"It only takes an F to turn law into flaw."
This drama had a strong start, gripping and full of promise. But as it progressed, it lost sight of its core theme. The lead team—initially driven by the need to correct the failures of the legal system—began second-guessing their mission, tangled between their principles and societal stereotypes. The concept of vigilante justice demands unwavering conviction, especially in a world where “law is always right” is an illusion. Laws are written by imperfect humans, filled with loopholes, and sometimes, justice is either insufficient or entirely absent. In such cases, when crimes are undeniable and victims countless, non-state actors become a necessity.
But this drama? It took a nosedive the moment an utterly useless prosecutor—boasting a flawless record of failure—started spouting idealistic legal virtues. And shockingly, the lead character bought into it. If this prosecutor had a history of actually delivering justice, perhaps her influence would be somewhat convincing. But watching the ML get manipulated by this deadweight of a character? Sorry, can’t relate. This was the turning point, and the plot never recovered. Instead, it spiraled downward, with the FL practically shoving it into the drain.
The organ trafficking case was dragged out unnecessarily. Meanwhile, the prosecutor and her equally useless counterpart were more focused on chasing the ML than on the real criminals—a literal bus full of them escaping right under their noses. In reality, they would’ve been suspended for sheer incompetence. But of course, the drama couldn’t afford to question the sanctity of law enforcement. So, instead of exposing the system’s flaws, the plot took a ridiculous turn—parading around convicted criminals like VIPs—only for the prosecutor to still lack evidence. It wasn’t until four out of five members of the core team got hurt that she miraculously decided to start using her brain. But shhh, we must never question a law enforcer. Law is supreme (with all its loopholes).
That being said, the cast did their best. Lee Je Hoon delivered a solid performance, though his fight scenes could’ve been better. Esom, as the prosecutor, was stiff as always—I never find her convincing. The real FL for me? Pyo Ye Jin. The supporting cast, including guest appearances, was commendable. The BGM, dominated by violin melodies, effectively set the mood.
Final Verdict: This show was a wasted potential case. With a premise like this, the writer could’ve unleashed a storm of creativity. Instead, they played it safe, shallow, and frustratingly naive.
