Escapist realism
It did a great job of delivering what a K-drama is supposed to.
Because it is escapist fantasy the good guys won in satisfying ways, but at the same time the dramas shone a light on some truly horrific social and legal ills.
It gets extra marks for having no romance between the leads and for having a really credible, intelligent, nuanced villain.
It loses points for Netflix's incredibly aggravating obsession with movie-length episodes, but overall a great watch
