Good Watch, But Didn't Blow Me Away
This drama was actually a nice surprise! The main story was really engaging, even though those violent scenes were kind of rough to get through sometimes.
My main issue was the pacing. Even though the show only has eight episodes, it felt super drawn out at times. I kept checking the clock, waiting for the episode to wrap up! The main idea behind the show was solid, but something just felt a bit bland in the way they delivered it, and I never totally got lost in the story.
The absolute highlight of the whole series was definitely the friendship between the central trio. Their bond was fantastic, and it really carried all the emotional weight—I just wish they had explored their relationship and bond more instead of wasting time on unnecessary plot. Plus, Jin So Baek was my favorite character—they were a definite bright spot! So Nee's incredible transformation for the role was absolutely mesmerizing. We also have to praise Seung Jo; the difference between his two characters was amazing, and he played both roles brilliantly. I was also really happy with the satisfying ending, where everyone got what they deserved.
Overall, it's a competent show and a good watch, but honestly, it didn't leave a huge impression on me.
