Riveting Yet Delicious Revenge Story
I have to say this series does live up to its hype. It's one of those drama's that keep you engaged and tense all throughout the series. So-Hee did an amazing job with her acting as Ji-Woo. She played her character with so much depth, vulnerability but yet also this unwavering fearlessness to seek after her father's killer. It was tough at times to watch Ji-Woo be abused, bullied and treated wrongly by almost all the people in this story but it paid off to see her come through at the end still standing. It also showed glimmers of hope and goodness in humanity with her father, Pil-Do and even Mu-Jin himself, providing care to her. I like how the story is complex and you feel these difficult choices that So-Hee has to make in regards to both sides she playing for.
I have some nitpicks and gripes though with the story such as who is Ji-Woo's mom and how come she never told her her dad is an undercover cop? Could've saved a lot of hassle and misunderstanding. Secondly, how come no cops recognizes Dong Hoon... It makes no sense. Thirdly, how did no one from her narcotic unit see So-Hee's giant Dongcheon tattoo on her chest when she was unconscious at the hospital the first time???!! Lastly, the battle was amazing but the amount of slashes and stabs they endured, they'd both be blooding to death on the floor instantly but I'll let it slide.
Overall, if you're looking for a John Wick type of revenge story, then I recommend this drama. The cast and characters were amazing and interesting. You feel for all of them in some sense. The fighting choreography is great and Ji-Woo comes across believable and not as some unbeatable Mary Sue type of character. Lastly the ending pays off and it's satisfying. Anyways give this one a go. Cheers!
