    just watch it

    I really loved this kdrama, it combines action and thriller very well. I love the writing of every character, the emotional moments, how it started and how it ended. 8 episodes were sufficient so the plot wasn't slow or lacking. I recommend it 100%. Out of all the kdrama i have seen this year this one is one of the best so please watch it, don't miss it out.

    Fast Paced Thriller

    I'm 4 episodes in, and so far I've been pulled into the story completely. There are sad moments, fun moments, suspenseful moments, and thrilling moments. It really has made me experience a lot of things in just 4 episodes, and with 4 more to go, I can't wait to see how the story turns out. Some people may not be massive fans of fast-paced dramas but I am so this was right up my alley.

    The Defects

    The Defects, the series is an action thriller drama that tells the story of a group of children who are illegally purchased by their adoptive parents, and then trapped in the dark world of human trafficking.

    If you're someone who loves survival thrillers, mystery, and morally complex characters, "The Defects" might just become your new obsession. It's the kind of K-drama that pulls you in not just with its tension, but also with its heart. You'll find yourself emotionally invested in every episode!
