"Being alive gives you an opportunity."
This drama is interwoven with earthy colors , subdued action scenes and sense of solidity and then there is a strong poetic undertone. You feel the weight of the subject matter and pacing is rather appropriate to maintain this tension throughout 32 episodes.
What a gripping premise. It has to do with murders of the people who have gravely mistreated children. Themes are related and interesting, victims and perpetrators seem to be everywhere. Many interesting questions arise among which the most important seems: "Who has the right to judge?" or "At what point is the punishment justified?"
Have to say the producers were smart with execution so the beginning and end felt meaningful...even though there were many loose ends in the story. (Personally, I wish the policeman and the main protagonist adopted Ha-na and ended up together. )
I watched this after Blind, which thematically perhaps addresses the similar issues, and have to say Children of Nobody did better job with the story and the ending in. Although they had 32 episodes to do so, the plot did not feel like a drag. Blind had a more interesting premise and perhaps better villain. Acting was average I would say. There is not a single character that stood out, but neither there is any disruption. The topic seems to have been the focus, which perhaps might have been even an intelligent choice.
A few ideas I picked up from the drama that absolutely captured me (and can give you sense of the tone of this drama):
"The crimes of the living are diluted into life and relationships, and then they finally disappear altogether."
"Being alive gives you an opportunity."
"I am glad it was not me." (You will know when you see the drama)
I think it is a worthy watch if you are into these types of dramas. It tackles a serious issue that is worth digging into. I feel certain dose of responsibility after watching this.
Thank you for reading.
