Fabricated city all over again....

so if you have seen ji chang wook's movie fabricated city this series has the same premise with a very big difference ; the movie had a better satisfying end .

so it starts strong and keeps you hooked until it became flat in the middle with our ML clueless and looking for who did this to him and we get drawn into a mini squid game in the middle just to give us an excuse how ML got out of jail .

acting was 10 out 10 especially kyungso perfect ruthless psychopath you can tell even from his eyes that he is crazy.

so many charaters introduced without a background they were just added to kill someone or to be killed [ Chinese girl with the knives , the guy with glasses who killed tae joong brother ].

we never got to see what happened to yohan's biological mother , we got subtle hints that she caused his parents death but we never got to know how.

we didn't even have a proper background for yohan when he started this whole idea for fabricating evidence , why he turned out to be what he is now we will never know

what bothers me the most we didn't get to see him get sentenced or paying for what he has done .

this one had potential and a strong start yet it ended up lacking alot of details in the end although they had 12 episodes they could have explained somethings better than what they had done .
