This is one of those rare dramas that got me hooked right from the opening and kept me curious and looking forward till the end. I like Fabricated City and apart from 1st 4 episodes that reminded me of the movie, the rest of the content were pretty fresh. Many scenes kept me at the edge of my seat. All the fights, the car chase, the flying bike, and the escape were executed too realistically. Before watching the show, I was wondering how PTJ is gonna exact his revenge on someone far more powerful than most people. But the writer accounted for those questions right from the start...his bike riding skills, his personal training in the prison and most importantly, how he's not someone who gives up easily. The villain honestly felt flat in the initial episodes but from episode 5 onwards, he started showing his true colors. To me, he's an interesting character because of how he was portrayed. He looks innocent and childlike outside but is really a psycho. I felt so nervous toward the end, wondering how PTJ is gonna defeat him. I don't like the nanny and found her acting over-the-top most of the time.

Overall, the story makes me care about the characters and want to root for them. It lost some steam here and there by the end of the episodes, but is still satisfactory for me. Some viewers expect answers and a perfect closure for every area of PTJ's life, but I think the ending is realistic. Years have passed since he was incriminated so people have moved on and there are things that are better left unsaid. I am most grateful the writer did not turn the story toxic or makjang.

Highly recommended watch if you're into action thrillers and a fast-paced plot.

Also just want to add this news source about how The Manipulated contributed to the double digit growth of Disney+ last month: https://mobile.newsis.com/view/NISX20251203_0003427347#_endPass
