Weak execution?
My review: 7.5/10
I can say i pretty much enjoyed this drama! The plot was really good, the acting was solid and I found it entertaining throughout. It's one of those dramas where I had a good time watching every episode, even though I wouldn't necessarily say it's something that will stick with me for a long time or that I'd rewatch.
One thing I didn't expect was how Moon-baek's character would turn out. At first, I thought this would be more of a typical police versus villain story, but the drama took a different direction. Instead of focusing entirely on catching the person behind everything, it explored what happens when guns suddenly become accessible to ordinary people.
I really liked how the drama showed different people's reasons for wanting or using a gun. Some were driven by anger, sadness or desperation, and it showed how easily someone can start believing that pulling the trigger is the answer. I also liked how the drama explored society, the media and how people might react if something like this actually happened. It wasn't just about the villain versus the police, it showed the wider impact of guns and the consequences they could have. Even though I wouldn't call everything mega realistic, I still really enjoyed this aspect of the story.
However, there were a few things that annoyed me. Maybe I'm slow or something, but I don't fully understood why the gang had such an important role in the overall plot? Anyways, I also found the investigation frustrating. It's crazy to me how much time the police spent trying to figure out how the guns were being distributed and who was behind the entire operation, only for their response to feel so underwhelming once they finally figured it out. They eventually uncovered how the guns were getting into people's hands and identified Moon-baek as the person behind it all, but I kept wondering why so little seemed to be done about him after all that. It felt like the investigation had been building towards this huge discovery, but the payoff wasn't as satisfying as I expected.
Another thing I found strange was how little we actually saw of people being properly questioned. Apart from the guy in the first episode, I barely remember anyone being properly interrogated. Maybe it happened off-screen, but it made the investigation feel even less convincing.
Some of the police's decisions also felt incredibly unprofessional. Like why would the main character let some random guy he'd just encountered, who had even broken into someone's residence looking for a gun, tag along with him during an investigation? I know it's just a serie, but decisions like that genuinely made it difficult to take the police work seriously. The plot itself was good, but the execution, especially when it came to the investigation, could have been much better.
Despite that, I don't have one particular major complaint that ruined the experience for me. It was genuinely a very good and entertaining drama. I just don't think it left a particularly strong impression on me.
Overall, an interesting plot, solid acting and a different approach to the usual crime story. I especially liked how it explored what could happen to society if guns were suddenly handed out to ordinary people, but I wish the storytelling and investigation had been handled better. I had a lot of fun watching it, even if it wasn't something that will stay with me for a long time! ❤️
