Great acting, good premise, basic execution
Being so short, yet so repetitive and yet so underdevelopedThe cop, kwangsoo, and Mr smiles were the interesting part
the 20billion honestly felt like valid reasoning xD
The one target till the end ruined the mood, especially since his targeters were his victims
And he never died… so many attempts…
then it got political and a total snooze
The masked guy, was disappointing, he was like the son? A victim? Idk it was so out of place and rushed over
Like, when there’s a murder mystery, it’s either someone they show or someone new, so in this case it was someone new and his story especially since the whole thing revolved too much on one target, made it detached
Tho the cop getting the money made it sad cuz of what he did to his daughter, he stole from thieves and put his family in danger, he doesn’t deserve happiness
Tho he didn’t stop chasing the masked guy so he’s not fully satisfied?

Gripping, brutal and no punches pulled.
I entered this drama with an open mind and wondered what fresh story line it offered. To say the least, I was bowled over by the intricate woven plot that linked our protagonist Baek Jung Sik played by the amazing veteran Jo Jin Woong to each richly matured well rounded characters played out from the first episode right up to Mr. Smile at the end of episode 8. Superb acting from a stellar cast, Yeom Jung Ah, her role as a shady, manipulative politician is a standout, that said, each main character is just as devious with their own agendas. Lots of pain and punishment along the way, I averted my eyes from a couple of scenes, other than that, I loved it. Recommend to anyone seeking clever, strong storytelling along with thrills and spills that can get messy yet a satisfying finish. Hoping for season 2 soon.Was this review helpful to you?

Similar to Killing Vote
I was super excited to watch this drama because of the cast and trailer, but it was different than expected. The first five minutes of the drama was completely different from the rest of the show. I had expected more action and other people to be chosen on the roulette, but it was only focused on one person. Not to mention, it felt like he couldn't be killed LOL I definitely thought he would die after two stabs to the chest, but he somehow recovered in no time. Even a stab to the neck didn't do anything to him. He honestly felt immortal. Similarly, Mr. Smile doesn't die even after getting shot, but they don't explain why. It definitely seemed like a vital injury, but he ended up recovering like nothing happened. I was also very confused by how they kept going back and forth to the past and present from different perspectives, and it felt like there were a lot of loose ends. I can't help but feel this could've been so much moreWas this review helpful to you?
