Chaotic yet brings a feeling of steadiness
In this era of skimming through series at 2x speed, this drama demanded to be watched at its own rhythm.The narrative is beautifully crafted offering nothing gut-wrenching but plenty OH.. moments without forcing shock and dragging out reveals. When it feels like the world is burning and everything is falling apart, it pulls the viewer back to a proper, grounded story. I doubted it at one point thinking they added a piece just for the sake of it, but each piece was strung together with clarity. Before long I was already caught up in the chain of "who did what" and where do I stand on this.
It’s one of the best-cast dramas regardless of how I feel about the characters or actors; everyone makes sense. The intelligence and vision of everyone involved in this production are highlighted in the way Judge Son Hyun Joo delivers his lines and chairman Kim Myung Min shapes the direction of the story.
The show engages with questions of moral complexity. - why you root for some sides, it's not just two sides, why you hesitate to root for others, why you can’t root for anyone at all, or why you change your mind about it - but it doesn't flex that theme to preach and pose itself as a profound drama.
What's profound is Son Hyun Joo's delivery. I’ve mentioned it before and it deserves to be mentioned again.

Dropped at Ep 3-review update KEEP AT IT!
This is the first drama starring Son Hyun-joo that I have dropped 🤷🏾♀️ but Honestly I really tried to continue this drama but just couldn't get into it the way I hoped I would.The story is good and so is the acting but it started to get VERY draggy and I was only 3 eps in, I honestly enjoyed watching 'Your Honor 2018' same name drama different Synopsis but VERY GOOD!.
UPDATE!-so as you can see i have updated my review from 5 to 8 becuase everything starts from Ep4 so you really have to give it time and stick at it.

Full of suprises
the show is good, def go for it. The acting is great, especially kim do hoon's, its really hard to act as an asthma patient which he delivers perfectly, his acting has really improved, I liked him in moving, definitely a future star in making. The other guy who stood out to me was the eldest son of the antagonist, he's going great, I feel scared whenever he is on the screen and that's such an amazing acting screen presence. He was made for antagonist roles !!! And obviously the veteran actors did a great job as always, basically they are the ones carrying the show.Was this review helpful to you?
