An intense chase thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat - for a little too long

The plot is good and the way they reveal info in bits and pieces gives you time to think for yourself, wonder how the characters will react and twists the plot in rather mind blowing ways. As a concept I think it's very interesting and so far I haven't come across a similar plot. The main actors deliver a good performance, especially Yang Sejong, acting three different people while still managing to deliver distinguishable personalities for each character. However, I think they could've easily made this a 12 episode drama. At one point it just starts to feel like they're dragging it out. Similar scenes keep repeating and some conversations just go in circles with different phrases. The drama also puts certain cliches like getting run over by a vehicle into, honestly, too much use. It was almost comical how much unnecessary and easily avoidable death this drama contained. I seriously started to wonder if the characters were just straight up stupid.

On the plus side though, the drama did a very good job keeping up the tension throughout the entire series and every cliffhanger just made you wanna jump right into the next episode. You might have to tough it out but it's hard to drop. With a little help from the skip button, I'd wholeheartedly recommend this drama.
