compelling, but heroes act just like the villains & drama loses steam
A well acted decent crime drama with some fun moments of romantic flirtation but overall it's a gritty, dark, sober with a mountain of political intrigue. I dropped it after 4 episodes, but then needed something in the back ground, so I watched another episode,( thinking that I wasn't invested, so it wouldn't keep me up.) Joke's on me ! I kept just watching an episode every so often & found that though it wasn't the kind of drama I normally like, the cast & the camaraderie of the cops , with thier tenacity for justice somehow drew me in.
Final thoughts :
Kang Do Chang's sister was so miserable, rude & selfish that I could not muster up any sympathy for her. Near the end, she did "evolve", but by then, I disliked her so much it was hard to accept the change as genuine.
The drama lost it's steam around episode 13 and from then on
I was sad to see that the 3 main characters compromised thier morals & took justice into thier own hands. I'm not saying that the bad guy didn't deserve his punishment, but in the fake world, I want heroes to get it right by not taking the same sort of actions that the villains do. So, ironically, all three ended up tainted by the desire for vengeance & so were not actually "Good". This ruined the series for me.
