Halfway through and this is one of 2019's best dramas for me so far. Yes the drama has some minor issues but overall it superb. I had little expecations but this is way better than I expected. Firstly, it is different from the other dramas we have been getting recently. Moreover, the pacing is good, it is very well acted, I am really liking all the characters and their performances, am enjoying the music and the story is great and moving. There is emotions, maturity and depth. Extremely underrated and cannot wait for the next episodes !
I can see why people criticize and do not enjoy this drama and I respect their opinion. I was the same too at the beginning of the show, even though the acting, the cinematography, directing and the production quality were superb, I found the dialogue mediocre and writing poor (especially knowing the screenwriters are responsible for SFD and Queen Seon Deok) also it was slow. I was not that invested/interested in the characters or story, for me there was something missing (up until episode 2). However, from episode 3 the show picked up (the pacing got better, there was more to the story and it got interesting and better each episode, the action also the music was great, the acting got even better and I started loving the characters and learnt as to who they truly are and the twists !) I was hooked and completed the rest in no time. The season also ended superbly, glad I gave it a chance and cannot wait for more !
Awesome article ! After reding the article I decided to watch it, I usually do not watch Taiwanese dramas but this one was brilliant ! Thanks for the recommendation !
MASTERPIECE (exceptionally well-written, top notch acting, the whole cast was superb ! Full of suspense and unpredictable plot twists which were brilliant that had me glued to the screen and on the edge of my seat wanting to watch more ! Directing, editing, music, tension, pacing and comedy throughout the episodes was great). I really enjoyed every minute ! One more thing: The chemistry between Nam Goong Min, Choi Won Young and Kim Byung Chul was FANTASTIC !!
A medical thriller with no romance, a lot of supense/mystery and unpredictable plot twists that will have you on the edge of your seat wanting to watch more. Even though there is no romance, highly recommend it because it is a brilliant drama ! (To be clear, there is a loveline between Ms Oh and Prosecutor Jung (support cast) but romance is not a big/central aspect of the drama !)
Choi Won Young:-The guy with the weird fashion style in Mad Dog-The guy who is selfless in Sky Castle -The guy…
I really like and enjoy all his roles and characters but him playing the bad guy is definitely his forte and he shows it once again here ! For me this is his best role I have seen him in, firstly because he absolutely slays it ! Secondly, his acting/performance delivery is masterful (from the facial expressions to body languagae and to dialogue delivery, everything is outstanding !) No one could have played Lee Jae Jun better than Choi Won Young.
Uh oh ! They have unleashed the beast ! Na Yi Je was crazy before but now he knows what that fool did for his mother not to get surgery and leading her to die, oh my ! Also, Ms Oh and Prosecutor Jung !!! :) SUPERB !
