A DARK CLASSIC IN THE MAKING
It is a drama that takes hold from the very first episode and never loses its momentum. The lead actor, Ji Chang Wook delivers a performance that defines the series. He embodies both menace and vulnerability, making the character unpredictable and unforgettable.
The writing is equally strong, carefully balancing crime, loyalty, and emotion. The love triangle adds another dimension, creating tension that isn’t just about romance but about trust, betrayal, and survival. It pushes the story into even more powerful territory, making every decision matter.
What makes this drama stand out is how carefully it balances its noir edge with human emotion. It has the grit, the suspense, the atmosphere of noir masterpiece, but it never loses sight of the character at its core.
This is the best Kdrama I’ve watched so far, and honestly, the type of drama I’d recommend to my film club friends. It’s not just worth watching, it’s worth rewatching again and again.
