Exhilarating Ride to the End
A distraught man walks into a police station claiming he had killed a man while yelling at a CCTV camera. Jo Sooji, a single mom detective is adamant on investigating the case despite subtle threats by Jang Do Han from Seoul Prosecutor's office, until she is left devastated when her daughter fell off a building while under Sooji’s mom's watch. Further investigation shows Yu Na went into the building with a high school student who was volunteering at Yu Na's school, who turned out to be Seoul Chief Prosecutor's only son, Yoon Shiwan. Yu Na died due to complication of multiple injuries a few days later and both cases are eventually hushed. Jo Sooji goes on a rampage, holding Yoon Shiwan at gunpoint intending to kill him as the law would not hold him responsible for Yu Na's death. She iss subdued but is let loose by mysterious person during police transit. Since then, she works with Seo Bomi and Gong Kyungso and a leader none of them ever knew, to crack down past cases revolving around Chief Prosecutor, Yoon Seongro.
Man oh man, the pace of this one is too fast that I could not put down my phone even when I go to the bathroom. I finished all 32 episodes in under 2 days! Lee Siyoung has always been one of my favourite Korean actress, and of course she works wonders on this. Jo Sooji went from being a loving mom and dedicated police officer who believe in the law to a notorious fugitive who kept doing the police's work for them while breaking the law here and there, apprehending and handing out suspects that would blow up past cold cases that Yoon Seongro had been trying really hard to bury. Lee Siyoung’s action sequences have always been superb, and watching behind the scenes clips where the actress does the stunt herself is even more fullfilling.
I really liked Kim Yongkwang's Jang Do Han. He was great at pissing people (and me) off with his outlandishly peculiar antics, then managed to get me angry at his manipulating schemes, and then had me feel sorry for him for the lengths that he had to go to in order to achieve his goal. A very awkward and complicated character whose wavelength cannot be anticipated at all. You won't know whether he would go rogue or do that good deed expected of protagonist characters, cuz he is that grey character with questionable conscience.
And Lomon who played Yoon Shiwan was damn awesome. I thought he looked familiar AF, and while I was writing this that I found he was the main character of Revenge of Others! He rocks there too, I've wanted to watch his other works since I saw Revenge of Others last year, but I didnt notice The Guardians. Although he played the antagonist here, I truly enjoyed it as he played the twisted psychopathic young man really well. I am going to watch out for his other works later.
All in all I love this show. It has an open ending like they were going to do season 2, but somehow they never did. Too bad for that. Action lovers, go for this! Romance lovers should steer clear cuz there is no romance whatsoever between the main leads, exactly the way I like it.
