Best thriller airing right now
Omg I was just holding my breath till the end of the second episode. what a fast paced series.. with lots of suspense and everytime leave us in a cliffhanger. Not to mention the acting, we all know the leads and their extraordinary performance. Ji sung my fav..From the 1st two episodes, we can see friendship, revenge, love, death, investigation, fight and everything. This is a complete pack.
The plot also seems new to me. A detective from the narcotics team (jang jae- he is the main lead) who, after being forcibly addicted to drugs by some illegal drug dealers, finds unexpected turns in his life. And at the same time, his old friend commits suicide which he believes as a murder. The main plot twist is that, his dead friend left 5 million dollar worth insurance money to both our main leads jung jae and oh yun ( btw they were not so close to give them 5 million dollars lol). it's suspicious. Now our officer has many things to unfold, like.. the drug dealer, the murderer, and also the reason for his friend to take a life insurance worth 5 million dollars, all while hiding his addiction from everyone. The answer to the questions is all connected.
It's interesting to me atleast. But I can guarantee you.. you will all wonder what will happen next.. for sure
So go and watch this masterpiece

Who is the Doctor?
This is a good crime drama with a well-written plot and characters. The overlap between characters flows nicely, so it does not feel forced. The pacing is also smooth and well-controlled, preventing the series from feeling slow or boring as the audience learns new things and sees developments in each episode. To me, this is an A series; I give it a 9.I assume I'm not dropping spoilers since what I'm writing here is my guess, as this crime drama plays with a detective theme. To answer my headline question, I'm guessing the 'real' or the 'first' doctor is already dead. Now, who is playing the 'Doctor'? (whom I call the new Doctor). The new Doctor seems to care more about money above all, rather than maintaining control and power. It could be the prosecutor, the widow, the loyal secretary, or the narcotics chief.
While from enemy to friend story is cute and heartwarming, friend turning into an enemy is devastating. In this crime drama, I particularly enjoy the exploration of a friend becoming an enemy, as in this story, they were classmates in high school.
Lastly, Jae Kyung seems to be one step behind. Although it's a bit blurry, someone appears to be reading his moves. Let's see if the writer or director isn't too shy to push this narrative. I believe someone in the Narcotics Team is involved, my bet is on the lady boss. If it's not her, then the head of the Anhyeon Police Station might have something to do with it.
Final note: I understand that it takes a really smart writer to pull off a crime detective story where the culprit is someone close and well-known to everyone. It requires well-crafted settings to cover the tracks without flaws. Otherwise, it will result in plot holes. It would be safer if the writer used a side character, who the main lead is not very close to, as the main culprit.
So, let's see!!!

I always watch Jisung dramas
As always, Jisung killed it. His dramas are mostly awesome, this one is too. Since I work night shift, I usually watch the episode on Sunday. I'll be watching it soon. It's a great series and everyone did a great job at acting. I usually wait for drama to finish then I do the marathon but when it comes to Jisung dramas, I always start watching it when the episode gets updated. Can't wait for next episode to get updated.Was this review helpful to you?
All the lead actors and actresses have very good performances, especially Ji Sung's acting is outstanding! Enjoy every moment of his performance. Can't wait for the next episode!

Drama of the year, indeed!
It is so me to find the best dramas of 2024 only retrospectively in 2025! This show was so good and I knew it would be but I didn't expect it to be this perfect and I had to postpone watching it for a while but I finally got around to it and I loved it!The most amazing part of this show is the main character. The lead actor is so perfect? I knew of him only through the infamy of his viral "oppaaaa" gif but that was enough to know he is a good actor. He was amazing though! I'm discovering (all these already super-discovered, well-known, applauded by literally everyone) older k-actors and I don't know, I may go back and watch all their old dramas!
This show is a murder mystery with a pressure point that is about to explode like a ticking bomb. The main character's personal investment and involvement in the situation, adds a necessary urgency to the plot that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats until all is revealed. I have to say, this was very well-planned. The plot moved so smoothly...that said, there were some parts of the final reveals that I did not love. But overall, everything connects, just as the name of the show promises, like fates connected with a red string of fate. I also loved the characterizations. From the main protagonists to the main villains, to the minor characters, everyone seemed well-thought out with motives that moved the plot forward and helped unravel the mystery.
The story is also strewn with melancholic nostalgia. As the plot progresses and secrets are revealed, old connections are dug up and people are forced to face each other after years of estrangement, you feel sorry for what could have been and what was lost along the way.
In addition to the interesting characterization and sufficient plotting, the show had perfect production. You know how I know it was perfect? It was basically invisible! You don't even notice it! Everything went so smoothly that it never stood out like a sore thumb.
I wouldn't rewatch this probably but it was still such a great drama.
Overall: If you like mysteries, action that isn't just mindless violence, tense plots and interesting characterization, look no further! Watch it! This was the best 2024 show I have watched so far!

You need to have an excellent memory for this
Dont really understand the need to get ji sung's character hooked on drugs. Imo it didnt really add much to the plot. Otherwise everything was top notch especially the nostalgia created at times particularly at the end. A lot of good friendship days missed because of one bad decision 20 years ago. Its a great one time watch, never becomes dull and boring, all the actors fit perfectly into their respective roles. I will be looking forward to more from this director and writer. And ji sung is the best actor in South Korea.Was this review helpful to you?
It is perfect from the beginning till the end!
Finally a great new thiller drama. It is fast pace and not a single episode is boring. I got hooked from the beginning and the suspense was killing me. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. You will never guess what is gonna happen next and who is the culprit. Also you will always get a little bit closer to the true with each episode.The story and the production is great. It is very well written and the acting is great.
I love the ending. The justice was served and they got back their "connection"!

THE MOST BRILLIANT DRAMA OF 2024
The plot is so well executed and this is a type of drama where you have to pay attention to understand it! The plot is intelligent!The building the suspense part was my favorite! It's not your usual fast-paced drama. So please give it some time to grow on you. The climax could be made a bit better!! But overall the drama was very good!
The acting of every person was too good! Park Tae Jin's acting was extraordinary!!
JISUNG AND HIS ACTING NEVER DISAPPOINTS! ANOTHER AMAZING DRAMA BY HIM!

Who was the one behind the murder of Junseo? Who was it that orchestrated in getting Jaegyeong to become addicted to drugs? What kind of conspiracy was afoot that ties all these people who were connected to each other from the time of their youths? Because of these many questions one couldn't help wanting to dive into the mystery while rooting on Jaegyeong and his friends to solve the mystery while also fighting to not let the drugs get the better of them.

Every character is justified
Although it has too many characters, their presence is felt. They made contribution to the story. Well made and fast paced. After each episode, you'd want to see the next one.As for the re-watch value, I'd say it's low coz it's very intense and no one wants to go through those emotions again haha.
Recommended series of this year❤️
