Rascunho (2018)

Sketch is well written, acted and directed. The premise of the drama is interesting and there are some great twists and turns. It has great action and emotion. I was taken aback by how far the writer was willing to go. Also, I love the fact that I wasn't sure where it was going at times. There are a lot of predictable dramas out there where I usually figure out what is going to happen, but this drama kept me guessing. The characters have depth and helped drive the drama. it is rare for both the pace of a story and the characters to come together so well. The writer did a good job connecting the dots. I didn't feel like I was left wanting and the ending was well done. I like how the writer made the 1% seem like they are untouchable unless the 99% get together to stop them. I wish people didn't judge money as success. There are a lot of ways to be successful in life with out money.

All of the actors are good. Of course, Rain as Kang Dong Soo, Lee Sun Bin as Yoo Shi Hyun and Lee Dong Gun as Kim Do Jin were daebak. But Lee Seung Joo stole the show as Yoo Si Joon. I was so into his character and what drove him. It is hard to write a lot with out giving a way spoilers.

The music is good. Especially what they used for suspense.

I will probably rewatch this at some point.

If you like gritty, suspense with a little supernatural thrown in, then you will like this. I recommend it highly.

Absolutely Amazing

The plot twist.... damn, it shook me up too hard. I never would have expected that. The entire drama kept me on my toes for every episode, it was hard for me to look away from the screen. The plot was amazing, to be honest when i saw the episode that revealed stuff my breath got stuck in my throat it was too unexpected. I found it beautifully portrayed and all the actors depicted their characters so well that it was hard to guess what the truth would have been. I specially loved the character of Yoo Si Joon, I have no words for the character, the bond between the siblings, the reliance upon each other and of course the unexpected part.
