A FAST PACED THRILLER WITH IMPRESSIVE ACTION SEQUENCES

This drama has a really interesting concept at first. Every single character carries deep wounds and heavy back stories which made it pretty unsettling to watch at times.

One thing I’ll give credit for is the fight choreography, it’s good. The pacing is also quite fast, so it’s not so boring. But story wise... I found it unrealistic. The decision making of the parents didn’t make such much sense to me, and some of it feels forced for the sake of inhumane or trying to be provoking story. The plot had so much potential, but it didn’t quite land the emotional punch it was aiming for. It’s like they had a strong idea but didn’t fully know where to take it.

Would I recommend it? Probably not. As someone who enjoys thriller dramas, I’d say it’s just average. Still if you’re in it for the action, the sick fights scenes might make it worth the watching once.
