Darkness that lures you in
It's a niche drama. Dark, suspicious, alluringly mesmerizing.This drama pokes into the darkness of the viewer, and I feel could be misunderstood as slow or boring when addressed not in the just-right mindset. Just like listening to metal, hard rock and/or grieving sad songs requires a certain mindset, the darkness this drama digs into is also likely not in everyone.
The main character is...unsettling at best. She doesn't express emotions like everyone else, making it hard to tell what she's thinking. Throughout the show her actions and words start to make sense, though still making the viewer unable to tell the subtle line between truth and deception.
I don't remember when I last thought a drama's name was so fitting. It made me doubt the chatacters the whole length of the drama...but at the same time, I got to a point where I was fine with either ending, both made sense to me.
Noteworthy aspect were the ending scenes. Instead of being a straight cliffhanger where we don't know what will happen next, we're left with a taste of the characters' worlds taking a 180 turn, leaving the viewer guessing how they're going to deal with the aftermath.
The cast. The characters portrayed weren't fluffy or very emotional people, hence their emotions had to be conveyed in subtle mannerism. I thought the actors did an awesome job, especially in more emotional scenes where they still refused to scream and cry while delivering the complexities of their character's emotions.
The music was proper, dark and tension-gripping, so no complaints here.
Would I recommend? Yes. Definitely yes. For a drama of its genre, I really have no complaints.

"Facing doubt"
The performances of all the actors from the first episode to the last episode were excellent and they reflected the tension, excitement and cinematography wonderfully on the screen. My favorite character from the Kdrama was Koo Dae Hong. The Kdrama's song was also very good. I think this Kdrama could have continued for a few more episodes. I think they tried to end it quickly. I think it could have been 10/10, like "Memoir of a murderer".Was this review helpful to you?
A drama that isn't average
The Kdrama Doubt is a masterclass in crime thriller storytelling, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish. The drama excels in weaving a complex web of mystery, tension, and unexpected twists that challenge even the most seasoned fans of the genre.One of the standout aspects of *Doubt* is its ability to surprise. Many crime thrillers follow predictable patterns, allowing viewers to piece together the mystery long before the protagonists. However, *Doubt* breaks this mold. It keeps you guessing until the very end, with each episode revealing layers of deception, hidden motives, and shocking revelations. For the first time in a long while, I found my predictions completely off the mark—a testament to the series' clever writing and intricate plot design.
The characters are another strong suit of the drama. Each one is crafted with depth, allowing viewers to connect with their struggles, fears, and ambitions. The protagonist’s relentless pursuit of the truth serves as the beating heart of the story, while the antagonists' cunning adds a chilling edge to the narrative. Their interactions are not just entertaining but also emotionally gripping, highlighting moral ambiguities and the cost of justice.
Visually, the cinematography enhances the suspense with its dark, atmospheric tones, while the haunting soundtrack perfectly complements the mood of the series. The pacing, too, is spot-on—never too rushed, yet intense enough to keep you invested.
In conclusion, *Doubt* is an exceptional drama that offers a refreshing take on crime thrillers. It engages your mind and emotions, leaving a lasting impression. If you're looking for a show that will keep you guessing and challenge your expectations, *Doubt* is a must-watch.

Doubtful
The characters in Doubt are monotone and boring. Maybe the director is tryong to create a certain tone for the show. To me, it just adds to the show being drawn out and not very intriguing. Each episode is much of the same. I keep hoping it will get better because I really liked the ML in Dr Romantic. I will keep watching until the end and hope the ending episodes will have me wanting to retract this review.Was this review helpful to you?

Do Potencial ao Desleixo: Um Drama que Não Convence
"Um drama com potencial que acabou sucumbindo sob o peso de seus próprios erros". Essa frase resume bem o que foi a experiência de assistir a esta produção. A sinopse prometia um thriller psicológico com camadas, mas o que recebemos foi uma execução que oscilou entre o clichê e o desleixo. Han Seok Kyu, um ator indiscutivelmente talentoso, foi completamente subaproveitado. Seu protagonista, ao invés de conduzir a narrativa, parecia ser conduzido por ela. Passivo, quase apático, ele frequentemente era eclipsado pelo elenco de apoio. Para um perfilador, sua falta de perspicácia em momentos-chave foi frustrante — a antítese do que se espera de um personagem central em uma história como essa.Já Noh Jae Won, como o inspetor Dae Hong, entregou uma atuação que me deixou dividido. Em alguns momentos, sua empatia era comovente; em outros, suas interações, especialmente com o garoto, pareciam desconfortáveis, até mesmo deslocadas. E o final? A revelação da verdadeira assassina foi uma piada de mau gosto: uma expressão debochada na sala de interrogatório e tudo se resolveu? Preguiça pura de roteiristas que claramente esgotaram sua criatividade muito antes do episódio final. Além disso, o arco principal pode até ter encontrado alguma conclusão, mas os secundários foram simplesmente abandonados. Min A foi morta por quê? Porque Kim Seong Hui precisava culpar o professor? E qual era o propósito disso? A lógica desses eventos é tão inconsistente quanto o roteiro que os sustenta. O professor, aliás, prometeu uma revelação que nunca veio. Estamos todos aguardando.
No fim, o drama começou com uma boa premissa, mas terminou de forma desleixada e esquecível. É o tipo de produção que faz você questionar se o tempo investido realmente valeu a pena. Para mim, infelizmente, não sei o que pensar.

Entre la duda y la desconfianza
Cuando empecé a ver este k-drama, lo hice más por aburrimiento que por interés, ya que la sinopsis no me llamó tanto la atención. Estaba buscando algo en Netflix y, al no encontrar nada mejor, decidí darle una oportunidad. Desde el primer capítulo, quedé completamente atrapada. La trama, que inicialmente me parecía algo predecible, comenzó a envolverme de una manera inesperada. A medida que avanzaban los episodios, me encontré dudando de todos los personajes, lo cual es una de las cosas que más me atrapó: esa sensación constante de no saber en quién confiar.Lo que más me gustó es la forma en que la serie logra mantener el suspenso y la intriga. Cada capítulo deja nuevas preguntas que hacen que no quieras parar de ver. Sin embargo, aunque la serie tiene momentos de mucha tensión, también siento que algunos aspectos no se desarrollan lo suficiente. En especial, me hubiera gustado que profundizaran más en la muerte del hermano de Ha-bin.
Es un k-drama que cumple su propósito de entretener, pero también deja una sensación de incompletitud, como si algunas respuestas estuvieran un poco vagas. Aún así, es perfecto para quienes disfrutan de historias llenas de giros y misterios, con personajes complejos y una atmósfera cargada de tensión.
