This show was brilliant. A glossy heist like vibe that covers and contrasts brilliantly with the twisted world that lurked beneath. It was the perfect allegory for how deceit and cons work. Everything was so well executed. Every conflict arises naturally from opposing viewpoints and values and not from foolish miscommunications or noble idiocy. Every flashback reveals just enough to peel back the layers to the characters and every crossroad is an opportunity for growth. And the characters are all brilliantly written and acted. Their dynamics are fabulous and it was so refreshing to see characters be honest with each other. I have to shout out Kim Dong Wook in this. His performance has Han Mu Young is just incredible. He carefully balances a character that both has the softest heart and the steeliest spine. The performance is understated but the emotions he projects are powerful. Chun Woo Hee matches him an amazing range, bringing to life a character who wears cynicism like armour and has a well of rage beneath. Their chemistry and that of the entire cast is incredible. Every character gets a role and pushes the plot forwards and there’s not one wasted moment. I cannot recommend this drama enough.
