Brilliant Concept, Great Start - Ending "demands" S2
When this drama was first announced, I was instantly intrigued by its bold, original concept - the idea of physically seeing someone's "S-Line" was like a marker of power or influence had so much potential. And the show starts strong. Each episode adds new layers through intriguing characters and mysterious events, all while staying rooted in the core story of Sin Hyeon Hop (Arin) and Detective Han Ji Uk (Lee Soo Hyuk), as they unravel the truth behind the S-Line phenomenon.
What really stood out was the way each episode tackled a new case, all connected by a subtle thread of social commentary. The ability to see someone’s S-Line felt symbolic—representing privilege, leverage, and the consequences of having access to hidden truths. It raises an interesting moral question for the viewer: if such a thing existed in real life, would it lead to progress or pure chaos?
Up until Episode 5, the show delivers on all fronts: mystery, pacing, acting, music. But unfortunately, Episode 6 stumbles just when answers are most needed. The supernatural twist isn't properly explained, leaving too many loose ends: Who/What is the creator of S-Line and the glasses? What’s the true motive? Instead of answers, we’re left with speculation.
That said, the short format, strong performances, and thought-provoking premise make S-Line worth watching ONLY IF a Season 2 is confirmed. As a standalone, it’s frustratingly incomplete, but with a continuation, it has the potential to become a truly standout series.
