Here's why connection is more than just a cop story
I don't follow the mydramalist rating, so here's my rating system to help navigate my review better.
Plot: 1/1, Emotional impact: 0.5/1, enjoyment: 1/1, dialogues: 1/1, dynamics: 1/1, originality: 1/1, expectation: 1/1, acting: 1/1, ending: 0.5/1, recommend value: 1/1
Overall, Connection is 9/10 now let's get into the review!
The drama follows a familiar set-up, a police officer searching for the truth, but ‘connection’ stand out by placing our lead in the narcotics department and then turning the tables on him. His descent into drug addiction not only significantly raises the stakes but also adds a layer of irony because now it isn't just about the case or his dead friend. It's about survival.
Every characters feel sketchy, each with their own hidden agendas. While it is awfully obvious who the killer is, the story is rather concerned with why the murder happened.
The lead's addiction is central to the story. Hes constantly battling withdrawal, hiding his secret and forcing himself to power through the case. That tension keeps you hooked, always waiting for the moment everyone discovers his secret.
That all being said, the ending didn't land. It felt abrupt and undercooked, cutting off the emotional payoff just when it shouldve hit the hardest.
