a stylish revenge drama

the whole premise and backstory is good. we do take a lot of time setting up the story, we see our main character's usual life and how his whole world get manipulated into something sinister. we see every step of how he is blamed and how he copes with life in jail. i appreciate the time taken to show this part of the story. the next part onwards its a bit off.

realistically it would be way harder than this to take someone like yohan down but even if we set realism aside i just kinda wanted some genius play by taejoon to finally defeat him. they ended his character so easily. he has advanced technology, he's smart, he's ruthless. it's a pity that they just ended his character just like that. the revenge part was more depended on taejoon emotions rather than a solid plan.

maybe this series would have benefitted from more episodes

the action sequences were amazing. the car race, the jail fights, that motorcycle chase, yohan sword fighting, the final battle....all were such good action shots. the acting is great too
