Sympathizing with the Killer

I was very invested in this series. The pacing and writing/direction of the episodes were well done. A killer leaving puzzle pieces after each murder right up my alley. I originally thought a more linear approach would have been an excellent choice to root out the killer but in the end, I liked how it all played out. Not sure I liked the last ending or if this warrants a sequel like the ending suggest.

Sun Suk Ku and Da Mi were both good here even though Da Mi's character, Ena, was very annoying sometimes. This cast is excellent and the standouts for me were Kim Sung Kyun as Captain Yang and Park Gyu Young as Dr. Lee. Captain Yang's back story and what he was trying to accomplish broke my heart.

Episode 10 is one of the greatest episodes of TV I have watched this year. All that is revealed and all that comes b/c of those events had me reeling. Then episode 11 and Dr. Lee's coup de grace left me bawling. Seriously well written and acted. Park Gyu Young deserves any and all awards for her performance in episode 11 alone.
