A Strong and Entertaining Drama That Runs Too Long
This is a very entertaining drama with strong characters and excellent acting. The cast fits their roles well, and that makes the performances feel natural and convincing. One of the show’s biggest strengths is how well the action, logic, and drama work together. Instead of feeling disconnected, these elements support each other and help the story stay engaging.
The beginning is especially strong. It draws the audience in quickly, introduces the characters effectively, and builds momentum in a way that makes the drama easy to enjoy. The early episodes set a high standard and give the series a lot of energy.
However, the drama begins to lose that sharpness in the middle and toward the end. The story starts to feel stretched out, and some scenes last longer than they need to. That hurts the pacing and weakens the overall impact. Ironically, many dramas have the opposite problem and feel too short, but this one feels too long.
It really seems like this should have been a 12-episode drama instead of 16. With fewer episodes, the story would likely have been tighter, more focused, and more effective from start to finish. Even with that pacing issue, it is still a very enjoyable series because the acting, characters, and balance between action and drama are all done so well.
