who is really being manipulated?

I didn't expect such an intensely emotional drama from the very first episode.

Park Tae-jung (Ji Chang-wook), an ordinary, decent guy whose entire life is systematically destroyed when he is framed for a brutal crime he didn't commit.
An Yo-han (Do Kyung-soo) is chillingly effective as the cold, calculating villain-he's genuinely unsettling. The action sequences are slick and hard-hitting, but the real power comes from the psychological tension.

The storyline is intense, full of emotional twists, challenge, and moments that leave you speechless. Each episode builds on the last with smart writing and powerful direction, creating a thrilling journey that keeps you craving more.

It's darker and grittier than most K-dramas but that's what makes it stand out. You can tell the cast and crew gave everything to make this one unforgettable.

Although the tension drops a bit in the second part, it doesn't diminish its quality.

Definitely this Kdrama captures a layered story of vengeance, manipulation, and moral decay. This game cat-and-mouse story in which the line between truth and deception is blurred, where survival requires one to be stronger, but more so to become the very thing they despise.
