Surprisingly good crime drama, with a PERFECT villain wow
I'll keep it short.
I started this after seeing Jing Boran as the ML, and I've missed his acting. The first few episodes, I thought the story was mid but there seemed to be a lot of potential for the main couple. A few more episodes in, I realized the romance aspect is far from being the main genre of the drama. I'll be honest, I was considering dropping it. But the villain's story really drew me in. He is so perfect as the antagonist-- you can't help but hate his guts but also really admire the portrayal of the character. I was truly blown away by how perfectly he embodied a psychotic character. As the plot thickened, I found myself more invested in the story overall rather than just the main couple's relationship. JBR was also amazing of course, and has amazing chemistry with everyone, though I would like to see him in a more romance-centered drama.
Overall, I think this was a great blend of crime and romance. I'd say 70-30 respectively. Each episode gives more details and every now and then there was a reveal of things that happened. The back and forth flashbacks were a bit too common and hard to keep track of, and my hopeless romantic side wishes they showed more scenes of just the leads, but for a crime drama it was one of the better ones.
