists work together and find themselves and those close to them endangered as they cross powerful people determined to keep a dangerous secret.

I thought this was a really solid series. Fans of Korean crime drama should really enjoy it. The central mystery is interesting and provides more twists and turns than I'd expected from a series that shows us some of the behind the scenes plotting. The drama provides plenty of tense moments as well as one major shock which I won't spoil. As is often the case in K-Drama there are also a few laughs, more so early on, to lighten the tone; many of these are provided by policewoman Kang Jin-kyung. The cast does a fine job bringing their characters to life. Overall definitely one to watch if you enjoy Korean crime dramas.

These comments are based on watching the series in Korean with English subtitles.

Why is she so dumb? So clueless? Why the heck does she just scream hysterically at every opportunity? Why does she just do what everyone tells her to do? This could be a very good series. It's interesting. The FL however is a clueless barbie doll with zero facial expression apart from "dumb vague". Why Kdramas can't put in more strong women characters who aren't helpless dolls is beyond me, but they keep repeating the same mistakes.

She is only minorly below the screaming woman in "she was pretty" who screams in every show she's in unnecessarily.

I otherwise like the show, but am not sure whether to continue with the mute button on permanently or just suck it up and watch it. There's not a lot of choice without my neighbours calling the police on me from all the hysterical screaming.

First thing first, watch this on Netflix. now. love the character development and how they brought the viewers to each layers closer to the truth. I found this very exciting, interesting, and it truly drove me crazy. all the secrets that's been kept from me, from the characters, anger me so much but then again, realistically speaking, humans I see in real life would honestly go to that extent to protect what they think needs to be protected; wealth and public's opinion of them.
