I don't know if anyone will find this meaningful or not but I just want to express how grateful I am for having the characters actually communicate with each other.
When it was revealed that Choi Kang used to be in JDD forces, I expected him to keep it secret from his neighbours for the majority of the series or that his wife wouldn't be aware of that and she would learn it later on, resulting in a conflict. I was very happy to see that wasn't the case here. Yes, Choi kang didn't want to reveal his former identity but eventually, when Byeong Nam outed him, he accepted that his new friends should be aware of his past and he even opened to his trauma to Byeong Nam.
Another aspect I really liked was how expressive Choi Kang and Byeong Nam were about the fact they didn't want to abandon each other. Choi Kang didn't want to endanger Byeong Nam and while Byeong Nam acknowledged that, he still didn't want him to carry all the burden by himself and he wanted to be there to assist him, either by offering him new equipment or helping him physically. The same goes for the rest of the team.
As for his wife, I love how understanding she was and that she supported him going to save his friends. It's hinted that she knows what he had gone through as a JDD soldier and once she saw how worried he was about his friends' safety, she told him that it was fine to go and help them.
Just some random thoughts, I just wanted to say that I'm happy with the way the drama handled the communication among the adult characters. Relying to childish misunderstandings or poor communiction in order to create drama would have ruined the story for me and I was happy to see that the writer avoided this.
Just started watching this today. I've watched the first two episodes and so far, I'm very intrigued. I love this type of stories of characters who need to get humbled in order to grow more as people and Kang David falls into this category. I'm having a blast watching Jyung Kyung Ho's portrayal, he doesn't come across as cringe and he embodies the character's quirks and traits very well.
I need people to stop calling Mo Eun a psychopath. She did bad things and she used Yun Sun in order to kill Ko Se Hun but she's still not a psychopath. Due to her trauma and resentment, she decided to take matters into her own hands and kill the people who were responsible for her sister's death. She's a very complex character so reducing her personality to her being a psychopath is a disservice to the character.
On top of that, unlike psychopaths, Mo Eun shows empathy towards people and she doesn't act without a motive. She didn't kill innocent people, nor did she show any other psychotic traits in her flashbacks. She didn't let Hui Yeong kill herself, she saved her inmate from her bullies, she felt sympathy for Yun Sun and at the end of the day, she felt remorse for her actions and sought atonement by killing herself.
Just finished watching it. Definitely one of the best thrillers this year. The plot was engaging for the most part and every single actor did a magnificent job. Both Jeon Do Yeon and Kim Go Eun were stellar and their chemistry made Yu Sun and Mo Eun's dynamic even more appealing. Park Hae Soo was also very good and it's always a pleasure watching Jin Seon Kyu on my screen.
The script could have been tighter in the last episodes but overall, I found the drama to be more than worth it. So happy that it didn't disappoint me, it was one of my most anticipated releases this year and the result was great.
